Everest

Everest, also known as BlueHelvetical or just Blue (born June 8th), is a furry artist, YouTuber and photographer/videographer who lives in Klang Valley, Malaysia.[1]

Biography

Everest is known for being a hobbyist artist and storyboard animator, specializing in both traditional and digital art. He spends leisure time making content on his YouTube channel where he plays video games (mainly Roblox), posts art-related videos, shares ongoing things in his life, and many more. He works as a barista and is a Wikipedia contributor.

A versatile and ambivert person, he speaks fluent Malay and English, with Russian being his third language acquisition. He knows how to sign in Malaysian Sign Language(MSL) and some basic American Sign Language(ASL).[2] He is a voice actor for 'roblox air crash films' on YouTube and also a plane spotter, using his Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 camera to take his photos.[3] He also spends his leisure time as a volunteer weather spotter. He loves to ride his mountain bike and often participates in cycling events. He had also previously served as a community service officer, and was into multimedia, specializing in Lua scripting as he had previously served as a Roblox game developer as a hobby, but has since moved on to urban planning and development. At times, he volunteered in animal welfare, taking care of cats at the animal shelter and giving food to stray cats.[4]

He is often described as the 'Taste of ASEAN' due to his vast Austronesian ancestry, rooted in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.[5]

Fandom involvement

Everest has shown interest in animal characters after finding out about the Warriors book series in 2013, following up by showing interest in anthropomorphic characters in 2014, finally being involved full time in the furry fandom online via Amino and Instagram since 2017.

In mid-2018, he started drawing furries, which he frequently draws with tactical elements and casual stuff. He also created his first fursona, named Quartz (later renamed Everest), and with the help of an online friend created his other fursona, Blue, that plays a main role in his social activity as well as his YouTube channel icon.

During mid-2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic worsened, Everest decided to try and create a X account to start his social and art career, other than just being active on Discord. Lots of art style changes occurred in just a year alone and he opened several art commissions.[6]

He still makes content to this day and is actively creating artwork and animatics.

Fursonas

Everest has created several fursonas of his own, with the main two being Snezhnov Everest Lushenko (or just Everest), a Siberian Husky/Eurasian wolf hybrid, and Blue Helvetical, a Protogen.

Both of his fursonas have undergone several changes throughout the years. Blue was created as an altered version of 'Everest'. He describes 'Everest' the wolf-husky as friendly, determined, trustworthy, and sharp, despite being cold and a loner, much to fit his personality traits. 'Everest' was usually used in personal arts and vent art, while Blue is prominently used as his YouTube icon and related platforms. Initially, Everest had a second full name, Blue Everest Helvetical, which is rarely used to avoid confusion.

In an alternate design of 'Everest' the wolf-husky, he appears mainly with dark grey fur, which Everest stated to be based on the old design of the fursona. Described as a shadow reflection of 'Everest', the alternate version is commonly used as his Roblox avatar and vent content.[7]

His most previously created character is a male grey and white tabby cat character named Ross, whose designs are based on a house cat of the same name he once had, made as a memory of its 9th anniversary. Ross has 2 feather earpieces on one of his ears based on the feather of a Malaysian Blue Flycatcher. Ross has a mixed swirl-stripe pattern on his body and a unique eye-like dot on his head. Ross also has a blue-colored eye instead of a green color, which Everest explains is because the tabby is very playful during its first 3 months of age (where kitten eyes are still baby blue) and it suits his grey-white fur. Ross is often confused with a Warriors character named Jayfeather. Everest used Ross as his artist icon picture while keeping his two main fursonas active.

From fans' recommendation, on 21 October 2023, Everest decided to give Ross a warrior name which is Sleetstream.[8] He also made a Minecraft skin of Sleetstream which he frequently used in his live streams.

Convention/meetup attendance

Social media

Everest joined YouTube on September 10, 2017, and has about 1.02k subscribers under the channel name BlueHelvetical, while his Twitter account currently has 4.2k followers as of October 10, 2023.

Trivia

  • He loves to cook fried rice with omelets[9] and drink blue lemon soda. He is also allergic to shrimp.[10]
  • A headshot art of Ross and a barely visible grey text "mmm. latte." can be seen on his YouTube channel banner only by desktop view.
  • His favorite song was "Lonesome Dreams" by Lord Huron.
  • In a test stream, his viewers asked in the chat what would Ross's name be if he were a warrior cat. Everest stated that it could be Rossenfur, Sleetstream, or Sprucefur because "He lives in the snowy taiga", which is the biome he was exploring in the Minecraft stream.
  • He learned sign language to communicate with a deaf friend.
