Panda Panda

Last NordicFuzzCon I was in a very red panda mood. I got to be in Steel's fursuit (with a Paco's cardboard mask, definitely Paco Panda) ( https://rb.gy/ppraly ), I was with a red panda plush named Butters, and at evenings I was wandering in a red panda kigu, which was a nice gift. Oh, and with a red panda tote bag. Such an impostor! Also, today is #NationalPandaDay . Happy Panda Day!!! Traditional. Colored pencils and white marker over toned blue mix media paper.

Happy to Be Alive

We shouldn't wait to have excuses to appreciate life, everything that surround us, moments we get to experience and friends whom we share our time here. Illustration for my friend Hukley. He's awesome! Digital. Photoshop.

Shoe Store

This is how I'm supposed to wear sandals, right? Zak asked Paco to go with him to a shoe store and the bear is just being a goofball. Illustration requested by FoxyFriendBacklash, as Patreon reward (Thank you!) Digital. Photoshop.

Christmas 2022

Merry Christmas, everyone!! This time I decided to not do a Christmas themed card, but instead more about winter. Despite we never have snow where we live (Mexico), I thought it was going to be great to attract good wishes for Holidays and especially next year, there are some themes that are very positive for me, and sharing them with people all over the world to make them smile is something that attracts good energies to make things happen. It's funny that I heard once that every 7 years there is something that makes your life change. There was a year when I went for first time to a concert alone, since then my life was about music and concerts, that was the most important thing for me back then. But 7 years later I moved to a new city to study college, then my life was about drawing and painting, I was hanging out with so many other people with same interests and also it was the year I joined the furry fandom. 7 years later I attended my first furry convention, despite I was already a furry, that made me change radically, I met so many awesome people all over the world, and my life goals changed positively. And now... this year I'm getting married, so I'm sure this is a new life change and I have my hopes it will be for good, I can't be more excited but of course nervous. On this picture, that has a lot of meaning for me, I included myself (Parinton, aka "Paco"), Roni (my dear husband), and the critters from my comic "Art & Biro": Art, Biro, Rocky (the feral raccoon), Julio and Nemo. I send all my best wishes to all of you, hoping you are having a great holiday season! *loves* Paco Traditional. Colored pencils

Blood Pressure

Rocky, when he was a kid, he played at being a nurse, so now, even though he knows that this is no longer just a game, he continues to enjoy it in the same way. Oh and I am like his guinea pig, at least it was not for him to learn how to perform an intramuscular injection, that would have scared me! Pic for Rocky, as Patreon reward (Thank you!) Digital.

Two and a Half Dragons

And suddenly I found two red dragons, one quite small, I was about 30 centimeters, and the other was big and fluffy. I wondered if I could belong to that group, I was not a dragon like them, so I put on some fake wings and decided to talk to them. They couldn't help but laughing, I couldn't fool them, it was more than evident that it was a panda pretending to be a dragon, but they didn't want to be mean and I received two hugs, a tiny and a big one, they accepted my company and I made two great little friends. Small dragon is Shorty Big fluffy dragon is Pico Fake dragon panda is Paco Digital. Photoshop.

Paco Panda Ref Sheet

Finally an update of my reference sheet, after some years not updating it, you can see a new little feature on him. Should I tell again the story of my fursona? Probably yeah, I'm sure many of you haven't read or listened it. I know many of you have read this story so many times: It was on 1998, I was liking many shows on TV, including Talespin ("Aventureros del Aire" in Spanish), and I wanted to belong to the show someway, to be friends of Baloo, Kit Cloudkicker and company, so I created my own character to imagine I could be in the show. That year, in the school they took us to the Chapultepec's Zoo, in Mexico City, I was especially excited for bears, but I could see for first time panda bears and I got amazed for how beautiful animal it was, very different to see them in person than just in videos or photographies. So when I was back home, my original character changed to be a panda, and that's how Paco the Panda was born. Soon he changed his name to Parinton thanks to a dream I had where I got that name in my head for that panda character and I decided to name him like that because it sounded more original than "Paco". But it's fine, call me Paco, I like that name! I created many other adventures in my mind out of the Talespin show, with that imaginary panda and his little brother Nemorio. My connection with panda bears was stronger when I discovered the punk rock band "Panda", which turned in my favorite band, not only because the name of it but for their music, until this day I can say it has been an important band in my life. I even showed my obsession for my music taste, my own characters and my love for pandas to my class mates in middle school and high school, for sure I scared them some way. But during all this time, I had no idea what was the furry fandom so I couldn't even call Parinton my fursona, it was just the toony animal character who was representing myself. It was not until 2008 at a Devmeet (a meeting from Deviantart users, back on the second half of 2000's those were very common in many parts of the world) when some guys were checking my portfolio, and one of them asked me if I was a furry. Well, it happened that those guys were furries and they were surprised I had no idea about the fandom and they introduced me. Everything they were telling me about this community was matching completely with me. And here I am! 12 years later of have discovered the fandom, and 22 years later of have created my panda character, more than the half of my life having that oreo bear with me.

Found the light

After being locked up and unable to find my way out, I found in you the light that it needed, it is 9 years now and I can't be more convinced that never before in my life had I made such a correct decision that it is to be with you. And there are still many things to live together. If I always traveled alone and you were always my lighthouse in the city. To my dog friend, the good boy...Roni Digital. Photoshop.

Snow Play

Outdoor snowing is a whole playground for a couple of friends who are from different parts of the world, from countries where they never see snow, so this makes it an uncommon experience for both of them. They are Demon Soul Dragon, from Thailand, and Paco Panda, from Mexico. Thank you, Soul, for supporting me on Patreon and being a good friend! Traditional. Colored Pencils.

Moraine Lake

This year, I had the pleasure to meet my friend Barley in person. He's such a great dog, we lived many adventures in company of Koidel around Alberta. Starting at Fur-Eh, then we went to the Banff national park, visiting amazing lakes like Lake Louis and Moraine Lake (the one in this picture), ending our trip in Calgary. Today, August 20, is his birtdhay, now I can use all my toony fingers from my hand paws to count how big he is. Happy birthday, Barley!! Your friendship means a lot to me!! Enjoy your day!! 🎉🎂 Wish him a happy birthday: https://twitter.com/BarleyMutt Traditional. Colored pencils.

Pastorela.

My Christmas picture from 2017. And as always, trying to show the traditions of my country during Christmas. Pastorelas are dramaturgical plays that tell stories related to the birth of Jesus, they can tell many stories, among them the most famous is the path of the shepherds to Bethlehem, where they are tempted by demons, who represent evil, and guided by angels who represent good. The pastorelas are also characterized by their live music and their songs. This tradition is usually done in churches, theaters or even in houses, organized in a homemade way. As you can see, in our pastorela I am the little devil, my brother Nemorio the angel. Art and Biro are the shepherds. Roni and Julio are the musicians. Rocky (the little feral raccoon) is just hindering our path, he wanted to be part of it. All of you are the spectators of our works, thank you very much for being with us all year, thank you for all the favorites, comments, retweets, or just watching us. Also a thousand thanks to all the artists that inspire me, to all the old and new friends, and to all the fandom that has been like a great home for all of us. Merry Christmas!! Feliz Navidad!!
