Actually, coming back to this with some fresh insight, I think may only be able to make them rumble when I'm really tired. The rest of the time I can make them whistle.

Jazy and Charming playing tag, moving together in a moment that feels effortless. Thereโs an unspoken understanding that goes beyond the game itself.
Last commission worked at MFF's Artist Alley. It was also a last commission I took during Sunday, and I thought I was going to succeed at finishing it before the Alley closed forever, there was still one hour and a half ahead before it closes and I was about to finish, but then... the Dealers Den closes and it was like everyone who was there moved to the Artists Alley and that was a very busy last hour. I had to finish it when I was back to my room before suiting up for last time during the convention, so I delivered it in fursuit.

Oh. My gosh. They animated Wes Anderson accepting a Special Filmmaking Achievement Award from the National Board of Review for FMF in the style of FMF.
except some people have a lot more or less votes than others, you have to split your votes between the things you want to and the things you need to live, almost no one knows how the votes are counted or how they relate to the outcome as the rules are complex and constantly changing
All this messโฆ just to decorate a single slice of cake!!! For Toya, this mess doesn't even matter, it was definitely needed as part of the process. What matters is the focus, pride, and quiet satisfaction of seeing something come together! For him, this was perfection!

My nephew invited me to his Steam family (along with his brother and cousins) and is now apparently working his way through my entire Steam game library. ๐
it's suspicious how suddenly now everyone has autism, adhd, or is trans, back then it wasn't like this
<insert that one graph about how the percentage of left handed people raised over the years, which coincidentally was when people stopped treating being left handed as demonic or something>
Again itโs Lib Dem Ed Davey who makes the right call when it comes to #Trump and foreign policy. It wonโt necessarily win him any votesโฆ
โKeir #Starmer should condemn Trump's illegal action in #Venezuela. #Maduro is a brutal and illegitimate dictator, but unlawful attacks like this make us all less safe.
Trump is giving a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity."
As far as I know, it's always been normal to lose track of which day of the week it is over the winter holidays, but it really doesn't help that our bin collections, normally on Wednesdays, are on Saturday today, and Friday and Thursday over the next fortnight! (Not that weekends are really any different from weekdays for me or my dad.)
So economists are always talking about "Financial indicators" But they're always some stupid thing that doesn't relate to most people. So I have a couple new ones that I think we should universally adopt.
If you have Billionaires, this is a sign of a failing economy. Someone has managed to amass so much wealth that they're clearly breaking the system. If you have Trillionaires, the problem is even more severe and your economy is nearing collapse.
If the number of homeless people you have is not trivial, you have a failing economy. Yes there will always be homeless people, it should never be a significant portion of the population.
Which leads into the next one,
Anyone working a full 40hr work week should be able to afford a home. At least something small like a single bedroom apartment. If people are living on the street because they can't afford a home, while working full time, that obviously means they are not being paid enough and that contributes to a failing economy.
If any of these are true, your economy is failing. Regardless if "number go up" or not. Because sooner or later, the people that you rely on to keep those numbers going up will not be able to afford to live, and the house of cards that is your economy will collapse.
Currently, all of these are true for the United States, and I'm willing to bet we're not the only ones, we're just the farthest along.
Isn't it cold right now for a water fight? This would go better on a warmer day! They don't care, there is laughter in the air, and absolutely no sense of strategy.
Cyber confidently soaks Goric with a garden hose, fully convinced the game is already won. What Cyber doesnโt realize is that Goricโs small water gun is about to unleash way more pressure than expected.

"Oh my family is definitely nuclear" "Two parents, two kids?" "Ready to split apart explosively at a moment's notice and cause further chain reactions."
Doctor Who episodes where he changes history by making sure the right side wins a war or saving an influential Great Man are kinda last-century. I want to see the stories where he changes history by instituting long-lived social reforms or championing education. Begone, trickle-down timeline meddling!
A year ago, a panda named Tubs went to Anthro Northwest and debuted his new panda fursuit. But people kept calling him Paco Panda, even though he had no idea who that was.
He messaged me online asking, โWho are you?โ Thatโs how we met and started chatting.
This year I finally made it to ANW, and I made matching badges for us to avoid any panda confusion :D
We panda bears are rare in the fandom. I had an amazing time welcoming 2026 with Tubs and his friends at ANW!!
I truly wish people would stop talking about the various labelled "generations". We're not all chunks of people sectioned off into these integer-boundary slices that all have particular values/beliefs/whatever, we're individually born at a point in time in which things are changing fluidly and continuously. The imposed quantisation isn't particularly useful, and it annoys me.
Agreed, although I said (ranted?) something similar in a conversation a while ago and someone said "classic Gen X viewpoint". Brilliant move and so annoying.
Itโs particularly annoying when people use a generational label to broadly describe everyone on the planet of a certain age. People will have had vastly different lives and experiences depending on where they live. I was born in 1977, so I technically fall into Generation X, however I grew up in Dublin and Iโm guessing my life was somewhat different to someone who grew up at the same time in San Francisco, Tokyo, Tehran, or Lagos.
that's a marketing categoorization aimed at finding out how to sell to each generation - businesses know too well that our choices are shaped at a young age, so they do these extensive studies to figure out how to sell early to them.
not least because I have no idea what these generations refer to. They just donโt stick in my brain. May as well be named after cheese. Generation Wensleydale sounds better too.
Completely this โฌ๏ธ. To be honest, I still don't know which label applies to which particular age range. It's something I'm happy to remain blissfully ignorant of.
Archer enjoying a quiet moment of his own, starting the new year exactly as he wants to. Smiling softly, confident that whatโs coming will be good. This past year brought knowledge and experience. Even the moments that werenโt happy, even the ones that hurt, gave us something valuable, lessons we carry with us and we can use as a new year begins.
I started this drawing during flight hours and finished it yesterday that I spent entirely with myself in Seattle, just before 2026 and Anthro Northwest began. In a way, it feels poetic: I was painting Archer while feeling exactly what he might have been feeling. Being alone isnโt sad when you know how to enjoy your own company. These moments with ourselves matter. For me, this was the perfect way to close the year, and to begin a new one surrounded by the community I love, wishing for the best ahead.
This piece was inspired by the balcony of a hotel I stayed at a few months ago in Puerto Vallarta. From there, we could see the other side of the bay. We saw raccoons!! One of many small, meaningful highlights of this year.
Picture for Archer, who has been a big supporter of my art this year, I appreciate it a lot! Digital. Procreate
I also shared a full version of that video, plus the full resolution version of this picture, exclusive for Patreon and Ko-Fi monthly supporters!! And also this year Iโm celebrating 10 years on Patreon, I will start something nice for my supporters, announcing it in some days but only there. Links on bio!! Thank youuuu!!
Happy 2026!!! And thank you all for everything! Thank you so much for your support, for your love, for your friendship!! Letโs make a very great new year together!!
I revived the tradition of making stamps and cards, this year Roni and I are featured on the stamps.
Traditional. Watercolor.
I'm sharing, on the first comment of this submission on my Telegram art channel, the photo of how the envelopes looked printed with these, and also a short time-lapse video process. Check it out at: https://t.me/panda_paco
It was kind of funny that, when sending the envelopes, they were stamping these stamps as if they were official, and leaving the real stamp with no stamp.

Storm, a cabbit, pauses to admire the first Christmas lights of the season. The beginning of holidays always carries a quiet kind of excitement, that kind of joy of going out the streets and see there is some kind of spirit, that we can't feel the same way as we were kids but somehow is still there.
This piece was drawn during BLFC, but I waited to share it until now, I think the season matches better the scene.
Piece for Storm the Cabbit. Traditional. Color pencils over toned tan paper.
Taking the time to share an experience, not to teach, but simply to let another person feel what itโs like. The joy comes from trust, movement, and the quiet understanding that this moment matters, even if no one says it out loud.
This picture shows us Tammy and Tycloud, as an early memory of his cousin doing this to him so he could see what it was like to skateboard. Definitely those kind of nostalgic scenes I love to portrait!
Traditional. Color markers over toned tan paper. For Tycloud. Done during the Artists Alley at MFF.
