Digital. Medibang.

My very first commission I did at NordicFuzzCon. If you read my loooooong journal about this convention (https://www.patreon.com/posts/paco-panda-world-25879964), now you know it has been my absolute favorite one, so this pic is very special for me because it was the first one I did during the dealer's den at NFC 2019. This was for Mikuro Lynx. Traditional. Watercolors + Colored pencils.

Christmas in March, yaaay!!! It was amazing!!! And here’s Mausie ♥️, once again!! Picture for the NFC’s conbook. If I had not enough doing lots of drawings for this convention. But… sorry, I’m so weak against Mausie, he’s so lovely. And spending time with him makes me love him even more. Digital. Photoshop.

NordicFuzzCon is over!! The first Christmas of the year is gone, now let’s wait to the second Christmas on December 25th Yeah, because NordicFuzzCon, this year, was a Christmas celebration :D A Winter Howliday And these drawings of Mausie (Mausie ♥) were part of the design of the lanyard and wristband for the attendees. There was another design for the Stew (staff+crew), Soup (Some Other Useful Personnel), GoH, and others. I’ll share that other design later.

And of course, I can’t complain drawing Mausie ♥ over and over again.Once again, Merry Christmas n__n

Some simple drawings for the newspaper of NordicFuzzCon: "What The Fuzz". A daily publication availabe for all the attendees, during the 5 days of the convention. On the back of every paper, there was a curious fact about Nordic jul and winter traditions. Gävle Goat Every winter, the Gävle Goat is erected in Gävle, Sweden – a giant version of the traditional straw-made Yule Goat. It has has become famous for being a frequent victim of vandalism, most often arson. Check out the Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A4vle_goat) for a humorous and detailed timeline outlining the security measures taken to secure the goat and how the goat has met its demise through the years. Rock & Roll Wolf While it has little to do with Yuletide or winter, the Soviet-French-Romanian musical Rock & Roll Wolf (1981) has somehow become a staple of Norwegian yule-TV, airing December 26th every year. A mother goat tries protecting her children from the big bad wolf and his gang. It is wonderfully entertaining, with live action actors dressed up in creative animal costumes. Howliday Traditions: Sankta Lucia On December 13th every year, Sankta Lucia day is celebrated throughout the Nordic countries with processions of people in white garb, carrying candles and singing the traditional Sankta Lucia song while handing out baked goods (lussekatter) to bystanders. Don’t ask why, just enjoy the singing and the free food! Pikkujoulu Pikkujoulu, which translates to “little Christmas”, is a Finnish pre-Christmas party tradition usually celebrated late November or early December. A typical pikkujoulu party will include seasonal food, singing, a generous amount of alcohol, and perhaps police intervention if things get too rowdy (which is not uncommon). Howliday Traditions: Televised Advent Calendars Since the 1950s, so-called “advent calendar” TV-series have become a staple of winter time in the Nordic countries, with the first episode airing on December 1st and the last on the 24th. One of the most successful shows was the Danish The Julekalender – about a group of Americanized nisser who must find a music box key before it’s too late – which was remade in both Norway and Finland.

If you attended NordicFuzzCon, in Stockholm, Sweden, this past weekend. Surely you got one of these T-Shirts. I would have loved to attend this furry convention, but it's very far away from me. What is true is that it was a big honor to have worked for them with these designs, especially because I love Mausie (the convention's mascot, that cute black little mouse) One of my silly goals in this life is meeting and hugging Mausie (you MUST see his fursuit if you haven't yet: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17593785/ ) The theme of this con was The Legend of El Dorado. Which style can include any kind of mesoamerican cultures, I took many elements of the mayan and aztec style at the time to sketch my proposals for these designs. Which one is your favorite?
