Paintings and Sketches during TFF 2025

I can say Texas Furry Fiesta 2025 is so far the most succesful convention about artists alley, both economically and also about quality of commissions done during the event, that last point at least on my opinion, it may be sound very egocentric but I can tell I'm improving at doing drawings during an artists alley, and this was my very first time taking acrylic paintings as commissions. They were a little bit expensive but it was accurate with the time I take painting them, especially for th...

April: Traditional Pieces

Starting this month I got to work on a lot of traditional pieces, there are more that I did (digital and traditional) but that at the moment I can't share because either secret gifts or illustrations for a company with one of those agreements of not showing projects before they are launched.

I already shared two of these drawings in my galleries, I'm sorry for showing them first when here should be released before anywhere else, but I didn't have time to do this journal before, and also...

Bowie + Arco and Iris + Cody and Token + Dizzy B.

I got to work on four new pictures while I was visiting my parents.

Many updates of my life just to tell very quickly, I will try not to write a whole journal about this.

There has been a very annoying pain on my hip since I returned from NordicFuzzCon, but it took me one week to go and visit the doctor, since I first I thought it was a pain that was going to shoo away very quickly. Well, it is not, but I'm still on the recovery of it, today I have another appointment with the do...

Panda + Viola + Zander & Skylar + Suka WIP

Hello, my dear friends!!!

As you can see, this year I've been very productive, I guess compensating all I didn't during 2023 and 2024 (And sadly, I still have a lot in my queue, that it seems like neverending, especially on those promised rewards from Patreon that are even from 2022, I don't forget about them, I will work on them!)

So you are getting to see a bunch of artwork comparing of what I was sharing on the past two years, sadly there is only the half of you here on Patreon...

More Commissions + NFC Banner

I'm back home!! And yay I couldn't complete all the commissions I took to do during the trip!! No worries, I will be working on them now at home. All these pictures (with the exception of the banner) were worked during flights. My flight from Madrid to Los Angeles was very productive, I could finish 3 pieces, and in my wait for the next flight from Los Angeles to Guadalajara I could finish the 4th one. (And then, I slept during all that last flight, I couldn't even feel the flight at all)

Quick Commissions + NordicFuzzCon Artists Alley

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't shared too much during this month, despite I've been working a lot during my trip, I was not able to stop calmly to arrange the files of the drawings I've finished so far and share them here. Today I'm at a friend's place and while he's working I could take some moments to sit down for some hours and do this.

With the commissions I took to do during my trip, I could advance very quickly on them during the first days, but then NordicFuzzCon started, where I als...

Salmy

Hello, people from the future! Once again, Paco from the past writting to all of you. This is a post written immediately after posted the previous one, on February 5th.

I had worked on this acrylics painting on February 3rd. But I wanted to keep this as a surprise, especially since Salmy is also on this group.
More than a gift, it was a tricky move by him, I owed him money and he asked me that if I could do any drawing instead of paying him, that it could be whatever. So I took tha...

Emil

I haven't been able to read all your messages you sent me, but thank you for all your emotional support, I appreciate you all. I'm really trying to get out this incredibly nonsensical depression I've been dragging these months. Something which has helped me a really lot is to go to a professional therapist, if you ever feel like lost, confused or there are some emotions you want to direct to a better place, I definitely recommend you to attend to a professional therapist; at least I feel very...

Acco in Kigu

Hi my dear friends!

I really hope you all are doing okay, we're living in a very strange time where I can see many are crossing difficult times, a lot of anxieties and frustrations. There is a general aura in the world where we feel weird in a way or another. I'm not an exception, I'm crossing a very strange and nonsensical depression of which I'm incredibly tired, I want to go out from there, and I feel like many of my current health are due that nonstopping worrying and anxiety that d...

Shooting Star + Acco WIP

I'm just back from less than a week with my parents, and of course I couldn't work as much as I wanted there, there was always things I had to help with, and even my dad made fun of it "if your mom sees you sitting down in front of a device, for more that she knows you are working, she will feel you are doing nothing and she will find something else you can do". I love them, tho!

I'm trying to advance with most of works that were paid, because I have a plan to open for few commission s...

Selene Yote & Melee Bandit + Sheriff Stickers

At first glance, they seem like quiet times, anyone who knows me and have seen me in person may think that everything is alright and that I'm pretty good. But the truth is that are many things that are happening in my head that deprive my sleep. Among those are some financial troubles, as I had mentioned in the past post that every January is a mess with payments for starting the year, but this year it has been special, for more that I work, for more that I get some funds here and there, and ...

Daisuke Painting + WIPs

I'm trying to advance as much as possible with projects and drawings I was owing, this is the month I can advance as much as I can, in February times will become crazy once again, I will be some time out, but I'm planning to open for very simple commissions to be doing all along February, just to not be short on money. That I don't know what happens with modern times, everything is so expensive. Since when Mexico stopped being affordable? Or I don't know what I am doing wrong with my expenses...

Makkora + WIPs

It looks like I’ll be sharing more full pictures and WIPs in the coming days, more than usual. Even though I’m working very few hours a day (due this annoying pain threatening to come back, which is also why I haven’t been very active on Telegram (it hurts a bit to type) ), I’ve managed to keep making progress. I’m slowly catching up on things, including some pieces I’ve owed for more than two years on Patreon. I’m really sorry for being so slow with that! But yeah, it’s littl...

Frolic + WIPs

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

My best wishes for all of you, I really hope this 2025 turns in a very great year!

Let's introduce the year with a poster I was working during the trip, this poster is for the Frolic Party, it's the second time I make a poster for them. So many characters to do here that it took me around 14 hours to complete. I started to work on this one at the very beginning of the trip to China and was completed in one of our road trips through the provinces of Hunan and Guan...

2024 Summary of Art

2024 was a rollercoaster of a year, filled with ups and downs: crisis, moments of joy, depressions, unforgettable experiences, sleepless nights, new family members, new friendships, and new places explored.

Through it all, I’ve learned to treasure the good moments, they’re what matter most. Of course tough times teach us, helping us grow and evolve. For that, I’m grateful too.

As I do every year, I’ve selected my favorite pieces from each month to celebrate the journey. Th...

Christmas Present / MFF 2024 Commissions

I'm sorry for the lack of posts during all these weeks, and I think it was noticeable, it happened a big drop of supporters, it is definitely going to be a hard beginning of the year.

I'm currently in a family trip to China, so internet has been intermittent and sometimes difficult to get, but it has been good to me so I've been able to disconnect a really lot, it has been a very helpful time off (despite I'm still working on many illustrations here, that, once again, I can't share not ...

I Drew This During my Flight to MFF

I’m in Chicago!! I just landed and crossed customs!!

I drew one last piece for the Art Show, that I had submitted with anticipation as “I Drew This During my Flight to MFF”, so that pushed me to draw something during the flight. And I felt like drawing a kobold, because kobolds are such silly creatures.

If you get to be around MFF this weekend, don’t hesitate to stop by and say hi, I pretend to be in the Artists Alley on Friday and Saturday, and you can check out the Art ...

Zorrito + WIPs

I'm way much better than some days ago, I'm very sorry if I worried more than one here with my super duper emo previous post. I still have some few things to worry about, especially financially but my hopes is that this MFF it will go especially great.

Ah yeah... I will be at this MFF, I'm departing tomorrow!!
I've been rushing a really lot lately to finish so many things before this trip, because it won't be a short trip for me, after MFF I'm heading from there to a family trip and ...

Home-Made Paragliding / Raccoon and Blue Jay / Zander stickers WIPs

This has been such a strange year, it's kind of weird that almost one month to get over but at the same time I felt like it lasted especially more than other years, for me 2024 was kind of eternal. I don't know if this is my 30-something existential dread that finally is hitting, but I don't feel okay. Outside everyone could call I'm alright (I think), that I'm such a lucky person with friends and a sort of skill on drawing, but deep inside I've been having a sort of internal crisis that I do...

Badger Over Denny's Tablecloth + WIPs

I'm very sorry that I hadn't shared absolutely anything in the past weeks, first of all I need to show, once again, my gratitude to all of you for keeping the support here on Patreon, each time my financial situation is getting very strange. So far I'm living up to the day with my earnings, and every month is a big relieve knowing there is Patreon, I would say I depend big part on all of your support, and I feel terrible when I have nothing to share here in weeks (or that I haven't been able ...

Caught in the Act

Sorry if I had been so quiet for almost this entire month, now it is the Paco from the present speaking here.

I took all these weeks as vacations while I was hosting my friend in my house, it was such a great time, full with hiking moments, snakes, poisoned water, giant spiders, bumping carts... it was truly fun! Definitely a nice time off!

I was too worried about Confuror, I was wanting so badly that Confuror was over before it started, and in the end it went smoothly, nothing w...

BFC Commissions / Munchkinzilla / Антоша Ref / WIPs

Hi again, people from the future!
Here, Paco, scheduling this post again, since I know I'll be terribly busy in the upcoming days and I could find a little bit of time to prepare a post for Patreon.

I really hope Confuror went pretty well, I'm preparing this post just before Confuror happens, I'm very nervous and kind of anxious for that event, but I'm sure everything went alright in the end.

At least I know the trip on California went pretty good, and it was more relaxing th...

The Fursuit Games / Rudos vs Tecnicos

Hi, my dear friends!

Hope I'm still alive, if not, this is a letter from the Paco from the past.
I know I'm going to be excessively busy during the upcoming days, and I won't be able to take the time to prepare a proper Patreon post, but there are pictures that I did and I definitely want to share with all of you before I post them on my galleries, so it feels like the Patreon support is worthy, hehe. So I scheduled this post for the future. Hi, people from the future!

Indiana Skunk / Red Panda Reading / Pizza Raccoon / WIPs

First of all: Viva México!! (Today is Mexican Independence Day!)

10 days with no sharing new pictures and suddenly I got to share a really lot more!

I'm to a point that, for more that I was arranging my schedule and I was trying to be very well organized with my times and my working pace, suddenly a shine of inspiration got in, and I've been working on many pictures for myself instead of advancing commissions, Patreon rewards or other things. Well, indeed I finished another tele...

Art & Biro: To the Adventure / Trickster Tom / Strange WIP

It has been such a crazy time full of things to do and not giving myself a little break, usually this time of the year is the one that I get the busiest, and I'm to a point that I'm wanting to change that.

As same as I had to force myself to start the Art & Biro comic, no matter what, I should also force myself to stop having so many commitments, especially one that I've been doing for years. And I hope it marks a before and an after on my life, so I can go back to focus completely ...

The Arcade / Art & Biro sketch / Other WIPs

Hi, my dear friends! :D

First of all, I need to apologize for my lack of usage of Telegram these last weeks, it has been kind of hard for me to be in everything, I've been dividing completely my last days in so many activities and responsibilities I have, and in the end of the day I can't be checking Telegram, which I think it has been a problem especially for my local friends who need to contact Roni so I know they are wanting to send me a message.

In the mornings I've been work...

Caiman Age of Wireless / Vulcan Badge / Izzy and Kris Bunny Stickers / WIPs

Today I woke up with a wonderful new. I'm officially an uncle!!!

It's the first baby in my family, the first grandkid of my mom. I'm thinking what kind of uncle I want to be, one who inspires and brings color, and for sure he will be getting a lot of cute furry toys, and I will force my sister to show him Bluey XD

It's a shame they live so far away from us, but it's another good excuse to be traveling that way long.

Well, for now I share you all the things I've been working ...

Patreon and Ko-Fi Support

Hey everyone!
As many artists, my main income are not the projects, merch and commissions I work on, I’ve been able to survive as an independent artist due Patreon

I've been on Patreon for an incredible 8 years and 8 months, sharing hundreds (maybe thousands?) of full-resolution pictures, time-lapse videos of my painting and drawing process, WIPs, and sneak peeks before posting them on my galleries. The support there has meant the world to me, and it’s allowed me to focus...
