**This is my old, original profile from high school/early college. My new profile is  dirktheredpanda.**
(Fun fact: This was my first "furry" related account I made, and what propelled me to continue exploring the fandom!)

I'm a low-key novice who occasionally draws and writes. I'm a red panda. And yes, I know who "Dirk" is.

Basically, I am your volleyball-loving  socalfurs who loves seeing new places.

What's my definition of a furry? One who really enjoys the concept of representing oneself as an anthropomorphic animal and/or depicting anthropomorphic animals.

Personally, I think being a furry is simply being you but with an animal second skin. I like to imagine myself as a red panda in the same way many people like to imagine themselves as wizards or other mythical creatures. It would be really cool to be one, but at the end of the day, I'm just me. I think it's cool to cosplay and stuff (even if it's a character I don't know); it's the closest to actually being the thing you're portraying.

Art (drawing / sketching) is the main thing I do here. My art is pretty much a side hobby just for fun.

Feel free to comment and critique on my work! I'm open to improvement. It just might take me some time to learn.
