Christmas is not Christmas, if it were not for the awkward conversations with relatives.

its easy to say that you'd say that, but in reality its much more difficult. tried even having a discussion with parents about the topic and it turned into a 3 hour explanation of what "furry" even was which ended with no one making any ground. sometimes it's just easier to lie/give half truths
Aww, well atleast you draw cute innocent animal art. That's got to be easier to talk about or try to construe than if you were doing porn and all lol. Could only imagine trying to see how a conversation like that would then go. Your art is adorable, you should have no shame in it, inside the furry community or out! :)
Well, nothing TOO MUCH to be ashamed about. I was thinking while reading this, how much worse it would be if he was a smut artist.
Though I wonder if it would be more or less awkward to try to describe "I mostly draw young anthropomorphic animals, usually in appearance around 10 years or so, in adorable situations that hearken back to the wistful, carefree days of childhood, particularly the insecurities young children often feel when something concerns them and the serenity young children feel when they find friends that really connect with them" as opposed to a simple "Oh, what do I draw? Dog-people fucking."

Personally, Pandapaco symbolises a true "cartoon", and I think would be described as cutesy, or he could relate them to Care Bears or whatever.
If he were a porn artist, he wouldn't have to disclose the smut he makes, he could just show the clean bits.
Unless he wants to make a point of how much people are prepared to pay for a cartoon penis on a werewolf. >.>

"I create custom fantasy art" World of Warcraft and Dungeons & Dragons are practically household names these days.. and Pandaren and Worgen are pretty much furries. Zootopia also made things a little more normal, so that's a good example.
Totally know the feeling though, the worst is "Oh, can I see some of your work?" No... no.. not.. really.. *hide* Gotta keep that stash of "normal" stuff ready to go!

This was sort of how I imagined explaining furry and Brony conventions would be like before visiting them.
Then I remember when I actually started going to them, this pattern emerged over and over again in polite conversation.
1. I would mention the trip
2. I would give a brief description
3. The non-furry or Brony would give polite interest for about a minute, before immediately changing the topic to something else.
I find now it's less an issue of something to be embarrassed about and more of something others cannot relate to. The closest equivalent I can think of off the top of my head is if my friend Chris mentions a game I haven't played, like Mass Effect or Assassin's Creed. Even if I might have some interest in the topic, since I haven't actually played the game, those topics tend to be dead ends. Similarly, talking to someone who has never been to an interest-based convention, doesn't share your interest, or even worse, doesn't even know that people with your interest even exist tend to be even more dead ends.
On the other hand, when I go to movies with my friend Justin, we have made it a habit to go out to dinner right afterwards, and can usually talk about the movie for hours, since we just shared the experience. :-D

A veces, los parientes no entienden nuestra pasión, nuestro interés, y siempre tienen prejuicios que sin darse cuenta, nos lastiman.. y también lo digo por experiencia propia.. los familiares más cercanos critican lo que hacemos, y cuando ya nos formamos un nombre, un prestigio.. la cosa cambia.. pero lo importante es nunca perder esa pasión que nos incita a seguir adelante, Paco..y por cierto, aunque ya lo han dicho algunas veces, te ves muy tierno cuando te sonrojas... creo que forma parte de ti, verdad?....
Afortunadamente no me pasa, ninguno de mis familiares tienen algun prejuicio con lo que hago, y hasta se interesan en mi profesión, pero he ahí que luego preguntan muchas cosas y uno se pone incómodo de cómo explicarlas sin que suene algo tan raro y que ellos puedan digerir con facilidad, jeje.
Qué bueno que tus familiares te apoyen y que se interesen... y es verdad, luego empiezan a preguntar y preguntar y ahí es cuando uno se sonroja y no sabe qué más decir... y mas que todo, que lo puedan entender, es verdad.. pero la paciencia es la virtud que hay que desarrollar para poder hacerles comprender tu pasión y lo que adoras hacer... es cuestión de paciencia, Paco.....
