With the arrival of my Furaffinity account's 9th anniversary, September 19th marks what I consider to be my fursona's "birthday" (even though that isn't the day I came up with him, but is the day I joined the site) and my 9th year of joy made only possible by having joined the furry fandom.

With that being said, I felt it would be nice to draw some toony art of my precious canine trash panda, celebrating Talon himself, and many awesome things that had a hand in inspiring his many designs over the years.

Personally as the late-90s baby who was just barely there for "so random" humor and late scenecore web culture, Talon's radical skater energy and sassy attitude is my love letter to every piece of nerd culture that made me who I am today, just as his fictional stories of my own are a tribute to my life's most joyful fantasies. And even today, as my love for art, music, and nerdy adult life continues to make me the person I am, Talon still continues to grow with me as a fursona.

Happy 9th anniversary of Talon, and thank you to the furry fandom for 9 years of making my world a better place. Next year its gonna be 10, and the thought of that is kinda crazy. But crazy is how I love it, and I wouldn't have it any other way. <3

I was going to end this description with an answers sheet to all the nerdy references, but its way too much and I'm a very sleepy boi today. Have fun figuring out what the heck things even are. Try not to let your brain melt from all the awesome.
