Pirate Panda – Bandana Bandit

This design was inspired by the idea of mashing up two beloved and seemingly opposite concepts: the cute, cuddly panda and the daring, swashbuckling pirate. It started with a doodle during a brainstorming session, and the idea of a one-eyed panda with a bandana just stuck. The tattered look and mischievous grin suggest a panda who's swapped bamboo shoots for buried treasure, sailing the high seas in search of excitement and adventure. It's a fun twist that brings a touch of playful rebellion to the normally gentle panda image.
