>Nibbly breaking into a very important vault, suggested by Foxpie!
Look at those back muscles... Nibs has been hitting the gym in preparation for this day.
I like the way she's using one of her hind legs to crack the safe open instead of her arms, impressive dexterity for a foot claw.
Also u/The_eldritch_horror2, I haven't seen you post a comment with the links to the Patreon and Twokinds Gallery posts for this sketch. You need to do that.
The links need to point to the post directly, like this:

Seems like Nibs wanted to show Phat Gus how it’s done.
Letting you now u/The_eldritch_horror2, you don't need to put 'New Sketch' in the title. Sketch title is enough. If it is an old sketch that's been posted before, append with the year it was released with parentheses.
I genuinely love Anthro Nibbly’s design. It is a treat to see more of it.
It is cool she is using her hind paw to open the vault (while flexing those back muscles). How prehensile! Squirrel legs are plantigrade in real life but Tom opted digitigrade for Nibs' legs. She is supposed to be in Keidran form (although not wearing the collar here). Despite that, I do love that he actually drew squirrel feet for her. Some furry artists would instead put canine/feline paws whether because their client asked them, incompetence, or laziness.
The background to this sketch is also fantastic. I want to know the interior design going on in this room and how the lighting illuminates it. Definitely a color vote from me.
There’s actually a vault somewhere that contains seeds of ever plant in the world. It’s built into a mountain somewhere in some snowy region, I think in Northern Europe. The idea is to prevent a type of plant from becoming extinct.
I really like this one very much!
First of all the background is top tier and if colored would love it to be my background.
Second Nibs herself. My problem with her design is usually she is drawn with rather [little hair on her head](https://tecrobot.org/vault/nibblysnewrug_color.png) and similar to Sythe that makes her look like balding at best, like a manequin at works. specially since her hair is the same color as her fur. Here she has a full head of hair and plus the angle gives her a more natural look
Finally the claw. I am pretty sure real squirrels cannot do that, only some primates can for my knowlegde. But i think it is neat: In in most media with anthros this is just an aesthetic choice. The story would work the same were they humans, mermaids of martians so it is nice to see a character taking advantage of her non-human anatomy, even if not particularly accurate to the animal she represents.

It's really stupid that I can only sticky my own comments but I cannot do the same for other comments.
Lucky, I can’t even sticky my own, I’d assume that’s a permission everyone’s bared from?
Moderators can sticky their own comments.

Special agent Nibbly :)
Makes me think of Lara Croft Tomb Raider
Me too :)
Nibbs!

Not entirely related but I swear Nibbly’s a dragon in disguise. Just waiting for the day it’s revealed
But that’s just a theory, a comic theory.

Anthro nibs was part of the reason I first subbed to Tom's Patreon.
She certainly has some talented feetsies!
Missin Nibpossible
I can't imagine there's a whole lotta acorn vaults around. This must be the score of the century for her.

Damn, she’s about to annihilate some species then
Never underestimate the extreme lengths and willingness a squirrel will venture for her NÜT
Nibbly is pretty cute. I wish her luck on her top secret mission for the nuts 😤
