Alex Ledante
Uncertain at this point if she is actually a fox spirit or just a girl with a kitsune mask, still working out the details on this piece but she’s got nice lighting, so it seems like a good idea to pursue it further…

Question of
should I keep working on this piece?

Question of
should I make her a fox spirit?
Very nice Alex, I would go for fox spirit, but you have to do what is best for the piece. Well done!!!
I did the foxtail hair last night, will most likely post it here tomorrow…
I will try and get to it, (I am traveling today so well, access is hit or miss).
it is up now, but it will wait for you until you’re ready for it…
She doesn’t look like my idea of fox spirit …
but of course my idea would be the “Chinese” style…
The kitsune are, of course, descended from the hu. But I’ve never seen a hu wear a mask, whereas kitsune wear them all the time and this is a Halloween piece…
The fox is one of the best ideas for a character since they are very clever rivals to the hero in a battle like Miraculous Ladybug battle versus Volpina at the end of season one of the cartoon that plays on the Family Channel.
foxes are tricksters in every mythology that I am aware of
That is true since Volpina almost made Wordgirl give up her superpowers which are her earrings.
Can’t trust anyone, but especially not a fox
That is true since Volpina reminds of Wordgirl kid villain Victoria Best.
Fingers are nice, Alex, but got to fix the palms on both hands. Yes, a fox spirt to be sure, and as such perhaps the hair could be reddish?
I was thinking about red hair with white tips, still might do it
Yes that would be foxy for a fox spirit.
I tried it out last night, it is quite nice
yep yep and it is so alluring as it develops..lol
How kind of you to say, thanks
She looks like she could have powers, I would go with fox spirit.
the kitsune option gives the most interesting options anyway
Well she is definitely a blonde fox.
Kitsune are supernatural characters so they are often portrayed with white hair. When I tweak the color balance it often ends up looking light blonde which isn’t what I had in mind
If it is too much of a problem I can always just go black
I admit I know nothing about Japanese culture, but in looking up the word (learned another new word from you) the definition said kitsune is another word for fox. A darker color would be good in my opinion.
