Fox - Blog Posts
Introducing Benji
He originally came fron a late night doodle that turned into a character. I've been meaning to expand on his actual design. I might still change somethings.
He is apart of a larger world that I'm trying to work on. When I have more characters fleshed out I'll explain more.
I started a new game in Pokemon Y and decided to sketch my Braixen for fun! He likes to study and dramatically examine flowers.
Finally finished coloring this wagon! Gosh that took a long time. I am pretty happy with the results so I'd say it was well worth it!
Decided to draw my vulpera character! Her name is Kyuuzu and she's a frost mage who rides a polar bear. She lives in Northrend cause she was like "SCREW LIVING IN A DESERT", and went to the polar opposite. Also here's a WIP for a big wagon piece I'm doing... Gonna color it tomorrow and have her sitting on it, cause I needed someone to be sitting there after all.
Say hi to Satsu the Fox (Left) and Slushi the Wolf (Right) 🦊🐺
Very mesmerizing fox and YCH for Neytir!
A preamble to the live reading of Hunter’s Moon/The Foxes of Firstdark by Garry Kilworth
As a work within what I’m going to be calling the mythic subgenre of naturalist animal xenofiction (as coined by YouTube user Cardinal West on his excellent video detailing the history of the genre), mythic NAX for short, one of the primary appeals of a book such as Hunter’s Moon/The Foxes of Firstdark should lie in how the author incorporates real biology and behavior of the animals he’s writing about onto the fictional human-like society he’s constructing.
Thus, before we dive into the live reading on the blog, I thought it’d be good for us all to be more aware of actual fox behavior so that we may better appreciate the bits of real animal behavior incorporated into the text and recognize the artistic liberties taken by the author. I’m writing a short distillation of my preliminary research done on the following four webpages:
https://www.nwf.org/educational-resources/wildlife-guide/mammals/red-fox
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/facts/red-fox
https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/mammals/understand-fox-behaviour/
https://www.wildlifeonline.me.uk/animals/article/red-fox-behaviour-the-social-hierarchy
Obviously, as a Warriors fan, I’m not too demanding about biological accuracy in my mythic NAX novels, but I still expect the authors to incorporate it in some way. The Erin Hunter team’s portrayal of a feral cat colony may not be completely accurate but it shows in places they are at least aware of the basics of how they operate.
I’m also not a biologist nor do I have any particular knowledge of foxes, so I’m doing all this preliminary research from scratch. Obviously, I’m not going to go super in depth or go into super academic sources. This is, afterall, being done for fun.
