Red Foxes - Blog Posts
The world is too loud, but we have a little den we can run to and spend time our fox plush and bug friends
(Experimenting with a more painterly look/limiting inking, yay!!!!)
Computers are fun, you can look at pictures of critters that live inside them!!
(Graphic for my Neocities website link page, decided to update it with my sona’s current design weeee!!!)
Concept sketches for the main character from my fox comic idea. She doesn't have a name yet but her design is based on my leucistic fox pelt as well as other leucistic UK foxes
When you hear about something that sounds like xenofiction/has critter characters but then you look into it and they're at most just humans with extremely minimal allusions in their designs to being bugs/foxes/cephalopods
(This isn't about anything in particular btw, I just love xenofiction and have previously been disappointed when hearing about media involving non-human characters, which I've then looked into and are disappointed to find said non-human characters still act like humans and never or very sporadically appear in a critter form smh)
Oh wow, I’ve actually not heard/seen many recordings of red foxes making these kinds of growl-like vocalisations they are capable of before. Really fascinating footage!
A new (and sadly mangy) fox turned up last night and The Unit was not happy. Managed to capture one of the few vocalisations I've never got on camera before: a growl!
Red foxes don't really growl in the way dogs and wolves do, but an unhappy fox will occasionally make a guttural rumbling sound that's basically the fox equivalent of a growl. It's one of the rarer fox vocalisations to hear so pretty happy to have got it on camera!
This is also quite an interesting piece of footage as the other fox is female and it's pretty uncommon for male foxes to show aggression/hostility towards females. I wonder if it's because she has mange as I have noticed foxes can be more hostile towards mangy ones to try and drive them away.
A new bio/reference sheet for my sona, Pepper! :3
Sometimes, you just have to paint a silver white mark fox! What is she looking at? I don't know, you can decided that if you want to
An alternate form for my sona, Pepper, as a platinum gold morph (bug)fox?? Yay!!
Today was horrible for me, but drawing foxies always helps
But then you’re sometimes a platinum gold morph red fox, if that is something
I went fossil hunting recently, where I found some ammonites! :3
(Guest appearance from Fen, the little fennec fox plush sitting in my sona's bag. They're one of my very favourite plush foxies :3)
I've seen photos of cherry red morphs before, but I was not aware of the name they are typically referred to by until now. This is really fascinating!!
Species: Red Fox (Vuples Vulpes)
Color Morph: Cherry Red (AABB)
Possible in nature: Yes
Cherry Red is just a variation of the natural red fox color. The easiest way to identify a cherry red fox is the deep red color and the lack of white fur in the inner ear.
