In japanese folklore, the fox is a mythical creature. As it grows, it's tail splits from the top, giving the fox up to nine separate tails. A ninetailed fox, or 'kyûbi', is a slightly wicked, and highly vengeful being. Not someone you want to get on the wrong side with.

Dude ur awesome at drawing animals!
I love kitsune! I dunno if u'd consider them animals or not but i love 'em!!!!

:-) Emma JC Nilsson replies: "Thanks. =) Well, the kitsune (fox) sure is an animal, but in japanese folklore, they are also spiritual beings, almost like ghosts. So I guess they are on the borderline between animals and spirits."

Cool! I love the head, it's so realistic, and I like the way the rest of the body isn't. The tails need a little work, and I think the quality would be improved a little if you found away around that dark outline on the body and tails, it sort of clashes with the lack of inner detail (which I like)

:-) Emma JC Nilsson replies: "You're right about the tails, they didn't turn out as good as the rest of the body. You have an interesting point, I didn't think of that. I guess I'm too used to drawing manga and make clear outer lines. Thanks."

'Kyûkon kitsune', what does that mean? I hope it's not japanese for the Swedish word 'niosvansad skabbräv'.(intern joke sorry...)

It's very cute. I really like the way you've made the face. It looks so curious. Well done!

:-) Emma JC Nilsson replies: "Close enough, Rick. =) Anyway, it's actually not supposed to be "kyûkon" but "kyûbi". Realized it too late, I'm changing it with the next ticket."

niosvansad skabbräv? hahahahaha
haaah, jaaa det var roligt, *grins*
ja jag vet, jag är lättroad,
men det var faktiskt roligt 2
Vad ni håller på...
Det har väl ingenting att göra med skabbräven vi såg en gång i Täby kyrkby va...?

:-) Emma JC Nilsson replies: "*pokes Fläder-korv* English, my friend, english. You for one should know. What are you doing home, btw? I thought you had a "tenta" today? -_-"

I love the expression, but I think its paws are just slightly awkward. And its rump looks a wee bit too small.

:-) Emma JC Nilsson replies: "Never was good with paws/feet/hands... Though, personally, I'm satesfied with them, except the right front-paw. Could have put down more work on them, I admit. Thanks for commenting!"

:-) Emma JC Nilsson replies: "Feet/paws are hard... I've always had trouble with them. I'll practice more!"

woah, major split-ends!

Like the idea, not too familiar with non-American folk-lore. (we don't seem to have too much to offer)

:-) Emma JC Nilsson replies: "I'm not american, so I wouldn't know... ^^,"

:-) Emma JC Nilsson replies: "Thanks! You're probably right... I don't trust him either."
