"Any Requests?"
A watercolor illustration from the other night, I'm not very familiar with the medium but it was still fun to draw!
(Also I just want to note, the "do not repost" on most of my images is for reuploading my work directly to this site or other websites, so that doesn't mean no reblogs lol)

"if you put vulpes and boone in a room together they'd instantly try to kill each other-"
Wrong. If you put vulpes and boone in a room together they'd raise their weapons but pause, noticing the other's signature stupid ass fucking stilly hat, and share a knowing gaze as they both realize that despite the dogma theyve struggled, fought, and killed so many for, the enemy is just as human as himself, and in this case, is just like himself in a way. they would both process the consequences of this newfound truth together without speaking so much as a word, accompanying each other on this emotional journey like a psychopomp with a fearful, regretful soul to an unknown life beyond. The road was confusing and scary, the destination even more so, but there was company on the journey, and company was always enough. As the two finally came to realize the senselessness of their blind hatred, they begin to lower their guns and their heads in shame.
Then Vulpes would call Boone a slur and they would fight to the death. send post

thinking about mechta (dream) the first of the domesticated foxes to have floppy ears
“In 1969, the 10th generation of foxes was born, and among them was a pup that she named Mechta, the Russian word for dream. In wild foxes, a pup’s ears are floppy until it is about two weeks old, at which point its ears take on the ramrod-straight look we tend to picture when we think of foxes. When Mechta was three weeks old, her ears had not yet straightened. They still hadn’t at four weeks, nor at five. Mechta looked exactly like a dog pup.”

Sleeping With Dandelions, Red fox (Vulpes vulpes), London, England
‘After spending a lot of time with this particular vixen, she began to learn I was not a threat. This gave me some great photographic opportunities. I got to know her routine, and as the wildflowers began to grow, I would find her curled up amongst them. As the dandelions began to open, there were a couple of days when she would wake up covered in them.’

I used to wonder why foxes - red foxes in anime are most often depicted as white or blond and sometimes light brown whereas in western literature are often depicted with rich rusty red or bright orange fur. Orange foxes do exist in anime, but not as common as white and flaxen-furred foxes. I knew not to let the species term fool me as I was aware of the existence of albino, leucistic, and melanistic(silver and black) foxes a long time ago as well as the color mutations of domesticated red foxes. However, I also knew that red foxes can vary in color in the wild as well in various parts of the Earth. I can understand why most kitsune are drawn with gold to white fur. I have seen photos of foxes in Japan and a lot of them are pale or brown. The foxes at the famous Zao Fox Village are probably not native to Japan. A lot of them look like they were rescued from fur farms where they were bred with color variants(including marble, silver, and pearl). The rest of them look like red foxes from North America as shown here:
However, there is the subspecies in Hokkaido known as the Ezo fox that does not look much different:
Otherwise, most foxes in Japan seem to look like this:
They appear to have a top coat that can shed in the Summer which is sort of similar to their arctic cousins. Many of the red foxes with the more classical red coat with prominent markings with the black feet and white-tipped tail are most common in Europe and North America.
However, they don't all look the same in these regions. I have seen photos of red foxes in Wyoming and Alaska where many of them can have pale fur that tends to be long. There are even red foxes with light-colored fur in the eastern U.S. I have seen one before here in Tennessee.

I love your fox oc. He has a delightful smile and it is very fox-like and suits him well.
Thank you so much, and it makes me happy that you think so! Foxes are such charismatic and mischevious lil' things with all those smiley expressions that they make, so I really try to apply it as much as I can to my character.
