Started a new project where I sketch headshots for a bunch of different species to help study animal physiology and facial shapes / features! Foxes are first, specifically vulpes!

"The NCR dogs will die- and those who do not... Well, their comrades will have to put them down. One. By. One."
Fun fact: I am obligated to draw at least two Vulpes pieces a year or the problematic fave fairy will take away all my art skills.

The artic fox!
Fun facts about this fox..
• There are 8 recognised subspecies of the Arctic fox! Mainland Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus lagopusc, Iceland Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus fuliginosus, Greenland Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus groenlandicus, Spitsbergen Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus spitzbergenensis, Hall Island Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus hallensis, Bering Island/Sea Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus beringensis, Pribilof Islands Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus pribilofensis, and Ungava Bay (Fort Chimo) Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus ungava
• Their fur colour changes depending on the season! Different seasons can mean different climatic conditions and opportunities for the Arctic fox. So its fur colour can change between seasons for thermal insulation as well as to help blend with its immediate surroundings. in the winter, their fur morphs into the iconic, thick white coating. But as summer arrives, snow melts, and Arctic foxes start to shed their long white coat to a shorter, thinner fur, which can come in a variety of colours, from dark and light grey, charcoal brown to bluish brown coating.
• They can also snow-dive to catch their prey!! An Arctic fox usually has different tricks up its sleeve when hunting. Lemmings are its favourite prey, but they live in a complex network of tunnel systems buried deep within the snow, protecting them from predators on the ground. So, Arctic foxes carefully listen for lemmings moving or burrowing underneath the snow to pinpoint their location by tilting their heads. Once the prey is located, an Arctic fox can jump several feet in the air and nose dive into the snow to catch its prey. Sometimes, it takes more than a few tries, but it’s the effort that counts.
The artic fox belongs to the Vulpes family which is a sub-clade of the Caninae. The members of this genus are colloquially referred to as true foxes, meaning they form a proper clade!
Thank you for visiting our zoo 🐾

Since I am hyperfocused on the comic I don't have the energy to work on full illustrations and I feel anxious about it but I can still deliver doodles. Here's a Legion headcanon: As slaves wear rags with an X, Soldiers, specially the ones with tribal background, are physically branded with the same mark on their skin. This could happen in a sort of a very important rite of passage into the military or something more akin to a purely sadistic humiliation ritual. Either way it stays as a scar that reminds them who they belong to and that they are still subjugated slaves even if they manage to get promoted into very high ranks.
That's my excuse to draw topless Vulpes.
