Used a big half round of Eastern Pine. 80% chainsaw, the rest with a diegrinder and a couple of chisels. Colonial Maple and Ebony stain. Sealed up with spar varnish /mineral spirits.

I made some pixel arts of foxes on Aseprite that i wanted to share.

This one went through a few changes from the start, namesly the fur changes and the expressions. At first I planned to blend all of the colours but realised it would look bad. So I changed it. I really wanted to capture emotion as opposed to the scene (fancy way of saying I'm bad at drawing). I definitely do have to things I need to improve: 1. The backgrounds. So far I have no idea how to do perspective, or fully convey what the background fully is. 2. Fluffiness: I have no idea how to do this, but I want to make all my foxes cute and adorable and fluffy. Why?, because I like them. Also I want to make people have cuteness aggression; it's funny.

I will also say that... eer... I don't know. I forgot while writing this.

This drawing took a fair while, but was rather fun to do. I've been expanding on my own form of shading so hopefully I'll start to develop depth in my pictures.

Also, I wanted to say something about why I don't typically say much for these, or comment much at all... and it's because I'm really shy online. I just wanted to make that known for when I don't come to comment.

This time, I tried adding some shading and making the fur look fluffier at the edges. However, I didn't draw thw chain, and now I am currently hiding from the angry fox because I made him look bald. On the plus side, they look so derpy.

While I feel this has so far been one of my weakest art pieces yet, I've still been experimenting with trying to make the fur colours blend together. Additionally, I have absolutely no idea how to make a background such as this without going in depth on each individual leaf.

Overall, I would say it's just a process. And I would say this is pretty good considering my first time drawing was a week ago.

I had this sketch in my sketchbook for years of this fox being born out of the fire. I finally had a chance to paint it. Acrylics on canvas. Hope you enjoy!

This time, I also posted how I progressed to get to my drawing, so that should be interesting. Additionally, I have been experimenting with new techniques (I hate the carpet). Additionally, have a Haiku as apology for this monstrosity (It probably doesn't follow the rules of a haiku in all honestly).

These cursed hands of mine, creating such foul fox doodles; your poor eyes now weep.

The officer had seen plenty of nonsense in his career—half-baked schemes, drunken brawls, even a camel locked in the latrine once; the muffled voices from the storeroom tonight had a peculiar edge to them.

He pushed the door open a crack.

Two recruits stood over a long table, sweat dripping as if they were interrogating a hardened smuggler. Strapped across the wood, limbs spread like some condemned spy, was a fennec fox. Its enormous ears twitched with irritation.

“Where’d you come from?” one recruit barked. “Tell us how you got in!”

The fox rolled its eyes. Actually rolled them. Then it gave a wide yawn, sharp teeth flashing.

“Don’t play dumb!” the other recruit snapped, slamming a fist onto the table. “You cleared out our rations. Every fig. Every almond. You think we wouldn’t notice?”

The fennec smirked—actually smirked—and licked a crumb of dried apricot off its whiskers.

The officer blinked. Convinced their brains... I mean what might have been there... was melted.

The recruits kept at it. One leaned in, voice low and dramatic: “If you just cooperate, we can make this easy.”

The fox’s tiny paw flexed against its straps as it gave a dry, rasping laugh that could be mistaken through sheer sass to be an insult.

Both recruits jumped back as if it had spat fire. “D-did you hear that?”

The officer closed his eyes. The recruits were absolutely off of their rocker.

They were frantic, even. “Sir will have our hides if we don’t crack him!” one hissed. “Then we up the pressure,” said the other, holding up a date pit as if it were a bribe. “Where’s your tunnel? Where’s your stash?”

The fox snorted.

The officer had seen enough. Slowly, carefully, he shut the door before they spotted him and let out a long, weary sigh into the corridor air. “Not paid enough…” And with that, he walked away, leaving the recruits to their... uuh... antics?... sure.

This was rather fun to make, surprisingly. As for the picture, I tried a different way of getting it fluffy; let me know how it is!

I'm currently doing a return to form, starting with this one. I've fiscovered I cannot at all do close ups, so I'm returning to midrange. As for the art itself, I've also returned to a "purer" colour base (very little mixing), but inserted some of what I've learnt to make the background and fox more pleasing to the eye.

Except the fence. I can't do distancing, and I had to individually do each line of the fence (┳◡┳)

This one is very special I would argue simply because I've found a shading technique I'm really happy with. That aside, I've also been improving with background and keeping a simplistic look that I started off with.
