Digital drawing for the second page of references for Foxfire, an anthro fox. He's a 30s male red fox toon character. This page is dedicated to writing the character, and starts with a full body of him happy and holding a pencil. Silly, simple, spontaneous, wants to tell jokes, no deep backstory, not a jerk. Another image shows a typewriter with Foxfire printed within the margins, which mentions he has linguistic and spatial smarts; they are important for writing him. Another full body image of him wearing a polo and shorts stands by a whiteboard with a large mathematical descriptor written. It talks about how he's not a genius and shouldn't be written that way. A fourth image of him laughing while pressing his paws together in a lab coat and standing next to an "orphan-inator" mentions his moral compass. Basically he's a goodie two-shoes and shouldn't be written like an evil person. A fifth section has two drawing of Foxfire, which showcase he likes dressing up, despite not wearing clothes by default. The first is him rummaging for clothes in a closet, and a second is him inside of a salmon suit costume, with only a little of his face sticking out of the hole at the head. A sixth section shows a flirty faced Foxfire with lowered eyelids, detailing that flirting is fun to him towards anyone that can obviously consent and wants to. To the right is a illustration of him talking to a cute demonic cloud creature with three eyes and horns, asking them what they're doing later. A sixth section talks about the Toon Force, and how Foxfire can use it. He's peeking through a wall (the text box) and popping out of the other side despite that being impossible. He looks at Kate, an tired anthro cat in pajamas, and tells her he's having a long day. She is a bit bewildered, and pointing at him. A SEVENTH section mentions that Foxfire can be captured (until it'd be funny to escape), and has him behind bars. The top of the cage has turned to a text box which says "just me, my cell, and I today huh?" An EIGHTH section has a three panel comic with an evil snake pointing a laser at Foxfire. Foxfire pulls a rope while saying the snake's monologue struck a chord. The next panel is destroyed and has a broken piano on top of the snake, where Foxfire says "I didn't say it was a good one." The final panel is the guy getting back up, furious, with more lasers pointed at him, while Foxfire breaks the 4th wall and says "I should probably go now." The text for it is about his powers not actually being able to hurt anyone badly, and the cycle of setup, punchline, revenge, and how it can be changed as desired. A NINTH section shows a Foxfire shaped cracked hole with the word "ow" in the middle, saying that strong attacks turn into Toon Force defense. A TENTH section shows Foxfire very dizzy and seeing stars, saying "wow, that was a lot to cover!" The ELEVENTH and final section shows Foxfire with several model rules broken, making a peace sign and sticking his tongue out. He says "now that you know the rules, you can break them for fun instead of by accident!"

Digital drawing for the first page of references for Foxfire, an anthro fox. He’s a 30s male red fox toon character. The first set of images are three full bodies: full frontal with arms and legs spread out, full back in the same pose, but with no tail, and a full profile in a different pose, which extends the arms in front and behind him. The next section is six drawn heads with different emotions (happy, confused, sad, shocked, flirty, and anger, with a note that Foxfire never reacts with anger or malice). Below that is a section on height, with three heads stacked on top of each other like a totem pole (happy, determined, a more relaxed flirty) compared to a full body 3/4 of Foxfire next to a human silhouette. Foxfire is just under 5’ at the head, and is three heads tall, with each section being about equal size. He’s also measuring his tail, which is the size of his body. Next to that is him laying down and showing his toe beans, which have three pink toes. The last section is shortcuts, which has an image of Foxfire shocked and tearing up a little as an electric razor shaves his bit of hair off, showing the pink skin below. There’s multiple sections of don’ts, which show off-model examples of his head, hand paws, legs, and hair direction relative to his muzzle. There’s also an image of Foxfire sticking out from behind a bell, saying that he has a slight bell shape to his head, and that he likes to show off his tail. The last image is his arm holding a box which states lines for his paws and tail aren’t exact, and a couple of lines are fine.

I’ve been chipping away at this every day for the last 2.5 weeks or so, and now I’m finally satisfied with the guide I’ve sketched out for my sona. I wanted to make something like this for a while, but never felt compelled until joining Art Fight this month.

I also want to make one of these for one other character I’m attached to (Kate, the cat on the second page), but I genuinely don’t think I’ll have the time before July 1st. Either way, I am genuinely surprised and quite proud of drawing all of this out!

For those involved in Art Fight this year, I’m on Team Comedy. I have no idea who I’m attacking, so please feel free to leave a shout if you want me to check out your characters: https://artfight.net/~Foxfire-
