Second image for my "Animae J-Style" series, featuring my characters as some "traditional" Japanese figures
 In this one we have our sweet Elyon as a Kitsune, the Fox Spirit ^___^ (as you can see the kokeshi doll was deleted from the list of characters )"Foxes are a common subject of Japanese folklore. Stories depict them as intelligent beings and as possessing magical abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. Foremost among these is the ability to assume human form. While some folktales speak of kitsune employing this ability to trick others — as foxes in folklore often do — others portray them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives." Obviously, when talking about Elyon, only the second part of the description applies I'm not quite satisfied with the tails >_> (fur is my enemy) but I still think this is way better than Messiràma's one  Hope you'll like it too  Other from the J-Style series: -The Geisha (Messiràma) Yet to come: -The kabuki actor -The taiko drummer -The ronin -The samurai Texture in background is from ~klimek [link] Flowers brushes are courtesy of Design Fruit Elyon from "Animae - The shadows Key" is (c) of Serena Verde |
