Description As untrustworthy a fellow as anyone might hope not to meet.

A fun painting that I got a bit carried away with, or rather, I was interested in it until it was done Which is terribly rare. This just started as a bizarre sketch idea that I thought I might give a whirl at painting, after browsing through the tutorials Balaa was so good as to compile in her journal [link] . I was inspired to give fur another try. I"m not oft to try genuine painting in a digital medium because I just don't seem to have the patience or inclination.

All Photoshop 7
I took uh.... maybe five or six hours.

Oh yeh. And a fun little fact... I learned this back in art history. The technical name for those little jingly bells is a 'crotal' :3 yep. They are crotals.

Also, is it strange that I look at him and think of the Joker and the Riddler being merged into one and given fur?

I think it'd be awsome if you did Raven and Coyote counterparts to it, try and portray all the trickster spirits. ^. .^
Love it!

This reminds me of a Brian Jacques book, you know, part the Redwall series, where a fox with a jacked up face dresses up like a jester. I don't remember what book it is, or even why he did it. But that's what first popped into my head. Good drawing, really like it.

I love this piece so much! That is one mischievous trickster-foxie. XD

First saw the pic as someone's forum avatar, and I couldn't help but smile every time it appeared. ^^ So glad to finally see who did it... and see the big version!

(also among those who didn't realize those eyebrow markings were question marks until it was pointed out, hehe)
