Description
Here is my second version of the FireFox design, this time in red fox colors. I'm crazy about this one. ^_^Since it's a fantasy fox, I used a little bright gold in there to accent the red fox fur.
For some reason, even though this is a highly stylized fox, to me it looks more truly "foxlike" than my smaller more realistic fox design. Perhaps because the extra fur & carving accentuates the tiny muzzle and sweet little domed forehead. Whenever I see one on my bike path, the red fox always amazes me with their dainty almost catlike appearance.
This mask is available right now on my Etsy site! [link]

I just love the black outlines around the eyes 
And btw, the FireFox was based off the Red Panda, just in case you wanted to know

Love these fantasy foxes! I think you're right, it somehow looks a little more realistic...I love the "normal" sleek-faced fox you make, but the fluffy cheeks are super foxy.

Thanks so much! I stuck with realistic colors except for the gold, & let the "fantasy" part be in the design & outline.

Now that's a colour scheme, everything works so well here, the white and black really adds another layer of depth to the mask....
Most excellent....

Except for the gold, I kept the colors almost realistic because I LOVE the natural color of red foxes.

Looks fantastic in fox colors. And I think you're right about it's "foxiness" I think it's in the nose...

Yes! The bigger mask face makes the muzzle look smaller & more pointy (even though it's the exact same muzzle shape I use in my simple fox mask).

Amazing design. I love the colors and flames. And the ears! The little curly tips are just too cute.

I really like the patch of white on the forehead. It's such beautiful work.

Thanks so much.
I had to do the white patch. It's totally fantasy but I just love the bright white against all that hot red & gold...

I think it really brings the design together rather than just having the muzzle and ears white. Plus it does look amazing against the other colors, striking.
