I love kitsune, and since a lot of people I know on here like to create kitsune a lot, I decided to make some free lineart for everybody on DA!

I did a five-tailed kitsune, ‘cause three tails is kinda my personal calling card lol, and five is one of the most common tail numbers in Japanese folklore.
And for anyone who doesn’t know the whole background of kitsune folklore, the ball it’s balancing on it’s nose is it’s hoshi no tama: “Depictions of kitsune or their possessed victims may feature round or onion-shaped white balls known as hoshi no tama (star balls). Tales describe these as glowing with kitsune-bi, or fox-fire. Some stories identify them as magical jewels or pearls. When not in human form or possessing a human, a kitsune keeps the ball in its mouth or carries it on its tail. One belief is that when a kitsune changes shape, its hoshi no tama holds a portion of its magical power. Another tradition is that the pearl represents the kitsune's soul; the kitsune will die if separated from it for long.”
This is free lineart, so use it to your heart’s content. Just remember:
1. You must give me credit for the lineart.
2.Please leave my name in the pic somewhere – move it if you like, but keep it in there
3.You can modify the lineart as needed

And, if it’s not too much trouble, comment with a link to the finished pic when you’re done – I wanna see it!
