Fox ideas!
🕑 Added 2023-04-29 22:41:30 +0000 UTCFirst a few tidbits of news, the animation is finished and up! Check for it on FA, FN or e621 if you haven't seen it yet.
The painting is on it's way, I just wanna take a day or two off after that animation so it'll be a little late. Stay tuned!
Now, the reason I'm here- I need ideas for a fox-ish character. If you've read the description of my latest animation you might know what's up, if you haven't well that's on you. :P Still, any interesting fox species, or other canid-esque creatures, that aren't represented in my roster yet? I could just randomly search around myself, but this way I get a feel for what y'all might like to see andalsodonthavetodoasmuchwork. Gimme ideas!

What about something like an interdimensional fox, or canid creature that has magical abilities. Like levitation, change objects around her, spawn objects/creatures, maybe 'grow' things ;), hypnosis maybe?

I have found that the colors light blue and yellow goes well together or have the were it's one color most of the way then on the tail tip It has two more colors or fades to the lighter version of the color like on my OC
Ruaidri
Ha! That probably should have been the most obvious choice shouldn't it, since I'm literally making her from a bat! :P

It could be a fun one though

You could make an enfield; a Fox with the forelegs swapped for bird feet. Not a huge departure in firm, but sharp talons combined with an insane grip is an amusing contrast with how soft and fluffy they are elsewhere. Especially the kinds of soft delicate things you usually have your characters handle.
Or, to take it in a different direction, there are several dog breeds which would fit Mango's model while remaining visually distinct. Either a doberman or german shepherd would have a comparable head shape, pointed ears, and a distinctive fur pattern. And the breed associations as "tough" guard dog types could lend itself to a more tomboyish character, matching the base body's more athletic form (I think of Mango's running test animation).

bat eared foxes are cute! also, any mythical foxes like kitsune, who have multiple tails!
This may not be quite what you're looking for, but perhaps an albino fox/canid? White fur, ruby eyes - always love the way you animate your characters' eyes and the unique pink shade would be visually distinct. White fur would also contrast well with the brighter and more exotic colors of much of the main cast (and be a particularly sharp contrast to Mango, since they'd be sharing a similar body). Plus some colorful accessories or jewelry to "compensate". Or maybe she could be a bit of a neat freak because of the easily stained white fur? There'd be some room there for endearing character quirks that could be communicated easily without sound.

Tibetan fox. Definitely Tibetan fox.
Ruaidri
That's a very specific suggestion. :P

An Arctic werefox who starts out as a basic Arctic fox which becomes Beastly when it catches the scent of females in heat

Foxes can have a ton of unusual markings. Check out some of the real-life foxes on the SaveAFox YouTube channel (a fox rescue organization in Minnesota). https://www.youtube.com/@SaveAFox

Not a fox, but an African wild dog would be pretty amazing to see.
Gerald Sears
Ferret! Reject fox return to ferret!

Twin foxes boy and girl
Maybe a corsac fox?
Eddie SanHusky
Jackals are underrepresented all around
Flup Volta
A black backed jackal would be cool!
Ruaidri
To be fair she didn't get a ton of advertisement. I bet she could get some traction if I polished her up to my current standards and used her for some stuff.
knedit knedit
not really an IRL species look but anubian jackals are very cool and underused
Luís (Vellum)
Grey fox perhaps! They’re expert climbers, which might play into the character a bit, and they have a consistent, and recognizable pelage!
BreezyBreeze
Oooh, I like both the attached picture and the African Wild Dog idea as well
Rechan
People didn't even like the deer. :P
Rechan
So while I like arctic, black-phased silver and grey foxes, I think the nuances would look too close to your existing characters (Sy, etc). So how about something like this? https://www.furaffinity.net/view/42421297/ Or an African Wild Dog, yeah. Altho their pattern is a bit of a tall order. Edit: Oh! What if you did something a little wild. You know, like a tiger-striped fox. (Or maybe cloude leopard/snow leopard/jaguar).
Scotia
You've got a fennec and silver fox already... how about a marble fox? They're gorgeous!
Ruaidri
My roster is light on those for a reason unfortunately, they're just not my thing I'm afraid. Just personal preference. :P
Jace The Fox
Ohh, well I have found that the colors light blue and yellow goes well together or have the were it's one color most of the way then on the tail tip It has two more colors or fades to the lighter version of the color like on my OC
WannabeaFurry
I would love to have an andromorph (cuntboy) arctic fox. The character roster would benefit from some intersex characters.
Disjachi
Dingo or jackal?
Ruaidri
A pretty good one too! Definitely on my maybe list.
Garwaron
cute af
Gin
How about a spotted wild dog! That's another idea.
Ruaidri
Got two silver foxes already, so I certainly appreciate your desire for more silver foxes! But... I've got two silver foxes already, so probably don't need another just yet. :P
Kamikaz91
Maybe something exotic like a hyena or a wild dog.??
Ruaidri

Garwaron
Neat, i have to check it out
Gin
Well an artic fox would be fluffy and would hide those pretty curves. Maybe a petite silver fox to pair with Ash?
Ruaidri
I just made one of those! x3
Garwaron
Fennec 👀
Ruaidri
More looking for colour ideas on this one, the body is pretty much set. Maybe some day though! :P
Jace The Fox
Maybe a fox with two or more tails
Sentharn
More seriously I love the idea of an arctic fox like @BreezyBreeze said :3
