Comet Fox
🕑 Added 2022-07-24 22:09:58 +0000 UTCFox goma traveling through a liminal realm. The foxes also take a secondary form as a flame, which are in the background. Those are other foxes in the shape of flames traveling over these comets.
The 2 fish swimming about one another with crowns is a symbol I like to use from time to time. They essentially represent a sort of dynamism and movement, among other things.
The presence of them in this image is either as a sort of navigator through this realm, or as a manifestation of the fox's own thoughts emotions and additional inner spirits taking external form.
Now that I'm trying to explain things more in this context, I'm running up against the fact that I a lot of the symbols I employ in illustrations I leave open ended, I like for them to have many different meanings and abilities, I feel that gives them a sort of imaginative potency. I run into the similar issue with writing, where when I overexplain the purpose of something in an image, the magic and power of it vanishes, but when I cut that out and leave it to be itself all of a sudden regains it's power.
All that is me thinking aloud at the moment as I figure out how to talk about my own work, instead of my usual instinct to present it and then run away.
