Wonderful colours and patterns on the clothing! I love how even though she's an anthro you've chosen not to give her human fingers, it's an unusual choice and yet makes her seem more fox-like and dangerous.

Thanks! I wanted her to be more fox than maiden, and make her seem like more of a monster than an anthropomorphic fox. Although I sure do love anthropomorphizing critters...

From what I've heard of the legends, these fox spirits were definetly monsters in that they weren't to be trusted and needed to be apeased, so that fits well. Btw forgot to ask, is there a significance to the ear of wheat she's holding?

Oh yeah. Foxes were considered servants of Inari, the god of the harvest. Though despite being rather daunting in her foxishness, this one is celebrating harvest and bounty more than simply messing with people, as most foxes are want to do

Now I see why you drew that fox with a wheat sheaf on the board at class. . . you had foxes on the brain. The designs on the kimono, the colors and the flames are awesome.
