Reference sheet for my new Zoroark character Dashka.

Zoroark is easily one of my very favorite Pokemon but for some reason I never made an actual character out of one. I really like how both it and Ninetales designs draw from the powerful lore of how foxes are revered in many legends. Zoroark's face is supposed to mimic the fox masks of Japanese design and it's illusionary powers come from foxes' supposed ability to transform into humans and other things in order to play pranks on people or screw with royalty. So for Dashka's markings I wanted to give him some different yet still simple face paint based off of a few masks I really liked; also where his set of eyebrows came from.

*Also I realize now that he is colored similar to a Hoopa but I swear that wasn't intentional at all. it's just a happy accident :)
