Variation on Foxes_01

Scott Ruggels

Trying to get back into sketching and drawing, in a summer filled with nothing but 3D projects. I've always disliked "head fur" or Hair on anthros. The compromises often end up with hideous, Human Like, or "lightbulb headed" craniums with muzzles stuck on the front, and the ears placed inconsistently from image to image, or panel to panel. Sure, it's a stylistic choice, but so often it's an unattractive one. However it's also probably the most common one. so one morning at a coffee shop, I decided to poke at some friend's characters, all foxes, to see if i could make something work. The work around for me, was to have their "hair" grow in the similar manner to a horse's, where it was a line between the ears, and down, to the base of the skull. base of the neck, as in horses might work, but would need to be trimmed a lot for clothing. But any "styling" or combing would start from that premise, that in general it's combed to one side or the other. Not sure if it's satisfactory for me, but it seems to be a workable solution. (Parting it in the middle would recreate the awful 70's style, so, no I didn.. having lived through the 70's). Characters are property of their respective creators, and i will probably move this to Scraps in a few days. Pencil on paper 7-12-15
