MY thinking: The Kitsune is after all a fox. It can shape-shift, but I decided to show it in its native form. I liked the idea that kitsune are "noted for having as many as nine tails", and that supposedly one would get more tales as it grew older and more powerful, so I went with the nine tails. I liked the simplicity of my first sketch (bottom left), and was sick of working digital, so I jumped right to a drawing in colored pencil on brown paper. I apologize, I forgot to scan the initial outline drawing before I added the color.

I think this is about as much work as I'll be able to put into this one...

A fierce samurai warrior, after becoming the only survivor of a terrible battle, wanders confusedly through the enchanted forest. There he comes across a big white fox. The kitsune promises him a supernatural descendant. The samurai questions the creature’s reputation and intentions. No tricks, the kitsune claims.

But their child it’s no human being at all, but is born as a powerful kitsune. It comes as a big surprise for the White Fox. Then, the samurai warrior reveals himself to be a kitsune in disguise.

And so, the White Fox was tricked by another of his kind, giving birth to a pure blood kitsune, which is forbidden by the laws of Inari.

Reference from the lovely http://reiko-stocks.deviantart.com/a...ce-02-39285371. Looking at this again, I could have pushed my darker values more, and sharpened up shapes, but I'm happy I got this far.

No reference used for this. However I would go back and change my coloring. I was trying a new approach to coloring in PS.

New Metal Gear Character: Shiroi Kitsune (White Fox)

BACKSTORY:
Frank Jaegar (Gray Fox), the reknowned cyborg ninja, never returned home. Several years later his Daughter has been contacted by an anonymous informant, claiming to be a member of the covert ops group "Foxhound" of which her father was a ranking officer. This man has told her that her father is still alive but is being held against his will in a medical research facility in the heart of Alaska. The girl is no stranger to stealth, combat or even murder; her father taught her how to survive from a young age. However, she has an ability which even Jaeger himself could not have hoped for. This was a gift from her mother - a Kitsune. A shapeshifter.
