Image type and characters - Type B digital maw shot of a fox sitting in the mouth of a female macro fennec.

Why this image was chosen - Theo's gift artwork for Foshu really caught my attention when I first came across it because of the attractive character design of the predator as well as the warm colors. Although the prey isn't shown in a feet first position I have for the sake of the group imagined that he will shortly flop forward and surf the end of that long tongue before she eats him. The look on the prey's face is one of nervous contemplation where he's undecided whether to be really concerned or enjoy it as strands of saliva drip nearby. The mouth is well done, nicely shaped with a less is more approach to doing the detailing which is hinted at with the way the shading is done above a very nice looking throat entrance. The giant predator herself is quite attractive with a sporty athletic body and thick muscular thighs. The position of her tail says to me that she's flicking it back and forth in a manner that says "I'm toying with this little snack before he's eaten! " The face, the shape of the ears and the change in light and darkness with the background tones do well to compliment this picture without taking away from it.

You've done a pretty good piece with this winner Theo, good job!
