Well done a really good piece!
Though still there can be a lot that could be applied, though things to note:
-The gesture for some is still a little wooden to go with the expressions,
- more tonal work on pushing the message for the eyes to focus on the emotions of the queen receiving the dreaded news would have been beneficial as I think that is the focal point of this story. Maybe if the vixen had her right hand towards her mouth might push her body language out if the news was dreaded given the king is dead.

very pretty work, and considering the one happy like on the side, There seems to be a Hooded figure in the background, and a red and white seems to be discussing something.... hmm... And there is one Fox up on the top there, Seems to have a slight smirk perhaps had his eye on the queen
This looks like a piece of classical art. It's definitely one of the best crowd scenes I've seen in a long while. Every face tells a story, as does the way they're composed.
Though I do wonder how arctic foxes came to be royalty over red foxes. Sounds like some interesting history there.

actually the arctic and red foxes have separate kingdoms and cultures. They're just very closely allied, since their interests tend to coincide most of the time. It is common for the two species to serve in each other's forces, as you can see here in the Princess's (now Queen's) army. The reds have their own royals but they revere the arctic royal family (and vice versa)
yes indeed, there is a story. The two foxes on the left (the beaten-up looking ones) have just come with the news that the army has been defeated in battle and the king has been killed. The former princess (centre, in the armour) has learned that not only is her father dead, but she is now the Queen. Despite her grief she is resolved to carry on the fight, signified by the strong grip she has on her sword. All the other foxes around her are kneeling in homage to her, also in sorrow for the death of the King.
I have planned a follow up to this but, as I am sure you appreciate, creating an artwork like this can take weeks and finding the time to do it is difficult to say the least.

Words... can't... cute... *dead of epileptic shock*
A few months back, me and a couple of friends came up with a story that much resembled what you're depicting here. Accept the foxes were less like knights and nobility and more like Saxsons and Vandles and Vikings- You get the picture. It's almost like the story has finally come to life in a a different medium.
Just. Fantastic work.
