Something sus is going on here

Oh Man I'm gonna SIMP.

So did this character's gender change at some point in the series or is the gender swap just a furry thing? I only played the N64 Starfox game so idk, but I know he was a male in that game! Lol

Just a furry thing. He's a male in all canon iterations.

It’s just swapping his gender lol
Not canon but fun

It is an invariable Rule of Fandom and the Internet. (Sometimes called Rule 63)

If a popular character 'Exists' ... fans will make an opposite gender version of them.

Wolf is such a generic tough guy, many fans find him more interesting as a lady, which is why Fem Wolf fanart has become somewhat common lately.

... much more common than Male Krystal fanart anyway ... which also exists ...

OwO indeed

I can't wait for the full image! It looks incredible!

The only criticism that I can offer is that the arms lack muscle definition. Other than that, I think this is a perfect work of art! Love your stuff Fox.
