Finally, my favorite fox got a ref after 3 years of being in my possession. Artwork was drawn for her, but there was no ref, the previous design template had too many sloppy lines, because of this, the fox's design changed from art to art... now, fortunately, this will not happen.

At the same time with the ref, I tried to detail the fur in a new way, before I did this only on traditional sketches, it kills a lot of time, the result is not bad, but there is something to work on.

Fan fact: this fox has been my alter ego in narrow circles for some time. I don't know if I will change anything in my self-presentation in the media space using Rusty, but at the moment this is just a cool character, very much loved by me.

Well, and a paradox I've noticed for a long time - the more "rag" the character's design was, the closer it becomes to me in the future, unlike characters who initially have a cool design and ref.
