#corsac fox

[flea-is-not-a-furry]

My friends and I played Wanderhome on Thursday and it was so cute. Tbh, we were really bad at not having a DM but our characters were so wonderful it made up for it.

Gunna do some renders of the sketches I did during the session, including a rerender of this drawing so I'm excited for that.

Started a new project where I sketch headshots for a bunch of different species to help study animal physiology and facial shapes / features! Foxes are first, specifically vulpes!

Drew myself a tiny B-day gift.

Her name is Cootie and she is a werefox (a fox who sometimes put on a human disguise)

Vulpes corsac

Closely related to the Tibetan sand fox, corsac foxes are a medium-sized fox species found in Central Asia.

Corsac foxes live in the grasslands and semi-arid desert regions of Central Asia, particularly in northern China, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan.

The population of the corsac fox is classified as least concern, meaning they aren’t at risk for extinction, but populations change dramatically from year to year because they are hunted for their fur.

The diet of the corsac fox consists mostly of rodents and other small animals. They occasionally hunt larger prey like rabbits and pikas, and when food is scarce they will eat vegetation. Nobody likes salad so it’s understandable that they only resort to this when nothing else is available.

Corsac foxes don’t live in a defined territory, instead preferring a nomadic lifestyle. They occasionally form groups to hunt, but they usually just form pairs. They hunt at night to avoid predators like wolves and eagles.

They have trouble hunting in snow, so during the winter they often travel south or shelter in burrows. They can dig their own burrows, but they aren’t very good at it so they usually take over abandoned animal dens. Being more social than most fox species, they often share these dens with other foxes.

I rate the corsac fox 10/10. Adorable little nomads

Dropping some old sona pics. This is one of my old sonas. This was all back when my sona was a corsac fox. Three of these are drawn over my own selfies and such. One is just a situation that happened once. Was actually pretty fond of this sona.

(Rabbit is my best friend, maned wolf is an old sona of @mungosaur)

The day has arrived!!! It is time for the spirit of Songkran to sit on the battlefield!!!!! 🔫💦💧🔫🇹🇭

I couldn't make an art for Carnival as I should have due to lack of time, but at least Songkran gave me another opportunity :D

(As a curious fact, the idea was originally to make 2 arts, one for carnival, and one for Songkran, so it could be said that in the end both arts merged into one)

I enjoyed painting those patterns, but I once again overdid it and made the details to intricate and small. Also, I decided to add some flowers as decoration. Also because I want to paint something else than only foxes every now and then, hahah. The flowers are "pulsatilla flavescens". I chose those because I looked for wild Mongolian flowers. Mongolia is one of the areas that are the natural habitat of Corsac foxes. Hence also the background pattern.
