Description My beautiful boy chillin in my boyfriends backyard, there was some snow and i simply could not resist taking him out for a few photos! To me, the point in taking pictures of Delsin is simple: Make him look ALIVE. And so...thats what i try to do :3

This picture came out...way better than i expected. For the record, he is a FLOPPY softmount. He has wires in his legs and that is IT. No spine, no neck, just his legs! Im happy that this photo has him looking like his standing! That cute 'oh what is that over there' expression makes it all the better!

-----

This is Delsin. He is an Alaskan Cross Fox Softmount and he belongs to me.

*AtFirstPlush "re-created" Delsin! CHECK HER OUT!!!

-----

*No rude comments please, i use my pelts and soft-mounts for art, education, and painting. Please do not post a comment if you do not like what is being shown here. I personally do not hunt or trap...but i will always respect the people that do. I respect all animals. I believe in using all parts of an animal if it must be taken. If you do not agree with my views or opinions, please do not continue to look at the taxidermy/pelt section of my gallery. Thank you so so much. I appreciate your respect.*

HEAVILY WATER-MARKED FOR PROTECTION! Sorry U_U;

Oh my God. I saw this in my inbox and thought, yeah taxidermy, looks awesome, and then I see it in full view, and I'm all, shit... that... that is taxidermy right? But the tags... I thought for a moment there it was a real pet fox! Man, this is just stunning. Amazing photography skills there!

I actually clicked it because I had to find out if it was taxidermy or an actual pet fox, since those are legal now. I'd say you achieved your goal of making him look alive

I'm somewhat alittle scared to take mine out in the snow XD
I thought it would make the skin.......well, I don't know what I thought. since you use water to rehydrate them. But, lots of people do it. so I suppose it's fine
Great pictures by the way! He is SO cute!<3

Esaki In reply to InkAndbones [2013-02-27 01:51:15 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for the compliment!
I usually keep 'snow outings' short and sweet!
I also make sure to dry him off really well once he's inside :3
I also fluff his fur! The thing with Delsin is that his fur
is so luxurious and thick...half the time i dont even NEED to
dry him off cause his fur keeps him dry XD

InkAndbones In reply to Esaki [2013-02-27 02:20:50 +0000 UTC]

He has SO much fluff XD
I've always loved his sweet look.
Today actually my freind looked over my shoulder and asked, Awe, is that real?
I was looking at a pic of Delsin XD
Thanks for the advice as well!

You need body heat to melt the snow. Just avoid cuddling your pelts and soft mounts before you put them in the snow XD I always towel mine off after an outing too.

Beautiful, amazing shot. I don't know how you did it, but if I didn't know he was a soft mount, I'd think he was really alive! xD Love Delsin. <3 Such a beauty.
