Description
Erm, final submission before exams start (tomorrow)A kitsune, I'll leave the gender up to you since I was going for the androgynous look. ^_^ In any case, the character above is not related in any way to Inuyasha!
Put this under fantasy rather than anime because it's depicting a creature from legends. Silver because once a fox lives up to 100 years, their fur turns gold or silver, and they develop human traits. ^^ Every hundred years, a kitsune gains a new tail and human feature until they reach the age of 1000 years, at which they have a maximum of 9 tails, and are able to transform into full humans.
So yiis, this kitsune has nine tails (though they're a bit hard to see)... For once I focused on the background a bit.
Can you tell?

Our fur doesn't change silver. we're born with either white or brownish-red. It doesn't change. Trust me I'm a kitsune and so is my twin brother, we know this stuff. GORGEOUS ART THOUGH! I LOVE IT! ^^

Ah, I see. ^^ Korean δΉε°Ύη, unlike the Japanese η, are born as normal foxes (we chiefly have red brown, grey and the occaional white) but once they reach their mytcal status of a δΉε°Ύη, nine tails and all as their name implies, their fur turns silver or gold.
Still, it's nice to understand from the perspective of a η, whether they have nine tails or no. ^^ I'm glad you like the piece though, ancient as it is.

Such a gorgeous kitsune! =^^= One thing though-- A kitsune will gain a new tail every 100 years that they have lived, and they live about 1000 years, at which point their fur turns white, silver, or gold. They can turn into humans their whole lives, though. (Or by some sources, age 50.)

Lovely detail, especially in the background. I like the way you did the fur on the tails, but the tails themselves look a bit too skinny to me... foxes, and I would assume kitsune, tend to have big fluffy tails. But that would make it awfully hard to draw nine of them, I guess. Anyway, very nice work (:

The colors are beautiful and the face is prefect. Though I think the arm holding the pipe is a bit long. Could be my eyes...

Awesome, I love the kitsune... in anime-land that could so be a boy too. So you made that background? It's great, what did you use to color the whole thing?

Once again...BEAUTIFUL work you have ;-;
I think I love everything here - the outfit is killer, and it seems to be the perfect set of colours! The kitsune itself is wonderful..from expression to tails and those awesome nails (VWAHA!). The background is gorgeous and very realistic <3
Hope one day I can have half the talent you do

Fantastic. What I like here most are his hands (nails exactly) with so strange, bloody fingertips. And the second thing is incredibly soft transition of colours and shades on it's clothes.
