Sorry for the question, but what are the 13 kitsune elements? I'm quite interested. ^^

BTW the artwork is very good! I'm kitsune-fan, I love this :3

Awesome! Another kitsune fan! @.@ I've shearched for yeeears for any info I could get! There is this one extremly WONDERful site of another kitsune lver who wanted to find out the REAL information on how the kitsune really came to be...
This is what I got, there are told to be thirteen different typs of elemental powers and thirteen different kitsune speices! This is also said in the historical book; "Kitsune" ^-^



(What is writen below is my knowledge off of a site)
--------------------------------------------------

The named types, Celestial and Wild, are mostly associated with the kitsune who follow Inari, and those who don't. In other words, the myobu and the nogitsune.
All my research so far have come to the agreement on the kitsune being connected to the thirteen elements, since the author of Kitsune has identified Heaven and Dark kitsune. (Celestial kitsune and Void kitsune). Other research has explained how other animal kami have connections to the other elements, with tengu being connected to mountain, thunder, and heaven, and tanuki being connected to forest and river. Finding information on the tanuki and tengu have been hard, and I am certain if I gained more information, other parallels would come up. Below is the list of the thirteen elements, and what I have been able to learn of kitsune who fall under these catagories. There is little that actually comes out and says directly whether this is true or not, but from what I have read on kitsune, and from what I have learned of kami, Japanese mysticism, Chinese mysticism, and popular belief in the Orient, this is probably as close as I will get to the truth for the present.
-------
Heaven: Also known as Celestial, or Prime, this is one of the examples of the 'High' elements mentioned in Kitsune. Celestial kitsune are listed as one of the two most numerous types to exist, and most, from what I gather, serve Inari. Tenko Thse would also be the Myobu who serve Inari and live at the temple..

Void: Also known as the Dark kitsune, Void kitsune are the second of the 'High' kitsune. Where Celestial kitsune are myobu, void kitsune are nogitsune. Reiko.

The rest of the kitsune fall under 'wild kitsune', or 'low' kitsune. They were not singled out, but since these are the other elements found in oriental legends, and in legends of the kami, it is safe to assume that the kitsune also fall under these elements.

Wind: Also known as air kitsune, or kuko. Most kuko are considered 'bad'. Kitsune have been known to appear as wind, or create mists or fog.

Spirit: Kiko or koryo, another of the 'bad' kitsune, also called 'ghost foxes' or demon foxes.

Fire, Earth, River, Ocean, Mountain, Forest, Thunder, Time, Sound: While these are the other elements that are listed in the orient as 'low' elements, I have no names for the kitsune of these regions. As I have mentioned, the tanuki and tengu are connected to some of these elements, however, and they can be used to draw parallels.

oh, well thank you! that's very kind, and i always enjoy comments with a little depth to them. Water seems to be the most popular of these 4, it's the only original I've sold so far too.

Yeah, usually i only get comments with "awesome!" and "Cool!" in them and it really drives me crazy. I can see why people might favour the water one but i do think that the whole lot are very well drawn and nicely detailed too. Earth looks strong and guarded. Air looks delicate and even slightly girlie. Water looks beautiful and secretive. And Fire looks fiesty and ready for a fight. I love them all.
