Description A fox long waited for. I purchased him from AdarkerNEMISIS about a year and a half ago, paying extra fees to have him prepped and tanned for me by Minotaur-Queen . He had a lot of death staining on him and Leslie did an outstanding job cleaning him up and prepping.
Β 
Stats:
Name: Arktikos
Species: Red fox (Vulpes vulpes)
Color Mutation: arctic marble
Gender: Male
Length:
****** Nose to tail: 57 inches
****** Nose to butt: 37 inches
Mountable: Yes
For sale: No
Plans for pelt: Possibly lifesize to see the pelt more in motion so I can see fur direction/pattern placement better.

As with all of my pelts, I collect various color variations of different breeds not for the collectors value, but for the educational and artistic value. While pictures can be great aids, nothing has helped me greater with fur colors/patterning than a pelt seen in life, of which then I can translate later into a costume.

If you wish to leave hateful comments and demonstrations that you have not read any of my actual intentions or how this fox came to be/its future uses, it will only be ignored. Why? I have no time to give to such topics that only waste time. If you are inquisitive and wish to present your thoughts in a modest and mature manner, I always enjoy an insightful conversation. If you do not wish to conduct yourself in a respectable manner, we have no reason for conversation so please take your words elsewhere as they will fall upon deaf ears.

I'm wanting to go LS since a soft mount really wouldn't do those markings justice. I also have a Kodak cross coming that I'm thinking of mounting up along side it, so perhaps a duo LS mount?

Yeah I know what you mean, I really want a ranched fox LS one day. A duo mount would be so cool, they are the best! i've always wanted one of a black and white coyote.....

Could I ask how you came to be in possession of these pelts?

Depends on which one you are referring to. This particular one came from a ranch that was breeding them for domestication purposes, if I remember correctly. They tend to put down those that are ill, old, or overly aggressive.

Other pelts have come through means of other artists, roadkill, accidental trappings, population culling, people protecting their livestock, or repurposing old or vintage pelts.

Ah ok. That's rather sad. What do you use them for?

Sharpe19 In reply to Citrakara [2014-06-19 22:50:59 +0000 UTC]

I use them for artistic reference A lot of times pictures can't capture certain details or angles and can leave out a lot of details that real life shows. I use them for fur patterning, fur direction, coloration, details on the feet/ears/noses/whiskers/etc. as well as fur length in areas on the body and face.
