Fox Fae

October 5, 2024
Soft Pastel, 19.5" x 27.5"

This year I have been reading Heather Fawcett’s Emily Wilde series. After reading Map of the Otherlands, I was very taken by the fuchszwerge and their description as looking very much like foxes, but with the faces of human infants. I aged the features of my foxes up a bit, but all credit for the inspiration goes to the author.

Two foxes with human facial features sitting amongst poppies. One fox strokes the other's cheek with a human shaped hand.
