Kitsune, fox lady

To put this simply a Kitsune is a fox in Japanese folklore with the ability to transform into a human.
They are magical creatures with vast intelligence that increase with age and wisdom. But as it is said like other foxes around the world the Kitsune has the ability to trick others, other stories depict them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers and even wives. The interesting bit for me is that tails a Kitsune has the older, wiser and more powerful they are - they can have up to 9-.

Now with this series I did the two together with a fox each to show something different, and as a test to myself. That was can I create a background that would work without my line work. It was asked for as an image by a friend who wanted something not to sexual. The irony being the 2nd version which was a test run for my own benefit to find out my comfortable limits. Was actually the version they wanted at then end of the day.
