Tina sent pics of cardinal fox and I have to say, I like him more than I thought I would! I'm not a fan of red, but wow. He's very striking. I DID change his wing colors. The top is all one solid color now. Tina tried the version with 3 different shades of red and they kind of clashed so I made the judgement call and I like the result :)
His colors are weird in this photo, see other photos for his true red color!
Next, Rosy maple fox is giving me trouble. I LOVE the new colors. Sooo much better than the pale pinks before. But for some reason the face looks like a bear to me now? Tina confirmed the artist used the same pattern as my other foxes, but the fabric elasticity could be different and affecting the shape. I think I want to try adding yellow cheeks to bring out the foxiness more. What do you guys think? Or should I try changing the fabric? I think it's mainly her muzzle not tapering at the end so perhaps just a different muzzle fabric? In comparison, this was her previous prototype with lighter colors. She looks foxy in this one. Tina also tried to find a yellow nose with no success. They were too small and this one was waaay too big and made her look even more like a bear!
SO, my preference is to keep the nose black and add yellow cheeks. Maybe change the muzzle fabric? This is a pic I edited to show what I want. OR let me know if you like a pink nose that probably clashes with the fur colors. It would be the same nose I used on violet budgie. It would be fuzzy and less realistic. With or without yellow cheeks
