Artist's Comments

I finished this a few days ago now, Im just slow with uploading to sites other than furaffinity.

Fire has a dual personality. It is the great destroyer, terrible and all consuming. Symbolic of war and chaos , and linked to the sun. Fire is associated with extreme emotions, the color red, and the masculine. On its more positive side, it symbolizes purification and regeneration, the home, hearth and divine love, passion, energy and creativity.

A red vixen poses with flame. I had no idea how to go about the background, so I made a golden sunset with lots of yellows oranges and browns with a hint of a volcanic mountain range in the front. I felt it was suiting. It was a challenge to balance all the like colors without losing the figure, but I think she still pops :) I didnt want her to be surrounded by non-fire related colors.

Im still getting used to doing elaborate backgrounds(by elaborate i mean something that isnt just a random watercolor wash to fill a white void), but it was good practice. It was referenced off of a google image.

That concludes the fire and ice series :) Twas fun.

Truly stunning. She definitely pops out from the backdrop colors because of how the painstaking fur texture contrasts the more painterly look of the backdrop. The earthy warm colors establish the mood perfectly and are very pleasing to the eye... Mine, at least. ;p Wonderful, wonderful work! I especially admire that fur texture, as well as your excellent grasp on anatomy. Her torso came out especially well.
