Next to the wolf masks I do, I think this red fox is possibly my most popular mask design. I've probably sold more foxes than anything else in my career as a maskmaker.
I decided to update the fox just a little. I lightened the fur and tipped the ears forward just a bit more, and made the black markings just a little thicker and bolder. Small changes but it seems more properly "foxy" to me now.
Made from hand carved, hand shaped 8 ounce leather. Painted with Liquitex acrylics.
Thank you! I was using Red Ochre straight up, but it was a bit too dark so I mixed 1 part Yellow Ochre to 1 part Raw Sienna to 2 parts Red Ochre and that's my new "foxy red". Drybrushed with just a bit of Raw Sienna to bring the orange out more.
