Artist's Comments

I've been playing with the idea of designing old nintendo characters. Starfox was the first game I ever played, and I love it. However, many people keep insisting that he is a furry, I tried my best to make him less so. However, it didn't work as well as I had hoped, he still looks 'awkward' because of it.
There's just something about general furries that is unnerving. I'm not sure what it is, maybe someday I can identify the factor, then I can avoid it in all aspects of art.

I like this! I like how you make your animal characters.

I think with furries, people try to draw them more human-like then animal-like and that's the unnerving part of it.

HITLER rhymes with TRITTER. Coincidence? I think NOT.
Ah, good old Fox McCloud. Loved that game.

I think that the less humanish you make the character, the less creepy in that respect (especially the eyes and rest of face).
Woo what a neat re-imagining! His clothes are super-nifty, and I totally dig those boots. :}
But I think he would be more fox-like if his snout were a little longer. As it is he looks rather cat-like. Nice job though!
I think it's the cartoony, naked, subtly sexual and often poorly drawn nature of furries that makes them so unpalatable.

But you should be taking this idea and running with it. A more realistic Fox McCloud is what the world needs, and you have given him a winning look.
great drawing, though he seems a little chunky in the legs....

Still if you ever color this, let me know; I really like this pic.
Awesome job! ^_^
