Bat-eared fox (COLOR SKETCH) (Patreon)

There's so many species of foxes out there, and it's very tempting to try differentiating them with anthro designs. So they don't all look like red foxes and such. I put my own stylistic spin on her, but she might still only resemble a bat-eared fox in some superficial ways. It's a process! I'm infatuated with the reverse dip ponytail so THAT is staying.

The Cincinnati Zoo just so happens to have a bat-eared fox that they've named... Kalahari! But apparently they also call him "plompy" :| And while we may be cross-contaminating each other's SEOs, the baby pictures are insanely cute and worth checking out.
