How did you learn how to draw foxes so well? Did you look at the anatomy of them?
yeah! i literally just looked at pictures of them and traced over them. i have a habit of giving every animal i try to draw the anatomy of a cat, so it's hard for me to move away from that without using a reference. my big thing with foxes now is they are long and pointy! ears, muzzles, legs, tails-- they are long and pointy in ways that cats aren't! i'm still figuring them out honestly, but ive gotten a lot better!
Alright this is where I'll be storing the links to the designs I have currently! If a character link is missing, I probably don't have a design! Shoot me an ask if you've got any ideas! Just remember, in this AU:
Humans Are Canids - like dogs, foxes, wolves, etc
Monsters Are "Felids" - either any feline species or having mostly feline traits. i tend towards the vibe of 'if a pun can be made, do it'.
Darkners Are Whatever Suits Them Best - because it's more fun that way.

OTHER NPCS
Annoying Dog is still a dog bc I find that amusing.
Temmie is also basically the same bc she is perfect.
Is there a design for lancers dad? Since Lancer is a puppy, would his dad be dog related? (Idk Lancers dads name) maybe he would be a pitbull. Idk he just seems the pitbull kinda guy.
Alright, so I'm a furry and was just sitting in bed thinking of fursuit ideas and I wanted to ask, what would you say if someone asked permission to make a fursuit of one of the PawTale/Peltrune characters, if they found a way to credit you for it? Just out of curiosity since my friends were wondering as well.
thatd be so cool!!!!!!!! i would die /pos
any credits would go to Blackie Sootfur (me) as I came up with the designs, and then of course crediting toby fox for the characters!
Do you have any advice on differentiate cats and dogs/foxes in your art? People keep getting confused from my art
For me it's in the face. Cats tend to have shorter and rounder muzzles than canines, dogs have thicker and longer snouts (as well as bigger rounder noses) and foxes are more recognizable to me when the muzzles are pointier. But also i just kinda accepted that people are gonna look at my foxes and thing theyre dogs or wolves or cats!
Hi, I was just wondering if you'll ever have a dedicated post, link, area, etc. filled with all of the designs you've made for Peltrune and Pawtale? I would love to draw some of these designs one day but don't want to spend all day scrolling through the blog :0
Oh yeah i can totally do that! It might take me a bit to put together but I'll add it to the to do list for sure :3
