I've always been fond of foxes of Japanese folktales. The more tails they have, the more powerful, with the nine tailed fox being the oldest and strongest. Like tanuki, foxes (or "kitsune") are tricksters and masters of transformation.
Ninetails's face makeup is based on Japanese fox masks. Her design is inspired by nine tailed fox bosses in Otogi and Okami.
EDIT: See Ninetails in her human form here: [link] Also, for those who love creatures of Japanese mythology, added a kirin and a transforming kitsune.
Also, if you are curious about my photomanipulation process and would like to see the unfinished Ninetails, she is here: [link]
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Please FULL VIEW all these amazing pieces of ART. Visit the artists pages and give them a :+fav and your support. Thank you for taking the time........

They take a very long time. This one wasn't as time consuming as some of the others. The dragons are the worst.
