Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2007 2:55 pm Post subject: Question about Chris Foxx |
|
|
Maybe I'm just going bonkers, but I got the impression that Chris Foxx is a brown fox. But I've got others telling me he's a red fox. Which is correct? I looked up his bio on the SOtS site, but it doesn't say anything about his particular species.
If there's a reference in the story itself, could someone please point it out to me?
Thanks in advance! _________________ Styx: "Oh sure like flaming a dragon going to do massive damage, brave challenge there Teric." |

Based on a quick-and-dirty glance through the galleries on Chris' Foxx Den it does appear that Chris is often drawn in a somewhat more brown shade of red than is typically used for red fox characters. This is not consistent across all artists - Mapper, for instance, portrays him with as having the usual red fox coloration. _________________ mwalimu

I was hoping that Chris would see this thread and respond... I haven't heard back from him on email for a while. _________________ Styx: "Oh sure like flaming a dragon going to do massive damage, brave challenge there Teric." |

Just pulled this from chapter 2:
Quote: | They'd described their appearances to each other; she could see every brown and white hair on his body |
Brown Fox...?

Ok, good, got that cleared up. So if he's a brown fox, would his forearms, forelegs, and paws be brown or black? _________________ Styx: "Oh sure like flaming a dragon going to do massive damage, brave challenge there Teric." |

I can help that!
Chris Foxx is an American brown fox with black paws and boots, black-tipped ears, white fur beneath his muzzle that extends over his chest and partway down the inside of his thighs, and a white-tipped tail. He has brown hair, green eyes, and wears glasses.
Originally he had white paws and boots, but that was a mistake I'd made when furry was new and exciting to me I think the only reference to that was when he was in the tomato juice bathtub.
So who's saying I'm a red fox??
Although ... my dad in Real Life is named Elmer, and his nickname was Redd. So my trouble was in referring to him in The Story as Redd Foxx and not having anyone make Sanford and Son jokes |

My bad (whatever that means). I think when you posted that, I was in Auburn, NY. |

Aww crumbly--my new story has him with a 'brown-furred paw'. Guess I gotta go back & change that.
Originally, my 2nd pair of eyes came back to me and mentioned that he thought you were a Red Fox--that's what brought on this thread to begin with. But after re-reading some of the earlier chapters, I realized that the proper species is Brown Fox. But I didn't know that Brown Foxes still had black paws... _________________ Styx: "Oh sure like flaming a dragon going to do massive damage, brave challenge there Teric." |

I never met one that didn't!

Is fix now. _________________ Styx: "Oh sure like flaming a dragon going to do massive damage, brave challenge there Teric." |
