Raven Foxx Art

The Art of Elise Moore She/They | Black | Sapphic | 23 | Schizoaffective Disorder + Autism

New Intro Post!

Hi! I'm Elise Moore, also known as Raven Foxx. I am a multimedia artist from Detroit creating work inspired by history, religion, and mental illness, featuring animal vessels. My art encompasses genres such as fantasy, anthropomorphism, and paleoart.

I am diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder (depressive type) and autism, and these conditions are a huge component in my artwork.

I utilize many different media in my work, such as:

Digital software (Krita, Rebelle, Blender, OpenToonz)

Oils

Watercolour

Gouache

Oil pastels

I love exploring different methods for creating art!

Follow me if you're interested in joining me on my artistic journey. You won't regret it!

My short film "METAMORPHOSIS' is out NOW!

With a little help, a young fox becomes the monster she sees inside herself.

Inspired by my experiences with mental illness.

I had a really good time working on this project. Please check it out!

"Self Portrait as the Tortured Artist", digital painting.

This piece is based on an older digital painting. I didn't like how the original turned out, so I made a new version. Original is below.

Lo and behold!

The teaser trailer for my upcoming short film "METAMORPHOSIS" is published on YouTube!

Please check it out if you can. :)

"Kelpie", oil pastel on paper.

I think I'm getting better with this medium!

I used ochre Fabriano pastel paper, and oil pastels from the Sennelier, Mungyo Gallery, Paul Rubens Haiya, and Neopastel brands.

A short comic about my experiences with schizoaffective disorder.

This is based on a one-man play/monologue I wrote for the playwriting/screenwriting class I took in 2022.

I haven't drawn a comic in YEARS, so it was fun revisiting this medium. :)

Made in Krita.

Droxen Gait Study #1 (Gallop)

Doing little animations to map out how the Droxen (my original species) move about. I actually started this one late last year, but it was going horribly, so I just worked from scratch. XD

Animated in OpenToonz.

"Metamorphosis", WIP for an animated short.

I'm away from home due to a family emergency, so I've been only able to work on projects on my laptop.

Anyway, I've started working on an animation based on how my mental illness affects how I see myself. Just trucking along at this point, and trying new things.

Animated in OpenToonz, backgrounds painted in Krita, and shots edited together in Shotcut.

Painted a hippocampus/sea-horse for MerMay!

I've had the PureRef scene for this one ready for like, two weeks. XD Finally got around to making the piece tonight. Horse faces are fun. Water is fun. Yep.

Made in Krita.

I graduated!

I participated in my community college's graduation ceremony yesterday! I graduated with honours. I have one more summer class to take, and then I'll get my diploma for an associate's degree in fine arts. After that, I will be transferring to a local four-year university. :)

I'm so excited to begin this next journey of my life!

"Nicodemus", digital painting.

Fanart of "The Secret of NIMH". I adore the film, and its art style is a huge inspiration for me.

Made in Krita.

"Desert Guide", digital painting.

More art for my worldbuilding project. This one features a Droxen getting help from an Anvodenjorden, or "desert dweller".

I don't have much about the desert dwellers, other than that they're extremely tall heron-like creatures. I felt having only one anthropomorphic species in the headworld wouldn't make much sense (or be as fun).

Anyway, this was painted in Krita.

"Self Portrait in Psychosis", digital painting.

Been feeling some symptoms lately, so here's a portrait of myself with my tired eyes and grey hair.

Painted in Krita.

Digital painting of the dinosaur Microraptor gui.

Based on a painting I made back in 2020. Made in Krita.

Animation test for "The Cuckoo" project.

I made a model sheet for the bird, and did this test animation to make sure it moved well.

Animated in OpenToonz. Backgrounds painted in Krita.

Also, this wasn't supposed to be a loop, but it kinda turned out that way. XD

"The Cuckoo in the Depths of the Woods", rough animatic.

Planning a short animated film based on one movement of Saint-Saëns' "The Carnival of the Animals".

Frames drawn in Krita and edited in Shotcut.
