(3/3) of making music genres into fighting game characters. (Look at the first post that will explain what I'm doing here :3.)
I think I ended up making this one as I'm been listening to BABYMETAL a lot for past few months. So it's really inspired by them, and how their symbol they do with their hands is a fox than the usually devil horns for metal.
•As Metal is about rejecting the norm, I thought I should make a metal/gothic wedding dress with kitsune features, while still wanting find love, but people should love how they are, and they are not there to be a wife, they have their own weird hobbies, style, makeup, etc…. As there are different types of kitsune, some are shape shifters which can change to monsters to scare people or turn into beautiful human to trick people to marry them for nefarious purposes or pranks. and pretend to live a normal life among them until they are found out because a tail, fangs or anything fox feature. So, I’m using this into the design… fang, ears and tail are fully shown in her design. (Please correct me if I'm wrong in any way!!! I had limit time and I might of overlooked something and I'm really shorting down my research here with the one I wrote for uni)
•So, I want to take a twist to it, the design is not a purposes to trick you, but more like test you if you would accept them with how they just are.
•Also, in ancient Japan, there is a specific look was called a fox face, which is a narrow face with close-set eyes, thin eyebrows and high cheekbones, so I thought it be a nice touch to add to the character, as it’s seen as attractive face to have, but then it then who she is out the norm, I feel be nice way to shock people.
•Their weapon is just their fox spirit. You can control the human and the fox separately, so you can easily attack from both sides. I think it’s a cool way to represent how in sync and connected to every part of herself. So, she just fights like any human with a help of a giant fox that connected to her body. This also means they will express themselves at the same, as in facial expressions.
•I don’t usually draw animals so hopefully the fox looks fine. '':)
