Lingering Kitsune Ryo:
I am not great at drawing, or file conversions or uh well any of the skills needed to convey my idea it seems but! Here goes lol.
M1 + M2
M1: Spectral Kitsune Tails
M2: Kiitsunebi orbs
The idea behind this is a fan of 5-9 tails that taper off into a semi translucent sort of spectral look (keeping with the Ryo's semi corporeal theme) . The orbs are inspired by Kitsunebi and Onibi which are types of atmospheric "ghost lights" and have kind of a wispy/lightning look in the woodcuts. (will include reference pics from wiki below)
I thought adding longer tufted ears with a bit of wisp on them would also be a neat addition to the spectral details on tail and "mane".
Color Detail for M1 + M2, as well as Trait G1: Kitsune's Markings
G1 - Using C1 color as white in this picture, and the darkest Blue as C2 just some simple markings as an alternative to the existing Fox trait.
M1 - Uses C3 for the spectral details of Mane, Tail, Ears, Feet, as well as a faint corona effect of the EC for additional interest and detail. Tried to create the idea of the opacity fading out towards the edge.
M2: Multi colored ghostly orbs using a mixture of M2 (not that I remembered to add that in), EC, AC1, and/or C3 colors.
G3 - Lingering Gleam
M3 - Inari's Blessing
G3 - some simple details added to the face and to highlight the eyes, angle of the ears, as well as markings along the body where G3 is more translucent with thinner bolder highlight from AC1.
M3 - I wanted to empasize the ears in some way without overpowering/obscuring them, some simple earrings connected by a chain I think draws more attention/interest without taking away from the Ryo itself.
