Oh these look absolutely beautiful!! :D
My only suggestion would be maybe making the baby girl's tail a little bit bigger? It looks a tad bit small in comparison to all the others. But that's just a minor detail.
I've never been a huge nixi fan but I'm already falling in love with these new versions <3

I did just notice one small problem. The adult ears. The female's ears are nearly in profile, but she's in three quarter view. The male's front ear also looks placed a bit far frontal on the head, I think tilting it outward slightly more would give a more fox vs wolf look to them. This is because on the small fox skull the ears are sitting at nearly the edge of the head, which gives them an appearance of sticking out to the side just a bit more than a wolf's head where the ears are not quite 'riding the edge of the skull' as much.

Other than that, i'm happy with how much fluffier they've got. :3z

Some example pics:



I realize the more 'upright' ears were also in the original artwork too, but I think it's because they are getting more fluffy that people are now drawing more 'wolf' comparisons because the old one was relying a bit on it's sleekness to differ it from looking as wolfy, so stancing the ears a bit may help distinct them more. ^^

I am beyond in love with these~ And the male!!! The one and only thing I ever disliked about nixis was the male's tail, and now even that looks gorgeous! So so beautiful~

Mh, the current zolnixi art has never been something I was fond of, and the new stuff definitely looks like it's going to be good, and aside from what I will shortly bring up, I think the update will actually make us appreciate the zolnixi as a species.
The issue we have is the hind legs on both adults. They kind of bother me? The male in particular just screams "german shepherd from one of the lines that people screwed over" at me, the ones where that've been bred for that awful, debilitating curve in their hindquarters (roach back?)?
Given than I am fairly certain they're based off of foxes/ fox mythos, I'd say that their bodies should have a much more oblong shape than the overbred-shepherd shape?

Also the muzzles on foxes are quite long and tapering in shape, quite possibly more akin to the current version than this one?

(although admittedly foxes also have far less forehead stop, but that's something carried over from the current version of the Zolnixi. Foxes, much like wolves, have a relatively smooth line from the top of the head to the tip of the snout. I'll chalk it up to Zolnixi not actually being foxes and instead being a different species entirely.)

Something about the ears is niggling at us, but overall the art seems very nice. Nice work there.

There's only really one thing I'm disliking with the preview so far, and that is that the Zolnixi looks much more reminiscent to the Lupora personally. I've always thought of the Zolnixi as a fox-like creature, and am a bit disappointed to see they don't hold as much of a "fox" or "agile" appeal here.

Other than that I absolutely love all the extra fluff in the line art! :D
