Inspiration for Kitten

Description

The inspiration for Kitten's design. There's a story behind this one...

Okay, so a few years ago (about 3 or 4), I was online looking for some Starfox Adventures pictures when I happened upon a comic book character named Scarlet Ann Starfox. I looked at her profile and some pictures of her (which can be found here: [link]), and I realized her design would fit perfectly with how I wanted one of my fox characters to look. I was thinking through my OCs (I didn't have too many at the time), and the first one that came to mind was Kitten. I wanted her to be a cat at first, but also sort of fox-like in appearance. I decided she would be a hybrid, but look more like a fox than a cat. So I printed out Scarlet's Modelsheet, traced over some of the headshots (like that that pic on the right), and changed around some of the features. I even used the Modelsheet of Erica Starfox, Scarlet's sister, for Kitten's 20-year-old style ([link]). I decided that this would be her 21-year-old style, and kept it that way for a while. Over time, though, I mixed both of the designs together and started drawing her in my own style. Now the only difference between the 20-year-old and 21-year-old is the fact that I added a choker with a heart pendant.

So... see the resemblance? That's cause it's her! =D
