My first repaint! - The old Schleich fox

She sure wasn't a beauty queen. I don't know if someone had tried adding some mascara to make her look better, but obviously it didn't work. I also had three foxes of the same model, so it was time for her to go - even though she's one of my first figures.

So, before:

My idea was to make her a silver fox or whatever the blonder version of them is called. I looked through some photos I found from the internet, but didn't really follow any model or even look at them while painting. This is how she turned out:

I'm really happy with my first repainting, even though she looks a bit too much like a dog. Also, after taking the photos and seeing them on bigger size on the computer screen, I noticed some flaws that I already fixed. So the other side of the mouth and the "eyebrows" look a bit different now. I think she's really cute!

Very cute fox! And very nice repaint

Maybe this fox is pretty close to what my paintwork is trying to be:

Thank you! I'm glad you like it :)

That fox is the cutest thing I have seen for a long time

You did a wonderful job, - beauuutyful silver fox

Wow! You've chosen beautiful photo for reference, just look at these eyes Beautiful!

Susanne is right! The choice of a silver fox is even better than a grey fox! unless it is a melanistic variation of a red fox and not a completly different species what would work not as well! :)
I love your repainting!

Thank you everyone!

I think silver foxes are just colour variations of red fox (and exist mainly on fur farms ). And they come in many different colors (that also have their own names, like platinum fox) that are actually totally unnatural, like my painting But mine runs wild and free!

Yes, yours is a wild silver fox and not a domesticated silver fox. :)
I hope you make a grey fox in future!

I also hope so! I had never even heard of them, but now I googled a bit. Seems like I need to sculp the grey fox myself, can't use a red fox fot that one

I agree as I told before!

The type of fox you painted is called a platinum fox
Cograts. on the panting it came out very nice
