I’d love to see an artist’s take on a character I’ve been working on: a tiny snow fox who is a fairy-tale wandering knight.
He’s a small, round, very fluffy plush-like snow fox, about 30 cm tall, with snowy-white fur, a large fluffy tail, and soft rounded paws. His eyes are mismatched glass gemstones: one sapphire blue and one amethyst purple.
He wears simple silver fairy-tale knight armor with a little snowflake emblem on the chest, a rounded helmet with openings for his fox ears, and an oversized deep-blue traveling cloak. He carries a small round shield and a little silver sword that’s slightly too big for him, so he sometimes has to drag it behind him.
Personality-wise, he’s gentle, kind, brave, curious, and easily distracted by things like butterflies, rocks, twigs, and trees. Despite being a silly little plush fox, he takes being a knight very seriously. When something threatens his friends, he becomes surprisingly determined and protective.
The reason he became a knight is because he looks after his master: a little ghost kitten girl who travels with him. Their relationship is more like a tiny wandering knight and his beloved ghost-cat companion, with both of them looking after each other in their own ways.
One of his funniest traits is that he has a dramatic knightly battle cry. He can speak normally, but whenever he charges into danger, he raises his sword and lets out what he believes is a mighty cry...
“SQUEEEEEAK!”
To everyone else, it’s just adorable.
I’d be really interested to see how different artists interpret him while keeping that soft, storybook knight feeling.
