Liberation for Skyfox1

Description

Character commission for Skyfox1, please do not use or distribute without commissioner's permission.

A very special commission for Skyfox1 on FurAffinity, who requested himself (as a fox, obviously) peeling off an outer human skin. The original description posed it as peeling off a set of overalls, but when I came to sketch it I kept coming back to this scene in Voyage of the Dawn Treader where Eustace is shedding his dragon skin—and although that was the opposite transformation, from animal to human, I felt it worked since I wanted the piece to have a more joyous, liberating feel, and not dwell too much on the implied "ew his skin is coming off!" factor. So I tried to make the skin and clothes act a bit more like a dead lizard skin, or a peeling sunburn—something you want to come off. Fortunately, Skyfox liked this.

For a background he had requested something natural and foresty or cosmic, so I did both. :3 Those stars were fun—yay for acrylic ink!

This is very emotional piece. Like you said, a casting off of dead skin. I can just *hear* the howl.
What's intersting, I think, is that the cloth and skin appear to be the same thing.
