Artist's commentary
Kitsune
The Kitsune are intelligent Yokai who posses magical powers and the ability to disguise themselves as humans. While they are believed to be mischievous in nature, there are Kitsune who will act as faithful guardians, friends, lovers and even divine messengers of Inari.
The Megitsune is a Kitsune who takes the form of a human female. They are charismatic and alluring, and enjoy playing tricks on humans who fall for their charm. However, some Megitsune will pursue a sincere romance and devote themselves to their partner, but must keep their true form a secret.
This Megitsune cares not about hiding her true nature, just having fun and mischief. (or perhaps she needs to practice her human disguise!)

Done for a mythological creatures zine my coworkers are putting together for the local art scene. I am unsure if they'll sell it online as of this moment.
