Piper Reynard (Original Sketch) by
@Agondray
Another character of mine. In the same universe as Panda Moon.
This is Piper Reynard, but he also goes by the nickname “Pip”. He is a young adult red fox who has a knack for technology. Coincidentally going to the same college/university as a certain red panda, Piper studies electrical engineering and robotics. He strives to be a skilled technician/roboticist and hopes to be a pioneer for a new age technological advancement. Although he does tend spend a bit too much time on his projects and personal gadgets, he tries to find enough to spend on hanging out with his best friend and his girlfriend, Boris Aurochton and Vixey Vulpus respectively.
Becoming concerned with the sudden and growing surges of criminal activity going on in his home city, Pip started working on some new projects to help combat this activity. With a winged high-tech jet-pack, a aerodynamic suit with Kevlar armor, and experimental gauntlets equipped with claws that can superheat; Piper prepares himself for the challenges ahead. When he flies into the city on the lookout for evildoers, he takes on the identity of “Enfield”, based on the mythical creature of the same name.
Man, drawing this guy was more of a challenge than Panda. I usually struggle with drawing the male form, let alone one that is meant to be thin. Trying to find the right kind of footwear for digitigrade legs didn’t exactly make things easier either. SO MUCH DETAIL IT NEEDS!
Despite the difficulties I had with this character, I think he came out alright in the end. Though, the tail looks a bit off. I should probably try a more cartoony style for him in the future.
What do you think?
Maybe it's the eyebrows, but he looks a lot older than described. :p For a fox I figure the tail would be bushier.
This takes me back to a friend from an "old" countryRP group: one of his earliest performances was a race of fox people, and one interlude was spotlighting jetpack powersuits that went on to become a signature of his sci-fi factions, furry or otherwise. They were repurposed as cats in later cameos, but I'm pinching the OG as an Easter egg for a Hearts of Iron IV mod based on one of the games. ||||||:^{3>
