In Norway, the tricksy fox in the fairy tales (kind of the equivalent of the big bad wolf) is called Mikkel Rev. And this is who this fox apparently wanted to be. I worked on his face for hours and hours, but no matter how many times I redid his eyes, he wanted to be a little bit of a wicked fox. A fox saying leave me alone so I can curl up tight in a ball and go to sleep.
(It's hard to take photos because the day is so dark and I can't find my tripod and the flash reflects too much.)
very art school comment at the end...looks like he may have a bit if Hoovy in him.

He doesn't look too scarey, just 'leave me alone' look
