A pale blue anthro fennekin with black paws with spikes on them, along with an additional spike on his chest looking at the viewer and waving at you. The reason he is blue is because he is half lucario, hence the black paws and spikes.
Bluefire waving at you :3 #Art #Artist #Pokemon #PokemonFanArt #OC #MyOCs #PokemonOCs #OriginalCharacter #OriginalCharacters #Fennekin #Lucario #PokemonFusion #PkmnFusion #FennekinOC #LucarioOC #PokemonFanArt #PkmnFanArt #Cute #NationalFoxDay #FoxDay #FoxDay2025

photo of the bottle & its gallery label “Fox-Head Bottle Peru; Topará (Necropolis) 2nd century в.c.-1st century A.D. Ceramic Gift of Nathan Cummings, 1963 63.232.49” “For several centuries around the time of the beginning of the CE, artists of the Paracas people on Peru’s S Coast developed a striking style of ceramics featuring a colorful palette achieved w// post-fire paints. Around 200 BCE, however, potters from the N part of the Ica region distinguished themselves from their Paracas counterparts by crafting elegant, highly burnished, monochromatic bottles in a style known as Topará. Red or cream slips - liquid suspensions of clay & pigments - were used to cover the entire vessel, & the smooth surfaces were carefully burnished to produce a uniform shine. Many Topará vessels were shaped like gourds, others like animals. This fox bottle was created by attaching a modeled canine head to the globular body. The frontal limbs were delineated by incisions in soft clay & later painted w/ a cream slip. The simplicity of the rendering contrasts w/ the dramatic expression of the animal. A spout in the back is connected to the head w/ a bridge handle. This vessel type, known as a spout-and-bridge bottle, was the South Coast’s signature shape for the following millennium. Topará-style bottles were found in cemeteries, such as those excavated on the Paracas Peninsula at the beginning of the 20th century by the Peruvian archaeologist Julio Tello. Tello dubbed the abandoned houses converted into communal graves "Necropolis," & that name has become attached to the style of ceramics, textiles, & other objects that accompanied the 100s of funerary bundles found there. Multiple styles of ceramics - Paracas, Topará, & early Nasca - have been found together in a single tomb by archaeologists, suggesting that multiple communities of producers, each w/ their own techniques, palette, & image repertoire, did not only exist simultaneously but also provided wares for the same families.”

composite photo of two views of the fox vessel and its gallery label “The anthropomorphic fox on this effigy vessel wears a large disc headdress associated with the Ritual Runners, figures shown racing through the desert landscape in many examples of Moche art. Similar discs in gold and copper have been found in elite burials, suggesting that the Ritual Runners were a high-ranking group of adult males, possibly priests, who participated in special ceremonies throughout the Moche territory. Scholars believe that Moche priests consumed the hallucinogenic San Pedro cactus (Echinopsis pachanoi) to transform themselves into animal spirit helpers such as the fox.”

Composite photo of the pair of fox sculptures and the gallery label “Pairs of fox sculptures, usually made of stone, are seen all over Japan guarding entrances to shrines for the worship of Inari, Shinto deity of farming and rice cultivation. This pair is unique for being carved in wood. Recently discovered at the Kiyama shrine in Okayama, these sculptures are rare survivors from the medieval era. One fox holds in its mouth a treasure ball symbolizing Inari's sacred rice granary (or treasury), while the other holds the key to the granary, expressing worshippers hope to share in Inari's miraculous power.”

Meet Sven and Freya, our adorable Arctic foxes, for #NationalFoxDay! 🦊 Sven was rescued from an illegal pet situation and now spends his days digging, exploring, and enjoying enrichments. Two-year-old Freya, who joined Sven last spring, is curious and clever and has settled right in.
It's #nationalfoxday which means I get to show off the most important, most bestest fox to ever fox: My beloved @kirafox.bsky.social <3
