Some backstory on one of the races in the Fox and Wolf universe: The Vulpines!
(I'll admit the art is kinda rough, but this is an older drawing. These are just two examples of what the Vulpines looked like, a male on the left, and female on the right.)
Vulpines are an ancient race of sapient fox people who lived on Earth before human civilization appeared. They were a religious people who worshipped something known only as the "Divine Council" which we currently know nothing about to this day.
The Vulpines shared the planet with the Canids, or Dog-Men. Historically, the two races evolved from two different common ancestors (Vulpines value normal foxes as treasured ancestors, while the Dogs saw wolves as that), and they did not get along well at all. A series of wars and instability between both groups led to the Vulpines going on a mass exodus to what would eventually be called Japan by humans in the distant future.
The Vulpines were masters of magic, especially illusory magic, and long after the Dog men mysteriously died out and were replaced by humans, they would use said magic to disguise themselves as other humans. It wasn't always perfect, so it's believed in rare occasions the Vulpines might've exposed their existence to a human. This possibly led to the legend of the kitsune, a wise old fox yokai who tricked humans with its supernatural powers.
The general scientific consensus in this universe is that the Vulpines died out with the Dog men, but some readily believe that they still exist to this day, hiding their presence from humanity. This is the belief of Akira Watanabe, who would do research into them, and ultimately found the relatively fresh bones of a female Vulpine that he took maternal DNA from and used it to create Rei Watanabe in his lab.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I'll add more on them and their relations with the Dog Men in the future!
Can't think of anything else to post, so I'll drop the concept art for a future character in the Fox and Wolf 'verse, The God.
I don't want to spoil too much, but this character originally belongs to a race of alien axolotl-like people that are considered to be the earliest race to evolve in the 5a universe.
The God rules over a place called Null Space, a zone where multiple universes converge on one another. It's home to a floating Backrooms-esque structure where The God operates on an unknown goal.
Stick around for more in the future as I flesh him out a bit.😛
