No, it's not the Cadmean vixen; it's  vixyyfox, taking a break from exploring yet another fantastic land to share a tale from her many travels with us!

In Oklahoma City a few weeks back, I stopped by the local museum and saw a great little exhibit on 18th century Venetian art where an entire gallery was dedicated to these sorts of Baroque inks of ruined classical landscapes. Despite their tiny size, it felt like each portrayed a whole wide world rich with history and mythology.

Something clicked in my head, and I thought, "That's what Vixyy does!" She has a real gift for storytelling, with the ability to make not only characters but an entire environment come alive. Perhaps it's because, as she will tell you, these places are very real... in one's imagination ;) So there you go: a snapshot of one more visit in her distant journeys (and I tried to use the most flattering camera angle I could, Ms. V!).


If you're interested in checking out some of her work, any of the Thursday prompts make for nice short reads. As for short stories:

fans might enjoy this: The Belmont Pisser
A tale of wartime fighter jockeys, with a Twilight Zone twist! It's a must-read for any fan of aviation, plus keep an eye out for Maude, soon to be released!
fans might enjoy this: Wiggles
When furs and rednecks collide, one man gets caught in the crossfire :3 There's no explicit transformation scene in here, but it's definitely on-theme, plus it's a great read!

-Thanks to  mikakitty for talking me into trying cross-hatching - I think I might have gotten carried away, though (augh, so many lines :S).
-No thanks to the people of ancient Corinth >:l Your column capitals are mankind's version of pinecones, as far as the artist is concerned.


-And many thanks again to  vixyyfox for letting us join you on your travels! :D
