From mid 2006.

My second fox anthro. Out with the fur, let's try feathers instead!

He went through quite a few iterations and tweaks from the original pencil sketch to the final coloring as you see it here. In fact, the feathers (and avian-style feet) were the last thing I added before actually coloring it in.

Crayola colored pencils, took about five hours.
