While re-reading Marlfox I somehow got this impression that the Marlfoxes were like White Tigers and ancient royal families, terribly inbred all for the vain sake of beauty and purity. Maybe its just my perverse mind, but would you really put it beyond Silth to breed with her brother/father/son to create this brood of ‘beautiful’ children. Coincidence that her mate is never mention and was killed off before the book (there’s a conspiracy I tells ya!) Added to that the fact that the Marlfox brood would probably have to breed with each other to create more Marlfoxes, lucky for us that situation never arose (phew! These are after all still children’s books, its just my sick mind is reading between the lines, haha!).
Anyway, the design for Mokkan is based on a white tiger, albino and other white morphs of the red fox and the books description of the fur being mottled with black and blue-grey patches.
I was also nice to play around with trying to convey the eyes reflecting the moonlight. I used various photo’s of cats eyes and foxes at night for reference.
