Black Foxby =Blackpassion777

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Illustrations / Storybook

As we were out a-hunting, one morning in the spring.
Both hounds and horses, running well, made the hills and the valleys ring.
But to our great misfortune, no fox there could be found.
Our huntsmen cursed and swore but still no fox moved over the ground.

And up spoke our master huntsman, the master of the chase,
"If only the Devil himself come by, we'd run him such a race!"
And up there sprung like lightning a fox from out of his hole.
His fur was the colour of a starless night, and his eyes like burning coals.

And they chased him over the valley, and they chased him over the fields;
They chased him down to the river bank, but never would he yield.
And he's jumped into the water, and he's swum to the other side
And he's laughed so loud that the green woods shook, then he's turned to the huntsmen and he's cried:

"Ride on, my gallant huntsmen! When must I come again?
For you should never want for a fox to chase all over the glen.
And when your need is greatest, just call upon my name,
And I will come, and you shall have the best of sport and game!"

And the men looked up in wonder and the hounds run back to hide,
For the fox, it changed to the Devil himself where he stood on the other side.
And the men, the hounds, the horses went flying back to town,
And hard on their heels come a little black fox, laughing as he ran.

"Ride on, my gallant huntsmen! When must I come again?
For you should never want for a fox to chase all over the glen.
And when your need is greatest, just call upon my name,
And I will come, and you shall have the best of sport and game!
Ride on, my gallant huntsmen! When must I come again?
For you should never want for a fox to chase all over the glen."

I've been wanting to Illustrate this song for a long time now. Something about it is really appealing to me, weather the song or the lyrics, or the story IDK but I like it, so have some arts. With a different style thing.

Thank you! I'm glad you like my work, usually most of it is unappealing to our family, for obvious reasons C; I'm glad I have your approval and support, thanks for looking C:

My friend *Lhuin first linked the song for me and then this picture.. And this is just awesome. I really like those colorful linearts and poses. Background is nice too. *-* Fox' expression is pretty thrilling and.. smart! There surely is more in those eyes.

Great job! I have always loved pictures inspired by songs.
