I figured since they have been popping up a lot recently online, I would draw one. I find these little canines to be awesome. The folklore surrounding them in Japan is fascinating...
I also recommend not buying products labeled "faux" fur, as it often actually fur from these creatures, from the cruel fur industry. I think it is horrible that they would use real fur when labeling it as "fake" fur...
I might make more about these guys, and illustrate the differences between them and the raccoon. The only thing they have in common with raccoons is appearance. They are more related to foxes. Intestingly enough, the actual raccoon, native to the Americas, as been introduced into Japan (1960's?). So, there is even more confusion... especially when I see "tanuki" with striped tails...
