The Fox and the Cheese is based on an Aesop's Fable, The Fox and the Raven. A raven has a piece of cheese in her beak when a hungry fox passes by. He asks for a bite of the cheese, but the raven refuses. Then, slyly, he asks if she could sing for him instead because he tells her what a beautiful sing voice she has. Flattered, the raven croaks out a note, dropping the cheese. The fox snatches it up and runs off with it. Moral: Flattery will get you everywhere. In this painting, I upgraded the cheese to a gem and anthropomorphasized the fox.

Daily DeviationI love the touch of realism in The Fox and the Cheese by ~beckyg. the details of the glove fur and feathers is wonderful, and the fox has a very fitting sly expression. (Suggested by =Pixel-Spotlight and Featured by `guruubii)

“Lost for options?” Xaldin suggested.

“In a tight spot?” Lexaeus added.

“Between a rock in a hard place?”

“In hot water?”

“Verily fucked,” Vexen answered.

“Ah." excerpt from those lacking spines, c
Aesop? Are you sure?
