This is an early work from my now discontinued Oasis series. The little fox in the picture is called Faia. The background is a small lakeside town at the bottom of a valley.
The Oasis series started around 2000. It featured cute anthropomorphic animal characters, detailed backgrounds where civilization mixed with nature, and a relaxed atmosphere.
My art skills were severely lacking at the time. Most artworks in Oasis series failed to reflect what was in my mind, and they looked terrible today. Only a few good ones were kept in the gallery.
Oasis also lacked world building, and there was no story. Its focus on cute characters and relaxed life felt like a project of escapism.
At the beginning of 2024, Oasis was replaced by Spirit Animals in Disguise, a project with much clearer intent.
