¿Why a female fox? 

Foxes are considered to be one of the most intelligent animals in the world. In Western culture, fox is considered a very sagacious animal and it's used as a symbol of cunning in many folk tales. It developed as a feminine gender because women are not inferior as it has been demonstrated through the history of human beings. We have the ability to do things well without brute force. In some situations women are more intelligent and more astute than men according to scientific studies and both genders can be anchored in a concept. 
Character Analysis
For the character's investigation. I took some references from the TV series named '' The Lieutenant '' starring with the actress Maria Fernanda Yepes, a Colombian actress whom I used to admire a lot to stand out in the role impeccably. 

Also, another female character, Leona Heidern from the video game ''The King Of Fighters''. She is part of this concept for her ruthless personality and for being part of a military team called Ikari Warriors led by Heidern, his adoptive father. I also relied on some female soldiers for the gestures and in the military uniforms that exist in the world to extract the color palette in relation to the context. 

Military characteristics

Items: Helmets, uniforms, weapons, grenades, bullets, among other elements ... 
Physical characteristics: Serious, sometimes they appear with painted or dirty faces or with wounds in some parts of the body but their corporal attitude demonstrates that they never surrender before their objectives.


THE EVOLUTION FROM BOTH VERSIONS
The first version had a color palette with sepia colors, among them are the greenish and brown tones. Although in the uniform can vary between shades of blue and red. 

The second and final illustration was made 5 years later since the first one was created. Since my illustration style is cartoony I felt that it deserved a remake with lighter colors and a more prominent pose to look more like a femme fatale fox.
PROGRESS
I am very grateful to Professor Michel Verdu for the tutorials.
