Visual Summary

Brief Description

A line drawing of a multi-tailed canine-like creature with sharp claws on light paper

Detailed Description

A black ink line drawing on light, off-white paper depicts a creature with animalistic features. The creature, resembling a fox or canine, is positioned centrally, lying on its back or side with its head turned to the left. Its robust body has four limbs ending in sharp, prominent claws. The creature's head features pointed ears, a long snout, and an open mouth revealing sharp teeth. Its eyes are narrow. From its hindquarters, nine distinct, bushy tails fan out upwards and to the right, each rendered with individual lines suggesting fur. The creature's body is outlined with strong, continuous lines, while the fur on its tails is depicted with finer, parallel strokes. In the upper right corner of the paper, vertical lines of text are visible. The creature is the sole subject against a plain background.
