Probably my best make, from a fanfiction idea I had of a trainer taking pictures of their cute Ninetales. I also kinda wish there were more Ninetales, both feral and anthro. I have a feeling this might be my best for a while, since it seems closeups like this always gets more detail, not that I'm complaining.

...any tips for me to do better though? I didn't use GIMP for this, and I wonder if I should've. I'm open to any feedback tbh.

The model I used is Redwater: https://civitai.com/models/160293/redwater

Prompts:
feral ninetails, solo, extreme close up, overhead scenery, trees, ((wink)), one eye closed, eye half closed, [small comical sparkles, cherry blossom trees], small clouds, [open mouth], (golden yellow fur), large fluffy mane, red eye, furry chest tuft, intricate furry body, long eyelashes, black button nose, cream inner ear fluff, <lora:Ninetales:0.7> Ninetales, masterpiece
