I had an urge to draw foxes. What was originally supposed to be some warm-up sketches before I resumed my latest page for DYOS became an unexpectedly detailed portrait of Yulia Nastunyeshyn, a character created for my very own *IOT: The Aftermath*. The game plays host to two mutant races: the iconic "furries" of the Marians, descendents of Neo-Incan gene splicing experiments, and the Kaetif, a term misappropriated from Drakkolupen's *Black Tapestries*, in this case referring to uplifted animals that were an unintended consequence of the Third World War in IOT4. Yulia belongs to the latter. Whereas the Neo-Incans were inferred to be originally human until they tinkered too much with their own DNA (albeit not *so* much that they can't interbreed; see Immanuel de Zorrito), the Kaetif remain genetically related to their original species and are thus far understood to be incompatible with either humans or the Marians. They are described as more 'feral' in appearance than the Marians, and are uniquely adapted to survive in Yellow Zone regions where radiological contamination poses a danger to other races. (Not that it's their residence of choice, mind.)
