Guardian of the Fox Blade: A Symbol of Instinct and Balance

Deep within the forest of endless twilight, legends speak of a fox who guarded the line between chaos and calm. 🦊 When the world tilted too far toward anger or fear, the Fox Guardian would rise — its tail igniting the sacred sword known as the Blade of Balance . This piece represents that moment — when instinct meets wisdom. The tribal lines echo ancient tattoos of warriors who fought not with rage, but with clarity. The sword’s center stands as the axis of calm within stormy energy, while the fox’s gaze reminds us to move with intuition, not haste. Each curve and circle in the design is a meditation — an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember that even the wildest spirits can find stillness in their strength. 👀 “Sign up for more graffiti-tattoo coloring pages every week.” 👉 to receive a FREE Coloring! https://mailchi.mp/5201ba81d1a4/color-for-balance Welcome to Color For Balance Live — a chill space to unwind, focus, and enjoy tattoo-inspired coloring art in real tim...

I like the way the koi fish moves in and out of the mandala. I used a number of different elements that I overlapped to get this deign effect. Really happy with the outcome and will do more like this for sure.
