Theme
Samurai Fox
Samurai Fox is the 374th Force Support Squadron’s official mascot.
He is clad in FSS-blue samurai gear and is typically depicted as a blue-eyed fox. Draw, paint, cosplay or model our mascot in your style!
Our only request is that the artwork is easily identifiable as Samurai Fox.
The winning submissions will get their artwork displayed in the 2024 FSS calendar and a Horizons main article!

- Please refrain from adding too much text to the image (It is advisable not to add any text)

Tips
Be mindful of the background. Drawings or paintings with something more than an empty white background will have a higher chance of being chosen. Be aware that the edges of your submission may be cropped if the image is too big. Keep in mind that the month’s name will be added somewhere to the image, so plan your composition accordingly.
