Collages are only useful if the trope has variants
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallIt does have regional variants, though I'm not sure if there's any specific visual cues that would pop at wiki size. I think a traditional illustration would be cool to put on the page, but I'm coming up short
Some suggestions that allude to the shapeshifting hot girl part of the trope

Also agreeing. Maybe finding works that show kitsunes with different numbers of tails — one with all nine, and then maybe, say, Vulpix from Pokémon since it has six tails? Can't recall any other works that have kitsunes with less or more than nine tails, though.
Whipped out a collage using 1.2, 4.2, the fox from Yo-kai Watch (decided to put in a non-transparent one), and a Hokusai painting (I would like a classical painting in the collage)
15.1

Alternate replacing 4.2 with 8.6
15.2

Currently semi-active.Welp I got another one (I wanted to add a fox spirit that isn't a multi-tailed one):

This is a little biased as I don't recognize them bottom-left and lower-right foxes but what about Renamon and/or Kurama for those sides? They're not a recent invention and they're Breakout Characters with more established familiarity.
Actually, let's limit the anime-looking foxes to only one and have other media for the other slots for cross-genre depictions.

This trope calls for Asian Fox Spirit, so it makes sense if the majority of them are anime or anime-inspired. Interestingly enough, only one image from 19 is from a Japanese anime, the other "anime" character is from a Chinese game, and the rest are from western works (one from a Marvel comic, and another is a concept art of a BG character from a CGI family film).
Also, There Is No Such Thing as Notability. IP chooses their images based on how well the images fit the trope and not by how notable the work is (in fact I'm not exactly familiar with one of the characters you mentioned - I'm assuming it's a Digimon based on the name).

When I say "anime-inspired", I refer to Chinese and Korean manhua/manhwas acquiring Japanese art style as their style—and Honkai is especially guilty of this—but adding no flair to help it stand out. A shame because both cultures had their own visual styles before anime became a craze (pieces of historical artwork even include their versions of the Asian Fox Spirit). That's no excuse to limit the definition of "Asian" to just "anime" without being creative. Especially when objectified fox girls in anime are exhausted, being "Asian Fox Spirit" doesn't mean Xerox copy anime girls, add fox ears and a tail, and call it a day. As an example, the huli jing in Love, Death & Robots has a Chinese ink-spired art style, a normal spirit fox, and a cyborg fox

For context, this is Renamon from Digimon Tamers, and yes, a Digimon.

As pointed out here
, the post asks if it's being used without permission. The thread that picked this image
was way back in 2013.
Looking at the Image Source.Arts page and going to the linked page there's this notice (roughly translated):
There is a watermark on it but I've got some suggestions if we want something from a work instead:
Current
1.1 — Nine-Tailed Fox card from Yu-Gi-Oh!:
1.2 — Kumiho from Death Of Dr Strange White Fox
1.3 — Jiu Wei Hu from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
