More under cut

Yannow, I've been -dying- to have a new character. Deer character, wolf character, anything!
But I've been lacking any good character ideas, really. I mean, sure, I've been working on tons of those adoptable designs but none of them has felt like... mine.

However, out of the blue, this guy's mouth popped into my head. Heck, I don't know how - but I just had to draw it out and all the rest of the guy just came to me.
I've been wanting to create a character that would be all sharp and 'vicious' looking like Cut but less... antisocial and mean. No, I don't think this is your average nice guy either but not even nearly as bad as Cut still.

Also, he was actually supposed to be mainly white but then decided that two white characters are enough.. so here we go with some colors. I'm still feeling horribly indecisive over this matter...
Actually everything here is a subject of change. Except his mouth.
Actually, I'm not even sure will his guy ever be. I'd like him to, but we'll see if he'll turn into anything good.

Oh, and I'm not that sure about those antlers, either. They're kinda boring so... eh.
And oh yes, messy sketches.


How his mouth works.


Color schemes. The lowest is the original color concept... two others are other options. I think I like the deep red one but then again, the petrol one is kinda nice and different. Ahh..!

Some new head marking ideas... I think I might go with the first one, I enjoy the darkness of it.



Annnd this is what he looks like currently. I tried out different markings and colors but somehow I always ended up liking this the most.
I might still try adding more copper/gold...

OMG, I'm super excited to see this, Quam! He looks really cool, and personally I like the middle color scheme the most {especially with that eye color} and closely followed by the darker red one, but he'd honestly look amazing with whichever option you choose. I can't wait to see more of him ♥

dfsdkf you guysss. I'm heavily swinging towards the deep red atm. I'm a sucker for warm colors anyway.. D:
But I don't knowwsdjkfhsdf. I'm going to have to sleep over night and see what I'll think about the whole concept tomorrow. :'D

Love this.

I like that dark red scheme, but the blueish one is very nice too.

This is a lovely design, he looks really interesting. ;; And I adore those sketches that shows how his mouth works, awesome.

I liked all the color schemes, but I think the dark red one is my favorite.
Will be interesting to see him around if you decide to make him as a character! n_n

Dat eye-thingie mpff awesome concept.

About the mouth I'm pleased but kinda pissed off too. Sorry it's not your art, these sketches are really excellent and inspiring, but lately I've seen more and more deers with canines here. We had the skull-madness-time and now this one.. Bah don't pay too much attention to me v3v

Anyway, it's a real pleasure to see your art again Quammy <3
(and why not a golden pelt? <D)

Oo-- love those dark, inky

Oo-- love those dark, inky lips.

His pelt reminds me of crushed velvet.

He's soo handsome, I like the dark red color scheme. Would love to see him in-forest one day.

Hey Kovah! The coding in

Hey Kovah! The coding in your signature is messing up the comments pages of blogs you comment on! Please make sure you have all code tags closed, I suspect it is the one that you've used to place your signature pictures to the left.

(Try and fix this before you comment on any other blogs please, as the effect is permanent!)

Thanks all for the positive

Thanks all for the positive feedback, I'm really excited about this guy, eeee.... Can't wait to get to use him. (8

And Keepy - I feel like I'm 'guilty' on about every overrated fad around here. Been there, done all of that. :'D
Large sizes, skull masks, mean charries, GAYNESS D:... One more thing to throw into the fads basket ffff!
But I also think that in every category there has always been good/well-made and successful characters as well. My Cut isn't one of those as he's guilty of too many clichés in one character but I'm hoping to do better work on this one. :>

(and I did try golden as well. Didn't care for it that much but now that you said it, some golden markings would be fab. D:)

He is a very beautiful boy. I'm fond of the gold/copper edging in his spots. It adds quite a bit of dimension to his color scheme, very pretty.
