Hi guys! I've got a leetle bit of spare time in between terms at uni, and I wanted to do something non-graded X) Also, learn a bit about Paint tool Sai (which I love!) so, meet my new deer, BirdBones. I love the idea of visually-descriptive names for pictograms, and I think that this will be something which extends into their personality and backstory, which, despite the tone of this picture, is not tragic!

Thank you! I'm quite fascinated by them too, and the skeletons are especially interesting, given the strange (but ingenious) ways they're adapted for flight. Almost like architecture ^o^

@ Darling (& probably Saosin

@ Darling (& probably Saosin too): Heh, I did spend a lot of time getting those ears right ^-^; It's also why I chose that composition/ pose - their ears are quite important, I think, to their story, and I wanted to draw a little inspiration from the first part of the game where you can only see a deer sleeping, before the rest of the game loads. I experimented with the lighting a bit, and it seemed to make sense to emphasize the depth with the light. So yeah - important bits I arranged closest to the viewer, so they were more detailed, not so important bits are further away. (That, and I found a beautiful photograph, of a sleeping/hiding fawn from above. It was almost as if you were the mother deer, looking down at your beb ♥♥♥)

/END LECTURE hahah


@ EternalWanderer: I didn't actually apply a texture to it, But I've been experimenting with paint tool sai for a couple of days, and it gives me a /lot/ more control than I had before in terms of brush control ♥ I love this program ^-^


And thank you, everyone for your kind comments ♥

Gorgeous textures, angle and composition. Urgh, I wish I had more to say, I'm a bit puzzled by my own lack of words. This is really striking...
