So much yes for this.. I'm also very fond of the blue butt on the front.
Poor thing looks so lost. )8 The deer I mean.

Awh, poor thing. xD

It actually makes me a little

It actually makes me a little irate, a little sad, that this has become the norm.
Somehow society's fads manage to work their way into things, even here.

BIG IS BETTAR.

Still, the issue with the general situation aside, this is adorable and emotionally moving. Little TEF deer looks so vulnerable and alone amongst the forest of giants.

Poor little, actually-average-sized guy :<
I adore the mammoth and giraffe in the background, though!

Been thinking the sameeee.

Been thinking the sameeee. I'd prefer making close to 'average' size characters, only slightly larger but since the actual average is the size of a house... <D

This is both charming and

This is both charming and hilarious. Poor guy, lost in a sea of number 5 giants. There, there little fella, we love you too.

thelittleraven: Haha I'm glad

thelittleraven: Haha I'm glad you think so, and hm, yes, we have. Even though I'm guilty of one myself.

Narina: Yeah it does :c I would too if I was in that situation! Hehe, that blue butt is supposed to be Eph's.

Snowsauria: :') Yeah.

Pandoras: Same, really, even if I have one myself. It does, poor thing.

WonderfullySarcastic: Yeah, ain't easy being small. Hehe, it's like the Pleistocene around here.

Tuoho: Well, can't say much about that, I got Eph X) But yes. Very many!

JackStrauss: Hehe, thanks!

swampmouth: I'm glad!

Tuhka: Yeah, funny how the "average" changes :')

Sight: Yes we do! Poor thing.


on a side note, I really wanted to write "it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it" but uh. Well.

Poor normal-sized

Poor normal-sized deer...Sometimes it feels like everyone's a giant or a mini.

I'm guilty of this too,

I'm guilty of this too, haha.. Lovely work, anyway. Love the expression.

Aww, he looks so lost. Maybe

Aww, he looks so lost. Maybe he might find a friend his size too.

I try to have a mix of sizes in my group of characters. Radish is my biggest boy, but he isn't that much taller then a Caribou. Jest is only a hair taller then average and Lily is a mini. I'm not sure about Gaia though . . . she is still a fawn.

This, Apel. Thank you so much

This, Apel. Thank you so much for this.

[edit] I just want to say that this is my cellphone background screen now too. I hope that is alright. Eye

Poor little TEF deer! /hugs/

Poor little TEF deer! /hugs/ It's okay bud, we love you too!

I'm guilty of this too. I've got....one character that's somewhat "giant". Everyone else is slightly above or below TEF deer's height. I'm loving the mammoth in the background!

Aww, poor lil' deer in the

Aww, poor lil' deer in the land of giants. I suppose a lot of people have at least one big character. x)

The mammoth and giraffe

The mammoth and giraffe killed me. Love this.

Now we just need something for that "smaller than the average deer" size estimate, lol. (8

The giraffe and mammoth made

The giraffe and mammoth made me giggle, too x)

It is pretty interesting how many giant characters there are. I agree with Pandora's statement but I promise I won't provide any more social commentary because I don't want anybody to get upset! It's very cute and, yes, also sad. None of the big deer are communicating with each other or the small deer.
..reminds me of when I go to family reunions!

I've always found this issue

I've always found this issue a bit of a worry....but then I figure I might have too much time on my hands if i'm worrying about /this/

Very cute though xD

Aww, poor thing. I don't

Aww, poor thing. I don't think Falo is too big... I mean, he's the size of a Greater Kudu. Big enough to ride on which was something I was aiming for. But my doe (right now a fawn), Rin is going to be smaller than him. I've never really taken thought to size. I mean, yeah, it can make someone a bit anxious when it comes to roleplay battling or sparring because then size does sort of matter. But it just depends on the character. I made Asfaloth big enough to ride on because, well, he's a big stag haha. I didn't mean it for him to be intimidating during a fight. I just think of it as a bit of a bonus if it does come down to that. No power play involved, though. He isn't immortal, hehe.

LOL. <3

roflcopter. In all honesty,

roflcopter.

In all honesty, this is one of the reasons I retired my larger character.

Hah, the forest is also full

Hah, the forest is also full of fawns and minifawns. -just a random sidenote which I'm sure everyone else have noticed too-
Would love a drawing of them too.

Starling: Hee. Sight: Augh

Starling: Hee.

Sight: Augh yes x_x

PLK217: Yay!

Seed: Yeah, it sure does.

forgetmenot: Thank you!

Carry: Hopefully he will!

Apoidea: Haha, that's totally fine!

Waning-Sun: Hehe, I'm waiting for the first elephant to pop up on the bio page. Any time now, rofl.

Alcinda: Yeah, seems like it. I know I have one at least >_>

jala: Hehe, couldn't resist adding them in. I know there are one or two characters around that would fit that size... I wonder what "smaller than average" is. There are quite a few minis around too hahah.

FishBiscuit: Yeah same, but I can't really say anything since I have one myself :x

IoRez: Yay average-sized!

Freyja: Haha I don't have much time but I worry anyway. Cool

ChainArt: Ah everyone can do as they want, this was just an observation on how many really big characters that has been popping up lately.

Lung: :P

OkamiLugia: Ah. Understandable, really.

Tuoho: Haha, yeah. Might draw something for them too someday.
