art request ;;" keith. | The Endless Forest

I don't think I've ever requested art before, and I feel like an asshole for doing it now but eh xD If I'm going to make a biography for Keith, the little mini a few of you have seen running around lately, I'd really love some art to put up too. I don't need anything fancy, nothing like that, just...something. Keith is a character that's very dear to me; I've had him around a year now and he's one of my most well-developed, likely second only to Rutilus.

His original concept was (of course...) to be based on an early 70s Keith Richards, but he's developed so much, strayed very far from what he was originally supposed to be. I figure he visits TEF in dreams; that his mind enters the deer 'stored' here for him and brings it back to the forest. I feel awkward telling you guys all this because I'm afraid of him being seen as a 'fandeer', which he really is not, not anymore at least. God, I hope there are no other Stones fans here.

But yes, anyway, after that little explanation. If someone would be willing to draw something for him, a sketch, anything, regardless of how little 'skill' you think you possess...that'd be fantastic.

I picture him as a scrawny sort of fellow, toned yet strangely skinny at the same time, if that makes sense. Which it doesn't. Smaller than the average deer - somewhere between a mini and regular-sized. His legs seem to be too long for his body, and he retains his human face and hair in deer form. reference there, he's the one on the right. It's a...bit of a weird picture of his face but fft. Also his hair sticks up randomly in places, it's all scruffy. And it's black. |:

His eyes are amber/brown. His pelt can be drawn as black or blackish grey; short and scruffy, but longer on the chest, with a small blondegold tuft on his upper chest. His ears are very large, tufted. Black hooves. Barely-noticeable scars on his very lower back/rump.

EDIT: He doesn't have antlers; he scratches, bites, headbutts and shoves others when fighting. |:

asdf I feel like an ass for asking ffff
I could give people writings I guess but I really do find it difficult to write characters that aren't mine, like...insanely difficult. I don't know sdfksdfjh sorry.
