Autumn, Winter, and Spring

Please look under the cut.

These are three of the deer I've come up with. Each deer is designed with a certain season in mind. Here are Borealis, Ichabod Calaveras, and Cirque.



Borealis is the winter deer. This seasonal deer idea started with me thinking that the poppies you can pick up make good poinsettias.



Ichabod has two names, because he has two personalities. He's designed with what ancient peoples associated with autumn.

Cirque's design was made with colorful flowers in mind. I just realized I drew her legs too long.

I have a deer for summer too. I need to fix up his sketch before I post anything though. It looks awkward currently.

These three drawings are actually my first time drawing deer, so they're not terribly good. They were made in order to get my ideas onto paper. I just wanted to post them to show others my ideas, and maybe get some feedback.

Aww, these designs are lovely!
I especially love the last one, that mask looks so pretty with the the little ribbons on the side ^^ Although I *love* poinsettia flowers, so the top one is particularly appealing c:

I like these designs!

I like these designs! Especially the second one. Now I wonder what acient people associated autumn with? It looks interesting! Yes, spring and autumn I like most. Winter kind of seems like the general association with well, winter, but it's not bad! Very lovely job on these Smiling

@ Bayleen: Thank you! I've

@ Bayleen: Thank you! I've been thinking my designs have been bland of late, so its good to hear these turned out well.

@ Zeekii: Thank you! I was actually worried the coloration of Cirque's mask would clash too much with the rest of her.

@ Misako: Thank you very much! Traditionally, the seasonal cycle is seen as a cycle of life, death, and rebirth, which is why festivals such as Samhain were celebrated during the fall. Hence, Ichabod looking a bit creepy.
