The Endless forest from a fawn's point of view. - Day four, the day of Mercury.

Day four, The day of Mercury.
I didn't have my dream about Maa again. I dreamt of the warm flowery meadow where I first met my new carer, Samorn. The hazy summer days seemed to float by in-front of me, until...

I opened my eyes, and blinked. The air was cold, and the fog was back. I looked around, and sure enough, Samorn's other form was there, by my side. I knew if it was Samorn a heart, someone would be there to guide me. For a while we hazily galloped through the forest, on and on, racing with only the wind against us. After a while, we slowed up. Samorn quickly trotted to my side as I nearly slid into a giant stone feature. She shook her head, then lead me around to the other side of the rocks. The rocks, they had faces. Faces that reminded me of the vision of Maa, and Samorn. Samorn kneeled down, forelock pressed upon the dirt, and a blue air came around her. This must be the air spirit Maa told me about, and I must pray to these statues. She said they were the "Twin Gods", and they were the ones who made the forest, and guide us through our lives. Maybe they sent Samorn to guide me? They must have made Maa too.... I should really rest on it...

I dreamt of Maa again, and remembered her soft murmurings to me. Then I did remember the cold, and knew I must find family like Maa.

When I awoke, something was pulling me out of the grassy ditch I knew, into a beautiful meadow. I looked up, and saw a huge fawn, with Antlers like an Antelope, and a coat dark with gold spots, like the night sky. This wasn't a fawn, or Maa. It was another Doe. A grown female deer, just like Maa. The deer was kind, and gave me some mushroom juice like yesterday's juice. I knew I'd found a friend.

Day two, The day of the Moon.
I dreamt of the voice, and the warm pelt. The soft earth beneath my body, not remembering the cold I was returning to.

I awoke again, the now harsh wind belting down upon my neck. In reaction, without thinking about anything, I leaped up onto my hooves. I had stood for the first time. The voice, whom I decided to name "Maa", was gone once again. My stomach rumbled, I needed the warm juice Maa had called "Sap". I remember Maa telling me it came from the trees, and there were many trees around me. One of the trees has a bunch of growths spouting from it, so I leaned in.... And took a bite. It was the same juice! Maa had told me the right way to go, so I must remember Maa, I must.

I knew this would happen...

When I first join, and made Peirce, I thought, "This is going to be the only character i'm making.". I thought that if I made a new character, I would just completely go crazy with them. I would make a character every five minutes. Soon I would just have so many characters that I would lose track.

When I finally decided to make Voice, I thought, "Well I'm not going crazy." Now I am. I went and made Dareh and Ignaciaqua. And now I have another character in my head... but he seems to... cliche. You would know what I mean if I made him.

I don't know what to do. Soon I'll just be a girl with too many characters. I'm becoming obsessed. I don't want that to happen. I don't want so many characters that I just eventually fail.

I'm still in a battle with myself with which I should make him or not... Either I could make the cliche character and become completely obsessed. Or have four characters.

Seriously... I don't know what to do.

Shape Shifter

Stormbringer, or storm, my deer/char, is just a young fawn. Because she does not have all the benefits of an adult stag, I do not spnd very much time with her. But what i do do is have her sleep and shift as many deer as possible. if you wanted to have your deer shifted, Im on now. Im not asleep yet, but you will find we either in a cage near the ruins, or by the twni gods statue. just a heads up. ^^

Aldana's work in progress biography



~Aldana's Biography~
(A work in progress)

Pronounced Al-dan-ar)
A inquisitive fawn who loves to run and play, either by him self or with others. He has a habit of jumping over logs, stones, tree stumps, sleeping deer...
He also like is dance and do backwards walking and loves it when others join in and do synchronised backward walking.
He is fascinated by the older deer's beautiful pelts and can not wait to grow up and get a pelt set and antlers of his own.

Aldana has no memory of how he came to the forest, however he has a deep feeling he has not always been a deer...

He has yet to find a favourite spot but can often be found jumping over the logs found by the pond over and over and over again.

Hope to see you in the forest, have met a few of you already!

Lol, deer.




For my first two attempts at drawing deer, I'm kinda proud of these. I didn't even use references for these two!

I did a few sketches while looking at references last night, then for these, I closed everything and listened to relaxing music while sketching/lining, until I was colouring. Then I used a few screenshots of my fawn and Artemis' Samorn to get the markings/colours right on both.
