It can't really be nostalgic: I was long out of my fawnhood before I saw candles like these, the size of trees with tops unseen, their ghostly light piercing through a white fog... But there's always something a little nostalgic about being fawns with my best friend, even if it's just a disguise. This time of year is, after all, all about disguises. So we wear our normal spells with the shape of a fawn underneath, our masks sliding off to reveal our laughing faces...

So we had to take it to the next level. Or, at least we tried to get a miniature spell to go with our fawn forms. It took a while, but we eventually reached that point. Then we rested for a while. Does a change in the body lead to a change in the heart? Is my soul lighter for being smaller -- does the past slowly erase itself? I thought about that as I sat beside him, watching him sleep as bright dreams darted behind his eyelids, and his blue brow furrowed and relaxed beneath his mask, struck grey in the moonlight...
And then he woke up and we went running! Well, a little running and a little testing our size compared to stones and logs, vanishing into the trees that were transformed tonight into mushrooms, disguised as we were. Then we dashed to the ruins and tried to play air-sitting games with the big candles, but... It didn't work out. Being so small made aiming hard, but it was very fun to challenge myself. Then we ran through the forest back to our point of origin:

The Big Zombie Deer, asleep on the rocks. To him, we would have been the size of dolls. It was at once hilarious and frightening... so we went and danced with other mini-fawns in a line, across from the normal-sized deer. We danced to backwards musicm long into ther night, until at last I bid Scape farewell and went to sleep.

Hey everyone

Sorry... sorry... sorry...

I disappeared. I want to play this game so bad. But it won't connect. And I think right now I'd rather play the game than do community related things because I feel incredibly guilty about not keeping up with all of you. :C

I still have my crazy job with my crazy hours. But I have Mondays off. And since all of my friends are at work or school, I usually spend my days home alone or out exploring or walking my dog. D| So I HAVE SOME TIME KINDA. |D

And I'm sure my deer are missing the forest. Especially Chenaniah. Sometimes I hear him cry at night. :|


Um.


Um.

I've been drawing a lot I guess. If you watch my dA you've probably seen many of these. But oh well. I tried to pick out ones that I thought this community would be more interested in. (And of course there are a few that are ACTUALLY TEF related D8)

I found out about TEF completely by accident. The Forest is not a blessing in disguise, but a blessing in plain view. The Forest's newest (or fairly new) edition to its friendly family, is my little Odd! A fawn yes, and I know some people quickly tire of Fawns, but the Stags that I met were so gentle and pleasant! Very patient too.
I know this is probably the wrong place to post this but, The Forest has proved to be a completely awe inspiring and enchanting addition to my imagination. I have an art show coming up in April-May, and naturally I'm working my little tail off trying to get a decent collection.
I desperately want to create probably and 18 by 24 watercolor based off of my fawn and some other select deer. I could easily fabricate some, but to truly introduce myself to the community (that seems rather tight-knit), I would love to include some Stags (and maybe a fellow fawn or two) to be included in my art show!
Naturally I would love to share the picture with you once it is complete! I really want to open the community up to be a part of my production! If you are interested, comments are more than welcome to indicate your approval!

Would someone please cast the DotD pelt on Aleit? I would greatly appreciate it... ♥

im just wondering... how do you get the crying mask??
:/
could someone help me get it??

Gonna make him a bio here soon. X3

So I recently got my hands on two awesome drawing books with especially great information about deer, and I thought I'd share a bit with you all because I love this community.

Took forever to scan all of this and I don't know on how much of a thin ice I am moving here copyright-wise, so you better show some love! ♥

Fun fact: You can see my sleeve at times. :B
