Okay. So anyone who's met Kaoori knows she's far from an evil deer. So.. I have a bit of a challenge or idea for anyone who's suffering any sort of artistic block or writer's block. I'd like to see how evil you can make Kaoori.

http://www.endlessforest.org/community/kaoori-6 There's her bio, if you need it, along with a reference picture. I guess I'd just like to see what people come up with. And if there's no takers, I'm fine with that too. xD

So here I am, NINETY FIVE PERCENT DONE with Sithrim's deer anim, and there's this one little bug where his neck 'jumps' oddly as it moves. But only on the preview/export.

I've been sitting here studying it, frame-by-frame, and it does not happen. It's not there. Nothing happens. ...Until I export it.

I'm saying to myself "There's nothing there... THERES NOTHING F^*$KING THERE!!!"

Yet there it is, in the preview. Mocking me.

I've even copied frames from other deer files, which I KNOW ARE PERFECT, and it STILL happens in the preview! I've even tried closing down everything and rebooting! What the hell, Flash!? What do you want from meeeee!!?

I can't finish this until I fix it; but I can't fix something that doesn't exist! It's driving me mad!

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! *Pulls at fur*

But Flash loves doing things like this. Oh yes. This is nothing abnormal. It's such a horribly buggy piece of software. It's ruined so many of my works that I couldn't even begin to count how many times this POS has made mountains out of molehill tasks.

i wanted to make this post because there is someting i want to say but i'm gonna say it in French^^

J'ai eu pas mal de problème dans ma vrai vie ces temps-ci et j'avais envie de tout claquer.Je me sentais rejeté de tous et toutes et je n'arrivais plus à comprendre pourquoi nous continuons à vivre dans un monde pareille alors qu'il est évident que l'on doit tout changer. Enfin bref quand je pensais que ce monde n'etait qui futilité et absurdité je suis tombé sur une chose qui allait me redonner un peu de cette énergie qui me fallait pour me relancer et me permettre de reprendre ce combat insecant contre cette drôle de vie...The Endless Forest

J'y ai 'recontré' des gens amicaux et chalereux qui m'ont montré que c'est pour pouvoir connaitre ce genre de personne que je continue à lutter contre cette malladie qui est la vie ^^

Alors pour tout les gens qui m'ont donner un peu de 'banana connection'(en yaniss ca veut dire de la bonne humeur XD) je veux dire ceci:Merci du fond du coeur, Gracias,Thank you et que grace a vous tous,un homme peut continuer de marcher heureux le long du chemin qui le mènera vers la fin de sa journée ^^

I decided that since everyone else was doing fanart to contribute to the community and whatforth, I would -- as time and whimsy struck me -- do likewise. I'd pick either a specific person or a random deer and do a little neck-up shot. Because I could.

My first? Solitari Tonto. Don't ask me why -- he was there. He was also really, really hard to draw, since I had not a whole lot of sense of his character or how to translate his look into my style. I just made him look happy, just because.


I'd say sorry that it stinks, but hey: it's free art. Everyone likes free art, right?

Tune in...whenever, when I do...whomever!

I'm just so outrageously bored (and have been kinda down the last few weeks due to RL), so...

I'd like to contribute to the community some.

If anyone isn't afraid to let me experiment...
I'd like to draw your deer... but not as deer. C:

Instead, I'd like to risk drawing them as I think they'd appear in "Invader Zim".
As a side note: I am aweful at drawing humans... so I will be drawing in the form of the other "alien" species within that show.
(That would include Irkens, Vort, Meekrob, Planet 'Jackers, Floaty cone things, Blorch Rats, Nhar-Gh'ok (which I know would kill me from being very human looking), and other varied aliens that appear in season 3. |D )

Er, though since the Vort look a lot like deer (or fauns, really.) I might mostly use them unless requested otherwise.

Requests so far:

-Tails (done)
-Ravyn (done)
-Jorogumo (done)



-Aegle (done once, again in lineart, and yet again half done.)


AND THE STRAITJACKET.


- Masque, Odin, Aegle, and Mar Sart.


-Scape(cop)
-Radeon
-Rev
-Bylah



Next:
-Kaoori
-Wesker


Bonus note: If you want any specific details that can't be picked up from your deer's normal appearance, please tell me. ^^ I don't nessessarilly plan to be strict about appearances. (so some skin/eye colors are subject to change.)

The rain on my back felt like millions of daggers, plunging into me. My head hung low, my eyes full of sadness, my ears drooping by the sides of my face. I squinted my eyelids together, trying to stop the tears from flowing. But I couldn't. My salty tears mixed with the rain droplets as they ran down my face, dripping onto the moist grass below.
I couldn't beleive it, he was dead....
My old friend lay on the floor in front of me. He was resting in his usual place, on the platform, next to the ruins. The rain droplets were covering his grey matted fur and ran down onto the gashes in his side. He didn't die a painful death, just passed away in his sleep. I found him here this morning.
Serenity and Latte had decided to go home to give me some time on my own. I thought back to the last time we spoke. A shudder ran down my spine; he must have known it was coming, his death I mean. What he had said was this:
'Young deer, please take care of yourself. The forest is darkening...'
I backed away from his body and went to wander around the forest. The forest seemed to share my emotions, the sun was hiding, the birds weren't singing and the deer weren't prancing around. They sat under trees, their heads bowed. The words seemed to echo in my head
" The forest is darkening, the forest is darkening.. "

I trudged a whole circle of the forest and then found myself at the ruins again. I dumped myself next to my friend's body and cried myself to sleep.

My dreams were dark and haunting. I was running through the forest..except it was different. The branches of the trees had no leaves, mist clouded my vision and the ground was dirt. My hoofbeats rang out loudly as I ran across it. Then out of the mist came millions of deer, surrounding me, blocking me in. I recognised them as my friends. Their fur had been torn off in places leaving bloody gaping wounds. They had no eyes, only two hollow circles that stared at me, haunting me. They closed in fullly.

I know this isn't what Bylah exactly meant by her blog but, I want to make everyone who has only ever been made 1 or 2 fanarts a picture. It could be even that you feel like no one really makes you alot of fanart. If you have 10 fanarts but you haven't gotten some for a while or something, I'll make you one. No questions asked. Even if your just feeling down or something... By fanart I mean something that you didn't request or ask for. Don't tell me who you want me to draw or anything. I'll pick one of your deer and do my best. Or if you know someone who has only a few fanart tell me. I feel like I contribute so little to this community. I want to be useful here. I'm sorry I've been mostly an lazy butt. Forgive me? <3

Batch 1 (Masque, Grape, Vala)
Batch 2 (Shyla, Mar)

A long time ago, in a forest far, far away, there lived two fawns. One was the lustrously dappled Sun fawn, who brought the sun in the morning and put it away at night, ready to be brought out again at the dawn of the next day. Then there was the Moon fawn, a hidden, timid creature, who was said to have a pure essence of moonbeams that shrouded her in white dusk, yet she had never been seen before by any adult deer, only fawns could see her. Her job, naturally, was to bring the moon at the dusk, and send it away at dawn, allowing her sister Sun to grace the world. However, there was a single fawn whom she adored, yet he was a normal fawn, and they were forbidden for the Gods to take as mates. So the moon fawn crept into his cave at night, and gazed down at his sweet face, with the bold eye markings and the collection of proud dappled spots that adorned his back. She stayed for every night, ignoring the pleas of her sister to return to the Gods kingdom and pick her mate from them. The fawns grew day by day, and eventually, the Sun and the Moon fawn grew to be beautiful siblings, their beauty sung about by the deer, and passed through legends. The Sun deer had kept her dapples, and her beautiful antlers curved up around a ball of pure flame, matching the fire that streaked through her amber coloured pelt, glinting russet and gold. The Moon deer had grown to be a beauty that outshone the sun, her snow coloured pelt merging into her antlers, which were adorned with deep blue ribbons and curled around her mystically. Her tail had grown like a horses, and flowed down into a pool of silver moons that writhed around her, highlighting her oceanic blue eyes, the colour of the sea at night. Enough about them now, and onto our young warrior, Kali, the beautiful male fawn Moon had gazed upon.

More Soon. ;3

I've tried this before with little success, but... Feel free to ask questions of my deer! They'll answer it themselves, if they can...Though they may lie. If they can't answer it, or if it's for me about them, I'll answer it.

My Deer, for anyone who needs a refresher:
Seed: Generally, a gentle poet, prone to bouts of melencholy but willing to do just about anything. He's not shy, but he's somewhat introverted. He's by a significant margin the oldest of my deer (I'm not talking literally, though that's true there as well. I mean he feels the oldest.)

Hycanith: a sweet and nervous young doe. She's entirely mute, and prone to spazzing out suddenly. She wants to make friends, but generally feels uncertain. She daydreams a lot, and has a mind that's very hard to control. She's very distractable. Underneath her bright and shiny surface are some dark waters; she's young, but deep down is older than you'd think.

Krym: He's generally bold and outgoing, with a bit of a quick temper. He's a simple, friendly sort of guy when you don't get him riled. Likes eating. Krym is a demigod, though he's not fully aware of the capabilities that gives him. He's pretty young, still finding his footing in the world. He has the strongest family bonds of all my deer, and apprecietes them.


But...
I especially want one thing. I feel like I've brought my current set of deer into balance...and what I think I want right now...is to bring Faris back in some way. But, to be frank, he was never all that developed. Beyond his hard-to-handle desire to be knightly (hard-to-handle as in "I was never sure what to do with it") and his love of competetion, most other aspects of his personality were re-used for Krym. So he needs some rethinking and re-working from me...and I'd like you guys to help me by asking questions for or about him, to help me decide who he is now.
If I can't, maybe I'll make someone new. I don't know.
