Under the cut from sketch to final painting

Quote I was thinking of when I did this: "It is sad, that most of us come in to the forest either as lost fawns or as injured stags, as abused does, or as nearly-dead... as prisoners... but we are happy to be released from our sorrows and transformed in to what we are today, Proud."

I was also listening to all manners of harp music when I did this.


Sketch


Painted the buck


Added some color to the background, leaving it mostly minimalistic.


Uploaded to photobucket and added my name faintly to the bottom
