Island, {not} alone

Inspired in part by Eyestrain's Island (in an ocean). It brings up a lot of feelings for me, so I tried to draw them out. Hope it's okay. ♥

the angle of this is very daring ♥ and i really love the way you portray the mask, antlers, and the lovely colors of the pelt.

Of course. Though I wish I could have given you something happier to resonate with.

I like the look of the colors in the pelt.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

Sypris: Thank you ♥ I

Sypris: Thank you ♥ I didn't think of it as daring, heh. I like portraying the colors of the magpie pelt.

eyestrain: Thank you ♥ ; I think it's good to connect with sad and difficult things as well as happy things, sometimes. Or at least, it's natural to.

Aw... I agree the angle is

Aw... I agree the angle is brilliant.. and the pose, with the legs wrapped around himself.. really captures the lonely feeling. Sad In itself the picture is quite beautiful! I only wish it wasn't so sad, although sad things are also important.

I hope you don't take offense

I hope you don't take offense for this.. I don't mean to make light of your artwork.. I just didn't want to leave Anjali alone.


(Come on guys.. pile on!)

That is gorgeous, Anjali. I

That is gorgeous, Anjali. I love the colors as well, and especially the angle... very emotional.

And d'awwww to gurgelin's addition. Laughing out loud He's never met Zyzzy, and I can't draw, otherwise I'd have him jump in on the snoogle-fest xD

gurgelin: Oh, no, you didn't

gurgelin: Oh, no, you didn't make light of it at all! ♥ Thank you, that is incredibly sweet. ;u; *cry*

Zyzzy: Thank you as well. <3 I really hope Anjali gets to play with Zyzzy soon; I just haven't had much time to be in-Forest at all as of late. But I'll keep a sharp eye out for your pictogram.

It's funny, I didn't originally intend for it to be a sad picture. I like drawing resting characters; I find it rather soothing to do so. I guess it turned out a mix of peaceful and sad, in the end...but more peaceful than sad, now.

i love this.

I've always loved eyestrain's video... i love your take on it.

and i love everyone coming to curl beside you.

When I had read the title I

When I had read the title I actually thought of Eyestrain's "Island".
I really love the face and colors here. And that tail is so adorable, I love it.

I also love the concept of everyone's additions. It is kind of symbolic for how the forest can be sometimes. Deer one knows and even strangers coming to sit with a lone deer and falling asleep beside them. Reading through the comments and finding the add ons made me really smile.

Shanol, eyestrain: Truly, thank you. Your additions make me smile, and I'm especially grateful for that right now. ♥

Thank you too, Kaoori and PrairieWolf. I agree, I really like that aspect of the Forest...the way you can be silently present with another person—no matter how well you know them, or how far away they are physically—though your deer.
