The Little Blessing That Went a Long Way.

Oddity's picture
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!

Thank you all for such warm

Thank you all for such warm welcomes!
I find it quite fascinating to find such a strong, happy community on the internet! (Maybe I have been looking in all the wrong places?)

If anyone would like their Stag (I'm looking for two, specifically) or fawn (1) to be in my art, I would desperately appreciate your approval! (Steampunk Stag picture ID is my own by the way).

Hope to see you all frolicking in the woods!

Your free to use my stag Envy

Your free to use my stag Envy if you want. I'm not sure if he's what your looking for but yeah. xD

I'm a fawn here, too. The

I'm a fawn here, too. The Forest (and its inhabitants and creators) have also inspired my imagination and warmed my heart. I can't wait to see your artwork! Hope to see you in the Forest, Oddity Smiling

Anjali! I read your last

Anjali! I read your last "Community Events" post, and I was so warmed by it! I know it sounds silly, perhaps, but to go so far to find a friend (sigh) it just warmed my heart!
If you could get a screenshot of your fawn, I would love to use it in my Fawn "sister" watercolor piece!
If you don't really want to, I would also be fine with that, must respect someones wishes!

It's just that, your post was the first one that really inspired me and gave me a good feel of the community, so it would also make a strong impression on the emotions of the piece I want to create (I hope it would anyways haha)

Envy! It would be a privilege

Envy! It would be a privilege to use your Stag. If you would like to send me a screenshot (or other artwork) possibly so I can get a good look that would be fantastic!
I also have a quick question, when I view your page, your symbol is displayed, but when I go to my page, my is still spinning around D:
How do I fix it so people can see mine when they go to my page (a.k.a. so my symbol is stationary?)

Your feelings about this

Your feelings about this community are familiar to me. I also found it to be a tremendous new source of inspiration for my art, and I hope it proves to be a good place for you to come to as it has for me. I didn't expect it to, but it has become something of my home online because I am tired of communities that are so distant and full of uncaring members.
This place is quite special.

If you would like to use my stag, I would be honored. He wears the gray pelt and no mask or antlers. Please let me know if you'd like to know anything more.

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

I will post some ref's of him

I will post some ref's of him here in a moment, but as for your problems with the spinning icon that just seems to be the problem with all new profiles created sadly to say. My pictogram would be what players call a ' generation or series 1 picto' while yours is generation two. They actually, rather recently, updated some problems with the generation twos in-forest, so the Gods are most likely fixing it. c:

He may be to lean for what your looking for, but if not, I would love you to use him in one of your pictures. c:

Tiring of fawns? Nah. They're

Tiring of fawns? Nah. They're so common and implemented in a way that... really, it's just apart of the game. At least I don't grow tired of them. Smiling

Welcome Oddity!

Hi Oddity! I would love to

Hi Oddity! I would love to be the fawn in your artwork. Unfortunately, I don't know where to find the screenshots I've taken...but there is a picture of Anjali in my Community Events post (one posted by Ravus). He looks kind of goofy, however, because he's all Halloweened up! What kind of screenshot would you be looking for? I'll try to get one and post it ASAP, once I know how.

Eyestrain, I believe I am

Eyestrain, I believe I am indeed going to use your Stag!
Hopefully I will have some possible lineart and maybe even some coloring (I work fast) before tomorrow! I am so happy that this community is so inclusive and loving!

Envy I REALLY want to use you! But I really wanted slightly more natural looking pelt set.

Its normal for his species

Its normal for his species {Musk deer} But I understand. c:
If you want, you can still use him, but I give you artistic privledge to make him more 'realistic' how you wish. ^^
Oddity's picture

Oh that is lovely! I will

Oh that is lovely! I will probably just make him all black with white/bluish-greenish accented flecks (give it a glowing effect).
Musk Deer! Makes me giggle. I think of this NPC on a different site that is an Elk named Carl, and they always comment on his muskiness. He's also pure evil, it just made me think of that hehehe

You're from Gaia, are you?

Thank you for considering my stag. Happy painting to you.

Silly airships, Carl is evil, he keeps killing my crew.

ooooh I should have known

ooooh I should have known people on here would be from gaia XD Boy do I feel dumb now!
Feel free to add me: Whimsical Oddity, if the mood strikes you.

It took me FOREVER to beat Carl, and I had to kill everyone except for me and one other person in my crew D:
But I got the antlers in the end :3
And yet, I still hated Diedrich the most.

Hi Oddity; I was just

Hi Oddity; I was just wondering if you still wanted to use Anjali in your work, as I know how to take and post screenshots now. Just lemme know if need any screenshots, what kind etc. c:
