Yes I know she has antlers but she's a doe. Because I thought peacock doe sounded alot better than peacock stag. Despite clearly stating this on DA, someone just has to step up and tell me that does simply cannot have antlers.
Female reindeer/caribou have antlers. And Artemis's Golden Hind did too, one of the most famous FEMALE deer of all time. But yes, I'm pretty aware that in most deer species, only the males bare antlers. It's all beside the point. I WANTED to draw a doe with antlers. So I did. Peacocks are actually all male of course too. Peahens are the female of the species. Artistic license is a wonderful thing, allows me, the artist to draw it any old way I'd like to.
She has a slim elegant doe neck too.
Daaannng.This is to gorgeous!
Wow, that's lovely. Very nice
In this case I think it's alright to not pay mind to such criticism.
I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

Lovely. I love her face and
Oh this is amazing, all those
Gorgeous! She looks
Thank so much everybody! I’m
I’ve caused so many folks on DA to have a total brain meltdown, by naming this deer a Peacock Doe. It’s funny watching them flip out about it. I’m greatly amused. Greatly.
Oh, and I just wanted to add…I REALLY appreciate this community. I have NEVER been a part of an online community where it seems everybody is mature and polite. Even the very young among you behave like civilized, nice little humans. When a disagreement does arise, it is always followed by apologies and making up. It is a breath of fresh air.
THANK YOU!
Even does of other deer
I love the iridescent face feathers and those antlers.
*Pets her fur* The colour
The colour scheme is amazing. Interpretations like these make the peacock pelt look from it's silly ingame look to a really beautiful set that I love. And you've done an amazing job bringing it to justice. ^^
I admire your art.
Even there is lots of
Psh...people on DA can be
This kind of senseless argument, to me, equates to what people define as what is feminine and masculine in humans. For instance, many will argue that shorter hair on a woman is too masculine, or a particular shirt or color that a man is wearing is too feminine. It's a ridiculous social view, and although the characteristics of deer are more grounded in nature, that does not give people the right to tell you that female deer should never have antlers, ever. That is what makes TEF so wonderful: all of the deer are ambiguous in gender, even asexual perhaps. Gender does not matter in the game, and when it comes to artistic interpretation it should not matter, either.
Indeed, artistic license is a great gift, and no one should tell you otherwise.
...holy cow. So sorry for that long response, but this kind of thing grinds my gears. In any case, I think that she looks very feminine; she has an elegance to her that is very prominent despite the antlers and male peacock feathers. It is a very lovely drawing, as always, and I absolutely love how you interpreted the peacock pelt. Very nicely done! c:
Agh, all the colors...! *dies
She is absolutely beautiful very elegant. The details in the markings and in feathers are amazing. <3
Oh my, she is gorgeous.
*Still staring* ... Lovely.
... Lovely. I love your art. How come it's this beautiful? >:I
HOW BEAUTYFUL!!!
Is that made on Photoshop?
This is absolutely gorgeous.
Tell that person it's fantasy so it doesn't matter.
