The Price I Paid...

"...for freedom."

Big meaning behind the title.
Toukan (reindeer) was born in a zoo, but he didn't like being kept fenced in, so one day while he was still young, he escaped by jumping a lower, damaged, section of the fence. Unfortunately, he didn't judge the height very well, so his leg got caught. It healed, but not very well, leaving him with a permanent limp. The leg pains him from time to time, especially if overused. Normally he tries to look on the bright side of life and not let his disability get to him, but on some days, it's hard to avoid, when his friends are all running around and he's finding it hard to keep up.
Based on actual in-Forest events.

Hmm, he hasn't met Oisín yet, has he? They should meet sometime. They can limp together. :3
(and, lol, that's the same leg Oisín has trouble with XD)

This is really neat. Kaoori-bum! X3 I love the way you color these things.
And I love that little bird in the corner. |3

@okami90: Don't feel TOO bad

@okami90: Don't feel TOO bad for him. I plan for it to improve some. It already has, but with most things, it takes time.
And thanks. =]

@Her/Allice: Yay, my improvement is showing. 8D I'm happy to hear (read?) that, cuz I'm gonna be doing a lot of digital painting for my senior thesis project. I consider this practice.
They weren't meant to be chibi on the rocks. |D I just failed to make Wesker's mask small enough, so it came off that way. And I have no clue who the brown deer is, but they were asleep there, so I put them in.
I'm gonna laugh at Wesker looking cute, too, actually. 8D

@Paz: They met once actually. Just not for very long, and I was bit distracted via talking on Skype at the time too. It was near the Old Oak one day, and I saw Iaurdagnire pass by as well. It was the day Rev was trying to get near Bylah. I was talking to the humans behind those 2 deer then.
But yes, they can be limp buddies! XD I noticed it's the same leg. That seems to be popular with all the limping deer. O.o Strange how we all think alike in that sense.
I had to put the birdy in. 8D *loves sparrows*

Oh no, Kaoori didn't know. She would have waited for him. ;_;

@Paz: Toukan's sort of an

@Paz: Toukan's sort of an "adopted" in member of the family, so that makes them almost related. Laughing out loud
I'm so tempted to write a story of Toukan's "escape" and how he was found later... Too many things on my "to-do" list. XD;

@Kaoori: I try to have him limp in the game, but it's not always easy to pull off. |D Also why I had him sit down at the Playground after reaching it. But it's ok. Maybe I shouldn't make the scars stand out so much then when I draw him.
Aside from the having trouble keeping up, he enjoyed her company yesterday. =]
