Iaurdagnire has fascinated me for awhile now. After seeing the recent image uploaded of him, I had to draw him.
Rather than be obvious about it, I chose to represent the seasons with colors.
*Sorry this is kinda big. I was trying to link from deviantART and full view wouldn't work for me to grab the 800 pixel wide version, so I had to grab the downloadable one that's 1024x768 pixels. Wallpaper size. X]
Did you know that basically the only pics of branch-antlered deer are ones from Zoo Tycoon 2? Those antlers were quite a challenge.
HOLY NAUGHTY WORDS. 8D...
8D... asdkjhlufykehasdkljilfjasd.
... I don't know what to say, really 8D I love it so so much. The seasons, the lighting on him, everything! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *plays with his massively cute hoof-fluffies*
Thank you so so much Pega, this was quite the surprise! You're officially the first person to do fan-art of him with his real-deer design XD it's funny, because today I was looking at your work actually and admiring your style!
I didn't know the well-branched antler deer existed until I was looking through a deer encyclopedia for reference pictures. There was a page with the evolution of antlers, and I was instantly drawn to that particular one 8D they're awesome.
... Just noticed something that I really do love - the way you've drawn the antlers makes him look like a tree <3 XD
8D Yay I'm first? XD The
Yay I'm first? XD
The antlers make him look like a tree? XD I was just trying to follow how you drew them.
I had tree-like marks on the anlters, too, but they seemed to have disappeared. O.o Oh well, seems to look better without them anyway. XD;
Oh, what's funny is, if I hide Iaurdagnire, but keep the highlights layer visible, they make his shape perfectly.
But YOU'RE WELCOME. 8D This was fun to do.
