Tried a little different approach to the "skull mask" with this one.

I really wanted to draw all those cute little birds that land on your antlers and flit all around. Adorable.

Ah... I absolutely adore

Ah... I absolutely adore this. <3 Your images always have this beautiful storybook-illustration-feel in them which I love, and I have always loved the little birds that land on antlers.... I only wish they would stay on when you stand up and walk around. Also, I really like what you did with the skull-mask and other markings on him... did I say that I love his antlers and those flowers too?
You draw such lovely, natural-looking deer. <3

Thank you for all the lovely

Thank you for all the lovely comments everyone! Making art is it’s own reward but having folks appreciate it warms an artist’s heart. Smiling

Ephra: Thanks! I was going for cute, so glad I accomplished it. I might play around with this “painted” skull mask concept some more. Maybe it’s paint, maybe it’s his actual markings that happen to resemble a skull, I dunno. Eye

ickydog: Thank you!

kaitlyn: *bows*

Nopje: Smiling

jala: Thanks, I love TEF art and I love seeing how different artist interpret it.

Graveyard: They are sweet little things, eh? I used chickadees and tits as reference. Cute, cute little birds. They are actually so very tiny. I drew them a lot bigger then they should have been just so I wouldn’t loose so much detail on them drawing them so small. Artistic license, eh? Eye

Spyrre: Thank you! You pay me the best compliment. I adore storybook and illustrative art. Art that tells a little tale, even if it’s just a short snap shot of a feeling is always my goal. And I’ve never drawn cervids much, it’s been fun exploring their unique anatomy, beautiful creatures.

Starling: Thanks! I’m definitely going to have to play with this skull mask concept some more, it seems it’s been well received.

flyleaf: Thanks! I wanted the deer to have a “real” deer face, but thought the skull markings or skull paint concept would be different to play with.

Ourania: Thank you Smiling

SnowSauria: Thanks! I’m happy with how it turned out too.

I love the Chickadee bird

I love the Chickadee bird song, the sound always makes me think of my childhood summers.

Here's a youtube video of their calls:
