it's been a long while since i drew TEF deer... i felt like figuring out a design for another pictogram of ours (woundedhart), mostly played by a different alter. there are a lot of weird little bits (discolouration, colouring out of the lines, etc) that i couldn't be bothered fixing so we'll say they add charm to the piece and leave 'em there. i wanted to make the coat less plain, but couldn't figure out any naturalistic markings that still looked good/fit my vision, unfortunately.

generally they're a very traditional TEF deer; not really IC, not fully OOC, but a secret third thing, the way many of us played back in the day*. you can usually find them covered in moss, flowers, petals, and whatever else has gotten stuck in their hair and pelt from frolicking around the forest.

you might see them around on this pictogram from time to time:


*little did i know that my "i need 45489 TEF deer to fit my 3459857 different weird moods that almost feel like different people haha" complex as a teenager on here was actually a DID symptom. makes a lot of sense in retrospect lol.
