Yourself as TEF deer?

Bayleen's picture
Hey y'all, hope you guys are enjoying the weekend.
I'm considering making an OOC, for when I don't feel like being a certain character and just want to be myself in the forest. So I picked out a Picto and am thinking about- if I were a TEF deer, what would I look like?
I mean "TEF deer" as in keeping your human face (or something like it), and then deciding what the rest of you would look like.
And I was curious- do any of you think about the same thing?
And if you have, I'd love to see some artwork of it- I think that'd be pretty cool to see what we all look like if we were thrown into the forest.

I do think about this

I do think about this sometimes. My OOC deer actually doesn't look much like me; I don't think my face fits well on a TEF deer because it's, well, too human. I've always preferred TEF deer with somewhat non-human faces. They still look humanoid, but retain some deer-like characteristics.

Anyway, if I were to make Moonface a little more accurate to myself, they'd probably have some smaller and more princely antlers than I usually draw them with, and more natural colours. They'd be quite skinny as well. I think I'd model them after a white tailed deer more than the more red deer build of TEF deer. Maybe I'll doodle that up in a bit.

Ah cool, and yeah I getcha

Ah cool, and yeah I getcha about the humanoid-human faces. They probably look more natural on a TEF deer body.

also totally didn't stalk your OOC bio-- congrats on the college thing!! I, too just started college *freshman unite*

I have thought about it, and

I have thought about it, and personally it would be strange for me. xD Short, pixie cut hair and a pale face. id be more curious to see it on a harpy, though.

That's a lovely idea. Just a deer to mess around with for fun, rather than role play.

I have an OOC deer but have

I have an OOC deer but have never made a drawing of her so her appearance isn't all settled, but I do kinda have in mind what she looks like. As for her face I kinda agree with what thelittleraven said, humanoid but not completely human, but with my freckles and beauty spots. She is a roe deer - because I am kinda short and the roe is the smallest deer species we have here in Norway - and she is chubby with very tiny hooves because my hands are ridiculously small. xD And I have long, thick hair that often has been compared to a lion's mane, so she too has hair like that.
I don't know how that would look if I ever managed to draw it though, rofl. c'x

My OOC is a horse, but if I

My OOC is a horse, but if I had to stick with the deer scheme, I would not have a human face. Deer face, skull face, or bust.

Actually, I'd probably use an old concept for one of my current characters. Doesn't have any use anymore, so it's just collecting dust, though I'm still quite fond of it. Pelt would look identical to the actual monarch pelt though. Large, branching black tines with poppy flowers and vines. Thylacine skull. Long, slowing tail. Average size though.
Account previously Mjrn, returned to Veedeer.

I have two here but they both

I have two here but they both behave the same/basically how I'm feeling at the time. Or if I feel like playing as a "Traditional" TEF deer or not.

I've also got two because you can't stack spell data anymore :I otherwise I'd have just the one with the set on top/underneath. Razdeer magical girl transformation into KirinRazdeer

Pretty much with both of them I just picked sets I liked and went from there. Razdeer (the "Traditional" TEF version) would actually have my face as a...face/head LOL hence the hair sprouting out behind the skull mask.

(please ignore the blob at the left, I did this in an already open canvas and some of it came along when I snipped it |D)

Since I always hide in my plague hoodie I had to find a way to do the ombre I have in my hair on the fur lol

But I am hardly without that hoodie, it is so. comfy. omg.

@cloudandis: Hah, thank you.

@cloudandis: Hah, thank you. I was sleepy and I guess that slipped into the drawing, I wanted to be in bed but I had classes to go to. If I do decide to make an ooc deer and draw her more, you will see her smile, because I am a smiley person.

ok I DID IT YOU HAPPY NOW?? because I am lol

I wear this cat print jacket all the time in cooler weather. I couldn't find a scan of the original print, so I used Pusheen instead. Also my blood is 40% chamomile so those are chamomile flowers in my hair. Or are they.. growing from my scalp???
Forgot to make my legs shorter because I'd be goat-sized lol now I kind of want to design an actual OOC for myself instead of just having this quick thing. I'd give myself a shiba inu tail instead because shiba inus are LIFE

for a tiny bit of commentary, we see j!n and Khryseis admiring the abundance of durr everywhere. There's Evern, Meredith, Ace, me suffocating squished between Fish and Cato, MarQuee looking to the audience in a very 'the office' manner wondering wtf is going on, Cloud and Kujance are the only two who notice Baddeer who seems to be getting touchy-feely as he's just looking for some TLC.
try to spot yourself lol.
