Thank you to you both!! I'm

Thank you to you both!! I'm excited about her. Design still has some tweaks to go through but that's generally it right there, I think. not sure about the stripes but it's supposed to match the DotD pelt. We'll see what comes of it! She loves water, came from the water, so she'll be mostly around the pond I think.

. D'aw it's nothing XD I just like making random gifties for people sometimes. I am glad you like the pic, though. Oh btw do you have a DA account? I tried sending you an email but I am not sure if you can check it since you said something about not being able to use something o3o

No, I don't use DA. I don't

No, I don't use DA. I don't draw at all. I really suck at it. Orin has a friend that might be able to help me re-design her. I'm sorry you took all that time for nothing. I feel like crying.

Dude it was no waste of time!

Dude it was no waste of time! She is a beautiful character with a TEF-set inspired design that is real pretty. I honestly do not see a reason to change her much. I mean I like how you did her underbelly like the DOTD pelt's marking-underbelly smudged to make it shades of glues and greens, and how you made the white lips turn into a white chin and white upper-mouth corner. And the blue on her eyes and the blue on her antlers...those are beautiful.

And you might wanna check your email XD I think it'll make you feel better!

I just replied and I thank

I just replied and I thank you. And yes, her colored parts were going to be shimmery, thought about the colors swirling around like it was metallic dye in water or something close to it. And I chose water because I was inspired by Ird and how he can't leave the water area, thinking he could use a water companion. Plus blue and black happen to be my favorite colors.

Yeah! It really did make me

Yeah! It really did make me think of water. Like a nice watercolor painting or something lol

I do love blue and black in the same design. They also look sexy on birds

I don't think you should have

I don't think you should have changed her design. There are tons of characters that look exactly like sets from the game... my character has stripes. So do tons of other characters. I'm not going around calling people out because their character has stripes too, nor is anyone doing that to me. Because that's silly.

I think they're just yanking you around because they feel like they can, Jun.

But here's a track for you because this character is lovely no matter what.

I've got about 6 votes for

I've got about 6 votes for keeping it the same with the specks, not the stripes. Stripes were too much for me to see on her, haha!

Orin has a friend who is willing to work with me on making a new design though. If she's not absolutely gorgeous then her design will stay as-is because, really, I decided I don't care who they think I am or what I'm doing. I don't care they think I'm ripping them off on purpose, because I'm not. When designs are made using sets, there WILL be similarities. Oh well. If they wanted something unique, they shouldn't have done basic designs off sets and patterns not found in nature. That's how I see it.

And ILY for this. Jun and I miss Ryff.

I think she is pretty as is.

I think she is pretty as is. (sorry i went and got some sleep apparently i missed shit hitting the fan)

<.< i was going to bump the image post but thought better of it.
Whatever you'll pick for her design will be awesome, and it doesn't matter what they think. Smiling


I don't know what the hell is wrong with those guys. It shouldn't matter who they think you are, they shouldn't be attacking you.

. I agree with the above. It

. I agree with the above. It is usually the same case with the "cool popular kids" at school: they nitpick at you and get their friends on you just because they can, have followers, and think they have the power over you to put you down into the dust. But really, they are just making themselves look even more like jerks. And yes, if a design is based off of a game-set then there will be similarities: it is something some people have either been failing to see or are ignoring the fact on purpose.

. I seriously do not think you should change her design. I see nothing you need to change about it, really...she is beautiful the way she is. I drew her because of the way she is. She is a beautiful character: take pride in it!

All I'm going to say is

All I'm going to say is bending to their rules makes it worse, it's your character and they do not have trademark protected designs or colors, not that she looked anything like them besides colors. You're new so you'll soon see they team up on people they don't like, and there are various different groups of them, they almost always win their arguments. Not all, but some of the older, popular group troll new comers, or characters and try to get you to follow their 'rules'.
As an example I made a comment not long ago that most remember about non deer in TEF they responded that everyone has a creative right to do what they want. So go for it, make her how you want don't bend to their opinions or anyone's, you never have to interact with them if they give you shit anyway. That's all I wanted to say.

Tracking this lovely lady ♥

Don't let those nit-pickers get you down. (: There are some members who think that they can push others around and stake claim to things that can't be owned just because they were around longer than other people. Or maybe they just like power trips and shoving others around because they think they can get away with it lol

Oh wow, everyone! I can't

Oh wow, everyone! I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the support you've given me over this! It's a shame drama like that has to happen, but every site has it's downside, right? I was going to change her design, maybe even into something better. Your words of support have changed my mind, and Nerissa will keep her current design. Thank you all so much, and I look forward to many happy days playing Neri and being happy about it!!

After having visited with her

After having visited with her father Narumi had left to take a walk. The rut emotions were tugging her in so many different directions it was making her head spin. She wished she had a doe she could sit with, an older doe. Hell she wished to see her mother even , to have a voice of reason besides her friends who knew just about as much as she did. Her father had helped alot but nothing helped like another doe. It was then a scent caught her nose. A scent she'd not had smelled in ages. Curiously she followed till she found the dark blue doe she knew as a fawn resting near the river. "Ne...um...Nerissa?" she asked hoping she recalled the name correctly. "It is not you surely?" she said tilting her head, the gem on her antlers twinkling in the pale light of evening.
Junalia's picture

Nerissa lifted her head, her

Nerissa lifted her head, her body shaking with the effort. She recognized Narumi right away, and gave a weak smile. "Yes. You've sure grown up, Narumi." She rested her head back down but kept her gaze up at the young doe, the shaking ceasing as soon as she rests her muscles. "It's good to see you again."
TreeDancer's picture

The doe moved closer and

The doe moved closer and settled beside her. "You do not look well..can I help"she asked looking over her worried all her own worries going to the back burner. "I am so happy to see you as well, Its been so long"she said with a worried smile but the state Nerissa was in was far too important right now to focus on anything else like pleasantries.
Junalia's picture

Neri tried a little chuckle.

Neri tried a little chuckle. "I'm alive, if that can be alright. I'm not sure what you could do. I don't even know what's happened to me. One moment I'm enjoying someone's company, the next I find myself in a barren wasteland. No food, hardly any air. But I never grew hungry, and my thirst felt different. And now, here I am, some many months or so later and you all grown up."

(Getting sleepy so I might need to have my next reply tomorrow. )
TreeDancer's picture

(thats ok XD me too ) She

(thats ok XD me too )

She felt for the doe and she could imagine that once Nerissa noticed Naru's burning red magical eye she would have many questions. "Well...do you need food or water? I can get some for you"she said knowing there was some berries nearby. Such an odd event to happen but it wasn't entirely implausible.
Junalia's picture

She shakes her head. "No.

She shakes her head. "No. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I can't hold down food yet. I tried. How long have I been out?" She had noticed the younger one's eye, but seeing as the doe was acting normal, thought to save that conversation for another time. Would it be rude to ask now?. "Please sit with me. How have you been? How is your dad?"
TreeDancer's picture

"A very long time..I...lost

"A very long time..I...lost track really"she said softly. When she asked of her father she beamed wide. "He's well. He is such a proud strong buck. I'm happy to be his daughter"she said lifting her head high. "And look, it is odd but I grew antlers though this is as big as they will get. Dainty things, not fit for fights but I am alright with that"she said with a laugh. "I must say though..it feels so odd being so much bigger then you"she said with a sheepish smile trying to keep the other's spirits up despite how she was feeling.
Junalia's picture

(I tried to reply earlier but

(I tried to reply earlier but the internet kept going out on me)

Nerissa smiled weakly. The doe had a point. The young one was much bigger than she was. However, the antlers hadn't gone unnoticed. "Your antlers suit you well. Delicate yet sharp, like rose thorns. Even if you can't use them, they can come in handy for dire situations. A last resort, if you will." She looks down at the water lapping close to her legs, seeing her own antlers in the reflection. Small, yet bulky and knobby in comparison to the elegance of Narumi's. "You were born of a strong size for a reason. Use it well, and you'll find everything clicking into place. I've always felt there is a reason for everything."
TreeDancer's picture

(mines been weird too also

(mines been weird too also that new design is beautiful!)

She smiled and nudged the other gently."Same for you you know"she then tilted her head giving the doe a gentle expression. It was an odd feeling, having male like hormones during this time due to the odd mix of genes the forest magic had given her. She felt the need to protect this doe who she had remembered from her fawn days. Not so much from a desire to mate, of course, but just a desire to protect. "You were always so kind to me, I'm glad you are back so we can get to know one another better"she smiled wider.

(its that weird mix of testosterone and estrogen in her that gives her male and female emotional traits and some physical like her antlers which is where that came from)
Junalia's picture

She smiled more as well. "I

She smiled more as well. "I would love that as well. I was always fond of you, and your father. I couldn't thank either of you enough for befriending me when you did. I'm just sorry I wasn't there to watch you grow up. I had hopes before, of being there for you if you ever needed anyone." She lets out a weak chuckle. "Now it seems I need the two of you more than you need me."

(Interesting notion, mixing hormones in that way. Nerissa is all girl. Haha! Blaming her antlers on a deformity or something of the sort. And thank you for the compliment. I'm still not happy with it but it is certainly unique, I think.)
TreeDancer's picture

(it is and ya so during rut

(it is Smiling and ya so during rut times she'll have urges to herd does as well as be part of one XD its a confusing mix for my lady haha)

"We'll need you. You were always nice to have around and I'll always welcome your presence"she nodded and gave her a gentle nuzzle and a soft giggle.
Junalia's picture

She nuzzles back gently with

She nuzzles back gently with her bony muzzle. "I'm very glad I met you. Once I'm healthy again, I will do anything I can for you and your father. Your mother too, if she comes around." She wasn't sure if Seti was still around or not, and she secretly wished she wasn't.

(I'm not sure if either of my girls will be able to be involved in the rut or not. It depends if I'm able to connect during that time. Maybe for only one or two days out of that whole time.)
TreeDancer's picture

(aww well even so you can

(aww well even so you can always rp Smiling )

She nodded "My family doesn't spend as much time together as before since I am grown though I see my father now and then."she smiled. "I would love to be able to visit with you and if you need anything at all just ask me alright. I want to see you healthy"she said looking over her body with increased worry.
Junalia's picture

"Mmm. Thank you. I might need

"Mmm. Thank you. I might need your help for a little while, though I hate to admit it. Water isn't an issue for me, but some foods might be. Once I am able to keep down more than a few blades of grass, I'll need other things to eat to regain my strength. I'll be fine once I can walk on my own again." She smiles up at the beautiful young doe, taking notice of her eye and antler jewelry again. She truly grew up in grace, her size not hindering her elegance and beauty at all. "You look so much like your father."
TreeDancer's picture

She nodded, a look of

She nodded, a look of seriousness on her face at the other doe's request. "I'll do what ever you need"she said nodding again. At her last words, the compliment the doe couldn't help but smile and blushed shyly. "Really?"she said feeling a bit bashful at a high compliment such as that. "Thank you Nerissa...that really means a lot"she said lifting her head proudly.
Junalia's picture

She nodded, and felt her head

She nodded, and felt her head grow heavy. What little energy she had at the time was now used, and her body begged for rest. "I need to rest now. You can go do things if you wish, but you are welcome to stay with me as well, if that is what you desire."
TreeDancer's picture

She snuggled up to the doe.

She snuggled up to the doe. "Rest, I'll be here when you wake"she promised and gently groomed the doe to help her relax.
Junalia's picture

She snuggled into Narumi's

She snuggled into Narumi's warm fur. So much like her father. "Thank you. I'm so grateful." She said sleepily, resting her head against the doe's side and enjoying the warmth that just radiated off her deep blue fur. It didn't take long for her eyes to close, and she fell into an easy sleep. Her only sign of life seemed to be her shallow breathing.

(Thank you for this!!)
