One thing that's great from having my own little strip of forest from my backyard, I naturally have deer wander around. Well, I noticed from experience that deer stomp the ground with one of their front hooves when feeling uneasy/threatened, or issuing a warning to the other animal to "get lost". I think this would be an interesting thing to add to the forest actions. But please note, what I am referring to is different from pawing the ground, the stomp the deer use has no scraping motion on the ground. Also, it is already widely understood as a motion meaning "come here" or similar uses, which obviously is different from "go away". So using paw ground to show this emotion would likely cause confusion.

I have also thought of having a bucking/kicking action added, simply because I think it would comply well with the rearing action.

Of course I don't seriously expect these to be made forest actions, for they come across as violent or intimidating. This could cause problems in terms of keeping the forest in its sense of tranquility, which I understand, so no need to really point it out to me. I just found it worth a shot since I have seen it occur several times before with living deer. Also, as the forest's community expands and already, is very creative in their Role Play, I think these actions might very well come in handy.

I also know that Michael and Auriea are under pressure enough already, between budget, servers, and so forth. So I'm not trying to push this idea too hard. I just think its worth wondering about =)

Also, I would like to encourage ideas from people who have deer in their area, because I think observing them and picking up things from their behavior will let the community be able to bring great new things to the forest. <3333

...what just came over me...but I found myself acting quite unlike myself just a moment ago.

What is it about seeing Amary that causes me to lose all sense of being proper?
Gallivanting around to avoid spells being tossed in my direction, casting them in return. Looking quite silly, even without my looks changed...
Ah, if Cousin could see me now...
He might call me a lovestruck fool.

And I do not believe he would be incorrect.

But I have other matters to write of.
Those dreams of mine have come to an odd turn. I had previously been dreaming of my cousin on his deathbed, but suddenly...it was though a vast leap in time took place, with images of...life.
Not the life of a nobleman.
But the life of a deer.
A stag to be precise.

And I swear this stag was in this forest...
Colored similar to myself, but with tan accents to his fur. And with curving golden antlers, almost as if mimicking the crown of a king.
...
I wonder...

I remain, quite curious,

My pelt is brown with some lighter dots on the butt which also is white behind, I also have a dot on my throat.
I don't have a tail, or.. It's to smal to see.

I has them done! [finally] Just thought I'd dump them here too C: [As if I don't annoy you with my crap enough]

Dumping them all in one blog because the originals are big and this is easier for me.

Hey gang,

I have officially left DeviantART. The last journal entry that I had left up there provided a link to where I now have my art. This journal is now a year old, so those of you who know me there have probably known where to go for awhile now.

In case you're interested in seeing where my art now lives, go here: http://www.vinovas.com/en/portfolio/Shadowfire

As you may know, I am in graduate school. This is totally different from undergraduate college where you show up to class, do your work, and get a grade. Graduate school is much more than that. In my field (human factors), I have to publish research and do labwork in addition to coursework, and graduate coursework is much more difficult than undergraduate coursework. I'm not trying to scare anyone off getting a Master's or a PhD, but I want you to understand how much of my time it takes. It is not just a "job." It's my life[, and my success in my field in contingent upon my giving everything I have to my work. This means making sacrifices and prioritizing, and I really need simplicity in my life where I can find it.

I'm not leaving TEF, so don't panic. I still love this interactive program.
