Questions about the Forest (UPDATED)

I've been out of the Forest for a long while. So here are my questions:

I see a lot of pretty screenies of the Forest at twilight and at night, when fireflies come out. When does this happen? Not the misty candles forest, but the nicer calmer nighttime forest.

And some deer are running with me, then they suddenly go way ahead of me. It might be my slow computer, or a trick even the fawns know. D:

And please inform me immediately if you see me on the website, when it's twilgiht in the Forest. I've never experienced it before! Thank you.

Endo's Bio [UPDATED]

Endo has a favourite place- it's unusual. Seemingly an ordinary part of the Forest, he sees it as a hidden secluded glade. He has trouble finding it, though, once he wakes up.
(I didn't make this picture) Endo:



Foal-hood:

As a little fawn, Endo lived a harsh life. He was raised in a secluded part of the Forest by his father and older brother. His mother had wandered away, and gotten lost...he never saw her again after three months. (Put into human years, five years.) His father was very strict, but lazy himself. His brother, a ferocious and fully-grown stag, took to chasing the poor little fawn around their little hideaway for no reason at all.

Adult-hood:

His troubled childhood left a permanent imprint on him. Endo is weaker than other deer and shy. Try not to scare him when you first meet- he'll run away. But his manners are excellent. He prefers to play with fawns instead of other deer, knowing they are usually more friendly. Fawns could never hurt Endo like other deer had. If you meet in the Forest, chances are he'll rear up onto his hind legs, trying to make himself bigger than he really feels. But Endo, despite his misgivings, can be quite friendly.

Family:

He has a new little brother named Batti. They like to fool around in the forest and meet other deer.

The spots of sister, mother, father, and brother are open. He won't mind having a twin either but theres only one pair of famous Twins in the Forest ^^ Don't steal their thunder!

Trust is the hardest thing for him to give to you- earn it. He is not very good socially and it seems to him other deer tend to ignore him more often... He lives alone now. If you see Endo wandering around aimlessly and he rears at you, please run away.

Chart:

Rear: Leave me alone!
Roar: Hello! or Greetings! or he just roars in answer to another deer's roar.
Respect/bow: Welcome. or Farewell.
Nuzzle: Best buddy.

Questions! Questions that need answering...

Having just become aware that there was an online community for The Endless Forest, only a few days after downloading, I've noted something...
Bios for deers.
Many different deer names in the 'Deer Name' section on player profiles.
I'm left feeling a little confused. You can have more than one deer?

Also, when an adult, and your pelt changes color, it doesn't change back unless you want it to? Because when my fawn 'prays' to the twin god statue and turns white, it only lasts a few minutes...

I guess I just don't know how the whole 'roleplay' aspect of the community works, and while I can observe, some help in the form of comments would be much loved.

In any case, I should get back to the forest soon and romp around some ;D

Back!)

I stopped by the Forest just to make sure its still there. Was so nice to hear deer meeee-meeing in the distance. Rain finally streched her legs a bit - she ws sleeping for sooo long... Anyhow it was great to be around as a deer after a bad and busy day...)

Ballet Update!

Confirmed Stories: Many of these were inspired by screenshots, a few by contributors, and all of them are very special. Names are of deer or humans who gave us the idea either directly or indirectly. Thank you!!

Fawn's First Day--in which a newly-wakened fawn gets used to life in the forest (terabetha and Kassy)
Antlers!--in which a deer turns one-month, gets her antlers, and runs around acting a fool trying to get other deer to put stuff on her head
Nature Walk--in which a line forms (I believe Quammy Express is the correct term, yesyes? must remember to ask Q's human) and about fifteen deer stroll around looking at pretty things (Roucaud and Quamar)
Forest Games--in which a cranky stag is convinced to join the fun at the playground (Mr. Red)
By The Pond--in which a shy young deer finds a group of friends near the Crying Idol (JesusFreak3 and Chantico)
My Deerest--in which there is a deer Masquerade, and a stag and doe find each other (anonymous--but we need a deer couple!)
In The Hands of The Twin Gods--in which a doe finds comfort from her cares by dancing with the Two (Lun)

Costumes: Fawn Pelt (Kassy), Ephra Pelt, Masquerade Pelts (Ephra and Lie), Kirin Pelt (Terabetha)

A few of you were kind enough to donate your deer's names and character bios so we could find the stories in the Ballet.

We've got some great stuff so far! Thank you to all who have contributed, and to anyone who wants to throw something in, please do. This Ballet is for all of you...

New Look, no screenies

Well, my deer has a new look and no name. Sort of a night-spirit now.

For some reason my screenshots are not working at all on this computer, even trying to use the print screen method, instead of pressing P. Neither method seems to work to get screenies of my deer, so if you see me in the forest, please take some screenies and send them my way? <3

Random Deer



This was just a random thing I did yesterday, inspired by Fledermaus's vector deer tutorial. Sticking out tongue
Yeah, I know, the anatomy sucks and it has a generic pose and it looks very weird. Especially the hindlegs... It took me whole day to make and that is the best I could come up with. Laughing out loud Well not the whole day, I did other stuff too every now and then but still. Those cracks in the hoofs were the hardest part.

What it means to experience The Endless Forest {IMAGE HEAVY}

Today, I learned what it means to be a deer in The Endless Forest.



To be a deer means to be at peace.



To be a deer means to have time to see beauty...



...that you might not have time to enjoy otherwise, or might miss.



Being a deer means seeing odd things and having time to enjoy them (note the random floating bird).



Being a deer means seeing the sights and discovering places.



Being a deer means realizing that being nameless with no pelt can be just as fun.



Being a deer means realizing that falling in the pond is fun and you really want to do it more. Being a frog is just too much fun.



Being a deer means enjoying wading in the pond...and catching a funny look on your deer's face even though you didn't mean to.



Being a deer means discovering the Crying Idol and the beauty that surrounds it...



...and finding a creative way to bow to it.



Being a deer means running through a statue so you can turn red...



...then bathing in the streams that come from it.



Being a deer means just taking a nice walk through the forest (and not feeling like a deer with a human face).



Being a deer means discovering that running through trees has its own sound (as does your deer slipping). Then, when you go back to the picture, you also see what looks like your deer farting.
