The handed doe

Mis's picture
Ah Verve, what did you do to yourself. We all suffer for art but to change your anatomy for it is a bit much 8(

Also a version with cape and less paint because I had made it and I guess I didn't really like it as much. Even though she'd be more likely to wear her cape right now XD Oh well.
But yes. Creepy hands for Verve.

Well, already told you how

Well, already told you how much I adore this! Mostly how you handled the hand-anatomy, making them for for a deer, really. And your shading, ughn. So soft. <3

HOLY MOLEY! Those hand give

HOLY MOLEY! Those hand give me the creeps! Both good and bad kind of creeps! ouo
I love the paint in this one, so much different shapes <3 Also does it make me a wierdo if I want my ears to look like that?

Anyways, gorgeous art <3

Love it &hearts; Very creepy

Love it ♥ Very creepy and spider like.

Cal: Haha thank you! I went

Cal:
Haha thank you! I went through quite a few hands before I settled 8( XD

Tuoho:

Vinttage:
Thank you!

Blaggy:
Haha, bad Verve! Thank you XD

Flyfleaf:
Who knows! Eye Thank you! Smiling

Ahh! Love this. When I read

Ahh! Love this. When I read about this I couldn't wait to see how it was done to make it still work for Verve (since she always looks so kickass). Mission accomplished!

Love these colors/decorations in particular, too.

when I read about Verve's new

when I read about Verve's new hands it REALLY BOTHERED ME because I was trying to imagine them in my head and they didn't work and sight told me you were working on a picture and i was like wow i really need to see the picture otherwise i will go crayczazy and like all last night i was pasting hands on verve in my head trying to make it work and it was just horrible.

ANYWAY.. I really love this picture and Verve's face markings, and now that I see how the hands look on her I can sleep peacefully at night. The shading is great! And her expression too. Those hands are going to be real handy.

I have no idea how this going

I have no idea how this going to work out anatomically and I'm actually don't care. She just became all the more beautiful.
Great artwork as always!

Ohhh, I like how she's still

Ohhh, I like how she's still walking on the fingers. And how the hands themselves are just so bizarre, but look functional and fitting to the body.

This is very interesting,

This is very interesting, curious to see where this all leads for her. Have to say I looove the hands on her. Wowzas.

Return of the deer-hands! I

Return of the deer-hands! I remember a while ago a couple of people discussing such a topic. Love how they look on her, yo! I can imagine her sewing by the Pond and telling a story to a couple of fawns c:

Are them hands permanent? I know a good number of deer would be curious to know how they could get their own, hehe.

Still really love this. I

Still really love this. I was very intrigued to see how you’d make those hands work with her design and definitely wasn’t disappointed. Pulled it off more than well. Ah, and poor Alcinda, look how you made her lose sleep trying to comprehend how it was going to work! ROFL But yeah, I really think this is your best drawing of Verve yet, her face especially is just gorgeous. I come to look at this often, it’s just really well done. Love it!

Oh my goooossh this is

Oh my goooossh this is brilliant. Had someone asked me to imagine a deer with hands, I probably would've immediately thought centaur. Because otherwise.. well, I'd have no idea where to start. You did a wonderful job on this an I love the colors on Verve (as usual). But those /hands/. They're astonishing. Out of curiosity are the fingers the same material/firmness of a hoof?

Ffff Love this so much ;A; I adore those hands.

Creepy hands. Yes. XD You

Creepy hands. Yes. XD
You always make Verve so pretty with her unique jewelry.

11dollarbills: I went through

11dollarbills:
I went through quite a bit of hands erk. I still think these could use work too but we'll see. i'm not unsatisfied.. Aw you, thanks though ;_; I'm glad her design is liked! The decoration is pretty much based on Meadow's drawing of Verve, reaally loved that one. Wanted to experinent with the thin paint lines!

Al:
Ah good I haunt you at night as I do at day. You think these work a little? :") I mean really, I'm quite aware that this would.. Really not be possible..HAHAH but let's just imagiiiine. Thank youu!
I need to smack you for that pun.

Silensia:
HAHA neither do I. Luckily TEF is a forgiving environment :")
As always? ;_;.... Dang. Thank you XD

Okami:
Yeah phew, couldn't figure out a better way to do it. I mean she could walk on her palms but I think in nature they sort of walk on their toes too anatomy wise. So let's have her walk on her fingers. Good excuse /LAME

Parrot?
Really? Hihi! Glad to hear it though, thanks ;D

Fish:
Yeah I always imagine myself doing that too, whilst I constantly stab myself in the finger 8( Aaand I can't really say anything about thaaaatt.. But I guess you might want to look at how she got them ;D XD which can be done here!

Sight:
That's my goal, making people loose sleep. It's what I do. Aw man thank you ;_; her face is a struggle but I'll slowly get there. T'is heavily referenced right now, but I hope to get her 'model' in my fingers soon. Thank you though, that's a big compliment ♥

Dogtag:
I have another character with hands actually! He has six limbs like a weirdo. I need to try a walking loop of him sometime to show how dang awkward that walks XDD But yeah not centaur! That would look super cool though. Very tempted to draw a Verve centaur now. *Looks at long to-do list* Ahh nope >_> XD
I think they can't bend if they are? XD Or I'm reading that wrong. They'll have to be musculair to keep her weight up, especially if running/bouncing/etc since then they'll get a lot of weight on them.. Otherwise I haven't thought too much about it yeeettt.

Winged:
Aw thank you! I'm glad you do ♥. It was suprisingly much fun to draw even if I just kind of bumped her difficulty-to-draw level up. Le sigh.

Rikka:
Thanks! It's fun to keep coming up with new stuff. Also difficult sometimes hahah! I can get so stuck with it XD

Woah! No way. You don't

Woah! No way. You don't happen to have any pictures on hand of him that you could show me? I'm certainly interested in how he looks! Haha. I think Verve would look very cool as a centaur.

.. I DUNNO (8 I suppose not. Which was why I was kind of curious, and no, you read it right! I guess.. I'm wondering if they're like the hooves in a sense that they're tough enough to handle being walked around constantly, but have little extra joints that make them like hands? And are those little fingernails or claws at the end of the hands that I see? o:

godmaneeet now she can easly

godmaneeet now she can easly pick baheti off .. from her head,bakc . etc. 8(
btw I love this concept realy,hands looks good on t <3

DogTag: Ah sorry I forgot to

DogTag:
Ah sorry I forgot to reply XD He looks like this and a bit of this and maybe this and that one's super old. I have art from other people too. Like that and this one and I could go on a while HAHAH
I think Verve's biggest problem lays in running if anything right now. Bit unpractical on hands but not impossible. In a way they're just very oddly shaped claws.
With no real support. Errrr

Gegreta:
HAHA yes. Definitly the other reason for her to get them.
Thank you <3

It's okay! Wow, I really like

It's okay! Wow, I really like his design, it's very unique. (That "Call my name" piece is fantastic. o_o) Oh yeah.. hmm, maybe she could make herself some hoof-shaped 'gloves' that are fit to her hands on the inside, but hoof shaped on the outside out of.. Idk LOL. I definitely can see how running will be a problem though. Certainly interesting and, again, you did a really phenomenal job on giving her hands. Not to mention that the whole piece, overall, is brilliant. :'D

That actually looks really

That actually looks really ferkin' awesome! I kind of wish my hands looked like that, might make me a little more able to hold a dang paint brush easier ^^

Wow, what an interesting concept! They certainly look good on her.
