Trying to settle on a character while im getting comfortable again in The Endless Forest. Decided not to go with my old character Araima, but instead have a stag that looks basically the same (with a few differences -coughfacescarcough-) and name him Aray.
I am very original
Basically he's this big, scarred stag that looks tougher than he really is. (My style just makes him look cute hahaha) Seriously though, he's terrified of nearly anything and would probably run away from a butterfly. I should probably write a bio or something for him.
Keep doing it no matter what, even if you work in another area. Trust me ^^ This is my Level up from when I started playing The Endless forest 6 years ago, and now. :b
Cuz yeah my catharsis over time has changed, now I beat up my poor lad~
Just passing by to tell you all that I think of everyone here almost daily <3 I miss this community so much but arghhh I can't find much time to open the forest anymore. I miss it.
Also Sithrim's fiiiiiine, just a little black-eyed :b if you even remember him
so here it is, Aureus's official design. I don't really like this shading, and I don't know how I did it, but I don't remember how to gone from sketch to painterly lineless. I think a five hour drawing session is a good ease back into art after a dry spell, anyway. Thank you to everyone who watched my join.me while I worked on this. Having people there keeps me way more focused. Without you, I would have probably dropped this before the sketch was finished.
Aureus has a long red mane of thick, silky hair on his nape down to his tail, and can raise a portion of it along with his hackles when angered, frightened, stressed, etc. His vampiric bloodline comes from eastern Europe, so his fangs were referenced from a venomous snake endemic to the Balkans. His antler design comes from his father (a character I brought here very briefly), and since his species in his homeworld is sexually dimorphic in their colouring, he inherited few phenotypic traits (in regards to colour and pattern) from his mother. Since he's a vampire, I drew back the edges of his mouth unlike a regular red deer in order for him to be able to open his mouth wide enough to clamp his jaws around prey at least as big as he is. His jaw opens further, but I didn't want to draw it.
thanks again for being a part
Made a quick design for the new fawn, now it's time to try to get this bab some friends. No name yet, but I'd be happy to hear some ideas/recommendations from you guys ;u;
Since the design of the second character I have planned has been difficult to work with, I decided to try drawing this guy first.
Of course I make an actually deer-headed deer when it's been so long since I've drawn deer at all, just to make it extra hard on myself I guess haha
I'm kinda worried about playing this guy eventually though since he will be kinda abrasive/antagonistic, so I may stick to mainly the other character I have planned ;u;
hnngh I am so sorry for spamming the Recent Posts area of the site DX
This is for Wendingo It was originally going to be a commission, but some complications forced it to be cancelled. I felt that I should finish the illustration anyway, just so they could have at least a reference for their character color-wise, and I also thought it'd help cheer them up ^^I am sorry if I butchered the markings too much, I took advantage of my artistic freedom with them, a bit too much perhaps. XD
I hope you like it! This one's on the house! /shot
