Drawing Deer Species 43/50

White lipped Deer

White-lipped deer/thorold's deer are found in Tibet and Western China; they love the Tibetan Plateau for it's altitude, grasses and shrubs. Their numbers here reach around 7,000, and they are the largest ungulates in the area.

These bigger deer get huge winter coats in cold seasons, thicker than the fur on a moose. Their large antlers can have up to seven tines each!

Distinctively, White-lipped deer have large ears, big glands under their eyes, and large hooves, including long dewclaws (vestigial digits that appear like sharp points on their wrists).

These large hooves make climbing a breeze, and their big nose also takes in extra oxygen, making life at higher altitudes easy. High up in the greater altitudes, they get by with less oxygen than most lower-down animals, and their coat lets them manage against the extra-cold temperatures.

A Moose from Alaska

Moose was well hugged, like most of my patients. Made of french terry, her fabric had worn to almost see through in addition to holes:

The plan was to keep her insides the same (no spa) but to recover all of her brown in new fabric (her antlers and feet were both in good shape).

So the search began for French terry in a good color and here is where her stay got more complicated. I thought we had a good option, we ordered it, and it wasn't traditional french terry at all!

So we searched some more and placed another order and this time, it was a much better match that Moose's person approved:

It looks different here, but it was actually very close to her inseam shades, and matched her original texture.

Here she is mid surgery, when I got to her muzzle. It had been repaired by her person many years ago and was a bit... misshapen. The question was, did her person want to keep the unique shape or straighten it out a bit since she was having surgery anyway:

The decision was made to plump it back up. Here are her chubbiness approval pics, fully recovered, but without eyes (she hadn't had any on arrival):

A bit of research showed her original eyes were very similar to her nostrils, so they got added in and she was ready to fly home:

Looks great! said her person, so she flew home to snowy Alaska!
