First of all, BIG FAN of how you draw deers. They look fantastic in your style! 🤩

Also I was wondering, does every individual in the world of Golden Shrike have unique antlers? 👀 I've noticed that all the characters you draw have a very distinct crown that doesn't appear to follow a specific design or pattern (like the ones that are characteristic of the different sub categories that exist irl).

I just really like that detail and the fact that, much like their coats, they're never quite the same from one deer to another. :3

Thanks! Each species do have spesific antler designs though.

Woodlanders:

Fielders:

Stonekrovn:

Marshlanders (older):

Marshlanders (younger):

And every other species not listed too, except for mixed deer who can have whatever patterns. The size and numbers of tines differ depending on the age, but you'd never have a fielder with five tines no matter how old they were. There's a thought process and designs I follow behind every rack, believe me.

Marshlanders are a bit different since when I started drawing the comic, I didn't give much thought into how the antlers would grow from those simple spikes into such complicated crowns. But in the end GS is fantasy and the antlers are already not realistic at all, so they can also sprout tines and twist in ways real deer's can't.

Each species has its own colors and patterns too... All marshlanders are beige to orange and have socks, all stonekrovns are tones of grey and brown, northerners are grey to white, all woodlanders are brown with white tails and dark stripe on it. But sure there's distinctions inbetween every character to make it not dull.

I'm excited to share Jasper. An older woodlander merchant I painted for Fable Craft Game which recently launched on Steam! :) Everyone involved in this project is simply amazing and it was a joy to work on. AD: Andrew Vallas

The cubs have grown their springs and learned how to use their tails as a counter-balance. It has made them increasingly adorable and also increasingly hard to photograph.

my mom said we can hide in the woods, cast ancient spells, be embraced by moss and befriend eldritch creatures if it's ok with your mom

So sorry if this has been answered before but I need to know (ie im making an oc and want it to be more or less accurate)

What is the general stance on trans deer in their society? I highly doubt they have hrt in the wild lmao, and deer differ from male to female, so I'm just wondering.

I suppose it probably depends on the herd.

Answered here to some degree. Some herds are very strict with their members and how they carry themselves, and might expect offspring the traditional way, so transness would likely be seen as a rebellion. Woodlander herd wouldn't be a nice place to be, for example, whereas mixed herds would be way more understanding by default. Stonekrovns don't much care about gender either, and I'm pretty sure Coastians would be fiercely free to be what they are, even out of spite.

Physical transitioning would likely be just getting rid of antlers, or making makeshift ones. They're the most glaring difference between sexes (for most of the deerkind species anyway) and having or not having those would likely cause dysforia for some.

But yeah, reception definitely depends on your surroundings, like it does in our world too.
