Description "See that fine-looking doe ova there? Lucky I am to have her for the taking."
"Oh to think she'd go out with you! Your credulity is endearing but childish. Her looks aren't everything; see, many a buck have tried to court her but were turned off by her rather.... rambunctious personality.... Independent and insolent -always sticking her nose in public affairs! Says she's better off without a buck in the world -thinks herself better than the lot of us. Be a smart chap and keep your distance from her."

The two bucks departed with the latter turning his back on the former and taking the hand of the doe.
"Mam," he said, and turned to face her. "Said that man was bothering you for seasons, eh? Well I think I have him taken care of. How bout we head over to the plaza 'fore we miss the rally? Today you'll be as liberated as any buck, mark my words."

-
Told y'all I would post something original. Here we have an Edwardian mule deer who looks prim and proper but is so much more. While many bucks have wanted her hand only for her looks, the buck who does win her hand is the one who supports her rebellious nature and views her as a citizen, not just a woman. 

For Andibi , a good friend of mine :3

Hey, this is really great --  I love the character and the story alike!  Seems you've read a certain amount of period literature, too -- The sense of that time's language comes across very well.  She's the kind of doe I'd like to talk to, whether at a suffrage rally or in the bowels of some dismal Bowery saloon


This is a wonderful surprise and I'm touched that you would make something for me.  I wish I could find better words, but for now, THANK YOU very much!

Oml I forgot to reply to this.  

Honestly tho you're quite welcome. I don't think of myself as being very literate in terms of how much I have read since there's definitely a lot of people who read more than I do. I just wrote this story from what I do know of the time period and hope I don't mess anything up too much. It actually took me at least a good half of an hour just to think of the idea and write it down, despite what its length would suggest. 
I like this character idea a lot and I would even consider drawing her again if Edwardian fashion wasn't so flamboyant and hard to draw.

No worries! 


Good stories, even short ones, usually take a certain amount of time to set up -- So I'm not surprised.  You've got the talent for it, seems to me!


I know what you mean about Edwardian (and Victorian) fashions -- They're really cool, but such a pain to draw

Oh deer.

That is wondrous, and a story with a twist as well. Love the enormous floral arrangement; one does not see such often nowadays. The scent glands before the eyes may be a bit small, but that is a slight detail.

Well done.

A peculiar coincidence too - spent a good hour with my nose in a modern bestiary trying to identify Andibi 's deer from memory.

I don't draw deer very often or any ungulate really so am not too familiar with all of the anatomical details. I imagine it does come with observation and practice though.

Everytime I see a cervine anthro, it seems my appreciation for the line increases a little.

You continue that trend.
