Description Edit: GODDAMN dA. If this looks blurry in the slightest, please download. It's sharp but dA likes to resize things Really Badly.

This was one of those things I went slightly overboard on. >3>

This is Teyn, my megaloceros character for ~jinxhellbent 's proposed D&D animal campaign. He's got the same sticker-points-by-accidental-castration thing going on as Tristan : at some point in the summer of his sixth year he's attacked by a big cat and entirely deprived of his ability to reproduce. This would have been the year he would have started to get harems (rather than nicking single does off other bucks), and so when he realises (later, when his antlers weren't doing the proper thing), he's Mightily Pissed Off. Deer in this RP, though obviously slightly anthropomorphised, are very family-orientated and a lot of emphasis is put on Furthering The Line; his inability to do this sends Teyn into a bit of a downwards spiral and he leaves the herd, travelling between others. At some point in a sparring match he loses half of his left antler, and due to his condition it is never replaced. He's still an imposing figure and quite capable of whupping ass, but at 8 years old (9th year) he should be starting his prime reproduction years. Naturally he's quite bitter about this.

I was pondering what to do with the grass, not wanting to do texture, impression or grass brushes, and ~MissNysha 's grass tutorial popped up. I really quite like the effect it gives. :3

Be gentle about deer anatomy: I referenced the feth out of everything, but I'm still very new to it.

If by respected we mean haughty, grumpy and ill-tempered, yes :'DΒ Sorry this reply is so late!

Thank you very much! :3 I was indeed happy with how gloriously pissed-off he turned out.

No problem. To be honest I believe that is the most perfect way to describe it XD

Thanks very much! I did go to town a little on some of the details xD And it's good to know that my referencing a tonne of deer photos paid off x3 Thanks again!

Yeah, fairly...my health seems to some days take horrible turns for the worse, and then others be perfectly normalish...for me. But eh. How have you been?

KatsBrain In reply to QuiltedPanda [2010-11-24 01:08:55 +0000 UTC]

Awwh, still? D: That's pretty sucky. Got any plan of action for it?

Yeah, life's pretty fine. Lots of work, not enough time for dicking about playing DnD, you know, the works. xD

How's education? What the hell are you up to these days? :3

Well, since I've moved back I've been trying to get health insurance so I can see a doctor to try to start getting started on fixing myself.

Haha, yeah, I just now started another weekly campaign for the new Changeling game. It's awesome.

Well, Dad made me take a year off so I can prove to him that I can stand on my own two feet, and to make sure I'm worth the "financial investment." So...starting Fall 2011, I should be back in school. I want to attend the Academy of Art's online program. They have Illustration classes specifically for comic book art, so...fingers crossed.

How has everything been going over in the land of the weirdos?

KatsBrain In reply to QuiltedPanda [2010-11-25 13:08:44 +0000 UTC]

Ah, health insurance. I hear that's a bit of a bitch? :/

Harsh O.o Illustration for comics sounds pretty fething awesome though :3 You should be well away with that already. How is the art going, anyway?

Weirdos are still awesomely weird. Maze, Vicky and I are still having MAD with Harry, which is disproportionately awesome... Uni is a bundle of work, which is exciting but tiring. The puppies are amazing, the mice are adorable and I'm making a plushie of the lamb from Revelations. Life's pretty good. :3

QuiltedPanda In reply to KatsBrain [2010-11-25 13:21:55 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Health insurance sucks. They denied me when I first moved back because of my heart disease. But Obama made this new bill thing where they can't deny you for pre-existing conditions, and as soon as it was passed in like...September or something, I went back and submitted everything again. I'm still waiting to hear what my monthly premium is. I'm kinda pissed.

The art is going fairly well, not wonderful since I'm lazy, but pretty good. I'm looking forward to returning to Uni so freaking much.

What is this MAD? Do I really want to know? Will it terrify me? Send my love to everyone! And Note me an address so I can send Christmas cards! Pretty please? <3

KatsBrain In reply to QuiltedPanda [2010-12-04 01:43:18 +0000 UTC]

Chriiiist yeah, I bet you're glad of the new bill. o.o I hope it doesn't cost too much - still expensive, I take it?

I know what you mean; it's nice to be occupied. I also find that I get more sketching done when I'm in lectures. xDDD

MAD is the RP with just me, Maze and Vicky and Harry GMing: Team MAD Bitchy, to give it its full title. xD It started out as Multiple Attribute Dependant (or something like that), but a large part of each session is our characters bitching at each other. We wanted a very social rp, you see, lots of in-character stuff. It's disproportionately fun. And we have a christmas session coming up, in which our characters will give each other presents. >3> It's bound to be a train wreck.

I just now got approved for insurance...$35 to see a GP, $50 to see a specialist (YAY HEART), and a $1500 deductible from any hospital or testing things. Super happy fun times.

Yeah...I miss doing stuff.

Hahaha, that is awesome. XD I wish I were there to witness said train wreck.

(Pst, I need that address so I can sends cardssssss!!! ) Please?
