The way you drew it is just top notch! It's just as awesome as homfrog's version. I have two complaints, though.
In the article, it says THE DEER's "halo" is made of metal spheres and countless ice particles. That looks like fire to me, not ice. I would have gone with lots of tiny rhombuses to represent the ice particles, myself.
Also, the expression. Djoric said that THE DEER's most frequent expression is "impassive". The way you drew its only visible eye makes it look kind of shocked, in pain or weeping, at least to me. I would suggest making it's neck as straight as a member of Victorian elite, it's eye less bulged out and facing forward and a simplistic mouth with a tiny curve downward at the end to portray its impassiveness.
All in all, though, excellent work!

Well, I'm aware of those details, but decided to alter some of them for it to look good, or so that I myself like it better, cause my first attempt at sticking strictly to the text didn't go too well:
But it may be because of my limited skills of course : P

Hey, no sweat! And I agree, this second attempt looks way better. If I look at the second version just right, the eye can look sort of all-seeing. By the way, "limited skills"? Nonsense. However, I gotta be honest, I don't think it would hurt if you tried a different style one day. Not saying your current style is bad, heck no. I dunno if you might be concerned with negative backlash or losing artistic integrity, but I smile when I wonder what you could create if you went just a little bit further. I know I wouldn't mind.
Please don't take my feedback the wrong way, I'm just trying to give you incentive to try something new.
