Artist's Comments

This here is Teagan, an entry for :iconkatiehorse:'s concept contest.

His standing pose was slightly referenced from this lovely photo here [link]
Although, everything else was freehand, which is probably why his fawn pose looks anatomically incorrect >.>

And though the contest is based on looks alone, I love coming up with bits of information about each character. So I'll give ya a little bit about Teag here.

About the Character
Name Meaning: Means "little poet" in Irish, derived from Gaelic tadhg "poet" and a diminutive suffix
Breed: White-tail
Age: Unknown, but clearly young from the number of tines on his antlers
Stats: Average weight and height, though he tends to lose a lot more weight than average during the fall and winter months.
Info: When he was young he was attacked by a lone wolf. The wolf having gripped his ear ripped it to shreds as he pulled away from Teagan's hooves. Letting go, the wolf then whirled around and latched onto his hind. The experience only lasted a few short seconds and was stopped when Teagan's mother came to his rescue and chased off the predator. He will tell you the experience was all his fault. His mother had told him to keep quiet but he had ignored her after she moved off to graze, deciding to sing a tune in his boredom. He still believes it was because he disobeyed his mother that the incident happened and because of it, he now hardly speaks at all. He needs prompting to speak, but when he does, his voice is a calm, lilting sound, moving like the notes of a song rather than a flat voice.
He is a meek fellow. Quiet, gentle, helpful, and even a bit curious. He prefers the company of males rather than females (though the reason is really unknown. Some make the joke that it is because females generally talk too much and he has nothing to say back to them) and is assumed to be asexual due to his lack of interest in the opposite sex.

omg long time no post! O:
I love his antlers, they're not all smooth like I've seen elsewhere, they're rough and rigid like they're supposed to be :)
If anything (and it could just be me) his legs look a wee bit too thin, feel free to shoot me lol xD

hey I really like this one! your style is really refined now, and the dedication into your drawings show through big time! I hope more comes from this :D


His face matches the persona perfectly, and the anatomy is amazing, deer are such nimble creatures that its easy to make them look fat or skinny. But he's perfect!
