Group Info

A group for deer artists of all kinds (traditional, digital, artisan crafts, etc.), those who RP deer or deer-like* fursonas/OCs/fan art, and those who photograph wild or domestic deer. If you love cervines (which throughout history have been considered sacred in religion and folklore around the world) as much as we do, then please join us and share the love of all things deer! :rudolph: = :heart:

For Group Rules and further info, please go here: [link]

(*Note: By "deer-like" we mean: deer-taurs/fauns, perytons and wendigos, the Tariaksuq, the Sianach, the Zlatarog, Hiiden Hirvi, antlered kirins/qilins and other deer-based unicorns, tree-antlered deer, deer-based hippogryphs, deer-dragons/chimeras, jackalopes and wolpertingers--antlered, not horned, AND having hooves as well--and various mythical/hybrid, antlered creatures and people--like Herne/Cernunnos, etc., so long as they have other deer features/aspects than antlers alone. And acceptable fan art would be that of: The Endless Forest, Fire Bringer/Rannoch, Bambi, Rudolph, Stantler, Shikijika, Mebukijika, Shikamaru, Tony Tony Chopper, Keiki, Masamune/Blackstar/Soul Eater, Mime Deer, Mini-moose, Rutt & Tuke, HTF Lumpy, Niko, Elliot, etc.)

Also, since many people have asked us, our animated group icon was graciously made for us by the talented *Lizkay! The original image it is based off of can be seen here: [link] :)

For Your Information

Remember: Following results of our poll [below] we are no longer accepting just anything with antlers to the group! They MUST have other deer features to be eligible.

Example: Deer-based fauns are allowed. Humans with antlers are not.

GUIDE to GALLERY FOLDERS:

:bulletgreen: Featured: ONE piece, chosen by an admin will be featured daily.

:bulletorange: Traditional Art: Art created without a computer!

:bulletgreen: Digital Art: Art created with a computer!

:bulletorange: Photography: Photos of deer, and/or photos of deer crafts/sculpture/toys/etc NOT made by you.

:bulletgreen: Artisan Crafts and Body Art: Sculpture, crafts, jewelry featuring deer, or made from deer antler/bone/hide/etc, and deer-related tattoos/body paint MADE BY YOU.

:bulletorange: Photomanips: Photomanipulations and/or digital collage made using stock photos, and/or free-use images.

:bulletgreen: Writings, Cards, etc: Any artwork which features text as part of the design.

:bulletorange: Icons, Tags, etc: Icons, sprites, animations, stamps, adoptables go here. ALL images with transparencies go in this folder.

:bulletgreen: Refsheets, Dev IDs and Conbadges: Images intended to establish a working reference or to serve as identification for a personal deer character.

:bulletorange: WIPs, Sketches, Speedpaints: ANY artwork that appears unfinished or 'messy'. Usually anything submitted under "Scraps" will end up here. Likewise anything called "sketch," "in progress," "unfinished" and so on.

NOTE: If you feel your piece deserves to be moved to another category you can make your case [politely] to an admin - just note the group. Please include a link to the piece in question, we see a lot of artwork every day!

If you aren't sure where to submit your piece, don't be afraid to ask! :)
:iconkreepingspawn:  Okay, folks, I feel this needs to be addressed.

:star:  ALL artwork with TRANSPARENT backgrounds [.gif / .png] should go into the "Icons, Tags, Anims, etc" gallery.

:star: PLEASE read gallery descriptions before submitting to ensure artwork makes it into the right gallery.
There is also a list of gallery folders and what should go in them on the group main page.

If you feel your piece has been submitted/moved to the wrong gallery, please make your case politely to one of the admins and we will make every effort to address your concerns.  Do include a link to the piece, this helps speed the process!

Thanks all!

None of my submissions have gone through in a long while. Is the group still operational?

I believe the admins are just very busy and rather backlogged at the moment. If you can point me to the specific images you tried to submit, I will submit them for you.

Same here. I hope it's still operational, it's hard to find a deer group with a decent amount of watchers :c

Just a quick question - would you accept deer mixes in the group? Like dog/deer characters?
Reply
:iconswandog:
~swandog 5 days ago  Professional Traditional Artist
Yes, so long as it's more than simply an animal with deer antlers; they have to have other obvious deer aspects to them as well.
