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.

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!

I respect people who paint deer. A copy of 'The Monarch of the Glen' hangs in my room, it's my favourite painting.

Hello, I would just like to ask a quick question--
Would this character be acceptable at all for your group? [link]
I based the legs upon cervine anatomy but I'm not sure if that is enough for him to be submission material so I thought that I'd ask before trying to submit anything.

Glancing through your gallery, it appears that the character is a wolf/canine. So I would have to respecfully decline. This group is for deer only.
But thanks for your very polite inquiry. :)

I see you do have some deer characters in your gallery though, and we'd be happy to feature those! ;)
