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.)

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.

Thanks all!

Hi guys!
I'm thrilled that you've enjoyed my two pieces from the Ugly Unicorn project, and this group's gallery is really a treat to visit. Having now had a look around though, I do have a question. Your category descriptions cite traditional art as "Art created without a computer!" This is pretty emphatic. Since you placed my work in the traditional folder, I'm assuming allowances are made for the spirit of the work...because both of my pieces were colored digitally. Now, mind you, the lengthiest part of the process is 100% traditional--I spend about 30-40 hours rendering all of the values out in graphite, and the coloring is another five or so hours putting in digital flats. The reason I ask for clarification is that I would like to submit to this group in future, but would hate to cause a category snafu if some were to take issue with my method of coloring. If it helps any, I consider my work to be mainly traditional, in spirit anyway. There's certainly more traditional in it than digital.

I'm the one who submitted them to that category, and I believe it's where they belong! ;p
If any other admin here disagrees, I'll work it out with them, but for now I think it's 'safe' to submit to Traditional. ;)

I suppose so. There is so many submission into wrong folders it slows the group down a LOT. We'll try to figure this problem out faster, sorry ^^;
