Here’s a little something I came up with, been under the weather and lacking motivation but seeing some Japanese prints gave me the motivation to sketch something out, I wanted to get a bit more dynamism and pose, quite happy with it, hope you like it.

Our sheltie collie, Sophie, died today four years ago at the age of twenty-one. We have two new dogs now, skipperkees, and they're a lot fun but i still miss her deeply. I wish I could enjoy something half as much as Sophie enjoyed everything ... :) The ability to see the fun and joy in the everyda...

A Happy New Year to you all!! New year, new Deer I like to say. Got a few friends coming over and beers in the fridge so all good

I too would have liked to see more of the individual Deer characters from the book in the film but can understand Disney wanted to take it in a different direction, I guess philosophical Deer may not have been thought to have been as appealing to audiences. I have an old copy of Bambi’s Childern fr...

I read the book (on Weston’s recommendation) then rewatched the film, having only ever seen snippets, I prefer the book as the characters have more depth to me, particularly Faline whom I found quite mercurial and intriguing in the book. I do love the animated style of the movie I have to confess. B...

Merry Christmas all from a suitably attired Deer, hope you are all keeping well and have a great day.

it's been a very long while since I've had the time or inclination to draw but here's a quick self portrait.

The Reds are starting to grow their antlers back over here, pretty pleased with this snap I managed to get recently, at this time of year they are pretty laid back and don't mind the odd photo :-) They are loosing their heavy winter coat, now summer is on it's way so looked a bit bedraggled, still m...

Sorrow, currently have a heavy cold, very much not bright eyed and bushy tailed. Joy, rereading Moondust by Andrew Smith, a fantastic book about the lives of the Apollo Astronauts. As much about the human condition as it is about the programme itself, fascinating. What each astronaut did after their...

DDeer

A great synopsis Weston, interesting your point regarding the faces, I must confess I found the inconsistency and sometimes unflattering drawing style of the faces a little off putting at first but I soon found myself too absorbed by the tale to take issue with it. It is touching how one of the tech...

Read LAIKA by Nick Abadzis, a good read, interesting to learn more of her story, the early space flights always interested me, and Korolev, the chief designer, I always wondered what he could have achieved had he not died when he did, would the Soviets have made it to the moon, who knows. A touching...

Very artistic composition there Amazee, fresh fish judging by the eyes.

Spring is on the wing here, happy with how this turned out

If you can't find it in your neck of the woods, DDeer, let me know and I'll get you a copy here. Least I can do to thank you for all your art and thoughts over the years. ;) That’s a very kind offer, managed to find a second hand copy which is currently on its way to me, I’ll let you know what I ma...

My youngest daughter called last week on her birthday; she turned 42. We had a really nice chat, and she was especially excited about solving a hoarding crisis so early in her start as chief executive at the local humane society. They had about 35 dogs, mostly puppies, all frisky, funny little scam...

Good to hear they came through unscathed, scale of the devastation is breathtaking, feel for those who lost their homes.

Great name, that website is giving me flash backs of learning html and flash back in the 90s! Got a retro look in a good way!

My gang's still safe, even have electricity ... but this firestorm is the worst in California's history, they say. The news footage is heartbreaking. :( :( :( Glad to hear that Weston, seen reports on the news over here, hard to comprehend the level of devastation, hoping the weather turns so the f...

DDeer

Thanks

I should warn you us deer are very good at escaping. Speed, stealth, cunning and all that.

Get well soon Dayzee, mrs Deer has a sore throat today but on the mend, soon be bright eyed and bushy tailed self again.

Just popped by to say Happy New Year from Daunted Deer!

Thanks both, good to be back, had a tough time recently but feeling more my old self. I was going for a muscular look (most equines are!) need to work on more expressive manes, hair is hard!

DDeer

A fan of Sasha, a great character, clever use of blurring to create depth there.

Not drawn for a while, been pretty burnt out and not in the mood but here's a dapper dappled chap. Stable hair but he's running with it.

hickory smoke sauce is a weakness of the Skipperkee breed.

Hooooray! That’s fantastic news Weston, I take it Skipper is none the worse for his adventure.

DDeer

We had several sightings of our dog today. After four straight days and nights of freezing, wet wather, we're happy to have some evidence that he's alive and active after all. However, he remains at large. So pleased to hear some promising news, here’s hoping you are reunited soon. It looks like he...

DDeer

Thanks for the update Weston, hoping for the best. My heart goes out to you, hope you find him soon.

DDeer

I'm keeping my fingers crossed Weston and hoping for some good news, I hope Skipper returns to you safe and sound soon, with any luck he has found somewhere warm and dry to shelter.

DDeer

Hope the tendons on the mend.

Watching the new Pokémon series, not half bad if you ask me, Mrs Deer a fan of Sprigatito. Got the log fire going, cold here, ground is pretty hard. Watching the Blackbirds root for insects in the last of the Autumnal leaves.

DDeer

Happy new years and brilliant work! From a distance it looks just like a photo - it's like what Impressionist painters did, preying on the audience's distance (and eyesight) to make large brush-strokes appear disturbingly realistic. Also, although it was (probably) unintentional, I appreciate you l...

DDeer

Great pic of Nadia and Daisy, like the line style. I really liked Daisy in the comic, a canine of few words but I think that made her all the more enigmatic. The drawing of Santa is intriguing Harry, like the blurred background, always helps to add depth. Not drawn for a while, too busy I'm afraid b...

Just know that however long it takes won't be as long as it took between Bambi and Bambi II. Bambi was released in 1942 (or as I like to say, when Weston finally came of age. XD) and the sequel was released in 2006. That is 64 years. If I remember right that was a record for longest time between a ...

Playing a few Christmas tunes.

DDeer

Have a great Christmas all!

DDeer

I think you’re right Weston, I’ve heard of the name damselfly but didn’t realise this is what they were, doing a bit of research apparently the way you can tell them apart is size and the fact that damsel flies tend to fold their wings back when resting. Thanks for the heads up! I’ve heard dragonfli...

Amazing photos Chieris, glorious iridescence! I didn't know you got Preying Mantis over there Weston, they seem highly exotic and otherworldly to me. Oh, they were wonderful, DDeer. They were like tiny dinosaurs. Mom let me keep one in a small terrerium, the deal being no more than one at a time an...

Saw this fellow on my wanderings recently, I always like corvids, not sure what variety this is, they seem to have plenty of character, clever birds, we are fortunate to have some Blackbirds that nest in our garden.

These neo-neo-revolutionists sound like my kinda guys. I too like old buildings and am a complete idiot :) It’s good to have buildings of different age architectural styles. I always find it strange in sci-fi when all the buildings on a planet look like they were built yesterday. I’d imagine that t...

Welcome back Weston! Glad that the recover is going well, take it easy! I am partial to an Earl Grey with a dash of milk when the mood takes me. Thanks, DDeer. Still got a bunch of check-ups and I'm on activity restrictions this week, but I can still walk the dogs. ;) Great, how are they settling in?

I am the exact opposite of that statement. When I think of coyotes, I never considered them in the UK. I do know that they are obviously there though like other wildlife. I'm afraid we don't have any Coyotes Amazee, they seem to be confined to the Americas, we don't really have many big predators a...
