this is to make me feel better because i've been too lazy to post it on social media lately, just here and patreon :'| idk what that mental block is about.
this commissioner put SO many technical color details and descriptions in his notes, using hex codes and shit, for what ultimately resulted in "normal colored deer"
this was very exciting because it was commissioned by someone who bought an adopt that i sold at a con! and they came back to get a ref sheet for her, having given her a whole personality and background and role in their story it was really pleasing
i also "named" her flaxen just as a way to differentiate all the adopt designs, they were all named fancy words for colors and i told the buyer they could change the name
sometimes i rub that forehead whisker area and sometimes i jiggle his head gently around by it, he never knows which is coming. but he does seem to appreciate both options
icons!
