Here there be more Deer!
Alrighty, I combo'd some of the suggestions so here they go! And I'll reply to some of the comments!
Original lineup

Thanks! I did the least scribbly job on that one, I don't know why antlers kind of give me trouble (and I make so many creatures with antlers argh jackalopes!) I put your suggestion on the top left of the new sketches!
dktragonizer said: I really dig the one on the bottom right, but I also really like the spots on the bottom left one. I love creepy designs. :’D
Hehe me too! (but I think everyone knows that by now!)
neilak22 said: I too like the bottom right and bottom left ones. I like the extra antlers from the bottom right and the body design and spots on the bottom left. :D
Spots are kinda like freckles in that they up the adorableness! :D
I combined both of your suggestions into the bottom one! Thank you dktragonizer and neila!
wordsmythologic said: I like the ones on the bottom right. Of those two, the one to the left with more traits of the right would look good, I think.
I made an attempt! I might make a different version later on too.
Here's the new combinations:

To tell it true, I had rather forgotten about that! There are Native creatures like such in Kellwood though, I just want to do the proper research for anything a little more obscure (I did this with Alps when I first heard of them too) to represent them as accurately as possible. I like the Deer Woman legend though, it's perfectly creepy!
strawberries777 said: I like the one in the middle at the bottom, but the tail seems to be missing. I also like the extra detailed one too. :D
I know what you mean, it looks awkward! I didn't put a tail on it though because I was trying to illustrate it being just the front half of the deer like a halved deer centaur. I did not draw deer forelegs well!
