Deer OC help

[Storm 199]

Tyandaga inspired me to make a deer OC so I wanted to so that it was him that inspred me. He likes it x3

But idk what colors to choose. I'm wanting browns or grays...

Any ideas?

@@Tangle, If you want to think up a good color scheme, look at actual deer. Pictures of deer would be ideal, as real deer are hard to come by.

i would do a lighter brown and a soft green eye

My suggest would be looking at real life deer and going from there; that's what I'm done with my deer oc AND my deer-sona.

 

 

Typically go with browns of varying shades.

This is what I ended up going with. I need a name now x3

Sadly that's the thing I'm most picky about.

I find that sometimes descriptive names work well.

I've usually tried to stick with nature-related themes; especially since that's what the deer arc of the MLP-comics went with. Look at these name:

 

From the comics: King Aspen, Blackthorn, Bramble

 

My deer OCs: Autumn, Trailblazer, Cherry Blossom, Scarlet Willow

 

Now, you can go in any direction you wish to, but the nature theme is a good one to stick to.
