a piece i've been working on in between everything, something with no expectations lol also a nice break from horses and the heat

i want to turn this into a free editable <33

already planned:

different elk/moose/caribou antler variations
floppy ears
fangs
folded bird wings (hawk/falcon/eagle)
Flowy mane
Holiday ribbons/bows
more backgrounds
- ancient wood

This is stunning omg. My fursona is a caribou/reindeer and I don’t see many of those! Or elks either.
Some suggestions for adding:
Maybe a thicker neck fur? If that makes sense! Poofy neck mane.

Oh cooool!! I could see myself coloring in my Fables here c: as most of mine are deer/elk coded! I'd love to see a forest background if there isn't already one. My herd lives in an ancient wood so it would be the bg I would pick for coloring ^^

this is very cute! If you’re up to it, maybe some tail variations? Maybe a down tail or a tufted tail?
