Dama McGillavry by *arikla This piece is stunning, I love how the artist has portrayed a pure, clean white fur by shading the shadows with blue. The gentleness in his face is touching and oddly comforting.

Description
The original song is "Donald McGillavry" and when I first heard it I thought the line was "Come like a White buck, Donald McGillavry". Well, I have since looked the lyrics up and found that is "weighbauk", a set of scales...
But! I was saved! the Fallow Deer is Dama dama.
So, we have Dama McGillavry... the white buck.
the knotwork is in variegated red foil and looks better when not scanned
Holy crap! A DD! Thanks!

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactLike the daily deviation notice pointed out, I like the gentleness of this piece. What's especially impressive is the way you've actually made this deer's clothes look as though they are actually fabric.
My only gripe, though, is the placement of the knotwork. While I do feel it's an appropriate artistic flourish, it would have looked better behind the main figure, which, at the moment, looks "boxed-in", therefore, creating a sense of claustrophobia.
Also, another thing to consider is the shape of the deer's head. Some more subtle shading would have helped to emphasize the form of his face.
In spite of all that, this is a wonderfully well-crafted piece.
