Description Name: Noello (No-ell-oh)
Gender: Male
Species: shirehorse/Caribou
Personality: Hard-working, genial, stoic, festive
Location Alaska
Description:
Noello was the product of an alaskan farmer's experiment to see if a horse and a tame caribou could be bred. Born to his shirehorse mother on christmas-eve, this guy was a miricle to survive into adulthood. His mother always taught him to be thankful and never let his uniqueness make him lazy. He always works hard on the farm even using his ingenious rack of antlers to transport firewood. Every christmas-eve he dissapears into the sorrounding forest to run with the wild caribou and returns on christmasday.

okay so i descided i wanted a christmas character to use for a mascot around the time. Im really surprised the antlers turned out so well o.o I usually draw them wonkalicious.. his design has changed drastically over the years, once he looked like an antlerless deer with feathered ancles. now this is his re-vamped version ^^ I prefer it alot more.

MAN I ENVY YOU TO DEATH! You can draw everything. THIS IS SOO GORGEOUS! VERY creative... I mean, just wow. Great design. This is also very realistic. The muscle, she shading, the legs, the hooves, everything is perfection. You are 100% right. Those antlers are just amazing! I don't know how you did them, or how you did this whole drawing. Your talent is just... unbelieveable. Gorgeous work as usual!
