Description So I was mowing my yard back in April (2012) when I saw a little black and orange jumping spider trying to get to safety. Naturally, I stopped the mower and helped the poor little guy get to the tall grass where I wouldn't be mowing. For reasons I still can't figure out, this simple action got me thinking about Fluttershy. One thought lead to another, my creativity took over, and this scene was formed in my mind. I drew and inked it in about two days, then left it alone until the second of November, when I painted it in one day.

As for the scenario of Fluttershy meeting a buck while gathering purple flowers in Whitetail Wood, or what she did to offend him; I'll leave the details up to speculation.

Doc Martin's colored inks and watercolor on rough surface paper. Painted in November/2012

This is so awesome! I love this! Don't know why I do, but I really like what's going on. I need deer in MLP now, plus I'm also shipping this now...

This just made me realize that there aren't any deer characters in MLP..... o.O Unless I'm totally forgetting something...

It wouldn't be the first time she's bumped into someone while not watching where she's going.

Well, I think it's safe to say they would be more civilized than yaks.

Totally. Maybe they're the type of people who are cautious, peaceful, and prefer to remain hidden, but if threatened, they'll fight back fiercely.

He doesn't seem offended. More like territorial. Maybe there is a tribe of deer that he wants to keep hidden.

This is so awkward IRL. They know they should run, but they're either too proud or terrified to do it.Β 


It'd be a wonderful, magical thing to happen, but I don't like venison

Yaks? Well, that would be... interesting. I'm sure the animators would have a blast with all that hair. I just can't help but wonder what kind of accent they'd speak with.

anaisrandom In reply to The-Wizard-of-Art [2013-06-21 04:49:58 +0000 UTC]

I don't think they would have accent. Deer and elks can be found almost anywhere on the world. For funny, they would have a Scandinavia accent.

Perhaps (like in most situations with bucks around) he was just territorial?

"...well, yes, I realize that antler combat is part of the whitetail cultural experience, but have you ever considered just sitting down and talking over your feelings? You know, with the other buck?"

Heres my idea: Fluttershy is picking rare flowers that only grow in that forest when suddenly a deer pops up. "Stop it! Stop! Your ruining my garden!" he says, before stomping his feet on the ground. "Get away from here before I teach you a real lesson!" With that threat, he lowered his horns at the little pegasi.

Fluttershy, of course, was frightened, and squished herself to the ground, her hooves covering her face. "I-I-I-i'm sorry...I d-d-didn't know this was your garden..." She scooted backwards, away from the plants. The deer began to look more forgiving, but at last he snorted. Hesitantly, he said sternly, "Don't do it again. This is my garden."

I've always loved the idea of deers being in the show, especially since hearing about the episode idea involving a deer family that was told by show writers. But anyway it's a great concept, it's well drawn and painte,d and I have a soft spot for traditional art so I love it! Great work!
