Deer Geminitay - Tumblr Posts
Was making some sketches and decided to draw little fawn Gem frustrated with her wobbly fawn legs.
I imagined her as a very rough and tumble child-- the type to go out and fight a cave spider with nothing but a sharp stick (as pictured) and that she was eager to start running even before she could walk.
I also had it in my head that her deer-centaur parents probably went through several stressful years, because Gem wasn't like other fawns who were shy and happy to hide in tall grasses-- where it's safe for them. Instead, she was trying to fight mobs three times her size, on legs that didn't want to work well yet, giving her parents gray hairs far too quickly.
I'm not as happy with this drawing of adult Gem. The sword arm is wonky-- especially compared to her other arm. Her entire upper torso is just kinda weird and connects oddly with her lower deer half. Her deer legs are just that little bit too wonky to look natural. I'm also not a fan of the colors I used or the clothing style I picked either. All-in-all it just doesn't fit together nicely.
I'll probably redo this and post a better/different version.

I promised I'd make a better version of adult Gem. I'm a lot more happy with this rendition and glad I took the time to redo it.
Her deer body looks a lot more like a deer after I finally sat down and took the time to find a reference photo; also, her pose is more dynamic, her body's more proportional, and her clothes are 10 times better. So much happier with the new version!!!

The Red General and Her Scotts
These are the more blah photos I took of the work.
And here beneath are some of the wonky photos that I was experimenting with. I think I actually prefer the first photo of the wonky three shown below.
Gem was a destructive force in episode 7 and I can't get over how many players were eliminated in one fell swoop.
She facilitated a literal massacre in a zombie apocalypse and I couldn't be more hyped for her being a red name.
