Description A partial fursuit I'm commissioning to have make for me. This unicorn is based off a white doe, because I prefer deer-based unis to horse-based ones, like the photo-manip I did. The scanner ate the pastel tones, but her horn and hooves are ivory/bone-colored with a slight peach tint; her mane, tail and "feathering" are cream, her fur is white, and her eyes are brown (like my own eyes), but with blue-tinted, sideways pupils like deer have.

The collar is going to be something along the lines of this one . Anyways, for those of you who didn't know, there is a unicorn "otherkin" side to me, and this is basically what she would look like in anthro form, except that she would have a longer neck and digitigrade legs (I'm debating having the legs on this suit be digitigrade as well). So consider this as a sort-of char ref for her* (she also has a non-anthro form).

*Edit: After lengthy deliberation, I've decided to combine my luna moth fursuit and this deer-unicorn fursuit into one (a char which I've dubbed the "Lunacorn" ), thus the suit you see above (if all goes according to plan) will have fully-articulated luna moth wings.

Edit #2: I've posted an updated pic of Luna's colors and markings here: [link]

I really like this one. The feet would be perfect for me too, on account I like to walk on my toes.

A doe-base unicorn? She looks lovely. And your designs for the hands are just about how I've always imagined anthro deer hands.

Beetlecat will probably have a commission coming from me, eventually.

This is designed beautifully! All these details are SURE to help the maker out! I'm a bigger fan of deer-uni's than horse uni's as well. The drawings themselves are wonderful and very clean-lined!

If anybody can make this suit, Beetle can!

Beetlecat In reply to ??? [2007-08-30 01:05:21 +0000 UTC]

She's very pretty, and it will be a lot of fun translating it into a suit!

The feet are interesting in that they are toe-hooves instead of foot-hooves. The good thing about the type you depicted is that they can be made as small and delicate as the handhooves - fullfoot hooves are forced to be much larger - although they are really the best option for a padded digitigrade stance.

From a realistic perspective, the bottoms of the hooves are a little peculiar. If you'd like, I could scan/photograph the bottoms of a set of real deer hooves for you (and bison too, if you want), as a reference for whatever future projects you wish to use it for.

this is such a lovely design! I really love unicorns, and like you I prefer deer based unicorns.
I hope that, in the future, when the suit is done, you will post photos or a link to photos in your journal.

Me too! But it'll be awhile before she can even start on it, as her queue is pretty full right now (I don't mind the wait, though--it's worth it for her work!).

See how Beetle does it: [link] .I hope to use taxidermy deer eyes, and see out of the duct/gland area in front of the eyes.

Thanks...and there are actually many otherkin/therians on DA, but we can be somewhat hard to find, because most of us are rather shy about it.

Thanks, dearest...I guess I get it from my mom, because she has such lovely penmanship, and it always inspired me to try to write as nicely as she does (which I never quite managed, but at least it's decently readable).
