For a while now I've really been thinking of making a deer character. I love them so much ;A; (Specifically their mouths, if that's not too weird to like aha)
For her back - Her butt would have the white heart shape. Her back would be the same pink-purple hues, but with white spots too.
Of course I'm terrible with designs, but I tried! Very susceptible to change. I kind of don't like this because she reminds me too much of a dog. I might choose a different brown and work on the muzzle.
Also testing a new style! Well, sorta. I want to work to get a softer style.
Oh goodness, thanks a ton for the critique! :D I wasn't sure that I'd get one on here. I really appreciate it, and I'll definitely keep this in mind when drawing her again!

The feet are the hardest to pull off. ><

She IS a bit doglike- the nose, shape of the muzzle, and overall head structure contribute to that.
Here's some deer snouts:

As you can see, deer snouts taper quite a bit more than that, with the nose being broader and having big nostrils situated off to the side of the nose (as opposed to facing forward like a dog's). The nose takes up almost the entire tip of the snout.
The shape of the head is the biggest problem here, but that's kinda hard to describe with just words so I drew this-

I hope that gets the point across.
The eyes are also on the side of the head (herd critter and all), but changing that for the sake of making it seem more human is fine and probably won't effect the picture too much.
ALL THAT SAID, this is a lovely picture with beautiful colors, and the character is so cute i could smooch her right on the nose uvu
