day two-hundred-and-sixty-nine - philippine deer

hi there. so for the past four or five days i've actually been drawing two animals a day in preparation for an eight-day trip i am taking on monday.

don't worry, i am also surprised by my organisation. who knew i could have called this blog 730 animals all along...

this looked a lot better when i was imagining it.

oh well. here's a dark deer from the philippines. they are considered 'vulnerable' (aww), and this one only has three legs (AWW).

apparently the locals eat them, which is always a tough situation to condemn. it's like icelandics eating puffins. you can't really get all haughty about the survival of the animal if it means the local people have no food to eat.

though i would still choose the deer... what's so special about humans?

day two-hundred-and-forty - xmas fallow deer

i'm starting to feel weird posting christmas animals three days after christmas day, but i must reiterate how lazy i am...

(too lazy to spell out how lazy i am)

[except i just did]

i like the baubles but the deer looks quite average.

oh well!

day one-hundred-and-eighty-seven - chinese muntjac

or barking deer

© jem barratt

they have pretty gross faces too

and they're not even the coolest tiny-tusked deers around... take that muntjac!

they definitely have one of the best names though. it's so fun to yell. or to use as a derogatory term.

catch ya tomorrow you muntjacs! xj

day one-hundred-and-eighty-one - irish elk

in the red corner, at 6.9ft tall and with the largest antlers of any known deer is MEGALOCEROS GIGANTEUS!

in the blue corner is CLIMATE CHANGE and HUMAN BEINGS (and unwieldy and high maintenance antlers...).

giant deer loses.

p.s. i now can answer if i would draw dinosaurs and prehistoric megafauna... yes.

day one-hundred-and-thirty-one - red deer

why hello there. how are you today?

© jem barratt

that's how posh i imagine that deer is. now i know i've drawn a deer before but this guy was particularly striking with his foliage millinery so i just had to draw him. this guy i mean.

i think i might draw other animals with hats, as a series. but it will have to be better than this one. it just doesn't cut the mustard (is that a saying?).

catch you on the flip.
