So deer have this instinct to stand tall and walk like a king when they notice something (a predator) watching them so they look like strong opponents since predators usually target the weakest members of the herd. The baby is doing the Don't Eat Me Walk.

Predators: “How could I possibly eat someone THAT cool??”

Deer actually love to get mashed and smashed into the grill of a pick-up truck on a back road. It's like salmon swimming upstream for them. It's instinctual. Part of their life cycle.

You gotta crash into them all crazy or they can't spread their spores.

When bucks fight over a deer and their antlers get tied together and they die together over it that’s. The level of morbid homoeroticism I’m trying to experience

Okay but what about when this happens but only one of the bucks dies and then the other one has to drag the other's corpse around as it decays, until they're left with only the antlers and the remains of the severed head. In some ways that's even more homoerotic. Like bestie if I died would you wear my head as a crown of your victory which cannot be removed even if you wanted to.

Man, I’m kind of bummed out that the best resources for deer anatomy and body language are all on hunting sites. I mean, it makes sense, but it’s still kind of disorienting to be reading along and then have a description end with like, “…so if you see the buck’s ears do that, stay still and keep your gear from making noise”. I’m not crouching in the grass with a compound bow, I’m just an artist! I just want to draw a bunch of fake fictional deer and deer-adjacent creatures, not put on some forest camo and hunt me a Big Antler Boy or w/e in real life!! 

Yeesh, I bet I’m going to get targeted ads about hunting equipment now. Just another way that the Research Struggle can be really real sometimes.

Here are amazing deer skeletal references by Rico LeBrun! They were created during production of Disney’s Bambi, to help aid the artists.

Forgery of stag-shaped vessel / Place of Origin: Iran / Date: approx. 1900-1965 /  Materials: Burnished earthenware / Style or Ware: Marlik style

OKAY I HAD TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM SO I REVERSE IMAGE SEARCHED HIM. Here's what I found:

Our deer (haha) friend here belongs to the collection of the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, CA. But that's not all! He's displayed next to a friend!

The museum writes:

It is extremely rare to find one deer vessel, let alone two, that are really from the second millennium BCE. One of these is from that era and the other is modern.
Small samples were drilled from both deer vessels and sent for thermoluminescence (TL) testing. (The pink powder in the sample container next to the deer vessels shows the size of sample necessary for a TL test. Samples must be taken under strict conditions to avoid contamination, which can interfere with testing.)
The principle behind TL testing is that some of the minerals comprising ceramic materials, such as the terra-cotta of the deer, absorb natural background radiation at a predictable rate. When the clay is fired during manufacture, these minerals release this radiation. This sets the TL "clock" back to zero, and the minerals again begin to absorb radiation.

This fellow pictured here and above is the only one I find in the museum's online collection and is a legitimate piece, so I'm assuming he's the one displayed beside our forgery up there. Of the legit piece, the museum has this to say:

Vessels of this type, found in graves and identified as burial goods, may have been used to pour offerings or libations. The stag’s face serves as a spout. Although highly stylized and reduced to its most characteristic elements, the animal still possesses a lifelike quality. This particular type of vessel is similar to those found at the archaeological site of Tepe Marlik in northwestern Iran.

So yeah! Art history! I love these funky little motherfuckers!
