Technically when telling an elk from a deer...
Deer Antlers sprout rearward and wrap around to the front (White and Black Tail deer at least)
Elk Antlers sprout a little more upward and curl around and back while remaining uniform in shape.
The ones that kind of toss this rule out on its ear are Mule Deer. They grow more up and out and then just bush everywhichway.
Other antler configurations of note are the moose, which grow one to three brow tines and then a pair of massive 'shovels' for the main body of the antler. In their upper years (generally 7 or 8+ years of age) the one to three brow tines become a second smaller set of forward facing shovels.
And then there are caribou. They have antlers that crow up and back like an elk, but the females also grow a smaller set of antlers. The way you tell a male from a female at fist glance is that the females have smaller daintier antlers and grow brow tines, where as the males have larger heavier antlers and grow a shovel on their primary antler. Yes you heard me right. Like humans are right or left handed, Caribou are right or left antlered. Still trying to figure out why myself, but oddities of nature.
Hope the explanation helped, and if you don't want to see it, feel free to delete it Demi. He is already WAY to expensive, but he is absolutely adorable. Wish I could actually manage to buy one of these.

I stayed there for a month last year, and just sort of fell in love with the country and people I met. I made some amazing friends and recently one of them came over here to stay for a bit and see Canada. All my grandparents are from the UK, so it's kind of interesting to go there for the history and just the general change of scenery... I want to travel a lot :P
ok! i always want to ask first /w\
the main problem is that your elk head looks like a canines head with deer ears... elks really dont have foreheads at all? the top of their head is just like an (almost) straight slant down to their nose, example: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Elk-70995136
the snout should also be longer too, and the cheek fatter
they also have little nubby tails like here: http://www.stevegettle.com/photos/elk-song-750.jpg
then their noses are well i dont really know how to explain it but heres a nose: http://www.smokymountainharvestfest.....g/elk.jpg.aspx
hope this makes sense!! /o\

Thanks for the in-depth critique :) I would have to ask the winner of the auction if he/she wanted those changes though, since it would drastically change the character's design. I tend toward drawing 'foreheads' and toonier looking faces because the feral looking face sometimes seems completely at odds with the rest of the anthro body (well, that's just my opinion though). Anyway, thanks, and I'll keep it in mind for any future elk pics!
