Awesome work!!

Thanks! ^_^

Alright I don't be downing your self with your art work what maybe not good to you does not mean that for ever one on FA. So show your work and be proud of it. Yes I will agree this is a good peace of art. (snuggles you and say take it ease and don't be harsh on your self.)

I agree with SpiritWolfe, don't be too hard on yourself. You wouldn't have so many people watching you if your art wasn't worth it. =)

Now you're making me blush...

Wow, thanks for that. Although in this instance I really wasn't being too harsh. Most of what I've done for work have been simple snowman drawings and some birds. They are most emphatically not the sort of intricate pencil work I normally upload. I might scan and upload some of the birds after Christmas, if I feel that they are good enough. But we'll see.

I'm pleased that you like my reindeer, though! ^_^

Just like I said let you watchers be the judge on your artwork. I think you would be very surprise of the results of what you will get.

Fair enough. Thanks! ^_^

Very nice piece indeed.

Thanks! ^_^

He looks very proud >3

I would be proud if I were one of Santa's reindeer... ^_^

I'd be kinda weirded out. I'd wonder where the hell my thumbs went.

I'd be like: 'Yay, I'm the only deer type in which females have horns!' ^_^

You'd show those males who's boss? :P

Oh yes!!!! When I live in uni with three men, we had a lovely democracy in the house. I won all the votes one to three! *wicked grin*

Of course you did XD You'd probably have the biggest antlers out of all of the reindeer, would you? :P

Absolutely! ^_^ Ah, those were the times -- I used to be able to banish the toughes of them out of the room with one glare... *wistful grin*

Remind me not to go flatting with you x3

Well someone had to keep the kids in check!! I'm really a sweet personality really, as long as I'm kept fed and warm. ^_^

Sounds reasonable enough |3

this is beautiful....

*smiles slyly... now put some Christmas lights on him...

V.

Thanks! And no, I shan't put any Christmas lights on him! How is he meant to be pulling Santa's sleigh if he has extension cords trailing behind him?

The solution for that problem is called: DURACELL^^

Good point... Connect some to the reindeer, too, and it would keep on going...

I was thinking Christmas card type thingie... perhaps... a few colored bulbs strung around his rack and a bright red 'bell harness' around his chest area with the rest of him left in black and white.

'Duracell'... chuckles... I liked that one.

V.

Hmm, perhaps. Althoug he looks a bit too haughty for that... ^_^

Lazy deer....364 days of just hanging out and than it needs a rest before it hase to work ONE day? ^^ Unbelievable!

It's a long day, though, flying around the globe delivering presents to all the children. Besides, being snobby takes a lot of energy... ^_^

nah...it is still just one day^^

But one day that lasts around the world... It takes a while. ^_^

naaahhh details....^^

But which one is he? I'm sure there's some songs that give the attitude of Santa's reindeer. If there are he'd have to be the snobbish one. Looking down his nose at all of us.

Good Job!

Thanks! He's certainly not Rudolph, but aside from that I don't know. I don't know the names of Santa's reindeer in either Finnish or English.

So a bit of fun for you and me. I was wondering how a man who gave money to the poor ended up with reindeer. And since I can, I looked it up: The names (Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen) first came from Twas the Night Before Christmas which is also know as A Visit from St. Nicholas in which he completely made them up. Rudolph didn't come until the song (also why a reindeer with a glowing nose instead of a lamp on his antler or something?). It seems that before that, Santa was rather vague or there were a lot of different views of him. Basically, since then everyone's conformed to the view of the poem.

So which reindeer is he here's a quiz: http://www.quizopolis.com/santas_reindeer.php which you are not in the least obliged to do.

Lesson done.

Wow, well done you! He would be Dancer, although I didn't really feel that any of the question were really arrogant enough to reflect his personality... At work, we took A3 copies of the original drawing and now we have 3 on our walls. No wonder he looks so arrogant, when everyone stops and admires him on their way past...

I think it's awesome that they put your art up at work!

It's so embarrassing!!! The trusts department is turning into a private art gallery for me!

:D it's awesome

Thank you very much! ^_^

no prob

'Tis the season 0o

'Tis indeed. *humms Christmas carols all the way to bed*

That's superb! It's nice to see a PROPER reindeer instead of those Disneyfied ones. :D

Thanks! At work they magnified it into A3 posters and it still looks fab! Although it is a bit embarrassing, as our office is quickly turning into a private art gallery for me...

Woah, maybe I should try making a print too... sometime.

When I say 'posters' I don't mean anything posh. Just your average photocopier and A3 paper. They still look pretty neat. ^_^

Haven't commented your pictures in a long time. Or does it just feel long? Anyway, this is a nice picture, I like the realism in it. And I am again amazed by your drawing skills, because... the picture is just lines on the paper... and when I look it... it's a reindeer!

On sitä muutamaan kertaan tullut käytyä Lapissa ja kyllä täytyy sanoa että perin v****maisia elikoita nuo porot. Kun eivät osaa pelätä autoa laisinkaan. Hyppivät tielle minkä kerkeävät. Ja kun ekaa kertaa näki poron läheltä, niin sitä oli vähän niin kuin: Helvetti! Sehän on oikeasti iso eläin! Mutta, kaunis piirros.

Great picture, I have to say. Very lifelike. Good work.

I haven't drawn much in a while, so you haven't had much to comment on. I hope your Christmas and New Year went well. I'm also pleased that you like the drawing, it was just meant to be a simple reindeer head for a jokey poster, but I got rather carried away...

I often encountered the same problem in Lapland as you did. Herd of reindeer on the road and approaching cars have no effect on them. They'll move when it pleases them. A bit like the New Forest ponies in, you guessed it, the New Forest...

Christmas was peaceful, New Year was New Year, hopefully your holidays went well as well. As I'm in university, I'm blessed with a long Christmas holiday, I'm back to school on 7th of January. Ah, back to work. Holidays are nice but they get a bit boring, at least for me...

Thank you, you're welcome and everything good.

I really can't see how anyone could be bored during a holiday. I rarely get bored. There are so many things to read (I love buying books and I have books I'm dying to read on my shelves.) and lots of stuff to draw and write about. But my holidays went well, although I was so very tired I didn't really enjoy Christmas much. But I feel better now, having had a long rest. ^_^
