I am posting this to show what the deer started out at, color wise, and what it ended up at, thanks to a fairly ridiculous number of coats of Melted chocolate colored and black paint.

I still need to put the buckram in the eyes, just haven't gotten to it yet. Very pleased with the progress on this, especially considering it's my first ever deer. It's amazing what a difference having a reference shot of a live animal makes when coloring things.
