New Blood (Finish-A-Sketch WIP)
Added 2017-11-20 08:20:07 +0000 UTCHere's progress on this month's "Finish-A-Sketch", which was voted on by my top two tiers. I'm likely to use my watercolor look for this, so watch out for a stream this week where I work on fleshing it out.
This buck tribe is sharing a few willing females with a rival tribe of elk in hopes of diversifying and strengthening the genetics of their future children. Recent food shortages and trade disputes have created tension between these groups, so ritualistic sharing such as this have the added benefit of patching up any bad blood between them.

Before reading your description, I thought it had to do with Santa's reindeer getting elk bloodlines in the mix to haul a bigger sleigh, or something.
