Sacred Black...

Have you ever heard of a melanistic deer? Well they are an all black deer (even rarer than an albino or piebald), most often they are White Tails, and a large concentration of them seem to be found in Texas...anyhow, I thought I would do a mystical melanistic Muley (an endearing term for mule deer) and make him look like a Spiritual leader, but created in the manner of a melanistic coloration...I really like the outcome...this one was originally drawn up in the phase where I made the CHeetah Shaman...but I changed the style I will do them in...I still have a wolverine, bear, wolf, Red tail hawk, owl and cougar to do yet, but I am making slow progress.
