The adults looks elegant while the babies looks so adorable that I just wanna hug them

Good to know I'm not the only person who thought that. Gives him a noble look.

They do look a little off to me but I can't put my finger on how. I still really love the direction they're going though! Now I'm more excited than nervous about their revamp!

Adult Male:
> antlers don't look like they're at the same angle (closer antler looks like it's more backwards-angled, far antler looks like it's sticking more out to the side)
> Chest looks. Very strange. With the Huuuge bulge that goes in and then goes down and then goes into the legs (the bulgy chest could work, but I think it'd need to come down more to not have the weird bit between it and the legs)
> his body seems pretty thin- most stags are pretty blocky

>adult female's neck seems too long
> front legs seem too far back related to neck
> her back is VERY dipped, and the shoulder area is extremely high
> one of her ear flower's petals is literally sticking straight down her ear canal that CANNOT be comfortable.
> her legs are very splayed and her furthest leg seems to be on a slightly different plane to the others

> baby male's torso and shoulder joints are a bit off-looking,

> baby female's neck should be connecting higher than it is

Me, doing some sketches over the top:

Deer legs continue to make me cry, they're awful, and my attempts at them are ALSO awful, and also I was extremely halfassing the plants because they are basically fine outside the female's ear flower (I'd basically 100% given up at adding them by the time I reached the baby female.
(these aren't great sketches but hey)

I do agree the male bulgy chest looks strange though maybe adding in tufts of fur to make it appear fuzzy would work as well as your suggestion

I also like the female flower area on your sketch
the female flower area currently is odd.

I feel like making the foliage on the male's neck more leaf like/flower petal like would be great, at the moment they seem too stiff and cartoony compared to the female's flowers. Aside from that, I agree with most of the previous criticisms. Overall, i'm excited, and I can't wait to see them finished!

Oh yes! Much more deer like. Very nice. =)

Oh wow more revamps! These are so cool!

Absolutely Beautiful! In my opinion, if thats what they are going to look like along with more traits, Id say thats a win win. Beautifully done. :)

I like the new sketches, they give the creature more personality.
I do agree, in regards to the chest part, that if you made it..'fluffy' as in showing the fur as it pushes out from the chest makes it look more...grand.

One more little idea..if that is ok I was looking at the females head and the line that makes the curve of the jawbone..I am thinking it could be broken up or have a bit of a space so it is not continuous as it just makes it look like it is a marionette with its head on a hinge.

Same with the male, maybe a bit of a space between the start of the jawbone and chin so it doesn't look so..hinged.
Sorry, I don't know how to explain it better but overall I am liking the tweaking if the design.
