Artist's commentary
Original Request:
I'd like an image of a winter café date with ヘラジカ in casual clothes. A version where she has shed her antlers would be nice as well.
Client Response:
Thank you so much for this wonderful art of ヘラジカ! I love everything about it, and I knew you were the right choice for this! Your style is always great for these sorts of images, with your characters looking cute and your backgrounds being very picturesque. Though the background feels a bit warm for the outfit she's wearing, it's still nice looking and really helps add to the feeling of going on a date at a local café with her. The outfit really adds to her beauty too, with both her coat and sweater paired with her expression making her seem like a reliable, cool older sister. The coat also makes her feel a bit smaller, giving a more feminine feel overall but doesn't take away from the parts of her you made bigger like her antlers and "rack". I love how much detail you put into this image, and how fluffy you made her animal parts and hair look too! I just wish I could see her cute ears on the no antlers version. Thank you so much, I wish the text limit was longer so I could say more!
