Umm...when it said only slight changes...I drastically changed this character. I think it's still recognizable, but it's a stretch. Idk if I'm disqualified, or if I just won't have a huge chance of winning? The point is it was really fun to make and that's all I care about. I shifted the color scheme to a more warm color scheme, idk when I think of lightning I think of like bright yellow. And I went for a much more realistic approach, and to really emphasize the lightning I only used pure white on the lightning. I kinda took inspiration from the song ghost riders in the sky, that's the kind of vibes I'm getting from this drawing. Backstory: The lightning deer is as old as time. He roams the sky bringing with him large thunderstorms. He is majestic and when you hear thunder, it's just the lightning deer stomping his hooves. Wherever he walks lightning sprouts from the sky and thunder booms.
Dude...my fingers hurt, I spent way too much time on this. If I win cool, if not I had fun making it so it was worth it.
