Pronghorn as Totem

The Pronghorn is an American ungulate that is the only living member of its family. The males have prominent horns, and the females - for the most part - have none (if they do have them, they are small or mis-shapen). The are one of the fastest land animals in the world, and can sustain runs at high speeds for longer than the cheetah; this makes running/fleeing and relying upon their instincts one of their primary methods to evade predation and danger. They are quite common, and predated upon by humans, as well as large canines and felines. Their young are sometimes hunted by large raptors.

I've only seen these guys in person in zoos, but I think they're awesome. I actually have a single prong horn in my antler box.

I've never seen one of these guys before, but I kind of fell in love with them while doing my research!!

As you should!! ;)

These are just so gorgeous! You need to have a deck out or something. Seriously.

Aw thank you. I'd love to do a deck or something on these. I'm actually working on a divination system at the moment that works with animal totems, but it doesn't exploit the animal totems in quite this way.

Excellent! Damn, I'd love to do something with you along those lines. AMAZING!

This is very pretty. I like the organic coloring. And the background "image" looks a lot like an egg to me, which seems to make sense somehow...

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Oooo, that's awesome. :)

Want...so...bad...

Maybe we could work out a payment plan?

So gorgeous!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Sure thing! I do payment plans a lot. Email me at my gmail (ophelias.diary@gmail.com) and we can work something out. :D

I don't know why but the colors and everything about this really scream 'pronghorn' to me. Nice job!
