TEF: reference: Macaria

[EDIT]
The only real change to her design was to replace her antlers with "wings".  But I took the opportunity to redo most of the lineart so her body looks more like it's supposed to.  Even though it meant having to google "skinny deer" for references (which I don't recommend if you don't want to see emaciated or diseased deer).

ref without "extras"

My newest deer in The Endless Forest.  She's Melinoe's twin sister (not quite identical, obviously).  Like Melinoe, Macaria is somewhat loosely based on Greek mythology.  There are actually a few characters named Macaria in Greek mythology, but this one is based on a daughter of Hades and Persephone who is known as the "goddess of blessed death".

Design notes:  Originally she was going to be pure white with gold eyes, but I decided to base her colors on the white asphodel, a flower said to grow in Elysium (pretty much the ancient Greek equivalent of Heaven).
The face markings are based on the "crying idol" mask in TEF and represent grief/mourning (even though she's smiling).
The antlers are based on the "golden butterfly" antlers in the game and the shape is loosely based on swirl and wave patterns sometimes found in ancient Greek art.  I wanted to use something more meaningful, but couldn't find anything that looked good.  The wings are meant to add an "angelic" look.  Almost like a ghostly angel.
