Swedish reindeer twins!

Idk if they count as OC's in the sense that I don't have names or backstories (…yet) butttt I've been having so much fun drawing George I needed some sort of excuse to draw other Arthur style* cervids, which have always been a fave of mine to draw despite my inability to consistently draw decent antlers

Reindeer are a little more complex than other deer bcuz their coat patterns are so varied. Weirdly when I looked up other anthro deer and reindeer ocs on google images for inspo so many people give reindeer oc's fallow deer patterns? Reindeer don't have spots????? Not even the babies they're one of the few cervids that don't because they run so fast. I acknowledge I may care more about the technicality of deer than others tho. Anyway.

*Well ok MY Arthur-Style.
