Bear and Deer
As you know, equines and ursols cannot be played in FH however, there are a few tricks to get the look you want for your character. Some of my tactics could be debateable but I am using my best effort to create the look similar to these animals.
Ursas
You may debate that the feline model should be used for bulkier bear-like bodies, but bears have similar faces to wolves than felines, therefore I thought they would appear better if I used the canid model rather than the feline.
As you can see my bear is a bit reddish, however, it really does not matter what color your bear is as long as it appeals to you and depending on what bear you're trying to recreate. In that case you'll just change the color and maybe add markings.
My bear has a fairly short muzzle, thick nose, large forehead, slightly smaller eyes, and smaller ears to help give the face a more bearish look.
It also is pretty large, but that is up to depending on your bear and age. I realize my bear is not as long as it could be but at first I thought it looked better but now I realize it would be better if I had made it even with the other size controls.
I used a full tuft to give it a fluffy look and hyena ears for roundish ears.
Obviously my bear is tailess, personally I don't think it matters if you have a nubby tail or not, it doesn't make much of a difference.
I used black eyes, but again, this can be up to you this is just my reccomendation.
I used no markings, but I found no need for them with this bear, however for other ursas you may want markings.
For coloration the only thing I would highly reccomend is making the nose a fairly dark color, if not, black.
Here is a screen cap of my bear in game.
This lovely bear is named West.
Deer
Please do not use this tutorial is in inaccurate and there are better ones now! c:
Deer are cervines, and I see most players use canines for this, even though they cannot have hooves, maybe someone will make a hoof item one day to go along with the antlers.
For the deer I would go for a longer muzzle, flatter cheeks, deffinetly thicker nose, and a larger forehead.
Ears are also quite large and aslo the back type, because deer have ears that are on the side of their head.
Smaller eyes and weight, size is up to you, but deffinetly larger than average.
No tail and no fluff, deer have smooth bodies like most equines.
Eyes are up to you but I do reccomend black.
For markings, females tend to have spotted patterns while males have none, this is up to you but I do recommend no markings for males, atleast on the body.
Items; obviously only males have antlers, I am tired of seeing does in game with antlers.
Deer mostly only come in shades of brown, however this is up to you in making your character unique and orignal.
Again, I recommend making the nose black.
Here is my example of a deer in game.
Her name is Evanthe and she belongs to me. Do not copy her please.
And remember, they can't sit.
