I first noticed it in the sketch when it came out a long time ago and I loved it the moment I saw it – I really liked the originality in Talvr’s design. Looking through your art galleries, it’s interesting the see the evolution of his design.
When I first saw the design of his snout, I realized it looked… familiar, but not anything I could easily place. It wasn’t like a horse’s muzzle, and certainly not like a deer or a goat’s. It was only some time later that I realized the design more closely resembled a gorilla’s face – such an incredibly original design to borrow for a more long-faced creature.
It was after that that I realized that the design of his front feet were very simian. And just now in trying to describe Talvr (who knows if other Lezni look different!) as similar to a goat, or a deer, or an antelope, or any kind of animal, I realize that there really is no one animal he can be compared to. He’s a wonderful amalgamation of different parts! Absolutely lovely. I wish I could see this creature in CG in some great fantasy movie.
Remember, when using force to get your way, be sure to poison the well afterwards by implying the threat of even more of the thing that has pissed people off.

My second favorite part of him is his tail. <3
…Oh my, long winded for a moment.
