Arroyo explains to young Tytain the cycle of antlers . . . including how the fall off at the end of the year. Arroyo is being rather dramatic about it to tease poor Ty, who's horrified, poor lad ;)
This is an old picture. It was painted with watercolours, and the contours were done with ink (Indian, I think). Because I failed to give Tytain any spots (forgetting he keeps them throughout his life), I had to add them on MS Paint :P . . .
