General Description
Deerwings are quiet creatures, preferring to converse with their own kind and drift in small herds away from the bustle of civilization. Despite their solitary natures, they are also kind-hearted, seemingly attracted to those of a gentle disposition, or those in need. They seem particularly fond of infants, some magi claiming that they can sense the purity and innocence that the very young possess. It is said that when a Deerwing lays down next to a sleeping infant, they bless them with the sweetest of dreams.
Variations; 
Egg
This egg has soft, feathery wings and two small, almost adorable silvery horns.
Variations;
hatchling
Your new fawn is shy and timid, and prefers to stick close to you during its first few weeks. You begin to wonder if it will ever leave your side. When you pass by a young baby during your town stroll, the deerwing sticks its head out from the shelter of your legs and looks curiously at the baby, ears pricked forward and timidness forgotten- but it still stays firmly behind you. The baby spots the young fawn and waves its hands, gurgling happily. As you walk away, the hatchling trots after you, as always close by, but you do not miss the sight of its tail waving happily.
Variations;
Adult
Your regal Deerwing makes its way towards you, stepping with slow, measured steps. It has grown out of its timidness, but still prefers to keep to itself or others of its kind. As you watch, it stretches its wings, allowing them to catch the sunlight. You gasp as the brilliant colours on the inside of its wings flash, revealing themselves to you. Usually the wings are kept tightly furled. The deerwing is usually a soft and creamy colour, pretty to look at but rather plain; Its hidden beauty is kept secret- much like the true nature of the deer itself. You smile as the deerwing shakes its wings and carefully furls them once more. It is not often that one is able to see the true colours of the Deerwing; That your deerwing allowed you to see it is proof of the trust it has for you.
Edit: If no one can see the images, please tell me: For some reason they seem to keep disappearing...

Phew! Finally done. And I did a bit of description, too.
I'm not all that confident with my shading abilities, but the last pic I did I decided to explore a bit with shading methods. I think you can guess what order I did the pictures in
