Deer articulation
The fourth leg arrived for my deer, so I chose to articulate that, too. The skeleton looks much better
now that it has four legs. I chose to position it in a more interesting pose than the typical standing pose to add more interest to the piece. All round, I am pretty proud of it, considering it is my first articulation, and it has helped me with a lot of understanding the body. I plan to photograph it in a better environment at a future date.

Articulation complete

Today, I finally finished articulating the deer skeleton in the desired position. However, the deer was still missing its fourth leg, so it was incomplete. I wanted to choose a more interesting pose than the typical "stood up" pose. After completion though I looked at other references of deer skeletons and noticed I'd attached the legs wrongly, so I tweaked them once I'd gotten the final leg attached.
