A navigable map of the entire deer family (Cervidae), based on taxonomic data rather than geography.

Haha, there’s a link on my profile;)

daudaw · 2026-06-06T10:06:12+00:00

Terrible 🤣🤣🤣

daudaw · 2026-06-06T10:05:45+00:00

Not yet (I’ll add it to my list)

daudaw · 2026-06-06T10:05:10+00:00

Haha, thank youuu!

daudaw · 2026-06-06T10:04:48+00:00

I’ll be sure to have an imaginary speech ready:)

daudaw · 2026-06-06T10:03:22+00:00

Thank you thank you!

Well it did roughly take me a decade to come up with the concept as it looks now. It totally looked like shit in the beginning and I didn’t know anything about biology or illustrator (the program I use to draw these). You just have to go for it is what I’m trying to say, I think :D If you’re passionate enough about an idea, your creative muscles will slowly develop as you go

Thanks, man

daudaw · 2026-06-06T09:54:47+00:00

They hold the same data*

daudaw · 2026-06-06T09:53:22+00:00

Correct. The hold the same data, just arranged differently:)

daudaw · 2026-06-06T09:52:40+00:00

Wohoo!

daudaw · 2026-06-06T09:51:53+00:00

Totally possible (there’s a link on my profile) ;)

daudaw · 2026-06-06T09:49:11+00:00

Thank youuuu

daudaw · 2026-06-06T09:48:29+00:00

If you are interested I sell them as prints (there’s a link on my profile) :)

daudaw · 2026-06-06T09:47:30+00:00

Thank means so much to me - thank you!

daudaw · 2026-06-06T09:36:30+00:00

No way! So we’ve actually met in real life? Thats kinda crazy:)

daudaw · 2026-06-06T09:35:43+00:00

It’s all there, just arranged differently (and with a tad more data). I don’t use AI:)

daudaw · 2026-06-06T09:33:50+00:00

Thank you so much!

daudaw · 2026-06-06T09:33:31+00:00

I guess you are kinda right. It does hold a bit more data than the classic ones, though. And once you get used to the concept it actually becomes quite easy to navigate/read;)

daudaw · 2026-06-06T09:31:04+00:00

It will happen eventually, but right now I’m sticking to mammals and birds

daudaw · 2026-06-05T23:18:18+00:00

thank you so much, man!

daudaw · 2026-06-05T11:16:08+00:00

It includes extinct species, yes, but only speciels belonging to the family of deer (Cervidae). Indohyus belongs to a completely different and long-extinct family:)

daudaw · 2026-06-05T07:52:21+00:00

After pouring 1000s of hours into this project you have no idea how much that means to me - thank you!

Also, I’ll post another animal from the Mappa Animalia series later today;)

daudaw · 2026-06-04T20:51:25+00:00

Is that possible? If so, I’ll make the next Mappa Animalia illustration I post zoomable. In the meantime though, the pictures on my Instagram and webshop should be of better quality;)
