Golden Shrike (goldenshrike.thecomicseries.com)
 

Golden Shrike is a Xenofiction webcomic drawn and written by the artist Doeprince. The Comic tells the story of two deer twins, Nero the stag and Runi the doe, as they leave their herd and explore the wider world around them.

I'd ad more but I don't want to spoil it for anyone. But it's a charming webcomic that I've been enjoying for awhile now. Sadly the author posts just 1 page per week.
