I thought that I might as well make a "spotlight-art" for her as well as all my other characters.

But yes, if you don't know by now, this is Uganda. A female Giant Sable Antelope made especially for my character Sabe as a possible love interest. Created by Nek0-butt. Thank you again Bliss!

From what Bliss has described about her, she seems very mature and sophisticated, but is really more fun and outgoing!
What I can add to her is that she likes to go for walks with Sabe as well as just hanging out talking to him.
Shes part of a larger harem of females that she is also good friends with and plans to bring Sabe himself back with her to see the rest of them at some point.
(I don't know about you, but Sabe is going to faint once he sees how many others there are!)


But the truth is her Harem is in need of a better male guardian.
The one they have currently is kind of ruthless and overly-aggressive with all of them. He doesn't even do the job right by protecting his females from predators. Already 4 individuals unfortunately perished.
They've become so sick and tired of being treated like dirt, that the females secretly banded together to have individuals discreetly sneak away from the harem to search for another suitable male.

It seems that this one, Uganda, got lucky and found Sabe. And Sabe himself will be Luckier to have all these females once he defeats the other ruthless male in a battle to the not-exactly-death, but until one becomes too tired to fight or if someone gets injured really badly. And then that one would be rightfully chosen one to look after the harem. So let's hope his horns are ready!

I just literally came up with this from the top of my head! Hope it's a deep enough story!



If you would like to know more about Giant Sable Antelopes, I put some facts down over here.

The Giant Sable Antelope gathers in herds of 100 or more during the dry season, when browsing replaces the usual grazing.
In the wet season, herds split into bachelor groups of 2 — 12 males, while dominant males occupy large territories and mate with females there.
Mature males are a very dark brown to black, but with the same facial patterns as females: White with a central dark blaze and cheek stripes. Both genders have stout, very heavily ringed, backwards curving horns that can grow to be nearly 5 feet long! That is though, with the females that can grow at a shorter length.
(Well, that is if they were straightened out, rather than curved.)
Being one of the most aggressive and territorial Antelope species in Africa, males will protect their hordes of females at any given cost, by charging at any other animal that poses as a threat or even another challenging male.
By Sable standards, the one with the largest herd of females = the most dominant.
