Another prize for *Hareguizer for winning second place in 's contest. Congratulations!
it's always fun to draw mythical creatures, especially if it's mythology of a totally different culture. The description of a karkadann was very vague, so I had lots of freedom. I mixed rhino and horse like features trying to put it into one creature. Personally I think I did well. Hope you like your prize, *Hareguizer !_________________________________

Simply amazing dude, you have done it again! That thing looks pretty cool, and I like how you imagined it out to be! Very impressive!!

I think the way it flips back its right front paw is a bit weird.. It looks like a 90 degrees angle, which is a tad much for an animal to flip its hooves.. O-o
But other than that, it's an awesome picture! I'd never heard of this creature before, you taught me something new today. I love the colors you gave it; they reflect the theme of grassy plains nicely ^^
