Description A while back I decided to try my own interpretation of the Kirin, basically a Japanese unicorn. I have pages and pages of sketches, starting from exact copies of ancient Japanese art and slowly evolving into this, my Kirin design. I had a lot of fun with it, despite how complicated it is. There's so much flowing hair, and all those scales!

This one is in kind of a plain pose, but it's pretty much my reference sheet for my final design. It shows me all the essentials, so I'm happy with it.

Simply gorgeous! I think you've managed to show what this creature REALLY looks like rather than just making it look goofy.

Thanks so much. They're definitely one fantasy creature that doesn't get enough attention.

I LOVE this. The other Kirin Portrait as well.
You didn't ever colour these, did you? >3>
