Description This is for my sister , these are her two favourite Kirin, Kekei and Enki from "The Twelve Kingdoms".

I wish I knew what to do - it got to a point where I have something, but it needs work and I know I dont't know what to do.

One day when I learn how to draw, I'll finish this. In the meantime, lots of structure lines, and you can kind of see where I intended the mane to fall.

This will be scrapped after my sister sees it.

This is really cool looking so far.

Also, I know you don't know what to do with this quite yet, but I want to say that you've really got the potential(and the skills, of course) to make this into a truly beautiful piece. At least I believe you do.

Of course, that's not to put any pressure on you to do anything with this if you don't want to. I hope you don't take it that way...

This is realy cute! o^.^o


As for the anatomy (If you don't want any crits ignore this part)(Please note that I'm criting this off pics of horses and my cosions work since I have never seen The Twelve Kingdoms) the little one seems fine, the absence of a mane is bothering me though, but no big deal I'm sure you plan to add them later.
As for the big one, the ears look a tad too big and makes him/her look like a mule. Also the left rear leg should probaly be moved more to the right. And the rear hooves look to big.

And I think that is it. I'm not all that great at critting animals of any kind, but I'm OK at horses.

Anyway I love this and want to just snuggle the little one. And you know how to draw!!

Rakshar In reply to CaoskittyART [2007-01-14 00:45:26 +0000 UTC]

They're not horses, they're Kirin! i based these off models from "the twleve kingdoms". They weren't traditional kirin (lion manes, dragon heads) but were more deer-like with some traditional anatomy: Cow/rabbit years, split bull hooves, lion's tail, and horse's body.

As I said in the description (I know many people don't read the descritpion ) you can kind of see the mane in there, but I had to lower the contrast to get rid of the smudging so it sort of disappeared.
thanx for the comment!

Rakshar In reply to deathieflame [2007-01-14 00:36:01 +0000 UTC]

you're english is fine! they're Kirins, the models I based these off had very lean legs, like deer. I only tried to interpret it realistically.

Rakshar In reply to Scythewing [2007-01-13 23:30:49 +0000 UTC]

they're not horsies, they're Kirin (eastern unicorns)... granted they aren't traditional, i based them off the models used in "The Twleve Kingdoms"

Scythewing In reply to Rakshar [2007-01-14 09:12:59 +0000 UTC]

yeah, okay, but horsies sounds so much better than unicornies
