The Qilin / Kirin (Chinese: 麒麟; pinyin: qílín; Wade–Giles: ch'i-lin) is a mythical hooved Chinese chimerical creature known throughout various East Asian cultures. It is said to appear with the imminent arrival or passing of a wise sage or an illustrious ruler. It is a good omen that brings serenity and fortune.
This is my entry for the Phoenix Dream "Creature contest". I though it was definitely a nice challenge in portraying creatures I have never drawn before :') For those who are interested, check it out! It's a very friendly group and I think this contest might be exciting for some of you! Besides the prizes are really nice as well! *smiles*
I especially love your work with the light!
