"Animatronic Chinese Unicorn" by Lilleah Adora West

it moves! you plug it in and his neck and head go back and forth, his tail and hind leg goes up and down and his front legs curl in and out. how did i make it move? i mutilated a light up animated lawn flamingo!!! the head and leg on the flamingo already moved and i tweaked it to move the tail and front legs as well. the figure is made of wire, foam and tape, the head is a combo of sculpey, air dry clay, tiny deer antlers, glass eyes, beads, and fake fur. this took hours to make!!!!

 this is a true chinese unicorn as in it looks proper to cultural depictions of the creature. i have seen many and done many of what i call "Elfwoodized Kirins" but i wanted to make one that was authentic to the Chinese culture, so here he is in all his glory.

there is also a close up of the face in this gallery.
