I love blue. :-)

I tried to get a shine on the scales but it didn't quite work out for me. A little experiment with colored pencils this was.

*sigh* I really love these creatures. I can't get anything to work with colored pencils. You could try CGing it. But it looks beautiful the way it is.

Why don't you try coloring a portion of each scale white, then going over it with blue?

The kirins are so unique! This is cool. Great detail!!!

I don't like the scales, or the horn, but otherwise, I love the pic.

A very beautiful drawing! This seems to have a lot of western unicorn influence in it though. My suggestion would be to add about 30% more dragon-like qaulities (particularly in the head and face) and to make the horn much shorter and more prong-like...then it will look very much more like a ki-rin than a unicorn. Very nice though!

I like your kirina but I think they need to look alittle less horse like , because they just look like unicorns with scales. Kirins and Ki-lins actually may have more than one horn and claws instead of hooves. However your style is very stunning.

looks great- I think it does look a bit shiny- perhaps more bright highlights would help 2 A lovely creature, and great choice in color 2 --Laura
