The final version. The background ended up flatter than I would have liked, but at least I added one. Hehe. I wore down nearly two-thirds of my aquamarine Prismacolor pencil on that sky.

June 2001. Black ink and Prismacolors on Canson drawing paper.

Could anyone explain to me in some extent what's a kirin? Wait, I'll ask Tralfy. Nice pic, seems like one of the better ones.

A kirin is a kind of scaled unicorn, said to resemble a deer with a hide of dazzling scales, and a single horn.
They're also supposed to have huge, billowing manes.


Your kirins keep reminding me of lung-ma... That is, lung-ma with equine heads.

I'm just dumbfoundedly shocked and amazed at the -blueness- of the sky and the fact that anyone would sit there and draw it in rather than flood-fill in photoshop 17

This reminds me of a plastic horse I own, at least in pose.... You don't happen to collect Breyers, do you? Anyway, I love the mane and tail, and great job on perspective!

:-) Erin Stevenson O'Connor replies: "I do indeed collect Breyers, or used to. The old description of this pic indicated that I drew this from one, as I did. It's a black unicorn, though I imagine other models were made from that form. 1"

Haha I used to collect Breyers too! Was wondering where I'd seen that pose before... great poses tend to stick in my mind. And it's my favourite colour too! *clap clap* Me likes.

It has to be the body of a deer or a lion for it to be Kirin. Now it's just a scaly, green, flying unicorn.

:-) Erin Stevenson O'Connor replies: "Looks to me more like the head is lion-shaped, and body is a stylized deer shape. As it says in the description, I based this particular kirin on a horse model, so I would expect it to be more horselike than deerlike. I would also argue that the experts' interpretation is pretty horselike, too. Perhaps this or this would be more to your liking."
