Hi there! I am currently holding an interest check for a new species called Yakshin Kirins. They are a type of mythic species, based off kirins, djinn (genies), and another type of mythic creature called a yaksha.
I have some information written up for them already, along with pre-existing examples of designs.
currently these guys only exist on Furvilla and DeviantArt for currency, but I want to bring them onto the Chickensmoothie oekaki forums for free adopt contests as well!
For those who show interest, I will be raffling off a free custom for the first 3 pages of posts. <3 once the first post on page 4 comes up, I will close the raffle and select a winner.
Please fill out this form if you would like to enter the raffle:

LORE
Yakshin Kirins (plural form "Yak") are a lesser-known mythic species that reside in heavily forested areas, and are believed to bring good luck to those who gaze upon their scales. They are believed to protect the forests and secluded areas they reside in, be it the smallest blade of grass or bug, to the mightyest river that runs as far as the ocean. While most believe them to be benevolent, others have claimed them to be mischevious or malicious to travelers that cause damage to their forests. The only way to know for sure is to find one yourself.
APPEARANCE
Yakshin Kirins are a species that can be compared to cervine and equine creatures, as many of their traits resemble that of deer, antelope, and horses. Much like a unicorn, Yak have only one horn that resembles an antler of a deer. Their build is sturdy and strong, and can run at alarming speeds. Their strong hind legs and sharp sets of 3 toes on their hind feet make for a dangerous weapon should they give a good kick with them.
Yak are also known to portray a shiny scale that represents their life force. This scale is almost always draped from a chord on their antler. The chord can drape solely from it's antler, drape down onto its face, or even wrap down along it's neck as a necklace, but it must always be connected to it's antler. Each Yakshin portrays only one scale, and each scale is unique to that Yakshin, almost like a fingerprint.
We are constantly researching and travelling far and wide to find out more about this species and their behavior. Please mind our dust while we fill in the blanks.
Design Examples:
these guys can be natural or unnatural colors, and have natural-related markings found on horses and other similar creatures. two customs exist that are based off different animals, such as okapi and tapir.
