[Concept]

Hey all! Seeing as it's the holidays, I thought I'd take a while to unwind. This little guy is Lafayette. He is a Kirin, or at least my version of them. He's also a very awesome character that's gone through a lot of changes, but I'm sure this is his final design XD

I worked on and off on this. It didn't take me nearly as long as it says, I just kept the window open.

Happy Holidays everyone on CS!

As awesome as this is you need to give credit to the original artist of the Khirin from Khimeros.com (awesome site btw). I do love the drawing, though.

I'm sorry, but this is not a 'Khirin' from Khimeros. A Kirin (Qilin, Keilion, Ki-lin, etc) is a traditional Asian mythical animal and cannot be copywritten.

"There are many different ways Qilin have been described. Some think of them as a rare form of unicorn; others have described it as a creature that has the head of a dragon and a body of tiger with scales. Others see it as a creature with a single horn on its forehead, a multicolored back, the hooves of a horse, the body of a deer, and with the tail of an ox."

~Quoted from the Wikipedia article

I will link you to it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qilin

My interpretation of the Kirin as shown here was influenced heavily by a friend in the year 2003, long before Khimeros was ever made, and is similar to many interpretations of the creature dating across time and the world. Seriously, look up the word 'Kirin' in google images and tell all those people they're wrong and stealing something :\ Khimeros did not come up with the concept and I have never nor ever want to go to the site.

Please, take the time to research before you make a comment as you did.
