This is so beautiful, I love the way you translated the really traditional and ancient theme of the unicorn hunt to what many consider an analog of the unicorn in the East. Your Kirin is really beautiful and the colors you used in this piece are beautiful. I love how you used muted colors that only makes the bright blues and warm reds look more vibrant.

For those that don't know,
quilin, or Kirin, are mythical hooved chimerical (meaning a mashup of different creatures) creatures. They're based in China and other East Asian cultures, and they're said to appear with the imminent birth or death of a sage or illustrious ruler. They're a good omen, thought to mean that a time of prosperity and serenity is on the way.
... sometimes they look like Giraffes.
Not sure why this one is being murdered, but there ya go.

This is so beautiful and sad, your art is really touching me. <3 Kirins are pure creatures, they are like a japanese version of unicorns. And those arrows just shows how humans can be cruel.

Oh no~! Not the Kirin!
Funny though, because right now I am working on some concept art for a race based on the kirin
