Description Edit: First person with $25 plus shipping who wants it, gets it. Note me. Sold.

Quicky doodle done last night while I waited for my cake to bake. I didn't want to get in depth on any serious work, like the commission or the book stuff, because I always get sunk deep in my art and then BAM burnt cake! And since this is like my uh... third... attempt at baking a cake this week *coughs* I didn't want to mess it up. Again. So I doodled.

Then I realized I kind of liked the doodle, and I was about to scrub clean my palette ( I do that every so often, cause it gets too messy to use), before I started working again and realized I also liked the colors that were in a rainbow spread across the thing. Sooo I splashed some paints on for fun. Wee for fun!

I'm not sure how large this is. Maybe 5" by 7"? If that? Not near a ruler.

Uh for anyone asking, kirin is a japanese unicorn. There's also half a dozen other asian versions and there's an awesome story about one of the asian rulers (I always mix up if it was japanese or chinese), going to africa and mistaking a giraffe for a kirin. That was kind of nifty.

*babbles* I should go back to work.

This popped up on my DA page under favorites today, and I had to stop by and stare at it again. It's such a beautiful image, and your kirin is extremely graceful. The image you painted makes me want to sing. Thank you for this much-needed boost.

I hope that things are looking up with you as well. And I hope the drugs you're on for the tooth thing are more fun than frustrating

+faving so I can find it again easily. I love so many of your works that if I was to +fav every one that deserved it, I'd +fav nearly every one.

I'm explaining only because it minorly irritates me when people +fav without giving me any sort of feedback (positive or negative).

oh no worries. I don't mind, I consider faving a form of feedback anyway *nods* and I'm TERRIBLE for commenting, so I don't get upset if other people are too *grin*

This is a wonderful rendition of a kirin, in my opinon. I LOVE the bright colors -- they're so vivid. And the coloring is soft, and...amazing. Definitely worth a favorite!
