This is a kind of Chinese god called a Qilin, and this one is a Unicorn type, called a "Dujiao Qilin". (Doo-Djyaow Tschee-Leen)

I really don't feel like explaining the entire thing... And, I know most people don't have a clue about real Chinese mythologies and so on... So, if you wanna know more about them just ask.

*sigh*

Anyway, I did this with graphic markers, and color pencils. I also uploaded it to Epilogue.net.... maybe I'll luck out and have it published there... *fingers crossed* I may also adjust this in the future...

********

I've been re-edditing this. So, it may go through some changes since I'm trying to get it aproved on Epilogue.net

Aw, it's adorable! Flash a pose, Qilin! Looks quite goldish and the red background gives a lovely, sunset touch.

Very nice, good luck in your Epilogue submit! I still don't have the guts to attemptt o join them yet, but I'm working on it. I'm just getting into Chinese mythology myself and if you don't mind, could you tell me a little about Dujiao Qilin?

Well generally in Chinese the word for "unicorn" is "Du Jiao Shou". "Du-Jiao" meaning "1-horned", and "Shou" meaning "Beast". They have several types of these.

Generally Qilin have antlers, but they also have unicorn types. I often saw the Dujiao Qilin when I went to Beijing. They were in all the hotel buildings, and Kareoke bars, and resteraunts.

BUt, usually you see alot of the Unicorn Lions: "Dujiao Shizi" or Unicorn Tigers: "Dujiao Laohu".
If you ever watch the Lion Dances during the Spring Festival (AKA Chinese New Year) the lions are all unicorns, because they are gods. And, in the "Xi You Ji" (Journey to the West), the monkey king Sun Wukong steals "The Golden Water Averting Beast" to get the plantain fan from the Fan princess in the story of fire mountains. That beast is a Unicorn Lion.
Plus, Wukong also fights a Lion King Demon that's also a Unicorn Lion with a big cutlace lance.

So many stories with unicorns. :D *loves unicorns* ^.^
