Artist's Comments

<strike>Edit: First person with $25 plus shipping who wants it, gets it. Note me. </strike> 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.

o,O its cute! And quite shiny, I like the shininess. I have never heard of a Japanese unicorn before, that might be a point of interest to look up someday.

it actually is fairly interesting. The legends are much different then the ones for the european unicorn, so it's nifty to read. Let's see... you can look up kirin, kilin, ki' lin, Qi'lin, there's a fewo ther spellings but those are the only ones I can remember offhand. Aaaand I'll reply to your note a little bit later. The payment method is totally fine, I'm just distracted >.> So lemme reply when I'm not gonna confuse us both.
