Description
FOR THE LOVE OF ART; READ EVERYTHING. Especially the BOLD comments.I personally believe that original artists should be the only one's to make and distribute bases of their artwork. Here, I am practicing that belief.
I recently created a race of Asian Qilin to exist in the MLP world, and now look to share these creatures with others who are interested in the possibilities of other races of creatures in the MLP FIM Fandom.
This Base Template has the "nude" Qilin body design, and features the basic structures for all 3 species of Qilin that I've created. It is a PSD file for Photoshop. No, I don't have, or make, any other formats. This file contains several line and color layers, that programs like MS Paint cannot work with. So, please, don't ask for other formats.
***UPDATE!!!***
Now Includes Metal Qilin templates!
Before downloading this base template for use, please first review the prior submissions to learn what the Qilin of Neigh-Beyul are and the differences of each of the species.
Earth Qilin:
Wind Qilin:
Fire Qilin:
Metal Qilin:
The templates offer the option to create a male or female Qilin, and they contain all the files to help build a new member of their species. Each Species file contains the basic special features that makes each species unique. You are free to design and make your own mane and tail adornments and styles. You are free to change the eye shapes if you wish. Beards for the males are offered, and optional. You are free to make/stlye your own beards too.
You can change the color of the scales if you wish, I just don't recommend mixing and matching different species' scales.
***About Metal Qilin Options***
Due to alterations to some parts of the body, Metal Qilin options do have their own Line Art and Color layout Layers. Make sure to open the Layer Groups to select the Metal Qilin options if that is your desired race.
As mentioned before, Qilin are not ponies, so I did not design them to wear cutie marks.

Please be responsible and follow the terms as stated. I look forward to seeing what sort of creations people come up with and are inspired to make.
Also, please be culturally respectful. These are beasts of Asian lore.
I am working on a design for their "fawns" or "Younglings". This is what I decided to call their young for now. So there will be a future update that will add in its own base.

Quick question.
I've heard of the five elements from the Chinese elements, but I don't see Water Qilins in here...
Did you have any ideas for the water version or are you just sticking with the four elements here?

Heh, I did address this in the individual images of the separate Qilin races.
Why is there no "Water Qilin"? Because Water is the domain of the Dragons.

Umm...this IS the base...
And sorry, I will not allow altered re-creations of my base.
You can use this and credit the original and tis creator (Me), but no re-creations allowed.
If I find any re-creations, they will be reported and removed including all artwork associated with the re-creations.

Kirins have become one of my favorite mythical creatures. I have a couple Kirin avatars on a sim world virtual world called "Second Life". Naturally I prefer using the word "Kirin" cause I'm Japanese decent and it's always been easier for me to say "Kirin". Very magnificent creatures they are and I'm glad people research them as well. Would be cool if they exist in real life.

Well, I mainly wanted to cover only the 4 main elements.
As explained in my descriptions of the various types of Qilin; Earth, Wind and Fire basically matches them up to Earth Ponies, Pegasai, and Unicorns.
Water is the domain of the dragons, like my character Lian: fav.me/d63b8d5 So that is why there is no "Water Qilin" type.

Hellsender [2013-12-16 18:35:02 +0000 UTC]
So do each of their elements correspond to the four directions of East, West, North and South? It would make sense if they had a major city or province dedicated to each race of the Qilin and the dragons (though technically the dragons live in the sea).

SaturnGrl In reply to Hellsender [2013-12-17 00:10:35 +0000 UTC]
I suppose the four elements could be tied to the 4 directions, but Neigh-Bayul is where all my Qilin live together. I've seen other artists make their own Qilin (Kirin) designs, towns and societies, there's even one person who has a race of Asian deer. I designed mine to act more like an Asian version of Canterlot, but more humble like Ponyville. Going into Neigh-Bayul would be like stepping back in time, to a more simpler way of life in the Asian continent.
I guess a Real Life comparison would be like visiting Kyoto, Japan. A city that primarilly remains bound to ancient traditional lifestyles in the midst of modern day development in Japan.
The dragons mainly reside in the lakes and rivers of Neigh-Bayul.

It won't happen, but I would be so happy if qilins akin to these would appear in the show...

I qilin ever do make an appearance on the show, I wonder what they would be like.
Would be cool if they showed interest in my designs.
