Earlier this year I started to think that I do have Purple Qilin, which goes with that name in its world as well, but what if there were regular kirins (or qilins, same thing), just because weird horse-deer-dragon hybrid with various colors would funny to draw.

Thoughts so far.

They’re sapient species with full rainbow of coloration and quite clear sexual dimorphism (of course there are plenty of individuals being not-so-clear mashups). They’re mammals but also have variety of feathers and scales, and individually shaped horns which grow through their life, thus making each individual quite different.

Generic pair/family structure is still a wip but likely bonded pair or small bonded group, usually same gender. Most commonly females raise the kids within their own bonds, and males are needed just do the do amongst them - yet not without effort since everyone has their personal tastes what they want from their sire-partner to have. Like, someone may seek out someone who is very green and can run really fast, another one wants at least five different colors and dancing skills.

Lowkey disappointed on myself that why I didn’t think this earlier since I’ve had Purple Qilin since 2009 and no actual kirins/qilins inhabiting my headworld until now.

(I don’t want to smash entire species under one personality trait, but the males tend to have sassyness of birds of paradise. … I kinda want to call the group of kirins “a sass of kirins” if male group, and “a reason of kirins” if female group.)

¤ Just pencil sketches.
