The Qilin

By Wintersoul,
posted 15 years ago Illustrator

Remember the Qilin sketches from before? Well, now he's all fleshed out! This creature is called the Qilin (a.k.a. Kirin, Kylin, etc., it has quite a few spellings and visual interpretations). Thanks to Don Riley for the wonderful photograph!

This is amazing! The detail in the texture of the animal siw aht draws me to it the most. It's very convincing and realistic.

This is absolutely exquisite. The rendering, the motion, even the interpretation- it looks like a real animal, just a bit more fanciful and bizarre.

Very inspiring work!

This is absolutely stunning. One of the few sculptors I've seen on FA who put so much amazing detail into their work... <3 Seriously loving the colors on this one!

Wow this is just wonderful, it looks like a really professional piece, like that would get mass produced so people like me could buy them and put them on our shelves x)
