What did i just draw? Well, it's a Kirin, also known as a Ki'ilin, Chi'ilin, Quirin, etc.
Sometimes referred to as the offspring of a dragon and a racehorse, the kirin was a creature of great wisdom in japan. It was especially important in political history, for some of japan's greatest leaders were said to be chosen by the Kirin. One tale tells of a woman who was given a jade coin by one, and was told that her son would be a thronless king. She gave birth to Confucious, himself.

Kirin would occasionally show up in important court cases, and impale the guilty party so that there can be no punishing of the innocent.

Wooooow, try to beat THAT pegasus! >> I think that brown dragon is scheming... He'll kill us ALL! Run away, run AWAY!!

Very clean looking picture, Meli likez. Though I'd be scared out of mind to ride that horse/unicorn/dragon thing that I would XD Oddly enough, other then the wings, looks like a horse tat prefers water.

P.S Attention shoppers: MAMA LUIGI?! :U That is all. ( cuz I just felt like saying that. )

It's a kirin. It's what happens when a chinese dragon and a racehorse have children. It's basically like a unicorn.

I look up from my cold, wood desk.
The whispers rustle past my hair.
I hear the footsteps coming closer.
I turn around, there's no one there.
