I just finished up painting a commission on a KiRin to sorta match the black pegasus. I don’t know if I really matched it well enough and I did take a few liberties, but I do have to say it’s killer when you paint their scales in black and use silver highlights!

I’ll post them to my Windstone gallery if I can. I may need to delete something in there to do it. Sorry for the cruddy background…I didn’t feel like freezing outside.I find the KiRin difficult to paint and make the scales look good, but this combo is really awesome. At first the scales were to be all basic black without silver. I let that sit a while as I did the mane and face and decided it was just way too flat. Black really wipes out all detail, so I decided to try and use the silver I had on the belly scales to antique the scales and boom, the whole thing just looks like the scales on a koi or something. I am so going to paint another KiRin like this again…and if not with a blue and purple mane then a red mane of flames.
