Description
I'm open for anime style commissions , please contact me for more info.Made for the Bi-Weekly Contest Creature #2 at MythsandLegends . A black Kirin (also called Qilin, a Chinese mythical beast similar to unicorns) named Taiki from the Twelve Kingdoms ("Juuni Kokki"/"12 Koki"). He is still young and the boy next to him is the same character but in his human form. The Kirin is crying since blood makes these creatures sick. I suggest you to see the anime since it's really, really good. It's based on a series of novels, so you could check them alternatively.

I saw your drawings; they're nice, but I suggest you to properly scan or at least crop them.

Well, I think you already know who is my favourite.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes I do. But Taiki doesn't have a very good life you know. Did you read? He lost his horn and his 2 shirei became wild.

I don't remember all the details anymore... ^^'

Good not to remember because the real story is a sad one. Let's preserve the happy memories of Taiki when he was with Enki and Keiki. 😃

Taiki is pure black though in his real form. Good job on the drawing though. I luv 12 kingdoms.

In anycase, Taiki is beautiful.

well. there are fan-translations online like cantok(dot)freehostia(dot)com/01links.html or already zipped novels in here mediafire(dot)com/?f7kqf0au5gldg .
Of course buying them all. Having that books in your hands.. ah.. my dream is so far away.
(expeciall when I heard those english translations are not accurate as fans would like - thats part why fan-trans exists) (and we have really high taxes on books here >.<)
But once, when I wont be student anymore, but employed worker, I swear I will buy them all!!

Wow, that you very much for the links, I also signed the petition and linked it in the artist's comment!
Some fan-translations to compare with the official ones can be useful, but I'll keep buying the books too, of course. ^^
Anyway, could you please make me some example of inaccurate translations in the first novel? I would like to know how much they are inaccurate... ^^'

Oh they are really good, better than the anime in fact (and the anime was really good). I'm waiting for book 5 to get translated.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah they are pretty awesome
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I'll buy them all one day, this is for sure.
Do you know if the author has finished to write the story? I read around that it was incomplete...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not sure, but the anime really stops at book 4, and I think there are 9 books.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
are 11 books o-o
sometimes you can find that are 6 books, but in facts are eleven because some books are doubles.

Well, there is plenty to read for me, at least.
Thanks for the info!
