Artwork: Mother Ki'rin from the Ki'rin Project

Following the Baby Ki'rin, the next step in the Ki'rin project was to draw a female. The initial plan had been to create something that would be relatively simple: a mother, a baby and a small cherry tree, painted in watercolors and fading just off of the edges into white so that even the tree wouldn't be complete. (See this link to Tony DiTerlizzi's web site and look at the images in the bottom row of the third page of images.) The design evolved, however, as you'll see in upcoming posts. This image is the mother that I drew for the original design. Later I drew another adult Ki'rin that I liked better and planned to use instead and so decided not to use this one after all but after reworking her I ended up bringing her back into the new composition.
