So a long whiles back I uploaded a "Kirin Concepts" thing, in order to get some opinions on which design I should use for a sculpture I was doing. I ended up using the second concept, and he's been sitting around since waiting for me to get my lazy butt around to giving him some fur!
*Cough* Anyway. I then had a bunch of concepts laying about which I was doing nothing with. One of them started to really grow on me, so finally I caved and did something I didn't think I'd ever do- I gave him a little bit of backstory and created a character! So... Everyone, this is Vaal. Vaal, this is everyone.
I reused the line art I had used for the concept sheet, but tidied his colouring a bit. I swear this is the last time I reuse that line art though, I've used it like a bazillion times...
... You can tell I couldn't decide what species he actually is, can't you?
Hope you like it...
