Wang LoHung Colored drawing

Created: 1/2014

Jan. 31, 2014 was the start of the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Horse.  To commemorate this auspicious occasion, I wanted to create something a little different than the norm.  One would think that I would create a magnificent horsey Demon, but NO, I chose to go a more Asian route!

Despite what many people think, my creation is a Qilin, or chinese unicorn, NOT a dragon!  However, his Booty Mark does say “horse” in Chinese.  As his name suggests, he is indeed “lohung” but I chose to be *very* subtle about it, look closely.
