A handful of my OCs who I hadn’t yet gotten around to drawing before!

They’d been sitting and waiting for me to give them a drawing either in my style or as non-chibi versions. Four were adopts from others, two were adopt designs I made and then kept. xD

Top: Sepulchre Glare - My design, a bat-kirin who does cemetery groundskeeping. Tiger Lilly - A shipgrid custom from Turnipberry on dA! Now a zebrin dhampir and Zerukova’s sister. Mellow Masquerade  - Adopted from Gigason on dA! A Clawback attack survivor and minstrel with imagery magic. Performance presence is on point, but once he’s offstage, he’s very quiet and keeps to himself.

Bottom: Gallows Humor - A kirifon (kirin x griffon) I adopted from @scruffypegasus, and colleague to Sepulchre. Ash Quartz - Arcane jeweler/prosthesis enchanter I adopted from a shipgrid by @parrpitched. Umber Gleam - My design I got the name of before anything else, then made a Sombra x Sunburst palette to put to the name. I don’t know where he fits in yet.

One last shipkid combo, out of Greta the griffon and one of the unnamed male Kirin. This is the sort of experiment I was wanting to do last week. lol

This sort of combo is what I term a Kirifon; a hippogriff-like hybrid, but instead of horse, Kirin.

Just a couple of creatures one can find in MidSouth-Southeast Neighsia and Neighpon!

The Cartazonon is from around India in the real world, mythologically speaking. For my Neighpon/Neighsia addendum, they are what crossed with the traditional Chineighese Qilin to contribute to what would later become the Five Clans Kirin. With golden coats, lion’s manes and tails, and a single nearly-indestructible black horn on their foreheads, they protect their territories with ferocity.  I’m really proud of the legs on this one!~

The second is one of my own invention, the Neighsian counterpart to the western Hippogriff, the Kirifon! Portmanteau of Romanized Japanglish “gurifon” and “kirin”, the Kirifon is the result of a gryphon and a kirin, just as the hippogriff is the result of a gryphon and a pony/horse. I haven’t had a chance to headcanon much about them yet, but it’s sure to come soon! :D
