(perhaps a question for the mod) How do you distinguish "Youkai" ponies from regular ones? Do you have lore reasons? Just winging it with what feels right?

(Sorry for the long hiatus. One of these days I will learn how to make short answers again lol)

Daisy Daedals first! She's a real cutie pie! I loved making all the curls in her hair! (Bless you, Splunge for having a pinned ref for her and making this easy)

Next! Behold! My Kōgas!

He's such a smug little stinky man. Little jerkface. He's great. I just wish his color scheme wasn't so... eurgh... I did my best though.

OKAY LORE TIME!

So basically the way Kōga said it, each Kirin is attuned with a nature spirit. To this end, all of the demons/yōkai from Inuyasha canon are Kirin. The Kirins of Nippone (as I am tentatively calling their island because I am great at puns shuddup) don't necessarily work exactly the same as the ones of Kirin Grove in Equestria, so I don't have to worry about stepping on toes or hooves or whatever. The Kirin's yōkai is what gives them their magic, and empowers their Nirik form, and some older/more powerful Kirins can transform into their yōkai (like Sesshōmaru).

(Oh also y'all gotta see the wolf and dog I drew for this comic because I largely obscured them and that's a shame. They're great.)

Alright, my post-cut rant is getting long enough! I'm going to sign it off with a shameless plug of my main blog art (which takes a non-zero amount of responsibility for why it took me so long to get back to making art for this blog whoops). Anyway! Look at my art!
