Well-drawn OCs are well drawn. But still OCs.

^^ The devil is a kirin? You can't fool me, I know every mythical creature in Greek and Norse mythology and I've never heard of this thing before. Where's it from?

>Hippogriff
Aren't they supposed to be, I dunno, half griffin? Where's the eagle head?

Also, that's the most sparkledog looking Qilin I've ever seen.

Still, better drawn than most OCs

Hippogriff is technically the product of a griffon fucking a mare. So in this case a griffon fucked a pony, so I made it slightly different xD I couldn't think of a proper name for this type of hippogriff, so it can just be considered a branch off a line of hippogriffs.

Kirins walk on water and don't trample grass as they pass. They're supposed to have a bunch of other abilities that vary from individual to individual.

Hippogriffs basically a Pegasi with claws and an omnivorous diet. And of mixed parentage.

They actually fit into the existing... genre pretty good.

I'm pretty sure hippogriffs have the eagle heads as well.

I just referenced this pic:
ht tp://farm3.static.flickr.com/2499/3847027500_31b74413b2_b.jpg
and now I see they didn't include hippogriffs.

If you want to go into douchebag level of technical, the etymology of "griffin" is

c.1200 from Late Latin gryphus, misspelling of grypus, variant of gryps (gen. grypos), from Greek gryps (gen. grypos) "curved, hook-nosed," in reference to its beak.

So on the one hand, the 'griff' suffix could reference a curved beak rather than a wholecloth bird. But as far as I know, a hippogriff is a griffon with a horse backend rather than a lion.

The hippogriff is from the 16th century AD. The poem 'Orlando Furioso' where in a wizard bids griffon and mare to mate so he can have a flying horse.

And yes it originally has the beak. But the source material should adjust to the current use.

Obscure, well, they're not as cute I don't think xD I don't particularly care for eagles, or birds in general for that matter. But that's not really why I didn't give Orlando here a beak. He seemed to fit into the pony world better with an adorable pony face.

Anon, that does make sense. So I'll REALLY have to think of a proper name for his species xD

Strat, there's actually some variations of the kirin with a single horn, and some of them actually look like antlers. Meiyou Mingzi's horn would look better if drawn realistically, how I draw antlers is cartoony, and since she's a "good" character, I gave it softer curves. Whether it translated good or not's up to the viewer xD

feather, yeah they typically do. I think I saw a horse-headed hippogriff in one other picture, so you can tell it's not really favored or thought of rather. Probably cuz like Anon said, "griff" means "hook-nosed"
