Qilin Death God

Finally finished this. I think this has been the most time I've spent on a single piece in a really, really long time. But over all, I think it was worth it. So here is my qilin death god, which is kind of an oxymoron if you really think about it.

This is also kind of an emotional piece for me, since it's sort of like the final nail in the coffin of one of my recent emotional struggles. I drew the sketch when I was dealing with the emergence of the same struggle, and now that it's in its dying days, I went back and polished that original emotionally charged piece. In a way, I'm glad to have it over with. I feel like I've punched my depression in the face. :3

Edit: Changed the levels of the image to be closer to what I wanted.
