Artist's Comments

There is a whole subgenre of furry art known as "Big Pants" art, which is alternately applauded and reviled, depending on who you talk to. In a vaguely whimsical mood, and trying to exaggerate some features in accordance with my current I-will-practice-stylization-if-it-kills-me regimen, I cooked up this kirin (an Asian unicorn) and her bowl of ramen, inspired by all those big pants artists out there.

The common wisdom holds that "big pants" are drawn simply to avoid drawing legs. Various artists will protest this, but I'd like to say that in this, single, particular case, common wisdom was absolutely, positively correct. And it felt good, too. Damnit.

I like drawing baggy pants simply because I like wearing them, but a very positive thing about them is, indeed, that you don't have to draw the legs X3 But at the same time you have lots of creases in the pants to take care of, so.. yeah. Sweet picture :) (Smile) Love the unicorn!

Fan art is fine by me--I'd love to see someone else's take!

ahhh the big pants.... i've often pondered drawing the big pants myself... they jsut look so fun!

but i think i'm all the more pleased with your unicorn.... so few people are actually aware of their exsistance in mythology.... i generally tend to prefer them over the more graceful european unicorn.... nice work! i hope you like 'fan-art' 8) (Cool) ... if you don't mind, i'd like to take a shot at this Kirin

kirin! Hardly anyone draws those critters. Realistic or cartoon, you nail it very well!

LOL I can't draw legs (or anything). I don't draw big pants though. Close up of character or portraits is my way of hiding them. heehee 4 out of 5 dentists recommend brushing your teeth!

Nice work!
