It is! I was playing around with ideas, and looked at what a lot of artists had done on Google Images. One of my first iterations had only the white-fading-into gray hide, and I liked that a lot. However, I wanted more color, really wanted to differentiate the kirin from how the unicorn looked, so started playing with the teal fringe. Various shades of blue/green are used in a lot of artist impressions, as are red manes and beards. I found that I liked my design best when I incorporated both. :)
Since the kirin can interbreed with the other kinds of horses (including the Ultimate Unicorn versions, and kirin has its own UU version), and its body cheated onto the unique horses (Typhon, Alea, and Velvet), there are literally 16 different skins you can get on a kirin, each with their own little touches that I put on them. Also, all custom horse designs work with the kirin body.
Its very colorful xD
