The Ch'i-Lin's Prophecy

Medium: Ink and colored pen on paper
I was inspired by a Chinese legend about Confucius. It's been said that before the great philosopher was born, his mother went to pray at a temple. There, she encountered a ch'i-lin (a Chinese unicorn). The magical beast told her that she would bear a son who would become a great but throneless king. So the image at the top is Confucius' future mother outside the temple meeting the ch'i-lin, and at the bottom is Confucius as a baby.
