i love the critter, that is such a great design... it kinda looks like a camel, a deer, a lizard, a horse and a dog put together and painted a lovely shade of pinky purple. ^_^ *gives cookie*
Actually reminds me of an East Asian mythological animal. Like a Kirin though they're more of a scaled, firey unicorn. The pose is well done too, though it's a rather common one being used for thousands of years. Still a good pose, but maybe try a variety too.
