huh. i thought that by making the girin fam they were acknowledging the westernization of their design, i guess I misread bc their design is ... well, idk that i'd say their design is "westernized" necessarily. but it's not at all what id call "fully leaning into" the inspiration. it's more "qilin inspired" than "a qilin". (replace qilin with girin or kirin or gilen)
