request Need Help With Character Design

[DJStrike 30]

I've been working on a design for a character to use when I make MLP content for YouTube. I tried to make a Pixiu, which is a Chinese mythological creature that is a mix between a horse, the Chinese dragon, and the Chinese lion, in an MLP style that could be appealing to look at but I'm not that good of an artist and I need help.

 

I'm having the most issues with the mane, fore paws, color scheme, and that I'm not that good at creating things in MLP style.

 

If anyone could please help me with the design or has any advice I would greatly appreciate it.

How's this? Took me quite a long time to decide on how to translate it to MLP style, but it was worth it! This is a very interesting species, I commend any other artists who will take the time to draw it!

That's so awesome,   Thank you  Thank you Thank you!!! The only other thing I have to say other than how awesome this is is, and this is entirely my fault   because I couldn't draw it well, that the front legs have lion paws. But this is Soooooooooooooo awesome.
