Welcome to The JTTW Corner!
This is the place where I'll post JTTW and other Monkey King Content from now on.
Here you can find JTTW memes, art and creations that I previously posted on my original account, @ultrabrite-dl (I only post unrelated doll customisation and personal art there, but feel free to check it out!)
Here are seven sample pages I promised (these are not final). You can see one of the painting done by my collab partner Grace Kum. Check out her tumblr for more of her paintings!
Higher than the Sky is an ‘art of’ book format that illustrates the story of the Chinese tale: the Monkey King. We tried to focus on how a character can start from being innocent and end up to be someone with so much hate and destruction; rather than just showing the typical mischievous monkey.
We are still debating on selling this or not… if its going to happen it will be around after April 2016 since we are both so busy with wrapping up with school. Thank you so much for all who showed interest in this project! You guys are the best ;D

I think this gif and its headline deserve their own post
v excited for all these new friends !!!
IS THAT SUN WUKONG THE MONKEY KING ???
OK, so I'm reading the Journey to the West book (by Wu Cheng En). I absolutely love this story; the characters, the theme, even the comedic elements. Really, a great piece of old litterature.
Anyway, my favorite character is obviously Sun Wukong (aka Monkey), and I started to look for details about his apparence for future drawings.
And early in the book, Sun Wukong, the immortal Monkey King, this unstoppable force of nature, is described by a demon as being only FOUR FEET TALL.
And I can't help myself finding this really funny because most depictions/fanarts I saw of Sun Wukong were portraying him as "normal-human-sized" (especially in the animated movies) but the truth is that he is was, in fact, a gremlin.
Bonus: Sha Wujing (aka Sandy) is canonicaly
12 FEET TALL
HE BIG.
LIKE REALLY.

It's been a while since I made some JTTW content, I missed my favorite Murderous Monkey and his Not-so-Zen Master
The Monkey King Netflix movie (2023) in a few memes because I did enjoyed it
Bonus: My 1rst GIF featuring Stick after his 10 guitar lessons
Heyooooo! The gang is here!!
Fun story: my teacher saw my Tiny Wukong figurine and said I could make something like that for my end of the year project for my sculpting class, and I decided to make the whole team!
They're one of my longest project ever made, since I had to make EVERYTHING, from sculpting the bodies, sewing the clothes and making the accessories, I'm so proud ngl
I also wanted to make their size proportionally the the book: so Sandy is like 32cm (12 inches) high while Wukong is 12cm (4,7 inches) high.
I presented them in front of a jury and basically, I can say Journey to the West got me my diploma!!
Bonus below:
THERE HE IS! MY TINY LITTLE BOY!!
I’ve been working on him for a while now and I’m SO happy with the results! He is also my first fully sculpted articulated clay doll (or action figure? idk)
Anyway, I made his outfit based on a description directly from my copy of the book and old illustrations, and I stylised it a bit; his golden circlet made with a old heart-shaped ring and I made his little cloud with yarn.
I’ll definitely take more pictures of him later, when the weather allow it.
Keep reading
I’ve had this silly idea stuck in my head all day
Based on this vine:
*sweat nervously* y-yeah, I do like those books, Tiansheng, w-why do you ask ?
Bonus:
When even your ACNH villagers knows about your JTTW obsession.
There's only 4 ways to represent Sun Wukong:
1) "Huh, yeah, that's a monkey alright"
2) Cute Gremlin
3) Furry Bait
4) "Wait a minute! That's not a monkey! That's a hot dude!"
We should make a diagram about it

Hello!! I love all the memes you do for JTTW, and I was wondering where you got your copy of the book? The pictures you take of it look really interesting, and i would love to get one of my own.
Thank you so much!
So my copy of the book is this one:
And I got it in my hometown in France in a bookshop specialized in international literature called V.O, but since it's a recent version (2021) you can easily find it online!
I must warn you still, it's a VERY ABRIDGED version of the Journey (only 340 pages long) but it's really pleasant to read :)
Maybe the real enlightenment was in the fellow demonic disciplines we befriended along the way :)
Just some love for Sandy and his gremlin big brother
Journey to the West in memes because I love this book, Part 5
