About Wukong and Macague is more or less clear, but I depicted Gibbon and Mahou in this way because I have certain Headcanons ✨✨and there is very little information on them:(
Red-Buttocked Horse-Monkey
I read somewhere that he is also called 'Red Baboon' or 'Red-Butt baboon'
Baboons themselves Cruel and belligerent , and it was difficult for him to fit into the group (flock?) Because of his good-natured character
Of all 4, he is the most good-natured, it’s very ironic, because he’s also the scariest, because of this, ordinary people and demons are afraid of him
He is very interested in people and their culture, but as I said because of his appearance they are even afraid to look at him
He’s just a big good-natured guy who can’t even kill butterflies 😭 because of this, it’s just as difficult for him to communicate with his relatives
He is the tallest and most muscular of the 4, as well as the wisest, but it is difficult for him to communicate and command
Don’t try to lie to him, he literally feels yin and yang and knows when he’s being lied to or when the interlocutor is happy with him
100% empath, but doesn’t know what to do with it
Long-Armed Gibbon
In my opinion, she is a girl, although she never clung to her gender, she can literally change her appearance and become a man
Because of her physique and appearance, I often take her for a guy
Always on a tree, she doesn’t like to be looked at from a height and so she feels safe
It’s the lowest almost like Wukung
She has the least muscles and physically she is the weakest, but magically she will be stronger than her brothers (there were a lot of inconveniences about this)
The most tactile of the group, if she liked you, you will definitely be in her long hands
Not eating meat can only fish (and rarely chicken)
Very fast, and climbs trees best of all, It’s also very lucky (don’t sit down to play cards in it)
Quite impulsive and joyful can’t sit in one place, She’s gentle only with children, otherwise she’s just stupid
Acrophobia was afraid of her, And she is afraid of snakes
Unlike her brothers, she was brought up by people since childhood, because of this it was difficult for her to fit into the society of demons and spirits and find a partner,
She couldn’t even communicate with monkeys, no one wanted to accept her and her group, there was no place for her
The first monkey who started talking to her was -Chikao mahou
Their relationship is more like a brother x sister
He was interested in the human environment in which she grew up, and she wanted to understand herself as a demon monkey
I’ve been writing this text 3 times already (kill me 🥹)
Sorry for the mistakes that will definitely be here
I really tried to translate it more or less logically
Please write your head canons for these 4 monkeys, I’ll be interested in reading
Heuehh ever since i started sleeping with my ipad i have been on a roll. The key to drawing constantly is sleeping with your art device I'M TELLING YOU!
This is a wip for a series of jttw inspired LMK drawings I plan to do.
why do i always lock in ONE WEEK BEFORE MY FUCKING MIDTERMS!!!!!!
It took me a longgg while to figure out what i wanted Tōngbì Yuánhóu’s desińgn to look like
I first was gonna make her and astronomer but then decided to make her more of an herbalist/aothecarist instead(i kinda expended her power over mountains and made it more into power/knowledge about nature i guess)
Her earlier version and the current one(still wip though)
I am thinking about if i should ship her with Chikao mahou or make them platonic besties but dunno yet
“known for wisdom, understanding human affairs, longevity, and abilities like controlling yin/yang, altering fate, and navigating the world to avoid death,“
I saw a lot plp designing him as a Mandrill but i didn’t want him to be too colorful and also i headcanon his “magic“ as red, so i thought a Hamadryas baboon would be more fitting
I gave him a yin-yang inspired fur and skin pater and also two tails to match the theme
In my version he‘s a very chill traveling Philosopher and storyteller, he travels town to town and teaches people wisdoms of life and tells story’s from far lands(shadow plays maybe)
He loves being in nature and meditating
He dislikes raising his voice and it takes a lot to provoke him but if someone manages to, they‘ll get their ass whooped
He lived with (Taoist) monks for a many years, so he is very skilled in Martial Arts (most likely Tai Chi)
He usually accompanies travelers/travel merchants to ears some money
I am still thinking about his relationship with Wukong and Macaque, it‘s probably been a few century’s since he has seen the two but he and Tongbi Yuanhou are probably closer
But him and Tongbi are definetly older that the other tow and maybe like onlder siblings to them idk
