updated Sun Wukong / Lao Sun sheet 🌺

talking about him more v

I’d drawn my first interpretations of him about a year ago (roughly), and was not satisfied with him. I had to take a step back from posting JTTW, just so I could figure out what I wanted. So! Here is a version I enjoy more.

This Sun Wukong sticks pretty closely to the original book, but I based him more on Hanuman. Also, since Flower Fruit Mountain / Mount Huaguo is a giant community of primates from around the world all in one spot, I think Sun Wukong would have a little bit more influences from his people.

His staff is often decorated in various flowers, jewelry, and pieces from opponents he’s beat. As well as his general wear, with many pieces of fabric retelling his and his home’s story.

Also, I thought he wouldn’t regularly haul his armor around his kingdom, only during times of battle or past the Waterfall Curtain.

He is still based on a rhesus macaque! 🐒

Thank you, and sorry for my lack of JTTW posting.

No new posts... something happened hue 🥹 enjoy Cowboy! Wukong i stupidly made, requested by @skymoral

A flirty and infamous bounty hunter who has his sight on a certain shaman the town trusts. Everywhere she goes, certain trouble arouse. She's a threat, a datura walking around with each steps, her eyes full of knowledge.

I want to kiss your wukong, lovingly, on the cheek or forehead and tell him how lovely he is. Before skittering away like a snake.

I love your Sun Wukong! He’s absolutely beautiful and I want to give him all the love in the world and tell him he’s handsome every day!

You definitely could and he would eat up the attention

Should you? Probably not, because his ego would grow ten times over lol

but thank you!! I’m glad you like the design, I’ll draw more of him in the future

for u anon

Lao Sun

One of my fondest childhood memories is watching the TVB Chinese drama, "Journey to the West" (1996, 1998) with my siblings. The series is based off one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature by the same name. The story chronicles the pilgrimage to India of a Buddhist monk, his three disciples and a dragon prince who takes the form of a horse. 

On a whim, I recently decided to pop one of the old VHS tapes into the VCR. The memories just came flooding back. And I had a revelation. 

At the beginning of this new point of my life, which I dub the "Rediscovery" phase, I always felt stressed; restless. I felt I needed to be doing something with my life that I considered "productive" ...It was while watching JTW and reliving those feelings of joy that I recalled just how strongly I'd hoped, as a kid to have the strength and smarts and guts of the lead disciple, Lao Sun.

It's all such a blur, the future. And I'm such a planner. I want to be able to see that picture of the future me crystal clear. But maybe sometimes it's ok to let go of the reigns and see where life takes you. I've never done it before, and perhaps now it's time. And who knows? I could find my inner Lao Sun in the course of my adventure.
