[zmainly]

This is a piece I did as a comission for @artemismoorea03 's newest fic in their "Monkies Deserve Better" series!!! You can find them over at AO3 at ArtemisMoore, And please do check them out, their fics are simply GODLY ✧⁠\⁠(⁠>⁠o⁠<⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠✧

I had a lot of fun with this one, but also a lot of trouble! I was super excited to try this new lighting effect i used on a previous piece that turned out really well, but i couldn't get it to look right with the filter so i had to shade the lighting by hand to look how i wanted it ;-; on the other hand, i also learnt a lot about choosing colors according to lighting, which made this drawing take a bit longer than expected, but taught me so much at the end of the day!

And again, thank you SO MUCHH to Artemis for commissioning me! Please please PLEASEEE check them out!

Okay, honest question for all of my readers out there.

I have learned a lot about Chinese Mythology and Culture since beginning my story and have figured out ways to fix the story without completely changing it. However, this does mean going to the very first part and completely fixing what I wrote.

Should I go through and work on fixing the entire series or should I just focus more on not making the same mistakes again in the future? I plan on going through and fixing some parts in-story but if I go to the beginning and work out the kinks from the beginning it will make it easier.

Though, this does require going through 750,000 words, 200+ Chapters and a bunch of oneshots. So it’s up to you.

Should I fix the mistakes after I finish this Season 4 part? Or just keep going with the plot I have?

Okay, without giving any spoilers on Monkie Kid Season 4 I’m going to warn my readers that I wont be able to write Season 4 into the series as I was hoping to. Again, I wont go into details and those who have seen the show might be able to see why I can’t and those who haven’t watch it yet will probably understand why. That being said I have figured out a way to use the ideas I got from Season 4 into another part. It’ll be a lot different than Season 4 and be much closer to Journey to the West rather than Monkie Kid but I’ve added so much Journey to the West elements so far what’s a bit more, y’know? Now, before I even start working on any big project I will admit that I’m working on a couple of oneshots to once again build up to the next part when I write it. That being said a wheel of names has helped me take some of the names of my commenters on the series to help me further these oneshots along.

I will explain more of this when I actually get there but hopefully this helps you guys get excited for the next part no matter how big or small

*Casually turns asks on*

Let’s see how this goes, shall we?

Feel free to ask about my series, plans, or whatever. Who knows, maybe your ask will inspire something~. Plus I really want to hear from those who have read my series and are curious. I also have the anon option enabled incase you’re shy!

If the ask option never gets used that’s fine too, but now you guys at least have the option <3

Been a long time since I've been on Tumblr but now that Twitter is a dumpster fire, I've decided it might not be too bad here :p
