Testing different ways to draw Mei & Red Son based on my friend's various influences in the fandom, and finally Dragonfruit.. IDK how to do couple stuff so I'm doing my best-- my friend REALLY likes dragonfruit so I have to learn how to draw this to feed them lol.

First image with Mei & Red Son is how I usually draw them in my style, for a point of reference.

awww someone's flustered~

Will I ever stop? Maybe. Just not today, or this week, you know, maybe not even this month.. I can't help it. I can't even pick a favorite one, where's that one tumblr post that said just do an ot3 of them? Maybe that's what I need..

More Erlang x Monkies, I saw that some artists give them more stylized / longer hair and I.... I cannot draw them any other way now lol.. Some romantic handling, and another type of hairstyle for Erlang where he ties back the sides (idk like asuna from sao ?) Also some endearing pet names, Erlang thinks of SWK as this chill, positive, do-everything kind of person, and his hair perfectly reflects the rays of the sun, so "Sunshine", and then in theme, SWK calls him "Starlight" the way he always seems to operate at night. For Macaque of course, everyone knows he's cat-like... Erlang Shen being as cheery and outgoing as he is, completely embodies the dog personality, so this is also a no-brainer !

Bonus under the cut ...

celebrate e-catboy erlang yippee

Side Character Shenanigans... both macaque drawings are easily in my personal top tier LMK fanart, i know the second one isnt even colored but if it WAS.... i actually couldnt finish coloring the scarf for him in the first drawing because i liked it so much, i felt like i wouldnt be able to look away-- does anyone else get that? when you like a character so much that if you draw them, you love them more, so you dont finish drawings to save yourself ? idk maybe im weird but he already has such a strong hold over me, imagine if he won..

i wont go feral, i swear.

Uhhh hello, lego monkie kid fandom ? can i show you my fan design of erlang shen (inspired by smite and 1 frame during the celestial battle vs. wukong) ?? :') now i am one of you guys right--

Done entirely on whiteboard, from spitballing a random design to canon interaction with SWK (using VO line from SMITE)

Extra design stuff!

Some Erlang Shen Ships!

I looked it up and it turns out I'm super unoriginal & specifically the chinese fandoms for LMK/JTTW are big yang jian (erlang) fans, im sorry if my design or storytelling offends any longtime fans, or if i gave the impression that i owned the idea to begin with (i hope that never happened, because i stated my inspiration multiple times, but i just want to be sure!)

and in looking it up, i found the common ship names for SWK, Macaque, and for fun my friend recommended drawing him w/ Chang'e, so her too ! (and then i immediately made a design for hou yi, i felt guilty lol)
