Lore accurate Wukong lmao
Wukong, what have you done this time!
What movies remind you to suntang/freepeaches? I just watched howl's moving castle and it remind me so much to them
I really like this scene from Monkey, it gave me some chills, specially the persistent humming in the background
I always wonder why did Tang, Pigsy and Sandy reincarnanted to begin with because, acording to jttw at the end of the journey the pilgrims were supposed to have ascended to deities, so why did these three come down to the mortal realm again?
Y'all why did Tripitaka reincarnated?? What did this devoted monk do to deserve be reincarnated into a Wukong fanboy? ðŸ˜
This is soooo good! I LOVE IT! I, too, can't wait for Season 5
journey to the west is an underated gem (and i need lmk s5)
IM SO PROUD OF THIS PIECE AND LIKE GROWLSSS the lighting was so scary to face but i did it. yipee!1! :DDD
going back to my roots with this warm up that went out of hand
Tang is the princess peach of the jttw gang
Soooooo…this is how monkey king sees Sanzang? Huh. That’s not very straight.
Some Tang Sanzang concept art that I don’t think I’ll finish anytime soon, but whateva
The scar on his head is from a spat with wukong gone wrong, spur of the moment which he regretted after he realized what he had done-
he waited for his sifu to use the fillet tightening sultra to punish him, he’s shaking, apologizing profusely in a small voice. To his surprise he doesn’t feel the painstaking ache of the band squeezing. Instead, when he looks up he finds Tripitaka, his sifu, looking at him with a horrified look on his face. But…. He’s not scared of wukong… he’s scared of himself, if he could cause such a reaction in this godly simian, a demon that the heavens feared, then…what he had been doing…it wasn’t right, it couldn’t be.
-Lololol that’s my head canon/ my own home brew story of Jttw that I’ve been making in my mind, I like to imagine that’s the point where they’re relationship starts to turn for the better and instead of reluctant companions they become friends who wish to protect each other in every way, no matter the cost. They are representative of the mind and the heart, like in most cases they clash and argue, resent and fear each other, but when finding balance and harmony throughout their journey the mind and heart grow closer and work as one. They’re relationship to me is something more than friendship, it’s love but not romantic love, but it’s also not familial love like a father and son, though some translations of the book describe their relationship as such I’d like to think of it as something deeper. Again not romantic kissy love. These babes are Buddhists lololol but it is more than friendship. I might post my version of the story on here and you can interpret as you please, father son, a couple, friends, enemies. But know that in the end what him and sun wukong have is complex, it can not be summed up in one word. At least that’s my take on them,
Also the other scars are from demons, getting captured and such, the scar between his eyebrows he got as a baby, and the read on his wrists are from rope burn, again from being tied up and captured.
I like to see the monk as having a fit build despite acting and appearing weak, though he does not know what to do with this rocking bod he has. (This drawing was inspired by gidget… I loved their reference for their tang and decided I would make my own concept sheet depicting his scars and body type as well.)
I want to start posting my dynamic stuff on here and actually drawing my Jttw ideas… I just get really perfectionist about them and end up only liking the art after a year goes by and it’s too late to post them….
If you made it here tell me what you think, I’ve spent like 5 minutes writing this and my cat is chirping angrily at me cause she wants me to pet her lolololol so pouty, my cute baby is throwing a fit
Sorry if you think these takes are trash it’s just my headcanons, they might change overtime though
