The six eared macaque is spared!!
Now he has the opportunity to pester the group (in a less lethal manner).
[ it is important to note that I am heavily referencing OverlySarcasticProductions’ style, as they served as an inspiration. These are not the actual events of the story, and I do not claim their work as my own! ]

Hello I have an question!
How do you do character design and make yourself come up with creative ideas for them? Outfits, fantasy, etc
I’ll appreciate all and any advice :)
It is very difficult for me to come up with ideas off the top of my head, which is why I’m so grateful that the world makes ideas for me.
For example, the silver horned demon brother, from one of my JTTW comics was annoying for me to think of. “What has horns that isn’t an animal, something ancient and creepy?” I had been looking through videos of cave formations when I saw a kind of build up that looked an awful lot like mushrooms. Bam! One discovery snowballed into this spooky design of the silver horned demon, a decaying eye filled form that lives deep in a cave with his brother
For the Queendom of women, I didn’t even need to think of anything. I simply researched the actual Queendom and based their clothing off of the real people. They have tons of beautiful art and scenery as well, so it was easy to work with once I knew what I was looking for through research
💥WARNING, MAGGOTS SPIDERS AND BODY HORROR❌ I couldn’t find a way to blur the images??
For the design of the seven spider women, I was very unsatisfied with their role in the book. I wanted them to leave a lasting impression with their limited time. I didn’t change anything about their story, but I instead used the fear of insects and impregnating for their monster design, right before Wukong kills and defeats them. They’re based off the wasps that lay their eggs inside spiders, and they cocoon together in an amalgamated form like that of a spider nest, leaving them as horrific humam-spider monsters

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

Part 2 of my favorite JTTW graphic novel scenes because I ran out of picture space
Wukong’s interactions with children is my absolute favorite thing ever, I’ve only seen/read a few adaptations but I’ve heard that he’s super gentle and playful around kids in multiple of them and it’s so sweet!
I can’t even really explain why I like these panels so much, I just enjoy the dialogue a lot :)
HIS FIRST INSTINCT IS TO PROTECT THE BABY
Wukong interacting with children >>>>>> anything, also he has clearly taken care of monkey infants on Mount Huaguo, just look at how properly he’s holding the baby my heart
Yup. Great way to end a monster fight. Getting peed on. Karma is a bitch, Wukong
Honestly I just really want to see all of the pilgrims interacting with and taking care of a kid, I think it would be so cute
(Also, for those who haven’t read JTTW: Great Sage Equal to Heaven = Wukong, Heavenly General = Wujing)
THIS PANEL. THE ART. THE COLORS. THE LIGHTING. THE POSE. THE DETAILS. RAAAAAAAAHHH IT’S SO GOOD I WANNA EAT CHAIKO’S ART STYLE

What do the JTTW crew think about the six eared Macaque joining the journey?
He hasn’t officially ‘joined’ yet, but has been following them for a good couple of days at a distance. (Trying to be polite)
None of them really know why, but Sandy and Wukong are pretty sure he won’t attack them.

Pilgrim sleep Head canons! (Baiie isnt here because he's normal LMAO)
Sanzang + Wukong: Wukong lays on Sanzang's chest so he can't be kidnapped in the middle of the night and the stone weight on his chest makes Sanzang snore pretty loud (he is barely breathing)
Ao Lie + Wujing: both Sleep with their eyes open. Ao Lie curls up like a snake on a branch + wujing stands there like a fish floats- menacingly
