[meeshermashers]

I love the "I dream I was kissing yo- A RANDOM GIRL" "Great save, 'and totally not you'" comic so much, i think the way u make expressions is great and ur lineart is so COOL 👏✨✨✨✨

Thank you thank you! I listen to Game Grumps 70% of the time I'm working, and that bit came on while I was drawing a comic. I stopped drawing the comic specifically to draw that bit with them because it makes me laugh so much, same with this comic!

Testing out new brushes

I finally had time to make proper designs for the Trio!

Redson: Ver 1

Ver 2

I couldn't decide on if I liked it better with the braids or not so I just posted both, but anyways!

I gotta admit, I used to not like the idea of redson having Bull features (except for a small pair of horn maybe) but the concept really grew on me and now I really love it and wanted to try making my own design and I'm really proud with how it turned out.

I would've added more scars, since Guanyins throne pierced his entire body, but there came a point where it just looked like there was too much going on so I had to get rid of a few scars to tone it down, so we're just gonna say they faded over time, okay? Okay.

I also made him Miao (one of the largest ethnic minorities in southwest China) on PIF's side, and Mongolian on DBK's.

The Miao ethnicity of China has a long history, rich culture, and an ancient folk religion. Adorned in beautiful traditional clothes, possessing natural talent for singing and dancing, they live in uniquely designed indigenous architecture, which I think fits perfectly with how I imagined Princess Iron Fan and with her; Redson.

As for DBK being Mongolian, I saw someone else talking about this headcanon and I just liked it so I decided to use it, I don't really have a specific reason for it, I just thought it fit, not sure why though, it's just one of those things that makes sense even if you don't know why, you know?

Mei:

I made her taller and gave her a long dragon tail (like really long, it drags along the floor if she's not holding it up), though her scales are pretty much everywhere across her body they're most noticeable on her shoulders, thighs, and face (they're a bit hard to see in this photo because they're kinda hidden behind her hair, but I did give her scales beside her eyes)

I also gave her horns these little spiral designs around them, gave her sharper nails, and designed her ears to look like coral, since she's a water dragon and I thought they looked cool.

Honestly idk what else to say about her design, I didn't have anything specific in mind when designing her, I kinda just had to wing it, but I'm happy with how it turned out :)

(I also made her Bengali, on her dad's side, but it's not really important or has any reason behind it, just a headcanon I've had for a while, don't know where it came from though)

MK:

Alot of people have speculated that the monkey form we see during the fight against Azure in season 4 isn't MK's full form yet, that we're just seeing a fraction of what he's yet to become, based on the fact that while he has the weird side burns, the tail and the face marking, he also lacks a natural skin tone, they didn't give him a proper nose etc, so I wanted to play with the idea.

I decided to make him this strange mix between human and monkey, leaving him pretty much human with the addition of his tail(s), and weird li'l monkey feet.

(I was also gonna give MK more arm/leg hair, it was in my first sketch, but I forgot to add them when I was doing the line art and didn't realize until after I saved it as a jpeg, so that's my bad, but I'm gonna add it in to any other art I make)

It's also a bit hard to see in this, but I designed his staff with more details, specifically adding dragon-esque imagery to the Golden ends, this is because (for anyone who's new to the fandom/hasn't read JTTW) Wukong's staff was originally one of the several pillars that held up the sea in the dragon palace, until he stole it and shrunk it down to use as his weapon.

I also did MK's clones :)

Porty MK:

I gave him stripes of coloured hair and gave his tails all different colours, though I don't think he would actually dye it, instead I like to think that he would use that really crappy dollar store spray in hair dye (or hair chalk). I kept the fishnet clothes that I added in my originally design of him for my headcanons post, and decided to give him striped elbow length fingerless gloves.

I also gave him a cropped shirt, ripped shorts and these weird fingerless glove-esque shoes for convenience, since regular shows seem like they would be uncomfortable.

Edit: my dumbass forgot Porty's stupid print jacket 😭

Artist MK:

For Artist MK I gave him overalls and a jacket over it, which he wears specifically for when he's doing paintings so he doesn't ruin too many of his actual clothes (I know I said that this was inspod by Circusapple, which it still is, but this is almost exactly what I wear when I'm painting too, just in different colours).

I also gave him those gloves that digital artists wear so they're hands don't accidently trigger something on the screen because everyone knows that every artist just walks around with their art glove on even when it's not necessary.

Delivery MK:

I have to admit, I was never a big fan of MK's work uniform just being his regular clothes with a work jacket thrown over it so I wanted to try and make him look a little more professional and decided to instead give him a chef coat (similar to the one Pigsy wears on the show as well), with a logo for the restaurant on the chest, along with it I gave him plain black pants, since casual red jeans didn't seem very professional (I know he's just a delivery person, but if you were to look at pretty much any food corporation, even people who do deliveries have to wear uniform, so it's always been kinda strange to me that he's just in regular clothes). 

The shoes were harder to make professional given the whole "half-monkey" thing so I opted to give him the same strange fingerless glove-esque shoes for comfort and convenience, but made them plain black as well.

[meeshermashers]

Welp! They're finally here; the Demon Bull Family - Journey To The West design! Sorry for the wait :)

(I wound up changing PIF's earrings)

I'm not sure if this is Canon but I read somewhere that Redson was around 300 years old during Journey to the west, but looked around 9, so that would mean demons age only once every 30 years. Again, I'm not sure if this is true, if anyone does, by all means let me know :))

Part 3 of my JTTW designs!

Drawing Ao Lie in both his human (?) And horse form was a nightmare, animals are usually my least favorite thing to draw (and I still had a very difficult time figuring out what I was doing), but I'm proud of how it turned out! Also it's not important but I do hc Ao Lie as knowing how to play an Èrhú and I wanted an excuse to draw him playing one.

(Sandy and Pigsy were both vaguely inspired by @/Digitalagepulao's JTTW art)

I wasn't entirely sure what to do with Tripitaka's outfit while I was drawing him so there isn't much detail, but I added some extra patterns while drawing his headshot (I used @/Chiptrillino's ATLA Air Nomad art as a mini reference for the pattern and beads), I would've gone back and added it to his full body piece if I hadn't already saved it as a jpeg. Sorry :)

Drawing the Camel Ridge Trio next for my JTTW redesigns, but it might not be my next post, just a heads up!

[meeshermashers]

Part 4! The Camel Ridge Trio is here

I honestly think Peng's outfit is a bit boring compared to the others, I don't dislike it, but it's kinda hard to do much with they're body type since he's a bird demon.

(BTW, I used Erraday's (twt/insta) art of Yellow-tusk as a reference for his body type/pose because.. I literally cannot find any decent references for anthropomorphic elephant characters - at least none that fit my vision of the character)

[meeshermashers]

Part 5 of my JTTW designs, I realized the only other female characters I've drawn so far are PIF and Chang'e so I figured it's time for more gals

I was originally going to draw the Lady Bone Demon with more skeleton-like features but I didn't really like any of the versions I tried so I decided that making her look more human and innocent may be more fitting anyway (especially since this art is during JTTW), because in the novel she depicts herself as an innocent young mortal to deceive Tripitaka, and opted to give her some skeletal motifs in her clothes and hair decor rather than her physical body.

(Scorpion queens clothes were inspod by one of @/chiptrillino's beautiful Ty Lee designs!)

(Ignore the fact that my watermark still says 2024 in the first 3 pics)

[meeshermashers]

Part 2 of my JTTW designs are finally here!

Did I say I was gonna draw the LMK characters based on how I thought they looked during JTTW? Yes.

Did I immediately go back on my word to draw Macaque in Chinese Opera attire instead despite knowing 100% that this is not at all what he would wear during JTTW? Also yes.

It's fine though, I'm just gonna turn this into my own personal little thing ig lol

I have to admit, I'm not super happy with Nezha, so I might re-do him later on if I think of something else.

(I know Macaque's wound doesn't really look like he was pierced through the eye with a staff, but in all fairness I wasn't particularly eager to look at any references so this is the best you're getting👍)

Wukong and the pilgrims are next! :)
