Expedition Pilgrims

Sha Wujing (435cm): His outfit is mostly inspired by Mongolian clothes since he's found in the Gobi desert stretch of the journey. His bangles are made of fossil bone, and he can use the waist cloth as a headwrap during adverse weather. His markings are inspired by African Lungfish and Mudfish fins, as they are species that exist somewhere between water and dry air. The beasts on his knees are an extension of him, and he can see and speak through them as needed. His beard and long hair can have Ghibli physics depending on his mood and emotions. Zhu Wuneng (~300cm): Inspired by Northern Tibetan clothes, as that's the region the group recruits him. Traditional clothes tend to have way more accessories and golden details so I had to simplify a bit. His features are a mix of wild boars and Indonesian babirusa, with the iconic bristles on his head. I leaned on ceremonial Tibetan swords and necklace beads for the decorations on his rake. His vest can be closed, he just prefers not to most of the time. Sun Wukong (125cm): I've already commented on his design over here, but I'll elaborate that the yellow shirt is the one he gained from Tripitaka soon after he was released, while the pants and red half-robe were the garments he was given by Guan Yin. The hoops on his feet and purple beads were reacquired back in Huaguoshan when he first fled the pilgrimage, heading to his family instead of Ao Guang's palace. (A-ma and Jinju gave them to him so he'll always have something to home to remember them by, as well as where he first started, as the beads were gained during his lessons with Subodhi.) Tripitaka (163cm): This is but one of his many outfits since travel can be rough on clothes, and even more so when you get kidnapped by demons and thrown off your horse all the time. He wears the usual orange monk robes, with some kind of travel clothes over them. He gains some fur boots from Boquin for cold weather but usually prefers sandals most of the time. He seldom uses the cassock and crown he received from Guan Yin, save for when he pays respects to temples and holy sites, but the staff is a constant companion. Ao Lie (167cm, 130cm at the shoulder as horse): Being effectively in exile until the journey is complete, he wears less fancy clothes than he usually would as a prince, but his status still shows. I tried to balance more casual hanfu of the era with some armor parts, like the waist guard and armored boots. He was given the skill to shapeshift into a horse by Guan Yin when she commanded him to wait for the chosen pilgrim monk, so he can shift at will, but preferably when the tack has been taken off. Speaking of, tack is lost and replaced multiple times during the journey, so I didn't depict any specific one.

my Expedition AU designs and heights for the five lads, ive spent so much time on this its not even funny lololol but hey it's done!! i'm free!!

I am so sorry if I got the wrong person but I swear you drew a memey fanart where Nerevar was sincerely saying "People die when they are killed..." with the most earnest look, and in the next panel, Ayem and Voryn were in agony. I have been trying to find this art for ages and I am at a total loss. If you have the link please show me bc I need to relive it.

[sixteenthchapel]

That feeling when some weird guy in a volcano keeps invading your dreams calling you "Lord Nerevar" and asking where your matching friendship bracelet went…

Gu Kaizhi(顾恺之)'s work "The Goddess of the River Luo / Luoshen Fu Tu" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty had a profound influence on people's impression of gods in all subsequent Chinese dynasties.Although the original painting has been lost, there are many copied ver in various dynasties China.

Wu Daozi, who is known as the "painting fairy",his works about godness can also be seen to be deeply influenced by the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Therefore, we can often see Chinese gods (except Buddhist Bodhisattvas) wearing attire in the style of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
