I tried to figure the design of Ao Lie’s impulsive older sister (it’s said in lmk wiki that she’s the pearl holding Longnu, the longnu that follow Guanyin), along with Muzha and Jinzha (it would funny if Muzha got confused with Nezha for once)
Manifesting Red Son being autistic baby, Mei and Nezha dynamics, and also the fact that Nezha can secretly lift the staff :)
My school has YET to renew my Adobe subscription so in the mean time, i go back to my roots : ✨ paper ✨
And watercolors
Pictures are bad because…frankly I can’t be bothered
So some freenoodles with Tang and Pigsy because they are underrated and I love MK’s gay dads
some sonas, some Monkeys, @kyotabasblog ‘s Xiangpei and baby Nezha being babies,
Some more baby Nezha, research for a Muzha design (for now he looks more like a character from Epic than a chinese deity but, y’know, I’m working on it, so comments and critics from more cultured people than me are much appreciated)
Some Nezha training his troops that remind me too much of ballet lessons
and that fire breath from the S4EP10 Stb that i made way too late to be bothered to clean up
I was looking into some idols my friend Pilgrim Sun had referred to me and I happened upon numerous idols of both Muzha and Jinzha.
Ordinarily this wouldn’t be a problem, however Muzha is known primarily to use the Hooks of Wu and not melon hammers. Similarly, Jinzha is known to use a staff somewhat similar to Sun Wukong but is pictured to be using two swords. This may be a regional difference between China and Taiwan, but something for me to look into further nonetheless.
Images of idols of Nezha from Taiwan for reference (the first image is from Pilgrim Sun).
Birb be stealing something ✨shAyneY✨ Muzha encounters the phoenix child. Part 1:D
I haven't been posting much but I did finish this and I wonder if I should color it or not- so yeh I kinda got lazy with it but I'll be posting more! I guess? Hopefully y'all like it:D
Fans of Lego Monkie Kid, did you know that Nezha (哪吒), this guy ...
... has siblings?! He is the youngest of three brothers. The oldest is Jinzha (金吒) and the middle child is Muzha (木吒; a.k.a. Mucha, 木叉). In Journey to the West, the former is, to my knowledge, only mentioned once. However, the latter is mentioned many times. Muzha serves as the Bodhisattva Guanyin's (觀音) disciple and protector, and he wields an iron staff.
All three play a much larger role in Investiture of the Gods (Fengshen yanyi, 封神演義, c. 1620).
I recently acquired religious statues of the brothers. Having all three from the same set is extremely rare. So, I consider myself very lucky to have found them!
Jinzha carries two seven-star swords (qixing jian, 七星劍). He stands on golden drums.
Nezha holds his trademark fiery spear and golden hoop. He stands on fire wheels.
And Muzha wields two melon hammers (gua chui, 瓜錘). He stands on golden orbs.
Y/n: Isn't it weird that people kill mosquitoes just because they're annoying?
Nezha: Damn, if people did that to each other, Muzha would've killed me years ago.
