The Monkey King

Rock Star challenged us to draw the Monkey King this week. If you're a little fuzzy on Chinese culture the Monkey King (or Sun Wukong as he's known in China) is the main character in the classical Chinese epic novel Journey to the West. Read all about it here and here.

Wow Willard, you've got the master's touch. Love it. Fun entries here. Pete, yours has a really cool feel. It's like ninja curious george.

If all these monkey kings were battling for the throne of Simian Emperor, Biancalana's would totally kick everybody's ass.
