I like drawing Kuro. He's just a little guy :)
+ another one I like a little less under read more
And I'll use this read more to also remind everyone here that reblogs are better than likes. Support artists! Reblog their art! This doesn't just apply to me! Go through your likes and reblog the art you liked!
As always, image description is in ALT.

My DTYIS took so long, that by the time I posted it, I felt like it didn’t really fit my style or skill level anymore so I thought “why not do it again?” SO HERE WE ARE
Third times the charm✨😎
Me rambling about all the little details:
For this one took a lot of inspiration from the wrathful aspect of the Bodhisattva of wisdom Mahakala (I did a research project on him a while ago and the iconography stuck with me). He was mostly prayed to to protect troops during wars and battles so I thought it fit well with Wukong and his warform. The five jewel ornaments in Wukongs hair are reference to Mahakala’s five skulls, which also represent the five wisdom‘s. The skullcap and knife of course reference the spread of wisdom and destruction of ignorance.
For what Wukong’s outfit I thought since he doesn’t necessarily need armor, it would be fun to reference opera! I did have to change the colors tho from his opera outfit to better mesh with the color scheme.
And for the last bit- the ruyi bang. For my redesign, I included lotus buds that bloom when wukong reaches enlightenment. But I wanted to continue having the staff change with along with him- so in place of the lotus buds, I decided to put Dragon Pearl for the time spent at Ao Guangs palace. Dragon pearls are usually flaming, and that also reminds me of the Buddhist mani, wish granting jewels (which can also be flaming).

A scene that's always rotating in my head is the end of All Things when Scully starts chasing the person in the cap down the street, and, just like magic or fate, that person turns into Mulder. And he randomly starts talking about his trip and you can SEE a weight being lifted off of her. She spent the whole episode ashamed of herself and her choices and just by being with him she just feels so at ease. It's so easy being with him and loving him. Like it never was with anyone before. And then they go home and drink tea and she tells him all about what's been going on and she's so tired from all she's been through and he's such a calming presence that she just drifts off in sleep. It's so beautiful
