Journey to the West Chapter 60

Princess Iron-Fan welcoming home the Demon Bull King like:

Welcome back to this week's chapter of Journey to the West with @journeythroughjourneytothewest. This week we finally get to meet the infamous Bull Demon King we've been hearing so much about. So let's get into it shall we?

We start this chapter off with the Mountain Deity from last chapter giving us some backstory information. When Monkey asks if the Bull Demon King is the one who set the mountain on fire, the Mountain God is hesitant to correct him, but correct him he does. It turns out that Sun Wukong is actually the one who set the mountain ablaze. Despite the fact that I already have 'arson' listed on his rap sheet, Monkey takes offense to this accusation. However, back during his troubled youth when Monkey was finally captured by heaven and placed in Laozi's brazier, when Monkey made his grand escape he knocked a few of the fiery bricks to earth and well... the rest is history. The fire has been roaring ever since. And the Mountain God who used to be the worker who tended to the brazier, was blamed for the incident and banished to look after this mountain.

All that's well and good, but Monkey still doesn't know what any of this has to do with the Demon Bull king, so the Mountain God explains further. Turns out that the Demon Bull King is the husband of Princess Iron Fan, however the two are currently separated, since the Bull Demon King decided to move in with his mistress. A rich fox demoness, who used the fortune her deceased father left her, to use as a dowry to convince the Bull Demon King to leave his wife and come protect her instead. And despite the fact that the Bull Demon King hasn't seen his wife since, it's up to Sun Wukong to convince him to lend him his wife's fan. And if he succeeds he'll do three good deeds in one- he'll clear the way for them to continue their journey west, spare the locals from having to deal with global warming 700 years to early, and obtain a pardon for the Mountain God so he can return to his place in heaven.

Now armed with the full story, Monkey takes his leave of them and heads for the Bull Demon King's new hideout, leaving Sandy and Pigsy to guard Tripitaka, he also tells the Mountain good to stick around to keep them company for now. Personally though, I just think Wukong has limited expectations for Sandy and Pigsy being able to watch after Tripitaka, they're overdue for a demon trying to eat him after all. So Monkey arrives at the mountain but decides to ask for directions to the exact cave, so he stops the first beautiful young woman he see's to chat with.

The girl of course is terrified to be addressed by this terrifying monk- but Monkey presses on, and tells her he has been sent by Princess Iron Fan to fetch the Bull Demon King and asks if she knows where he can find his cave. This turns out to be a bit of a miscalculation since this beautiful woman just so happens to be the fox Demoness who took a position as the Bull Demon Kings new concubine. And she is not to happy to find out that the wife has been asking about him, and flies into a rage. She insults Princess Iron Fan, calling her shameless for wanting more, when the Bull Demon King already sends her riches every month.

Turns out however that Sun Wukong doesn't think very highly of mistresses, and he also flies into a rage, yelling that she should be the one ashamed of herself for using her riches to steal someone else's husband. This scares the girl into running home so she can get said stolen husband to do what she bought him to do- protect her. This has the added benefit of luring Sun Wukong right to their doorstep, so at least he got his directions in the end after all.

So the girl rushes inside the cave and finds the Bull Demon King, and tells him all about the scary monk, who chased her all the way here that was sent by Princess Iron Fan. The Demon Bull King comforts her, but is still a bit confused by the situation, since he didn't even know his wife even knew any other men, let alone had any in her employ. Regardless he decides to head outside to take a look for himself on who it might be. Only to be politely greeted by Sun Wukong with a bow. The Bull Demon King, returns the polite greeting, but isn't exactly happy to see him, because of the whole Red Son situation.

Monkey once again tries to explain that the Red Son situation isn't as bad as it sounds, and also not his fault. However, even if the Demon Bull King is willing to forgive him for that incident, there is still the fact that he's been chasing his concubine about to deal with. Monkey says that he only got angry with her because she yelled at him first, and asks that he let it go. The Bull Demon King agrees to let it slide, and tells Monkey to leave, however Monkey refuses since there is still one more thing he needs from the Bull Demon King. Monkey tells the Demon King that he needs to borrow the palm-leaf fan so he can extinguish the fire on the mountain and continue his journey west. So it would be just swell if he could convince his wife to lend it to them, and he'll even be sure to bring it right back to them.

The Bull Demon King however has heard enough, and has no intention of lending Sun Wukong the fan, after he has insulted his entire family like this. So the two begin to fight, which Monkey is perfectly fine with, he's always game to spar with a buddy, despite the fact that said buddy is definitely trying to kill him in earnest. So the two fight for a while, with no clear winner, until suddenly the Demon Bull King receives a dinner invite from a messenger. Upon receiving this message, the Bull Demon King tells Wukong they are going to have to take a rain check on this fight, and leaves to attend the banquet. With Monkey of course secretly following from behind.

Monkey follows the Demon Bull King all the way to a a lovely clear water lagoon, and Monkey figures that the demon must have gone in. So Monkey follows suit by turning into a crab, and sinking to the bottom, where he see's the Demon Bull Kings ride- a golden eyed beast tied outside, and a party in full swing, where the Demon Bull King is seated as a guest of honor. Unfortunate before Monkey can continue his streak of party crashing a dragon spots him and calls him out as an interloper.

Monkey plays innocent, and begs for them to spare him, saying he's just a simple crab, who has never been here before and is unfamiliar with proper etiquette. The old dragon is willing to let the incident slide, but Monkey is still kicked out of the party. However Monkey is fine with that, since the Demon Bull King doesn't seem like he's going to be leaving the party any time soon, and even when he does, he probably still won't agree to lend him the fan. So instead Monkey does what he probably should have just tried from the very beginning and turns into the Bull Demon King, to deceive Princess Iron fan. He also steals the Bull Demon King's ride while he's at it, probably to make the farce more believable so that she doesn't try and give him a quiz about when her birthday is like her son did.

So Sun Wukong arrives back at Princess Iron Fan's doorstep disguised as the Bull Demon King, and has two maids announce his presence to Princess Iron Fan. She is very enthused to see him after all this time, and they settle down to talk and have tea together. After a while, Wukong is able to steer the conversation over to her fan, and she tells him the story that he already knows, about how he came by to hassle her for her fan, but that she managed to trick him with a fake. Monkey asks where she's hidden the real one, and she simply says it's in her possession before changing the subject and pouring him some wine. Monkey doesn't drink much, but encourages Princess Iron Fan to drink some, and as she gets more and more drunk, she starts... coming onto Monkey more and more. Which has got to be an awkward situation, but one that he is able to handle with slightly more grace then his master at least.

Eventually Monkey is able to bring the conversation back around to the fan and asks where she has hidden it. Princess Iron Fan responds by spitting out a tiny fan, no bigger then an almond leaf. When Monkey asks how a fan this small can extinguish the flames, Princess Iron Fan shows him the method to return the fan to its normal large size. Now that he has the fan and information he needs, Monkey takes the fan and puts it into his mouth before revealing his true form to Princess Iron Fan, who is of course pissed about the situation, but Monkey doesn't care to hang around to see her full tantrum.

Once Monkey is a safe distance away, he decides to test the fan, and uses the method the Princess told him about to revert it to it's true size. It works, however, Monkey never found out how to make it shrink again, so he just lugs it over his shoulder to carry it the rest of the way.

Meanwhile the Demon Bull King has finally left the party, only to find that he has been car/beast jacked. He calls everyone together to ask who has stolen his beast, but everyone denies having anything to do with it, but the old Dragon mentions that there was a strange crab earlier. The Demon Bull King connects the dots and figures that Sun Wukong must have followed him here and taken on a form of a crab before stealing his ride. Now knowing the situation, he takes off, hoping to chase Wukong down before he can get the fan. When he arrives at his wife's house, he see's his beast outside, and his wife crying up a storm inside. He asks her where Wukong went, but she just yells at him for letting Wukong steal his beast so that he could deceive her. So the Bull Demon King borrows some of her weapons, before taking off to continue his fight with his ex brother.

Heavenly War Part 3

Woooo this was another long one, the action parts had me dusting my skills a bit but we got it done✨

Both Erlang and Macaque are warriors in their own right and respect each other for it. Erlang’s mercy at the end is what keeps them amicable in the future since Mac was able to see that he didn’t’ want to be doing this in the first place (as well as see the first cracks in his loyalty)

Next part should be (hopefully) the last chapter of the Heavenly War arc,,, I can’t promise a schedule for when it’s posted but I already have most of it drafted👍

Next time we’ll see the return of Wukong

And here's the final part of the first chapter to the Optima Prime comic! Again, massive thanks to ErikaGSkerzz for the beautiful art. It was wonderful to work with her, I truly recommend commissioning her. Links to the first and second parts are here and here. Hope you all enjoy it. 💖

The Dread Wolf Take You (Part 1)

~~Link to the complete 31 page comic here~~

"Imagine that, overlooking the god in your mids!"

May I present, my attempt at illustrating the last four pages of Tevinter Nights. 😁 (Also, the first time I'm posting art on here!)

As the whole thing was quite literally too long to post on tumblr, I uploaded the full version on a customized site made for reading webcomics (via ComicFury). Feel free to check out the link above if you like to read the rest! Also, if you're on mobile, there's a "Scroll View" option for easier navigation. :)

And, obviously, HUGE spoilers for those who haven't read Tevinter Nights!!

On a personal note though, I can't believe I actually finished it... As it had been a *very* long time since I drew (and finished) anything, let alone a 31 page comic and reading Tevinter Nights again finally sparked my motivation (and the courage to post it lol). So I want to thank Patrick Weekes for helping me overcome this massive art block and over two decades of Case Closed mangas for inspiring me how to draw an overly dramatic "exposing the imposter" moment. 😂 I tried my best to be as faithful to the book as possible and it took me forever, so... hope you like it! :D
