#tripitaka journey to the west

[the-best-url-on-this-site]

this may be the worst thing i've ever made. this should give you a general vibe of the story.

Percy and Annabeth here were drawn by burdge- i don't know who orion was drawn by, nor Adam, which is why this post is unrebloggable.

this isn't the final cover (final cover won't have fanart) and it might not even be the final title, but-

Here's the Macbeth Murder Squad from @tigersycamore6210 and i's in progress Macbeth fic- you may have heard of it from the post going around asking for characters who could kill macbeth.

This “Journey to the West” has taken A LOT longer than expected. After fighting through demon after demon, crossing mountains, braving a very, very, very large lake, Monkey, Tripitaka, Pigsy, Sandy, and the Horse are starting to get anxious. Shouldn’t they be there by now? That lake was pretty big…

It’s only after realizing they no longer recognize the language written and spoken that they realize with horror- that wasn’t a lake, that was an ocean, and they went TOO FAR WEST.

The argument of what to do next, along with the finger pointing, breaks out at the base of Mount Dunsinane in *checks notes* Southern Colorado, wherever that is! But they don’t make much headway as to what to do, because Tripitaka gets kidnapped by a local god and taken to the peak, right as a bright symbol explodes into the sky above where he’s being hidden. A symbol exactly like the one that appeared in monkey’s fur a few mountains ago…

After giving (yes, giving! Apparently she didn’t really want him) Tripitaka back, the goddess explains the quest to Monkey and the others on the peak- some humans, a human(??), several living baked goods, a puppet, a toy, and a living machine- that they must Journey to the East and put an end to the reign of Macbeth, the tyrannical emperor of the world… apparently they’d been journeying so long someone had managed to take over the world…

Oh, and Sandy, Pigsy, and the Horse can’t come with. 

Despite Tripitaka’s protests that they’re going the WRONG WAY, the journey sets off. Hey, maybe this one won’t take as long

The height of the ‘Journey to the West’

And Wukong’s staff is 2 meters.

Mama a monkey behind you

monkey love language

i absolutely adore just how aggressively physical monkeys can be with affection. they just fully press their heads into each other, lots of tugging and pulling, almost throwing themselves at each other when they want attention. i bet it takes Wukong some adjustment so he doesn't use his full force when he gets grabbed by the need to just squeeze someone lmao, but just as much as the others need time to get used to a monkey perched on them every now and then. plus grooming is often a bargaining chip and a way to build relationships and a show of affection and trust. so, a bit of monkey love for each of the group! :D

aaaand Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing face reveal!! working on a fullbody lineup to show off their heights as well, so consider this a teaser ;3

Bajie is half wild boar, half babirusa. I love the four-tusk situation babirusa have going on, but his bristled mane is too iconic to handwave away. plus, pigs that go feral grow tusks and thicker fur, so i wanted to capture some of that with the half-and-half design.

as for Wujing, he's a complicated one to explain, but for his face i really wanted his beard to stand out as well as the six skulls necklace. i'm going for a "intermittent waters" concept with him, since he's originally connected to a desert before being made into a river demon, so i'm drawing on mudskippers for his ear fins and face spots.

It's been a while since I made some JTTW content, I missed my favorite Murderous Monkey and his Not-so-Zen Master

Behold, the middle-aged Chinese protagonist whose gender occasionally changes depending on portrayal who we can all relate to and project on

OKAY LET'S TRY THAT AGAIN

Something Silly Characters ranked by how much fun they're having (during US stretch of quest):

(poll hidden below also!)

Monkey. They are going so much faster than he is used to on his journey to the west AND he doesn't have to completely carry the group because there are other powerhouses. Also most of the threats they encounter once out of the mountains aren't going for Tripitaka

Pinocchio. Doesn't quite grasp the gravity of the situation + ROAD TRIP

Lightning McQueen. He is literally just drivin and vibin. He's a car but people can't ride in him. he's be higher on the list if it wasn't for... i shant say...

Orion Fowl. Hype to kill Macbeth, Hype to be on a road trip, Hype to see and (attempt to) fight tons on interesting monsters! new experiences! Ghosts! Ghouls! Dean let him drop the match on a grave one time! The reason he's not higher on the list is that Artemis's paranoia is leaking through + the hotels, when available, are bad + he got really bored in between the bunker and Indianapolis + he does miss his friends at home. He did make friends with Tink though so that's cool

Adam. 14 entire sentient beings, several of which are human, are treating him like a person and calling him by a name. however he is approx 8 feet tall so the cars are very cramped for him.

Tinkerbell. Very worried about Peter, but is moving faster than she could on her own + not affected by cramped space in the car (very small) + everyone is nice to her.

Dean Winchester. It's cool to be on a road trip with someone other than Sam or Cas but the running into a bunch of monsters he's never seen before and that cannot be killed with his weapons is stressing him out. Also he can't even fully see some of them- being a vessel unlocks some ability to see though the Mist but not all of it. Also he's having issues with Adam being there And he doesn't like that the threats he cannot defeat must be dealt with by children (15-17) that he cannot protect AND Tripitaka and Jiminy won't stop bitching about his cards and IDs and the cars he stole to accommodate everyone AND they throw a conniption fit every time he burns a body. This sounds like a lot of bad things but honestly he's having a pretty good time.

Annabeth+Percy. They're listed together because Percy is a plus one who cannot defeat Macbeth. They did NOT want to go on this quest (they were in southern Colorado scouting colleges to avoid Camp Jupiter to avoid quests). That being said it's nice that they're together + some of the monsters they encounter aren't even after them and in fact don't know they exist. They do however now have to deal with the fact that EVEN MORE monsters exist. It's also nice to be on a quest with access to Consistent Transport, Shelter, and Food. Also there are other people in the group who Can't Go On Planes so Percy doesn't have to feel like this would go faster if only he wasn't there.

Doofenshmirtz. He needs to deal with the fact that MONSTERS ARE REAL and so are DEMONS- he's having his scoobynatural moment. He's also dealing with the fact that Vanessa is interning for Macbeth and he feels she is in danger. He's not a big fan of the fact that these teenagers the same age as his daughter have apparently been fighting monsters since grade school though ("Fighting monsters? You're like sixteen, where are your parents?") He's not having a completely bad time though and there are definitely people having worse times so he goes here.

Woody. Woody literally could go on a plane. in fact he WAS on a plane but he got home aloned and it was the wrong plane. he just wants to go to the airport but instead he is stuck on a roadtrip with humans he has to talk to, one of which is a literal serial killer. Also Andy is interning for macbeth too. Spooky

the Gingerbread man. He is frightened and believes that these people may eat him. They haven't shown any interest so far but who knows... he also fears his upcoming confrontation was Carl Grimes, who defeated him before. He is however glad that he's not the only tiny person on this trip- Tink, Woody, and This Fucking Guy are also small

This Fucking Guy

Tripitaka and Jiminy Cricket. Both plus ones, but they are grouped together down here because the people they are plus one-ing are having a WILDLY different time than they are. both have strong moral compasses and are surrounded by people who think crime is justifiable and one person who self-identifies as "Evil". Fact: Tripitaka is the only human person on this trip without a criminal record. Another fact: they are not happy about the stealing and grave desecrations. Tripitaka is SUPER not thrilled that they are currently on a quest that will end in killing someone. Mainly he is just here because going along with this is MUCH faster than attempting to make it back to China on horseback considering they are currently in Kansas, United States. Jiminy is also not happy because Pinocchio is being Corrupted by the aforementioned people. Just wait until they find out that Dean is a serial killer.

Uh I don't know where to put Shadow the hedgehog yet. he is definitely having a better time than Tripitaka and Jiminy. uh you know what. here!

You cannot move Tripitaka and Jiminy they are miserable. They are friends at the bottom of the list. if you want you can put your reasoning or a specific number for him in the notes.

Facing a former friend.

A redraw of a scene from my early comics!!

Liu'er wants Wukong to be freed from his torment of his "master" and so called friends, and is willing to kill them in order for them to complete the mission together and go back home.

Enjoy!
