Title: Making my own (non-2000AD) Sun WuKong!
Post by: shaolin_monkey on 28 August, 2015, 02:28:06 PM
At least one of you seemed amenable to me posting a non-2000AD creation, so here he is.

I'm still working on him - had a nasty accident after baking him which  left him in pieces on my kitchen floor, but after some repair work he's ready to paint.

Some of you may remember the tattoo I have of the Monkey King on my back. He's been with me ever since I saw the Japanese TV series as a child.  I've also read a couple of the translations of Journey to the West, and seen quite a few films. I have countless bits of Monkey King tat scattered about the house.

Anyway, I wanted to do a homage to the source - the TV series.  However, I wanted to add my own flavour.  As such, while he's wearing the TV outfit, the rest I made up as I went along.

Anyway, here he is so far:

Wow! Great work!

My wife is from China and we both love monkey King! Especially The 1986 chinese tv show.

Again, awesome!  :D

Cheers guys. While I'm not 100% happy with it (weird looking arms, head a bit big) I'm starting to get the hang of the Sculpey, plus I'm pleased with the even paint job in his clothes. I had fun figuring out the best stand to make the cloud look like it was in mid-air too. Learning all the time!

I'm taking a brief break from modelling to catch up on other stuff now (it's very time consuming) but this'll give me time to consider my next project.
