The Monkey King, using a combination of Prismacolor on Bristol and a photoshop wash coloring. The Monkey King has always been one of my favorite stories in the past. Monkey King was much like Lord of the Rings in China.

Was inspired to draw this after watching The Monkey King cartoon short for the opening of the Olympics in Beijing.

Hurray for Chinese!!!
You know, a number of things in 2008 had to do with the Chinese.
-Beijing Olympics
-The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

...I'm out of ideas.

Anyone?

This...awesome. It's kinda like the digital art I did to celebrate "Alakazam the Great" in *Raph1966 's gallery. Same story but Hollywood took ALOT of poetic license. I note that the circlet in many of the Monkey King arts is the same....as it is in Space Kateer's Jesse Dart. Funny...
Prismacolor? My brand. :nod: I've never worked with Bristol. Is it good? And how does it scan? (I'm having problems scanning pencil art.)

Looks brilliant, I definitely need to try some color adjustment in PS whenever I do traditional. Would definitely offset the whole "scanner killed my picture" quality it usually has.

WOW! the finer features on the Monkey king's face and the expression in his eyes really accent the majestic look to this piece! I have always loved your work and you rarely do primates.! I think its yet another wonderful piece by a wonderful person!
