Can You Guys Give Me Some Tips On How To Be More Confident In My Art?

“Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten me already, my king?”

This is my version of the six eared macaque, liu’er mihou!!! This is when sun wukong reunite on the journey and..uhh things go wrong but this is what he looks like, might be final design but I’m not sure. He wears jade earrings on all of his left ears because it’s a common belief that wearing earrings on your left ear means you’ve been in danger before and this will prevent it happening again! …..clearly it didn’t work in his case but I want it to have a little bit of foreshadowing in my story where the earrings get ripped off his ear and it kinda says some shits about to go dooown, and ofc it does so. Also they’re made of jade which is also said to ward off evil and bad luck.

And about the eyes! They change with the moons phases, in the drawing they’re crescent. I want it to be that when the fight between him and sun wukong happens his eyes fully turn into a new moon just before he dies, signifying a new beginning, yes in my version he’ll have his eye taken out as well, I just love how everyone describes the scar and how wukong has a permanent reminded about how he fucked up their relationship.

I think that’s all I wanna say about this drawing, I have a whole backstory and stuff for him and wukong but that’s not really relevant lololol, I’m going to post his younger self later too maybe?

Oh wait! He’s very soft spoken with a deep voice, usually very calm and stoic but more playful around wukong but a bitch to others he doesn’t know or like. And I will be posting a certain vixen, a jade faced vixen cough cough who he has a strange relationship with,,,, basically she manipulates him into have a more possessive selfish mindset of the world and of his king. Ahhhh so many headcanons but I don’t want to say them I want to show them!!! Grrr

Another WIP, I was too lazy to draw her hand, soooo…. Let’s pretend she lost just that in the war and not the whole ass arm (and leg)

My Bbg rinrin,,,, I hated this last night cuz I had a little art block but now the art block is completely hitting so I’m fucked. So now that I’m fucked this looks better than anything I’m drawing rn

Making my art into a sticker for myself to cure my depression

Yo…..

im gonna post more out soon i swear... but heres my darling as a certain celestial swine, ignore her being unhappy and forced to wear this hat, im giving her the phone now and she'll confirm she is very happy and definitely isnt being forced to be a perverted pig

xtrtawv

see, shes fine. i did not take her paw and force her to tap on the screen.

im thinking about posting a comic, a small one to settle into posting more

No matter how much I draw him he never looks right it Fr pisses me offffffff GAHHHHHHHHHH

Posting this two second edit I made cuz I thought it was funny, she’s my menace🥰

An edit that I’m probably not gonna finish but I had fun doing, let’s just call this a WIP though lol! I drew them with some of my headcanons but some of them have changed because of the new chapters. I miss my hero already. The hair is so not done and looks so bad LMAO please ignore it

This edit was inspired by @lunejump who makes the most lovely edits! I’ll put their version below, it’s so good

Here’s a uhhh work in progress,,,, what do you think?

Mortals usually just call her yù(jade) she goes by so many names in her different forms she usually just lets the nickname slide

(Let me know if I got anything wrong clothing wise or even if you think the nickname isn’t really culturally appropriate, I just thought it would be a fun nod to her also being the jade faced princess. I obvi want to be as respectful as possible :)) but also this is a WIP so the full clothing look isn’t fully done but if you spot anything kind of off rn… let me know!)
