“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
