Perhaps a bit early, but the subject piqued my interest and I couldn't resist drawing it. I also wanted to explain some of the lore that influenced my designs.

My entry for the spring festival avi item contest is based on the Chinese legend of Wukong/Sun Wukong, the Monkey King. Chinese New Year is also called the Spring Festival.



Here's the "wings" item without the staff and back items(tail) so you can see it better. I drew some ribbons for flair and mischievous cloud monkeys, as Wukong was said to be able to make clones of himself and travel on clouds.



I also drew some alternate held items. Wukong is holding a peach blossom branch, and the animals are from the Chinese zodiac.

Here we have "Minnie" (ox)


"Sunny" (dog)


"Peaches" (pig)


and "Cream!" (rat)


Thank you for reading this far! I use FireAlpaca, in case you wanted to know which program I use. :)

looks really cool and love the idea for it!
