Sun Wu Kong Painting by andytantowibelzark on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"sun wu Kong"
a great beast that was born from a rock... with a pure heart, yet powerful wrath...having Immense power and lots of god friends and demon friends, he grow cocky...
born with a wicked nature and bad temper, he wreak havoc at he heavens ,earth and hell...
and challenged the Buddha,
due to his defeat, he was sealed under a mountain, until one day, a monk free him by chanting a six-syllable mantra, "Om Mani Padme Hum" and took him as his disciple to go to India, Even though he is often misbehave, He is the most loyal and the true hero of the four people in the Saga Journey of the West...
after great ordeals, finally, he achieved enlightment...

he symbolized loyalty, Change, Hope, Strength, Determination and Power
after great ordeals, finally, he achieved enlightment...

I potrayed the Great Monkey King as a calm yet Powerful Deity standing on a rock with eyes closed, sign of calmness..
after reached Enlightment, he was made a Buddha, so, despite of his heavy and crowded armor, he has no problem finding peace in his posture...
balanced himself with ease, regardless of the Wave crashing onto the rock he was standing...
