I will be designing my own version of the Monkey King. I want him to be a fierce immortal warrior. The monkey king will use Mala beads to summon elemental powers which he uses to fight against evil. That being stated, the monkey king will be a light character. Chinese character for sunrise is on his head piece as a symbol of him using the power of the sun to fight against dark/evil. He is a war general so he is covered well with armor and has war scars. Specifically one going across his face. He fights in the war not for himself but because the dragon Kings are forcing him to by controlling him with his own head piece. In Chinese culture dragons are seen as strong/fierce while also being a token of good luck. Together, he and an army of dragons head into war when he would rather be elsewhere enjoying his immortality. The dragons will play as a composition and story element for the background in the final splash image I create.
