Long Nü, Guan Yin's Other Assistant
Right, so we talked about Guan Yin and her assistant, Shancai/Sudhana, but we haven’t talked about her other assistant, Longnü. I had to take some time finding out who she was and what she did, and tada! We have a story about how she came to be with Guan Yin! It goes like this:
Longnü was the youngest daughter of the Dragon King of the EastSea– um, yeah I know, way to state the obvious – and basically, she was really pretty, and her father loved her very much. Anyway, Longnü was real interested in the world of Man, and when she heard that there was a Fish Lantern Festival she was like, “Dad, can I please go?”
And since the Dragon King really loved his daughter and shiz, he was all, “No. The human world is too chaotic for you, fo’ realz.”
Longnü was real upset about this so she stamped her foot and cried, and told herself that even if her daddy didn’t let her go, she would find a way anyway.
So, like a total teenager, she snuck out of the palace and changed into a human, a fisherwoman of some sort. After that, she walked into the city, and boy was she amazed! There were so many kinds of fish there, so much light and firecrackers, and she really loved bein’ in all the hustle of the celebrations.
Then, it began to rain, which really sucked. Longnü got really scared, ‘cause if it rained, she would change back into a dragon. And she totally couldn’t do that, ‘cause she would ruin the celebration. She ran to the sea as quickly as she could so she could change there, and when she nearly reached the beach, a blast of thunder hit her and she like, totally changed into a fish, which sucked even more.
Anyway, at this point in time, two fishermen walked past, and they were all like, “WTF? Why is there a fish here?”
The first one was all, “Eh, there’s somethin’ fishy ‘bout this fish, it must totally be inauspicious and shiz,” but the other dude was all, “Nowai, bro. It’s bigger than whatever we’ve caught and we’re like, so gonna make a lotta money wit’ this, so let’s sell it!”
Which is so what they did.
While the two fishermen were like, carrying Longnü to the market, Guan Yin was in the heavens, watchin’ everythin’ and she told Shancai/Sudhana, “Hey, go to the market and buy the fish.”
Shancai was all, “But we ain’t got no money!”
“Chill. Take the silver coins from the incense burner, k?”
Shancai saw that Guan Yin’s incense burner had some coins, and so that’s what he did.
Meanwhile, at the marketplace, errybody was lookin’ at the fish, and they were like, pretty impressed wit’ it. They also didn’t know what to do wit’ it, though, and they were sittin’ there, talkin’. Finally, one dude had an idea and told the fishermen, “This fish is too big to sell, yo! You should totally cut it up into parts!”
The fishermen thought this was like, the best idea ever, and so, someone got a knife and started to cut the fish. Just when they were about to slice it into many pieces, they saw that the fish was crying!
And that was when Shancai came in and was all, “Stop! I’ll buy the fish!”
Errybody was all, “WUUUT? I thought monks don’t eat fish! Does he like, not want to be a monk anymore?”
But Shancai was all, “No, dudes. I’m like, totally gonna release it.” So he made the fishermen carry it to the sea. Once they released the fish, she swam into the depths.
Shancai paid the fishermen, but once the coins touched the fishermens’ fingers, they changed back into incense! Shancai totally disappeared, too.
When Longnü got back, she saw that her father was waaaay pissed off. He was so pissed off that all his attendants, the turtles and the prawns and the crabs were like, shivering! But she had to go to him and fess up, so she told him errything that happened.
The Dragon King felt real sorry for his daughter, but he didn’t want Guan Yin to rat on the Jade Emperor that this happened ‘cause it would make him look bad (way to care about ‘saving face’ ). So even though he felt sorry fo’ his daughter, he was all, “You have to be punished for disobeying me! I hereby banish you!”
And you thought being grounded was bad.
So Longnü had like, nowhere to go, and she was really sad. She started crying, and since Guan Yin was the ‘Hearer of Cries,’ she totally heard Longnü. So she sent Shancai down to get her.
Shancai finally met up with Longnü and was all, “Hey, wassup?”
“Oh my god, you’re the dude who saved me! Thanks, by the way.”
“No prob. Anyway, Guan Yin totally invited us to chill wit’ her, so let’s go.”
Which is what they did.
Longnü bowed to Guan Yin and stuff, and Guan Yin totally let Shancai and Longnü live in a cave, which later came to be called as Shancai-Longnü cave. And that’s pretty much how Longnü came to serve Guan Yin.
AAAAAAAAA---!!!!

I dont have anything proper to post so
Have these doodles :)
I’ve been looking through your art tutorials and my gosh they are so amazing because they really taught me a lot !!! I appreciate them and your artwork !! Anyways, I have a question: How do you draw hair? How can you make it not so stiff; like the wind is blowing or youre putting it into a ponytail?
Art tip: Make the thing you least enjoy drawing the most interesting and fun part to create, everything gets easier from there
I love, love, love drawing hair. Specifically extremely curly hair. I myself don’t have curly hair, but I’ve always loved how it looks. Even when I draw characters with assumed straight hair (Red Son, MK, Link, Mei, all those guys) I make their hair very wavy, as if water is constantly moving through it. Now, hold onto your hats, but my style of drawing hair comes from many, many, many different sources. Down below are just the most accurate ones I could find in my photos alone through all my references.
Do not, I repeat, do NOT DRAW YOUR STYLE FROM A SINGLE SOURCE. Your art will become as stagnant as a puddle of water in a forest. You will get bored and burnt out. With me, scrolling through all my favorite art, making references with my own body, taking photos and researching what I need to add into my work to bring more life to it, keeps my work smooth and my artistic mind happy and stimulated. This is where the drawing part actually begins.
Reminder that hair doesn't come out of a single point from your head. Hair grows out of your WHOLE HEAD, not just the, uuhhh, whatever the fuck that little spiral thing in your hair is called. I make my hair layered and choppy to show as much density and weight as possible
what if she had the bite force of a hyena... my little femur breaker

Training with Nephew Pspsppspspspsppspssp-
Cosmic Imitation
Bending over, he cried, "Grow!" and at once grew to be ten thousand feet tall, with a head like the Tai Mountain and a chest like a rugged peak, eyes like lightning and a mouth like a blood bowl, and teeth like swords and halberds. The rod in his hands was of such a size that its top reached the thirty-third Heaven and its bottom the eighteenth layer of Hell.
for the DTIYS by @lavaflowe!! it was such an awesome concept, I just had to get a bit daring with the perspective :D had to get some photobashing going close to the end though but it worked out well!
rambles about the artistic choices under read more <3
I exchanged the skullcap bowl for a gourd, since Wukong is often represented in religious statues as holding one or an immortal peach. The headdress was inspired by Beijing opera, but the mirror was borrowed from Lion Dance costumes. The mirror on their heads is meant to repel bad energies. The tiger pelt kilt is a classic of course, and a symbol of a protective deity. The long draping tail and staff supporting the heaven was my way of giving an awing sense of scale and of his reach. The symbols in the sky is the Chinese star map. And it's hard to tell, but the mountains in the distance are the other three Continents in the JTTW cosmology.
Their whole dynamic
'Oh no, the great Sun Wukong has been felled by these mighty sons and daughter of Huaguoshan! O' merciful celestial, save me!'
He's such a big ham about the babies.
