Great!!Great brushes and color too!.I suppose that with these no conventional actitudes we can find another ways and new aesthetics.One alleviation for the brain.Excuse my inglish.

Nice! Good to see new work! Are the colors really so bad? Maybe not what you're used to, but you've harmonized them pretty well! And who doesn't love a good monkey king?!

I like this one very much.

The colors have some humf... something missing in the bottom right corner of the composition I think, but great dynamic feeling all around.

Take good care

Monkey King is an allegorical rendition of the journey, mingled with Chinese fables, fairy tales, legends,
sportsbook superstitions, popular beliefs, monster stories, and whatever the author could find in the Taoist, Buddhist, and Chinese popular religions. While average readers are fascinated with the prowess and wisdom of the Monkey King, many reviewers agree that the protagonist embodies what the author tried to convey to his readers: bet nfl a rebellious spirit against the then untouchable feudal rulers. The monkey is indeed rebellious. He was, according to the story, born out of a rock, fertilized by the grace of Heaven and Earth. Being extremely intelligent, he has learned all the magic tricks and gongfu from an immortal Taoist master. sportsbook Now he can transform himself into seventy-two different images such as a tree, a bird, a beast of prey, or an insect that can sneak into an enemy's body to fight him or her inside out. Using clouds as a vehicle, http://www.enterbet.com he can travel 108,000 miles at a single somersault.
