Wukong, Journey to the West

This is Wukong, from Journey to The West.
The attire is similar to that of old paintings in chinese books. Akira Toriyama made some drawings of Gohan with these garments too.
I will upload the timelapse on Tiktok tomorrow.
I hope you like it :D

these are some simple lighting tests i made to decide the final direction.
I ended up choosing 1 and 2

made a simple 3d posed guy to double check lighting for the final illustration
