Description Happy Chinese New Year and happy Year of the Monkey!
This is an image of the legendary Sun Wukong from the classical chinese novel Journey to the West. It was done some years ago for Legendary Visions Artbook, sadly it wast included because it was lost until now, I hope you like it!

LETS WIKIATTACK!!

Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, is a main character in the Chinese classical novel Journey to the West: He is a monkey born from a stone who acquires supernatural powers through Taoist practices. After rebelling against heaven and being imprisoned under a mountain by the Buddha, he later accompanies the monk Xuanzang on a journey to retrieve Buddhist sutras from India.Sun Wukong possesses an immense amount of strength; he is able to lift his 13,500 jīn (7,960 kilograms/17,550 lb) staff with ease. He is also extremely fast, able to travel 108,000 li (54,000 kilometres / 34,000 mi) in one somersault. Sun knows 72 transformations, which allow him to transform into various animals and objects; however, he is troubled in transforming into other forms, due to the accompanying incomplete transformation of his tail. Sun Wukong is a skilled fighter, capable of holding his own against the best warriors of heaven. Also, each of his hairs possess magical properties, capable of being transformed into clones of the Monkey King himself, and/or into various weapons, animals, and other objects. He also knows spells that can command wind, part water, conjure protective circles against demons, and freeze humans, demons, and gods alike. One of the most enduring Chinese literary characters, Sun Wukong has a varied background and colorful cultural history. Sun Wukong is considered by some scholars to be influenced by both the Hindu deity Hanuman from the Ramayana and elements of Chinese folklore.

Nice work! I've written an article that provides quotes from the JTTW novel describing Sun Wukong's appearance. See how yours stacks up.

I think that somersault deserves further explanation. 34000 miles is significantly more than the circumference of the Earth. In other words, if you are facing Sun Wukong, he could jump backwards all the way around the world and kick you in the back of the head. I knew he was OP as ****, but I didn't really realize how OP as **** he really was until I looked up the info for that.

Por si fuera poco, es como el Quijote en España, por su popularidad. Gracias a este personaje han llegado grandes inspiraciones como Dragon Ball y en Naruto; el Bijuu de 4 Colas se proclama "El hermoso rey de las cuevas Suiren, el Rey Sabio de los Monos, Son Goku" siendo la forma de su Sello (encadenado entre dos montañas) una referencia a las montañas donde Sun Wukong fue sellado por Buda. De la misma manera, Enma Enkōō, la invocación del Tercer Hokage, es llamado "Rey Mono" y posee la capacidad de transformarse en una Baston (arma predilecta de Sun Wukong) además de poseer la vestimenta legendaria del personaje hecha con piel de tigre.

También aparece en los juegos online "League of Legends" y "SMITE", y en Sakura Wars (sakura teisen) se representa la obra Viaje al oeste, tanto en el manga como en el anime.

Dado también, la historia del Viaje al Oeste es una obra china acerca del monje Xuanzang donde el protagonista hace amistad con tres inmortales, un mono llamado Sun Wukong , un duendecillo de agua llamado Sha Seng y un cerdo llamado Zho wuneng , todos juntos viajan a la India para recuperar los sutras sagrados.

He is the inspiration for Goku. He is therefore the most badass fictional character in Chinese history.
