I will be doing tests for some of the visual effects that will be used in our shots, like steam. And I will begin modelling the cudgel and buddha palm when i get the design from yong yi.

Just a link to the story of Journey to the West. Hope it helps.. And thanks to ronald for the avatar ;D

Hello All! Alrighty I have had problems with my blogger account so I haven't posted anything to date but the problems have been fixed now.

Well anyway, I have been doing some research on the people doing monkey king in the CgTalk forums and I have come a few of them. It seems that monkey king is really quite the famous mythical character in chinese Myths and Legends.

The first link I have is to the thread I saw CC looking at in BlackMagic. The contestant adopts a more cartoony approach to it. He doesn not make the characters into steam punks but instead gives it steam punk accessories and technology. The link is http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=277&t=697303&highlight=monkey.

The second link I have is to one by Lim Hang Kwong. So far in his concept his characters are very mechanical and robotic. The link is http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=278&t=695527&highlight=monkey+king.

The third link I have is to an entry by Alessio Cagnano. He is also doing monkey king but instead of chinese elements to it he gives it a victorian style. The characters are more cyborg like. The link is http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=278&t=695773&highlight=sun+wukong.

The fourth link I have is to an entry by wayne maynard who has not posted any images or material in his thread. He has only mentioned that his concept will be Sun Wukong or monkey king. The link is http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=278&t=701359&highlight=sun+wukong
