There’s not a lot of cartoon characters or old Chinese cartoons depicting the Monk, so I am revisiting a live action remake of the Journey to the West of the characters. I will base my character design off of this actor Xu Shaohua who portrays the Monk

Most common features of the Monk is that he has long earlobes, small lips and a long face. I   probably will not make his head piece as detailed as what his is wearing, I will probably keep the colors and the little gold details.

I also love the expressions and body language actor Liu Xiao Ling Tong used in his portrayal of the Wukong, out all the actors I’ve seen his has done the best in my opinion of bring Wukong to life.
