I was wondering if you have any knowledge on both the Bull Demon King's steed, The Water Repelling Golden Crystal Beast, and his brother the Immortal Ruyi. I read that they both exist in JTTW but I can't find much information about them at all beyond that and I was curious to know more if you knew anything about them?

The Bull Demon King's steed, the "Water-Repelling, Golden-Eyed Beast" (Bishui jinjing shou, 辟水金睛獸; a.k.a. Jinjing shou, 金睛獸, "Golden-Eyed Beast"), appears in chapters 60 and is referenced in chapters 61 and 63. It is never described, and I don't believe that it appears in any other chapters. The only things we know are: 1) It can freely travel through water; 2) It will let anyone ride it. For instance, Sun Wukong hops on it without first magically disguising himself; and 3) It has a carved saddle.

The picture below is just an artist's interpretation. It looks like a mix between a dragon and a lion.

As for the Bull Demon King's brother, the "True Immortal Compliant" (Ruyi zhenxian, 如意真仙), I write about his arc here:

I have created a mythical animal, the Trufflelion! (still trying to find a better name, so suggestions are appreciated!)

(NOT MY ART, credit goes to crictagrus from Therian Guide!)

(also not my art, credit goes to House of Psychos, also from Therian Guide!)

The Trufflelion is an omnivorous marsupial that scavenges for food. Their most favorite foods are corn, strawberries, cow, and pig. Both male and females have pouches since both parents raise their joey(s). They are small, about the size of a mouse, and are great diggers/swimmers/climbers. They use their tufts and big ears to hear predators close by. They have an excellent sense of smell, sight, and hearing. They’re solitary animals, but if they come across one another, they may scavenge for food together and sometimes go their separate ways once they find food. They also come together to mate.

They are nocturnal and are extremely adaptable. They may sleep in burrows (created by themselves or using the burrows of other animals), caves, tree cavities, and even houses. They are most active during the summer, in which they store food in order to prepare themselves for the winter. Activity also increases when it rains.

They’re mostly found in forests, grasslands, and sometimes urban and suburban areas as well. They are vocal creatures, sometimes making a meow-howl when searching for mates, whistles when they search for their joeys if they’re lost, hissing to show affection, barking and growling to scare away oncoming predators, etc. They’re territorial, marking with their scent from their paws, scratching bark, rubbing their faces onto surfaces, and/or urination.

They may defend themselves by biting, jumping towards the enemy, scratching with their sharp claws, barking and growling (as mentioned before), etc. When a Trufflelion is angry, feel threatened/stressed, or senses danger, they may wag their tails in a fast pace, snort and huff, or whine.

I’ll probably post more facts about the Trufflelion later.

Griffins are some of my favorite familiars to sculpt! I like the way I’ve chosen to simplify their features, but the painted details make it so they still look elegant. The swirling spiral patterns are also some of my favorites to find on the old gravestones I use for reference.

Here are some examples of some old New England gravestones with spiral patterns.

thought I should post the time lapse of this jackalope

so many people were excited about all my jackalopes and wolpertingers so literally all my designs this week were one or the other

little preview of the past week:

I usually base my jackawolps off hares because they just look wilder and somewhat deranged, but there are a couple rabbits in there this time

Deidara: You know what I’d like to be?

Sasori: Less annoying?

Deidara: No! A dragon.

Sasori: Why a dragon?

Deidara: Think of it, Danna; being really powerful and strong, hm. Having huge wings and the power to fly. Not to mention being able to breathe fire!

Sasori: I suppose those are all worthwhile things.

Deidara: Would … would you still love me, if I was a dragon?

Sasori: A full-blown dragon, meaning not one that shifts between human and dragon, but a dragon full time?

Deidara: Yeah, hm. Would you still love me?

Sasori, teasing: I would have to get used to riding on top of you for a change, but yes, I’d still love you, my fiery brat.

Deidara: Oh? You know … there’s nothing preventing you from “taking a ride” on human-me now, Danna ~

Sasori: You know what? Maybe you’re —

Hidan, picking up his plate and leaving the table: I hate you two so fucking much.
