About Me

  • Call me Rui (Roo-ee) / ่Šฎ / ๅฆ‚ๆ„

  • 26-year-old Chinese Malaysian

  • I like Journey to the West, Ne Zha, and Beijing Opera

  • I studied 3D animation and practice martial arts

  • I draw fan art and animation

  • I post WIPs and art processes on Patreon

BYF

  • All my art is SFW.

  • I'm more comfortable following people back on Tumblr.

  • I currently draw a lot of The Long Walk fanart.

  • I'm starting to get into horror films, so there will be fanart with blood (tw).

  • My Journey to the West fanart has no connection to the Lego show. Please understand that it's annoying when people leave comments on my art referencing a different version of the characters.

  • I consider master-disciple relationships to be akin to parent-child relationships. I have a sifu, so I know what it's like.

  • Never ask for my permission to do anything related to JTTW. You can ask for my opinions, but not my permission; do not burden me with your actions.

  • Do not take my knowledge and opinions on martial arts as facts. Every practitioner has different combat philosophies.

DNI

  • Proship.

  • It's okay to leave comments on my art thirsting after fictional characters, calling them "hot" and such. Bonus points if the comments are funny. But if you describe anything NSFW, on my SFW art, think about keeping that shit to yourself.

  • I prefer if you don't infantalize Sun Wukong by calling him your "boy" on my art. He's an 800+ year old demon who calls himself Old Sun and takes care of his monkey grandchildren.
