Tsingtao Beer | Year of the Monkey

Its not to often I get something as fun to do as this Illustration job.   A fun painted Monkey King? I was so ready. The timeline was a little squished because of some scheduling issues, but it all got done on time.  In the end they went in a whole different direction, just dropping a photo in, but I was still excited with how it came out.

the first set of sketches subbmitted , to try and get the pose.  Number 1 was chosen. 
A quick pencil to get the finer details worked out.
Final.
