I'd say the composition is well balanced and flooded with personality! The pose itself is very well drawn, fluid and believable, you have excellent figure drawing. I really respect the fact that you didn't create a typical Sun Wukong clone
Great job and I can't wait to see you attempt the whole Chinese zodiac

hoho holy crap a real critique, I GET SO FEW OF THESE I will cherish yours
Anyhow, thank you for your feedback! Composition is something I often either neglect or struggle with when I do consider it, so I'm glad to hear my attempt at something that wasn't like...smack in the middle of the page was successful in some way or another. XD

I think alot of people focus on that, people are afraid to venture from the center of the page, I don't know why. I suppose because the center offers plenty of room to let loose before you fall of the edge of the paper, y'know? I'm no exception by no means bud
Most folks are content to jus' put "nice job" n' junk (it's hard not to sometimes when you have around 50 pieces in your DevWatch box) so I know how nice it is to get a real critique.
I'm glad you like m'critique so I guess it won't be a problem if I stick ya on my friend list and critique you some more from now on

It is.
Though drunken straight sword is as entertaining to watch.
My wushu school has a monkey staff video here: [link] Just go click on media and you'll find it.
The tiger form is there too. It's so hard on my knees. D:
