Pokemyth: Xiyou_Wukong

Pokemon Fan-art created by Hilsonity

Software: Procreate, Photoshop

This fan artwork is inspired by the popular game Black Myth: Wukong, blending elements of traditional Chinese mythology with modern pop culture. The central character depicted is Infernape, the Fire-type starter from the fourth generation of Pokémon. In this rendition, Infernape takes on the role of Sun Wukong, the legendary Monkey King from Journey to the West, with its flaming hair and golden accessories evoking the mythic hero’s divine powers and celestial origins. The title "Pokemyth Xiyou" cleverly merges "Pokémon" with "Xi You Ji," the Chinese title for Journey to the West, further emphasizing the connection. The powerful stance, bold colors, and dynamic composition capture the essence of both the legendary tale and the fiery spirit of Infernape.
