Notes:
This work was created for the CGChallenge, 'Steampunk Legends & Myths'. It took me roughly a month and half to complete. I wanted to create an image where two legendary characters from two different cultures face each other - the monkey king from the famous Chinese legend, and King Kong from the west. I wanted to create as much contrast as possible, such as size, weight, colour, light, as well as culture difference. These two characters are both kings in their world. Both mighty, but in different ways. One is massive, heavy, brutal, and powerful; the other is small, light, quick, and intelligent. I have no intention to foresee the result of the fight, I only wish the viewers to enjoy the tension between these two who stand on the edge of a battle.

As well as Donglu Yu, who gave me huge support every day during the challenge and never failed to believe in me. You can visit their websites at: Joel -
