The Chinese Dragon With The Funny Name!

We were a little soft on submissions last week for the Jabberwocky so I’m going lowest common denominator this week, with the king of the Chinese Dragons, the Long Wang, or if you’d like, the Lung Wang, (but that’s not nearly as funny).

I’m going to steal the description straight from my “Giant Monsters & Dragons” book, cause from what I can tell from the interweb, it’s kind of wrong but it gives us a helluva lot more options to draw, than just a serpent holding a pearl. So quoted directly:
“The Lung Wang is the Dragon King, who is also known as the Fire Dragon. Lung Wang may be represented as a oriental dragon, but at other times it may be represented as a human body with the head of a dragon and horns resembling those of a stag. Other depictions show him with a fish’s body with teh legs of a tiger and a dragon’s head. He is controller of the water, seas, the lakes and other inland waterways where he is responsible for storms and waterspouts…”

judgement Is Complete

our judgeOur Judge this week was Mr James Ewert! Mr Ewert came in as an intern at PB towards the end and impressed us all with eagerness, actual writing talent and a healthy dose of those magical self destructive tendencies that a grizzled veteran like myself can only watch, remember and laugh! here’s what he wrote for his bio so you get my point:
Some people call me the space cowboy. Some call me the gangster of love. Some people call me Maurice. Because I speak of the pompetous of love. People talk about me baby. Say I’m doin’ you wrong, doin’ you wrong. But don’t you worry baby don’t worry. Cause’ I’m right here at home. Cause’ I’m a picker. I’m a grinner. I’m a lover. And I’m a sinner. Playin’ my music in the sun. I’m a joker. I’m a smoker. I’m a mid-night toker. I get my lovin’ on the run.

Anyways he’s a great kid with some honest to goodness writing chops check him out at BeingEwert.com and I’d like to personally thank him for not putting #5 in the top slot ; )

Came with Caption:
Long Wang: “You looked!”
You: “Awe dude, not again Long Wang.”
Long Wang: “Well, you shouldn’t look at my wang.”
You: “Fine, two in the arm, get it over with.”
 
I kinda love it! Though I’m still trying figure out if that’s a pearl or an enormous pulled from behind ball?

Judge’s Commentary

Long Wang’s are notorious tricksters and this vivid take on the traditional interpretation of ballsiest Chinese Dragon clicks on all cylinders. The deer antlers, paunch, itty bitty titties, and gremlin-esque expression take the cake this week. Enjoy your mug.

Ha! the mighty text ween, so my problem here is that all you had to do was reverse the flow of the text and it could have also been “Chinese”… Oh well… knowing how much it will kill me to have this be the homepage hero for a week, it’s almost a guaranteed winner…

Judge’s Commentary

I wanted to make this the homepage for a week oh so bad. I am a copy man, and I love text more than imagery, but in the end I had to concede that while I may love text, I love craftsman ship more.

Sweet a straight up case of humorous mistaken identity! Huge points for his old timey bare knuckle fisted stance, high waisted briefs, good complete captioning and oddly looking a lot like my dog, Gir, if he had giant merman ears!

Judge’s Commentary

This is definitely a Long Wang I don’t want to fuck with. If all the dudes in Gwar were to bang Greta (the lady gremlin from Gremlins 2) this Long Wang would be the result.

Ha! Not like I’m surprised but didn’t take long to see where this week’s going! And while I don’t know the name of said manuever, I like to think he is doing one of those windmill arm, tap dance style, backwards exits from frame… And quite possibly the first time I’ve ever seen stink lines from a nose, though its possible that’s smoke.

I’m going to pretend to write this one from the future where surprisingly the never ending cloaca has surpassed even damask as the most popular wallpaper pattern ever! I swear the dragon pubes make it 1000 times worse/better, and his arm posturing does kind of an amazing job of bringing it all together (if you know what I’m saying)

Judge’s Honorable Mention

Long Wang Centipede. Can we all just take a sec to marinate on that for a little bit. Whomever you are, thank you.

You know I didn’t even consider that the buck tooth could be considered “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” racist if one considered this a Chinese dragon and wanted to read it that way… not intentional…I just like spare teef! Just be glad the veiny texturing didnt make it to the inking stage cause man was it a lil too graphic!

See at first I was worried something less than favorable was happening here, but if you really look, it’s pretty obvious he’s harvesting geoduck. As everyone knows, that’s a grueling job, so you can’t fault him for letting his mind wander to more fanciful things.

Another one of those “could be a 1980s prog album cover” entries, And sidetracked here but is it just “Heavy Metal” that makes me think of pteradactlys and prog or was there actually a legit source of that thought? I’m a little bit thinking his tightly curved shape is meant to hint at some male genitalia but I think its a 1000 times funnier if he’s just been shot in the gut with the eye of Sauron!

As everyone knows by far the best way to start a conversation with a girl is “Hey Babe…” so he’s off to a great start, good authentic Chinese beverage and those wonky eyes just scream ancient knowledge dont they! And one would assume while getting dressed, she didn’t know she would be documented in perpetuity in a weekly mythical beast drawing contest… her sleeveless brown frock is kinda cracking me up!

Such an elegant mustache! And he kind of looks like he’s puking! Bets on every wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man produced in the future being based on this guy? I mean he’s attention grabbing, and he’s obviously got good movement? Also I’m starting to wonder what the Seanist symbolism is with the wonky eye? Yin and Yang? Confidence and fear? Street smarts and book learnin? I could go on but…

You know, I’m kinda enamored with this technique, harkens to old poorly cross stitched grandparent pillows or blankets all while being kinda glossy and made from mystery perspective future cubes. My favorites are absolutely all the lil ones who are a tinge squished or pokey outtie in their space, all while part of a very regal yet soft spoken stance.

So at first I thought it was just sort of giving me a “hmmph” look, but the more i look into those eyes, the more i can feel it’s disappointment… but what have I done? ha… Anyways the safety tipped antlers are pretty great and his flattened leechlike body shape is making me very happy!

Oh hell! You ever get that feeling you are suddenly in way over your head? The left right contrast between pure insanity and otherworldy eyebrow laden warm love is uncanny and my brain absolutely refuses to register any concept of scale! I mean… real gutter installation instructions? Installation manual Lorem ipsum for a sub pump? and what could it possibly have to do with ants! AAAAaaaack!
