what the hell is this about?

Several friends have embarked on their own P365 journey but as I have no camera nor an eye for photography I've decided to try to complete "a doodle a day" for an entire year. Most will be in my little Derwent A5 sketch book but some could end up being from the corner of some document or scribbled on a newspaper. As the year progresses I will try my hand at inking them as well?

If some of them don't make sense, don't worry, they're probably not meant to. You may notice there will be certain themes along the way and if you know me you'll know why.

I hope you enjoy.

Okay, here goes, every day til I'm 39.

Day #277 - Abbot Xing Lin Dong


Xing Lin Dong had a different path to Abbot-hood than most Abbots before him, you see, Xing Lin Dong didn't enter the monastery until his late teens, he actually entered the monastery seeking asylum, after 4 years he realised he would never leave again, the monastery offered him that which he had never had in his life, structure and order. Unlike his brother Wan Long Dong the great inventor and scientist, Xing Lin Dong was always on the run from the authorities and always in some sort of trouble.When he'd crossed the local triad boss he knew the only place he'd survive would be the temple. So he fled there.
Wan Long Dong was an amazing pupil, so passionate and committed but most of all naturally gifted. After 2 years he'd already progressed to "Blood Monkey Master" a rank which would normally take a decade to reach. He progressed this way in every discipline and after 8 years was the highest decorated monk, studying was in his genetic make up, his brother was world renowned for his abilities and soon Xin Lin Dong would be too.
In his 12th year in the monastery Xin Lin Dong was appointed Abbot, the head of the monastery after the untimely death of his predecessor.
Xin Lin Dong's bravado would open the temple for outsiders to have the ability to learn his teachings so long as they proved themselves worthy.
His brother Mo-capped his fighting style and used the captures in the OS for his "fighting monkey" combot, a personal training android for use at home. It would become a best seller.
