I did this piece this morning for a person on the GMC who asked for a 'sinister ape. Was good practice for me I think. And I've never had a reason to draw an ape before. A friend just told me it looks a bit like the apes in the music video for 'Clint Eastwood' by Gorillaz. Figured I'd post it here since I ain't had much to contribute to this forum lately. It's pretty much finished and while there are a couple of slight niggles I find, I'm done with it.

I love this. colours are nice and the facial expression is gold. reminds me of pre-Gorillaz evolution.

I have no idea. Maybe their offices got torched...

Hmm, I hadn't noticed the high avatar usage for a long time til you pointed it out. Seems to be 24 at time of typing this.

rabidbaboy (Level 4 Shichikyu) @ 7/1/2007 03:07

So this is the avatar everyone and their little sister has been using.

It's cool.

What happened to the mobile company that "borrowed" it?

arrioch (Level 1 Thug) @ 6/4/2007 19:17

Really awesome work, and i love the fact that there is no complex shading, so this way it looks very cartoonish..
