Lost Tribe of the Golden Lion Monkeys


Although most primates are somewhat curious about their environments, these little guys are numbered at about 1500, 500 of which are in captivity.  So whatever their evolutionary plan was, it didn't work out too well for them.  Are they the most timid, harmless animal as the challenge called for, hmm,  I dunno.  They're cute, little and bright orange.  So I went for Evil Which Doctor.  Not finished by any means, just sorta sketching out loud.  This challenge was actually kind of hard because every time I came across a harmless animal, I couldn't see fitting them into an evil character.  For example, I almost went for Tarsier. But with their giant globe eyes, they already seem alien and starwarsish. I wouldn't have to do anything to them.

ohyeah definitely! just needed to draw out the animal to make sure it was something I liked. I'm thinking of putting more trinket jewelry and more typical witch doctor-y costumes
