Good Monday Morning Jungle,

time for another monkey in the deep jungle forest. This time it is a bust that I recieved as a gift a while back from my friends, the Cursed Monkeys from Spain. I am not sure if you can get this online anyhow. Might have to check back with Cursed Monkeys.

I took this model with my to my recent trip to the NOVA Open to have additional surface to explain something. I did not work much on it, but had the option to explain little things on it. It came home with me in a very early WIP state. While I was sitting down and wanted to finish it I checked back with some references of chimpanzees and found out that their face is not truely smooth. They got a lot of wrinkles and skin variations going on, so I tried to paint these freehand on this small bust. That was fun.

Hope you like him?
