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.

johanvinet (Level 6 SWAT) at 11/1/2012 6:11:23 AM

And you get another one: very beautiful ape sprite! :)

Carnivac (Level 8 Shodan) at 8/2/2012 12:20:17 PM

Thanks. It's nice that it still gets good comments over 7 years since it was submitted. :)

RileyFiery (Level 8 Marshal) at 8/2/2012 11:12:51 AM

It does remind me of the Gorillas in the Clint Eastwood music video. It's pretty awesome.

Seki (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/18/2012 12:46:38 AM

MongrelWarfare (Level 1 Private) at 8/9/2009 4:58:18 PM

Excellent piece, love the stance and proportioning! Very grim feel.

Tpoe (Level 3 Corporate Drone) at 4/10/2009 11:58:31 PM

I was gonna say it looked like the gorilla from the gorillaz but then I read the description.

the_seeker (Level 1 Private) at 3/6/2009 5:00:20 PM

Sinester indeed!

...this would look so cool animated. excellent charecter.

Carnivac (Level 8 Shodan) at 7/2/2007 4:49:14 AM

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) at 7/1/2007 3:06:52 AM

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?

skatebord_J (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/22/2007 2:06:41 PM

this ape is a BEAST!!!!!!!!!!

arrioch (Level 1 Thug) at 6/4/2007 7:17:06 PM

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

pain (Level 9 Nidan) at 5/4/2007 1:07:37 PM

superb ... great char...

Carnivac (Level 8 Shodan) at 4/25/2007 9:14:04 AM

Thanks for notifying me of that. It is more certainly an edit as I can clearly see the exact same bits and pieces still left intact in places.

ooshmaster (Level 5 Soldier) at 4/22/2007 6:10:54 PM

This is awesome. Looks like someone decided to do an edit of this thing on Deviant Art... or maybe they just copied the idea, I can't tell.... http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/52871610/ Someone else seems to have noticed already, because a link to this page is in the comments.

umcelinho (Level 1 Thug) at 3/26/2007 12:09:24 PM

amazing, amazing, amazing!

Iso world (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/4/2007 1:12:56 AM

Carnivac (Level 8 Shodan) at 2/3/2007 3:40:20 AM

I have no idea what Sun Wukong is...

Chaos Tayoko (Level 2 Quiet One) at 1/13/2007 6:38:03 AM

Carnivac (Level 8 Shodan) at 8/25/2006 1:08:15 AM

Funny you should say that... some mobile phone game company thought so too... and seem to have just taken it without asking...

Necky (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/24/2006 3:55:17 PM

This is AMAZING!!! What a great a game sprite this would make! Love it! One for the favs me thinks :)

Carnivac (Level 8 Shodan) at 8/18/2006 5:08:49 PM

'If you did that'

What do you mean by that?

Schnauzer (Level 1 Quiet One) at 8/18/2006 4:37:00 PM

If you did that... congratulations!

Carnivac (Level 8 Shodan) at 8/6/2006 3:34:58 PM

Cripes, this thing still getting comments. And is currently the avatar of 18 users?

Friend of mine printed a recolored version of it on a t-shirt a while back that he wears to the gym sometimes...

2dgamers (Level 1 Jukyu) at 8/6/2006 2:17:46 PM

This is a GREAT cartoon rendition of a gorilla! *set it as my avatar*

MichaS (Level 1 Depressed) at 7/9/2006 2:17:18 AM

lase_s5 (Level 1 Rookie) at 10/16/2005 2:18:25 PM

thats excellent, pure style.

PandaPlanet (Level 2 Stalker) at 10/8/2005 12:17:57 AM

I also thought it looked like a Gorillaz ape, I bet it's the eyes and the funky hair :p
A very good piece I say, great job!

Squirrelsquid (Level 4 Shichikyu) at 8/24/2005 3:12:31 AM

That Ape sure would cream DK in an 1 on 1 fight ;) The color-shades are very well selected, and the overall look and feel add the rest to the 'evil gorilla" look. Would love to see him animated!

truth (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/15/2005 7:25:04 AM

That's great, :-) would make a good video game character

mykel (Level 1 White Belt) at 7/10/2005 10:28:39 PM

Looks great!

Darin La' Bitchion (Level 1 Private) at 6/1/2005 7:57:06 PM

TakeOut (Level 2 Yellow Belt) at 5/31/2005 4:32:05 PM

Reminds me of one of the Donkey Kong characters from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.
I really like the coloring. :3

Mull77 (Level 1 Hired Gun) at 5/27/2005 8:54:47 AM

Great expression and i love the way you gave the impression of hair with just a couple of pixels sticking out.

Blueberry_pie (Level 7 General Manager) at 5/27/2005 4:28:28 AM

Wow, very nice. I like it a lot

sedgemonkey (Level 11 Master Assassin) at 5/26/2005 10:48:05 PM

Damn dude. Another triumph.
