Description
These two probably don't need much of an introduction, so in brief: it's Apeman and Monkeyboy again. Hurrah!Rendered entirely in ink and coloured pencil, this piccy was commissioned by a nifty gent who goes by the name of Soba. He wanted to own an original piece of AM and MB artwork, and how could I refuse? I love drawing these guys.
Soba's Deviant Art abode can be reached via this helpful link , and you can expect to see another piece commissioned by his kindly self in the not-too-distant future. Keep watching this digi-channel, folks!

Hear hear! (Monkeys are still groovy, though, of course. Particularly if they know kung fu, like the one in that documentary about the big fat panda.)

They're still in the works, but hopefully there'll be more Apeman and Monkeyboy stuff appearing in the coming months. Bear with me!

Oh, Matt...
These guys just get more irresistible with every new pic that you make! Waiting for their comic book to come out is "torture"!

Sorry about the prolonged wait. I fear I still can't offer any concrete idea of when these two will be returning to the world of proper printed comics, but as soon as anything exciting happens, I shall be sure to let you know!

I can't stop being amused by your shading skills with pencils! It keeps happening!

If these two became full-time official comic book heroes, I'd love to read that

You're unlikely to ever see them starring in a monthly (or even yearly) comic book, because I just can't draw that fast. But we remain hopeful of seeing their exploits in print again one of these days.

Well that's okay too. I suppose it would be rather difficult. ^ ^;

Awesome! I love your style. It'd be so cool to see them in their own show or comic book some day

Here's hoping! And cheers for the kind words.

Simply amazing how you can make your characters be entirely recognized with no need to reintroduce them with a lengthy monologue! Also, style and color helps out too!

No that this stops me from introducing characters with lengthy monologues anyway, of course. I just can't help myself.

The perfect duo, the two are pretty acrobatic aren't they? ;D

Monkeyboy is certainly a sprightly little chimp, and Apeman is surprisingly agile for an ape his size – he can swing from vines like nobody's business.
