Description
Remember, kids - never use strength-enhancing laser-firing extra-terrestrial power gauntlets as bottle openers, unless you happen to enjoy finding jagged shards of broken glass floating in your Heineken. In real life, too.

The beer-loving primate pictured here is Chip, star of a smashingly funny series of comics entitled Furious Fist of the Drunken Monkey. His creator, Rich Stahnke, was kind enough to draw Apeman and Monkeyboy many moons ago for a promotional poster , and I thought it was way past time I returned the favour and did a doodling for him.

Working on this piece gave me the chance to experiment with lighting effects in Photoshop, and the whole thing came together better than I'd dared to hope; I'm especially pleased with the gauntlet, which actually does look like it's glowing, and the dazzley flash from his fingertip. I may yet get the hang of this digital colouring malarkey.

Chip's copyright resides with the marvellous Mr Stahnke, whose arty exploits can be followed on that Facebook they have now. Rascally infringey persons will be subject to a furious fist in the face from a surly humanoid chimp with a hangover.
