Description
It's Chimp Ion , this time inked and with digi-colouring! See, I said you'd be seeing more from him later. True, I hadn't originally envisioned it being five years later, but hey, we're here now.This was done as both an exercise in speeding up my Photoshop cel-shading and as a way of working out precisely what his colour scheme should be; I knew he was going to be predominantly green (because he's an alien, and everyone knows that aliens are green, right kids?), but I wasn't sure about his boxing gear or his outcroppings of facial/chest hair. In the event, it quickly became clear that black was the ideal supplementary hue. Chimp is, after all, a mean-spirited bullying thug and an all-round bad bloke, and there's a reason Darth Vader didn't wear pink and white chequered gingham.
For those who find themselves curious, Chimp features in an Apeman and Monkeyboy story of intergalactic gangsterism and pan-dimensional prizefighting, which ultimately sees Apeman forced to fight Mr Ion in a punishing pay-per-view battle. Who will emerge victorious? Who will be conked insensible? And where's my red pen? Several of these questions and probably some other ones will most definitely be answered at some point.

I'm always working on Apeman and Monkeyboy stuff, but the story starring this fellow is some way off at the moment. Be assured, however, that you will get to see Chimp and Apeman duke it out eventually!

I was aiming to give him the look of someone in a more or less permanent state of belligerence who's positively itching to punch an opponent into the middle of next Wednesday. Hopefully it comes across!

He's very proud of those, as it happens; he sees the fact that they haven't been knocked out or even so much as chipped as a badge of honour marking his boxing prowess. Also he brushes and flosses twice a day, as recommended by all good alien dentists.

MatthewSmith In reply to McTobi [2012-05-31 22:19:04 +0000 UTC]
With practice I expect he'd be pretty adept at wrestling; to be honest, I think he'd be happy using any fighting style so long as he could still hit people for a living.

Wait a minute!! There's an Apeman/Monkeyboy story out there and you DIDN'T tell ME, their BIGGEST fan?? WHERE the #@*& is it??

MatthewSmith In reply to Ultra-Gor [2011-12-06 23:30:01 +0000 UTC]
Calm yourself, sir! This particular story hasn't been drawn yet, much less published. It's merely one of several that Larry, Tim and I have in the works, which will be doodled at a later date. Have no fear; whenever an actual, tangible comicky thing is set for release, you'll know about it well in advance.

Intergalactic apes? And I thought aquatic ones were all that I needed to see to have seen it all...!
Well, I would certainly love to see this hulking green meanie fight it off against Apeman... Certainly would be the "Bout of the Universe"!
Monkeyboy will just have to assist Apeman in the blue corner this time...!
Well coloring and shading!

MatthewSmith In reply to CatchShiro [2011-12-06 23:26:11 +0000 UTC]
Ta muchly! And in fact, Monkeyboy has to provide assistance away from ringside to help thwart a dastardly plot set in motion by Chimp's manager, Duke Ook. [link] It's a rip-roaring yarn and no mistake!

Honestly man, your art is so good! The way you make the whole body structure, thin or big, is astounding. You, my friend, are a great inspiration to me ^^

MatthewSmith In reply to TEMPHUiBIS [2011-12-06 23:22:12 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! And I dare say that would make for an interesting match-up, although Rex would probably find it tricky to cope with Chimp's relentless and powerful pummelling. Bolganites (the race Mr Ion belongs to) are naturally a lot stronger than your standard Earth creatures, and even Apeman isn't quite a match for him in terms of sheer brute force. Luckily, AM has some help from a very experienced boxing coach. Watch this space...

Nice work Matt, i really dig it. It has been a while but he's finally coloured, i'd say it's totally greenish like an alien.
