Description
A birthday present I made three months ago for my former boss, a primatologist.

This one was a challenge for me because isn't usual to me drawing mammals (I'm going mostly with sauropsids) and didn't get much reference for the properly reconstruction and representation in some of the animals here like Gigantopithecus or Ganlea, so there's a lot of inferences based on relatives and my own body for some poses (a funny weekend)...

But I think as my first self-proclaimed attemp of formal paleoartism (yup, I don't consider it "pure" paleoart, mostly for the high-speculative representation or the fact that these animals never coexisted) especially with organisms like primates it's ok.

One of the things to complain about this drawing is the fact that has been badly scanned (thank you, OD employee), and combined with my amateur Photoshop skills there's too much to improve about the resolution.

The animals represented in this drawing are:

- Gigantopithecus (center)
- Chilecebus (center, alongside of Gigantopithecus head)
- Ganlea (center. below)
- Homo erectus (skull and tool; left, below)
- Purgatorius (left. top of the rock)
- Aegyptopithecus (left, above the Purgatorius)
- Plesiadapis (left, alongside Aegyptopithecus)
- Dinopithecus (at the bottom, male and female)
- Notharctus (top left corner, cut by the Office Depot's evil scanner)
- Teilhardina (top, near Notharctus)
- Necrolemur (Top, center)
- Dermotherium (Now I know it was a colugo; top, right near the corner)
- Pliopithecus (right, up)
- Proconsul (at the bottom, on the fallen tree)
- Darwinius (a little tribute to Julius Csotonyi concept; right, alongside Gigantopithecus and below Pliopithecus)
