Description This is one of the pieces posted on my site. I love these skull faced gorillas and hope to make a comic about them some day.

I'd like to make a sculpture and possibly a mask and/or costume of these fierce primal creatures.

Hope that I'm not offending anyone, but the Skullrillas kind of remind me of the monsters from Temple Run (as in apes with skull-like faces).

Thats funny you bring that up. I just saw the Temple Run game in the stores this week and thought they totally ripped me off. I did this piece back in 2005.

omg, i love your work. if i had the time, i would comment on all your drawings, but i know i wouldn't be able to think up enough comments worthy enough to match your drawings. where did you get your obsession with monsters? (where you molested as a child? o_O )

Um...... no.

Actually I am obsessed with monsters ever since I was at a county fair as a kid and got to see an actual, and one of the very last, freakshows. I ran off from my parents and snuck into one and was amazed and horrified at the same time. Loved monsters ever since.

Yeah, didn't they have some little apeguy called Stink or something? Don't know if ya do requests, but you should do a warped take on him getting rabies & turning on everyone else. I may be thinking of another show.

I love this picture, my favourite is the large Skullrilla in the background and the babies are terribly cute, my only critique would be that I think the sky would look better if you added some depth to the colour and possibly some light beam and/or blurr effects to give the jungle a bit more atmosphere.

sideshowmonkey In reply to BlackBileHumour [2005-09-18 19:35:04 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I originally had more atmosphere and stuff back there but it felt kind of crowded to me. I like big shapes of nothing and negative space so I went that way with it.

Reminiscent of Doug Tennapel's Skullymonkey's design for that game. But a lot more R rated. I luvvvvvvvvvv it.
