Thank you! I think there's quite a lot of things to be done with chimpanzees, art-wise.

Nice colours, good details and wonderful uniform. Let's sacrifice more Humans from now on. That would lower the population of course and rid us of some evil within us

Unfortunately, it would also rid us of the good!

And unfortunately I would have to go too. And none of us want that, or do we?

I was counting myself in the "evil" lot though

There's a huge gray area between the two categories, though.

I like being on the extreme sides; be altogether evil or good. Good Wishes, Salams...

Ah, but absolute evil and absolute good require absolute knowledge, and we don't have that, do we?

I know about Absolute Zero, that's absolute knowledge to me

Cool chimp. He looks like he is more than willing to sacrifice himself for humanity's noble conquering of the final frontier

hahaha fer sher man...fer sher..I just read this article on how the UN is making a 'decade of contact' for the event that we make contact with ETs. apparently they are afraid that the US will start an ET war because of the space defense systems we are making thanks to the works of Nikola Tesla. I wouldn't put it past us to start a war between planets....what fools we've become lol...ah, shit...really isn't that funny....we're all dead..Maybe we can arm the chimps!

It's a waste of time, in my opinion. I don't think we well ever make contact with any extraterrestrial intelligence.

Nice one. Looks like a noble chimp. Really great job with the details
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I like how theres a green shade in the chimp but I think I would prefer seeing its details (in the face) clearer, as in sharper. I see its sharper by the eyes but I would like it to be more all over the face except maybe the skin?? I dont know.. other than that I like the outfit and the colours surrounding the monkey. poor animal!!

I totally agree with you but the level of detail you're talking about is beyond my technical ability as an artist. I simply wouldn't be able to do it.

Im sure you could
I saw a documentary about the first chimp in space yesterday btw.. his name was Ham and he survived .

I could eventually, if I tried hard enough, but I don't have that kind of time, nor that kind of dedication.

Oh I get it, it's very clever. How's that working out for you?

Hm, I like the colours in that. And you somehow managed a noble expression on his face.
These images of yours always make me fire up google and wikipedia^^.
Most amazing thing (for me) that I found: "France launched two monkey space flights in 1967" I really hadn't known that
And here's that cosmonaut's american counterpart: [link]

And the truth is that I don't think the USSR actually used chimpanzees in its space program. Monkeys, yes, but not chimps.

And anyways dogs - Belka and Strelka - were the the first.

Monkeys/chimps are gross...I think we should shoot more of them into space. lol. Just kidding. Or am I? Great job on painting this...I love all the little detail you put into his outfit. It's funny he looks like he's a ranking officer rather than a test subject. Cosmonaut. lol.
