you're really into propaganda, right?

for me personally, the lips look kinda strange, though

What I love about propaganda is that it's an artist's dream: on the surface, it delivers a very unequivocal message, but if you look past that, you find a universe of connotations, most of which completely contradict the intended message!
Could you tell me more precisely what you think I should do about the lips?

yes- i think, that many artists in this world
are forced to do "something like" propaganda
-just to make their living....with their gift to create....
...and you can't hold your own mind back forever
*uhmmm*
about the lips.....
....i think the lower lip seems to be more
plastically than the other one-
and it seems (to me, who is no chimpologic )
a tad too parallel.....hmmm....something like that
just popped up in my mind

Ah yes, I see what you mean now. I'm no chimpologist either, I have to admit!

Nice painting. The eyes came out wonderful...
Although the symbolism may be just a bit off... If you were intending to portrait the first animal launched into space, it was a dog, not a chimp.

Thank you!
Actually the only thing I wanted to portray was a chimpanzee in a cosmonaut suit.

Well that's fine then. Artistic freedom is something you should never argue about. XD
