Description
I wanted to draw a mandrill face but I think their bodies are so ugly, so I improvised.He is surly for some reason. Possibly he is annoyed at having to wait for another year for the Watchmen movie.

Asanti Sanna Squash Banana We-A-Weibo! (that is probably not even remotely close to how all those words are spelled, so I just went the kindergarten route and sounded it out!)
Sorry I had to!
Good picture tho!

aus zoologischer Sicht gesehen ist ein Mandrill eine Art von Pavian. Sieht aber super aus dein Bild. Hat ein weinig Style von den Figuren aus dem Film: Madagascar.

Even a chimp is so intrigued to see a movie made by the humans? It must be a good movie/book series to involve the mammals being entertained as well.

Baboons really need to be that shade of aqua green more often. It looks fantastic!

For some reason, I'm really loving the fact that he's green. Because it reminds me of that one disease.

Actually, it's called Green Monkey disease, another name for the Marburg disease. xD

I was gonna go "eeee, rafiki!" all over your drawing, but then I read your comment about how this isn't him at all so it felt pretty retarded. ;B
still, there's something about this drawing, you see, the monkey thing really stands out: the lines are way too clean and the colors too. I'm not saying it looks bad, on the contrary, I love how you color your stuff. I just think it would have looked pretty awesome if you had not used lines or colored him in the same watercolory way you did your background. does it make sense? >_>;

Well, I did paint him without lines at first, and it didn't really.. work

yeahh I know it's super difficult. I was trying to go for it.. but I lost my tablet pen *WOE*
did you try leaving the texture on the monkey?

It just looked overworked when I did that :/

Awesome as always! I really like the background, even if it is just a mixture of colors. lol XD And the baboon turned out really nice, if you changed it's body a bit.

Oh no no no! lol I meant in that since you changed it's body, it looks great! You did say that you changed it a little bit didn't you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh sorry, misunderstood ^^ Yes, I improvised with the body.

And it looks great.

Oh my the colors are awesome, and so is the design, you should make this into a sticker or a print.

I'm not sure how to make things into stickers

Me neither.

Still go for keychains though.

I feel his pain, I'm annoyed at the long wait as well. Nice colors!

I mean come on, why even air the trailer if we have to wait that long? >.<

I don't even know. to make us miserable I guess? The comic book had that effect on me. Maybe they're just trying to reinforce the misery before we see it. They want to keep it fresh.

Well, it's giving me a chance to reread it, so I guess it's not too bad

I lent my sister mine, and judging by the fact that it's been 2 weeks and she's read like 3 pages it looks like I'll be reading it about the time the movie comes out DX

Thank you! I read in Wikipedia that Mandrills are colored like olives, so I took it literally

Rafiki!
Or maybe he's upset because that's not his name and he hates being mistaken for Simba's shaman friend. D:

Not quite Rafiki, though the design of Rafiki was also based on a Mandrill/baboon

I know. 
Just like I can't look at a meerkat without thinking "Timon!" or a warthog "Pumba!"

I can't look at lions without thinking "Mufasa Mufasa Mufasa!" Disney has ruined me..
