Description
Golden Snub-Nosed MonkeyAvailable as Print
The golden snub-nosed monkey is a beautiful and stunning primate who deserves to be honoured as a totem animal.
I had a lot of fun colouring this one.
I needed to sort of let it sit for about a week? Two weeks? A lot longer than I usually have to let these things sit, but eventually I came to realise firstly what the circles would hold, and secondly how I wanted to colour it.
Amusingly the colour of the background changed at the last minute, and I'm happy with that too.

I might be somewhat late with this, but I just wanted to say that this is a fantastic profile for such an overlooked animal, especially with the colours you've used for it!

Heh, no such thing as a late comment <3 I'm really glad you enjoyed this piece. It was one of my earliest kind of 'fully detailed' totem pieces, and it was a powerful personal experience as well. I need to illustrate more primates!

I think of all the animal pieces I've seen so far, I like this guy most of all.
The colour scheme is gorgeous and his inquisitive expression is wonderful

This is by far my favorite monkey. I'm generally not a fan of monkeys, as they remind me of people, but the Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey is such an interesting looking animal! I also love lemurs ;D

the imperfection of the circles adds to the picture.

gaah, I can't believe I missed this in your gallery!
I love these monkeys, they're so interesting! It's so strange how their mouths can open very wide, like a hippo (saw a pic on google) it looks almost unreal!
And the fact that they live in snowy/foresty areas is also interesting.
Very awesome pic
It would be really neat if you did some deep sea fish totems too, like a spookfish or a stoplight loosejaw!

Oooo I've always wanted to do deep-sea fish totems. That would be *awesome*
And I don't really like monkeys, but I do like the golden snub-nosed monkeys, they are beautiful, and have such expressive faces.

I can see the agonizing detailing there - wow.
ItΒ΄s beautiful. The patterns and the colours are exactly as theyΒ΄re supposed to be. Great work!

Yeah the inking of this picture drove me nuts. The colouring thankfully, blessedly, wonderfully didn't take half as long.
