I've noticed that a lot of people who characterize primate characters don't tend to keep the correct proportions or overall appearance, so it's really nice to see that someone is doing like a cartoony kind of approach with primate characters but keeping the proportions correct so you actually know what they are.

Thanks. I do feel like many people often get primates wrong when doing them, especially since the primates most commonly found in media are generic brown prehensile tailed monkeys instead of the more varied interesting species of monkeys living today.

Oh yeah, definitely that. I have no idea what that “generic monkey” is supposed to be, either. It just looks like a juvenile chimp with a tail. Out of all the things they could draw, like Macaques or baboons, too... and apes aren’t monkeys, either -_- This is usually seen in children’s media, which is fine, I guess, but it’s also seen a LOT in general media, which has no excuse.
