Sea Monkey - Chimpansea

Description from original post (created 2012-06-11 19:07):

I wasn't monkeying around with this Seamian- Ok I'll end the puns here.

I had a lot of fun making this guy. Not only was I making a monkey skin, I was making scuba gear.
I really love the yellow, goes so well.

His feet are suppose to be flippers, but that's just limitations.
Took me awhile to figure out the eyes. I was listening to the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack which caused Diddy Kong's eye design to pop into my head. Theres a curl of hair on his head like Donkey Kong's little DQ hairdo. I did his tail too, before covering up with the tank. Also the snorkel on the edge like that allowed me to make it 3Dish.

My original plan was to do a vintage Sea Monkey, but the 3 prong head piece would not work right. I also was deciding that or a Naga, but I'd figured he'd blend in with all the Mermaids I saw while browsing.
