Monkey Business (Patreon)

I set up a Youtube account for ya - so here's my first video! 

This is the sketching process from a panel in The Great Minds (Old Gods) comic. I thought this one might be interesting because it was such an ordeal for me! 

I kept changing the face - and also the species. My early attempts looked too human, while others were too ape-like. It just took ages to get something I was happy with. 

The upshot is that in the end, I couldn't tell you whether you're looking at Australopithecus or Homo Erectus. Which probably bugs me more than anyone else on Earth, but whatever. 😂

Someone pointed out the strong 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY overtones to this comic, which frankly is probably inevitable, given I've watched it a billion times. But also, I just realized, I have no idea what species the 2001 ape-men are either, so maybe I'm in good company. 

So, yeah, that's the narrative I'm going to go with.
