Monkey business

I’ve been working on a new monkey. Here’s a peek.

Since I don’t have any actual monkey toys in my possession, and I stink at writing down patterns for myself, I have to go by old photos of monkeys past. Look how well he balances without limbs.

This new Monkey 2.0 has several improvements over the old model. Here you can tell that his arms are more jointy. Yes, jointy. Thus enabling larger hugs than his predecessor. Also note the fine curvature of the legs. Buddha would be proud.

This model also comes with super-duper long tail. Just how long will Monkey 2.1’s tail be? I can’t even begin to speculate what advances in tail technology are to come! How exciting.
