Monkey-Cats! And How To Create Them!
« on: June 14, 2019, 01:52:22 am »
Monkeys are quite unique animals, but have you all seen a monkey character roaming The Grounds? No sadly.. We need more monkey characters then! And this tutorial is perfect if you like monkeys and Feral Heart! Let's get started! Since these are felines, I shall make them a hybrid between a monkey and a cat,(monkey-cat) makes perfect sense! ( This current character I'm making is a Japanese macaque monkey-cat, follow along the steps if you are making that type of monkey!)

Ah, the basic feline...So many things to do with it!
\
Now, make the muzzle smallest possible!

Wow she looks like a monkey already! Now, my suggested options for the nose for your monkey, is the maximum size.

Or the default size, that works too!

Or the smallest size possible! All works!

Now for the ears! I turn the angle into front view, that helps me.

Make the ears small as possible..

Or keep them default too!

Now for size! Make sure your monkey is still bigger than a pup or cub, but still smaller than canines and felines.

Just make the size sliders equal...

This is a good reference for monkey bodies! You can adjust them to look more like the character your monkey is based off of.

Now choose rounded tail!

And rounded ears!

Rounded ears are quite large, slide your slider to the smallest ear size.

(More references)

Now tufts! You can choose anyone you want! Here are some images for what they look like on the monkey.












Cool huh? Now the manes!

This one is perfect if you are making some sort of mandrill or fluffy monkey!

Hmm could work for The Lion King mandrill/monkey hybrids!

This too!

This also can work!

Now eyes. Of course our monkey needs some sort of eyes.
Normal works for monkeys.

Yikes... But black works too!

Use Siamese for head. Body and tail are your choice!

Now the fun part, coloring! Mine is a realistic Japanese macaque, watch and learn new monkey makers!

Erm.. Before you start coloring your monkey.. Whole eyes work too!
Okay now to the monkey coloring!







All done!
Let's watch her in action!

Hi there monkey!

Look at her go!

Wait... What's that expression on her fact..? O.O


.....That doesn't look good.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!


....Hi miss monkey..?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HELP!! RAPID MONKEY CAT ATTACKING ME!!





Remember children, never approach a wild animal.
But there you go! That's how you make a monkey-cat!

Optional:
If you would like, you can send a screenshot to this post of your monkey-cat character! I would enjoy  seeing your monkey-cats!
