Amazing background art by the incredibly talented @cutekoala1001. I commissioned her to draw The Salty Simiano, which is the restaurant from my Sing fanfic. I could not be happier with how it turned out!!! The colors, the lighting, the decorations, the angles, the way she fit so many features into one shot, just...all-around mind-blowing 🤯 

As you all know by now, I am kind of obsessed with the anthro primate characters from the Sing movies. For my Sing universe I made up a Latin American-style cantina that welcomes all animals obviously but panders to primates; it is known as a monkey hangout in Red Shore City. It also features sugar skull-type art, except the skulls are of anthro animals 😂 In the picture, the larger skulls on the wall, window and floor are chimpanzee skulls. In the bar area, the two skulls behind the chairs are a deer and a crocodile, and the one by the menu is a dog. The one in the corner by the enclosed seating area is a koala. The area on the floor covered by the skull is a dance floor. 

What I love about this piece is that, like all good art, it tells so many stories. I didn’t really flesh the restaurant out very much in my fic, and seeing it here really helps inspire me to create ideas for it:

• That little enclosed seating area by the tree is very cozy, so I can see it being a popular romantic place for  couples. But it’s also large enough to seat more than two, so I can also see it as a meeting place for friends. 

• The restaurant has live music from time to time. Most of the bands are local Latino musicians, but since this is Red Shore City, you can also find visiting musician stars performing here from time to time. 

• The band plays in front of the Salty Simiano logo. This allows for many photo ops, especially with the dance floor nearby. 

• If the band knows that there is a romantic couple sitting somewhere, they will walk over to the couple and serenade them. They will also play music loudly in front of shy-looking patrons seated at the tables, insisting that they go out and dance. 

• There’s one band that’s really sassy and heckles the crowd all night, in Spanish and English. The singer will butt into a dance and “steal” the guy’s partner from him and tell the girl that she could do better in terms of mates. He says this into his microphone so that everyone can hear him. 

• The art in the restaurant is featured in numerous cultural publications in Red Shore City (magazines, etc.). The restaurant has also published a pamphlet that explains the history and meaning of the sugar skulls. Art students also come here for studies. 

• The tree was already on the land before the building was constructed, and the tree was special to the restaurant owners (being monkeys). They didn’t want to cut the tree down, so they just constructed the building around the tree and made a skylight so that natural light could filter into the room. As the tree gets bigger, they will remove the tiles that surround it. They hired a professional landscaper to prune the tree in such a way that it will eventually grow through the roof, and they will renovate the building to accommodate the tree. I know this would never happen irl, but I’m kind of a hippy and would love to see this. 

Thanks so much for doing such an amazing job on this, @cutekoala1001! 

The story of how Sing 2 invaded and transformed my mind, in emoticons:

😮

😍

🙊

More monkey doodles! I guess it’s a self-indulgence kind of day 🙈

Odalys del Mono, one of my Sing OCs I just needed to draw a silly monkey today 🙈

This is incredible 🤯

I never would have guessed this could be, but it’s really cute!

I thought they were just together cause they carpooled, but I guess it might be more???

shots from the storyboarded version of Johnny’s end performance in Sing 2 :D

go watch it here !!

storyboarded by Hansel WS on Youtube

i really recommend everyone to watch it, it’s very well done and manages to captures each character perfectly!!

So today is Post Amazing Art Day on my blog 🙈

These two pics of my OCs are by my friends @thecraftedmacaque and @picapicamagpie, and I just love them so much!! The monkey is Odalys (my fursona), and the gorilla (Breck) and the chimpanzee (Mortimer) are her chaotic friends. Their expressions are just so perfect; Breck looks like the kind goofball that he is, and Mortimer looks nervous because he has a crush on Odalys (she has no idea 😂). Odalys' face in both pictures is so adorable, and they did her face fur perfectly 💪🏼 Face fur is my favorite feature of anthro monke characters, so this is very important to me. The face fur definitely passes inspection 🧐 🙊

I love these, guys, thank you 🙏🏻 💗

This is so cute, @thetheaterfam, thank you! I love the different colored eyes, the coloring, and the bushy tail 🤭

I hope you guys enjoy this, I made this for @girl-monkey-odalys I tride to combine a husky and a dalmatian

Ryan sketch just because ☺️
