I am officially announcing my Teepublic storefront! These are the first batch of designs up for sale, keep an eye out for new ones in the future! Please share this with anyone you know that likes stylized animals.
(The actual designs don't have the JC 2023 on them, or the watermark. The signature is just for record keeping purposes.)
Found in the northwest tip of South America, these howler monkeys are famous for their loud, disconcerting roars. Males of this species call together at dawn, creating a cacophony that can be heard several kilometres away! They eat mostly leaves, and move around in the canopy with both a prehensile tail and an index finger that aids the thumb in gripping, like a koala!
I had gritos stuck in my head the whole time I was making this haha. As I was working on this I had a better idea for the evolution than in my sketch (I was thinking mariacha maraca howler monkey back then)… tomorrow’s prompt is soul, can you guys guess what I’m thinking of?
I’m doing a dual poketober (thecrownedheart) and subjectively’s mazah region fakemon contest, so I’m trying to put more Latin American inspiration into these mons! Coming up with Spanish puns is incredibly fun haha
