Where Monkey is King

I'm working on a mascot for my friends at Munky King... I don't have a lot of time to elaborate today, but I at least wanted to share some of my development work with you... I'm tryin' to make it feel like the old cereal box characters, but with a bit more of an edge to it...


The difficulty thus far has been to really keep the essence of the mythology that I'm dealing with, yet give it a modern twist... and by that I also mean to make it feel original...
