It’s time for some silly, self-indulgent fursona nonsense ✨ 🤭 🙈
I love all the art that everyone has been posting lately, especially of people’s OCs 🥰 It put me in a drawing mood, so have a happy monkey face! 🙈 💖
This incredible pic of my OCs is a gift by @thecraftedmacaque, and when I first saw it, I was at a loss for words. First of all, I cannot believe how cool my fursona Odalys (the capuchin in the middle) looks, especially her face fur and her tail and her monke feet 🤯 And Mortimer the chimpanzee looks like the sassy science nerd that he is, and Breck the gorilla looks like a totally sweet but simultaneously mischievous friend. Their posture is just amazing and totally captures their aesthetic. 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much, @thecraftedmacaque, I love it!!! 😍 🙈
Hello, everyone! Sorry, I've been swamped with work and life lately, so I've been a bit absent. So if I haven't been "liking" your content or getting your art requests done, it's just because I haven't been here! I'll catch up soon.
Here is the latest chapter from my fic; it only took me five months to get it done! 🙈
Featuring @picapicamagpie's OC, Cadence, and @thecraftedmacaque's OCs, Lilac and Connor, as background characters. ☺️

Summary:
Odalys accidentally blows an opportunity to impress Klaus Kickenklober. In the meantime, Mortimer realizes that he has feelings for her.
Teasers:
“I’m not worried about it,” the arrogant bird answered, “especially because your half of the class will be doing the monkey dance. The monkey dance is easy; all you do is bare your teeth, throw your fists in the air, and jump around.”
Odalys was indignant. “Whatever, Hector, the monkey dance isn’t ‘easy.’ The bird dance is just a bunch of outstretched arms and finger fluttering.”
“I could do the monkey dance with my eyes closed,” the bird said haughtily.
“And I could out-bird you any day!” the monkey retorted.
“There’s no need to get defensive, Odalys,” Hector began, admiring himself in the mirror as he spoke. “Birds are naturally elegant and gifted dancers. They don’t have to try hard like monkeys do.”
***
Mortimer thought of how many times he saw Klaus roast a dancer in front of the class for the tiniest mistakes, and here was Odalys, fully accepting someone exactly the way she was. He felt a surge of jealousy pulse through him and was angered to think that a girl like Odalys would love a pretentious snob like Klaus.
“He’s nothing like her,” Mortimer seethed to himself.
***
Meanwhile, Breck was in the back of the class actively avoiding eye contact with everyone. He was in the middle of a revenge fantasy against Odalys when he suddenly had the uncanny feeling that someone was watching him from behind. He turned around to see Klaus Kickenklober standing near the studio door. He was staring at Breck’s skimpy outfit with a look of utter confusion and disdain. Breck now lamented his choice to stay in the back of the class, as he was likely the first person Klaus saw.

Sooo excited for these primate Sing OCs 😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🙈🙈🙈🙈
Thanks for the Answer!
Your characters are so adorable 🥰 What made you decide on a crested black macaque and a Hanuman langur as your OCs?
Thank you! For Lilac's species, it was the famous "monkey selfie" of a crested black macaque that inspired me. The moment I saw it, I fell in love with this species and began researching it. I was amazed by these monkeys' sensitivity and calm, friendly behaviour. They're now my favourite primates 🐒 As for Connor's, it was a bit more random; I was very undecided at first. One day I was flipping through an illustrated primate guide, saw the Hanuman langur and decided that would be Connor! I was looking for a large species that could fit the "fun-loving & dynamic" type I had in mind for him and I think this one does!
Sorry if you guys are starting to feel spammed at this point 🙈 😝
In the mood for monkey faces again 🙈
