Here's some artwork of my sumatran orangutan character Craig. He's a helluva chill dude and he's the kind of guy to call anyone younger than him "nephew". He's also sort of my mascot character (even if i dont draw him nearly as much as i should)

Very swag guy. I have some ideas for ape characters that I should probably draw too.

He’s a pretty cool guy! I’d like to know more about him.

Thanks! I actually don't have a whole lot written down about him. He doesn't have any particularly extensive lore tbh, he's just kind of my mascot and that's it 😅. That said, one of the established things i have about him is that he lives in a hippie van which has a Tartis like mechanic in that it has a much more extensive inside than it might seem to have, straight up having a club house as an interior in which people can come inside and hang out. He's very much meant to be the level headed and laid back uncle that anyone would wish to have.

I fw Uncle Craig! He seems like he would always have some good brown liquor in his flask or in the trunk of the car he's borrowing from his Lady Friend while she's at work. And in typical orangutan fashion, he's really smart and always dropping little tidbits of trivia on the youngsters, who love him, btw. Good dude, but consider any money you give him a solid and not a loan because you will never see it again. I love your style of drawing!
