Well i might as well let y'all know because there's no point in a surprise. These are the CNY monkey lines again, you can tell because the species/anatomy etc matches up pretty well.
I modified some chameleons for CNY and thought they were way too adorable to do a one-time thing, so after a couple weeks of developing baby lines, here we are!
And yeah I get why people don't like monkeys, I don't particularly like them myself, so I tried to make these ones as cute as possible. They are based on Squirrel Monkeys, which I think are the cutest of all, and have had some features stylized to make them even more charming. While they are still monkeys, I think I went as far away from "ape" as possible to make something that would win over most people because come on, they're cute, no matter what species they really are!
But of course, if people don't like them, that's totally ok too.
It looks like they are a heavy monkey lineart edit going by this post Minimanta linked, from the original artist Berkshire :0
Really interesting outcome, thanks for digging those posts up Minimanta. I think it has been a game of telephone over the years among staff, so we were all firmly under the belief they weren't just edits originally. Really nice to see the original posts confirm it one way or the other
