Soon after I debuted my work to the Tickling Media Forum and first showed Kaysie to the tickling world, I started to introduce two other girls: B and Kitty, who weren't named at the time. Since they were early versions coloured in colour pencils, they look rougher now and their personas hadn't developed as much. Well at least I didn't draw any shoes on their feet...
Just before I started out, I starting dating Kaysie, and from then on in, it lasted for a considerable amount of time. Here we are posing, and you can tell this pic is particularly old because obviously we're not a couple anymore, and secondly, both of us have changed our looks over the years. But like I said before, this is a mere nostalgia trip.
If you haven't read the profile pages yet, you probably don't know me and Rosa knew each other since nursery (kindergarten) since I was 4 and she was 3, and she was the first girl I fell in love with. This picture is based on an actual photo I have from that time, where me and Rosa were reading a book together, and she had a satsuma with her. Here, she offers it to a wide-eyed Chimp. So cute, it gives you toothache...
Like most foot and tickling people and artists who play video games, I love seeing a female barefoot fighter or character. Mind you, there's really not that many in video games. The Tekken series has featured two barefoot ladies: Nina Williams (in the first game) and Christie Monteiro, one smokin' hot Brazilian capoeria mama. Here's my fan art of her, which I've sent to a couple Tekken fansites. And good news, she's back in Tekken 5 with an outfit very similar to this. Boo-yah!
This is my first real try at doing a proper CG, and it's of Shiki, a mysterious swordswoman who's recently appeared in SNK vs. Capcom Chaos. Drawing and scanning was the easy part. Colouring it in is where I took my sweet time about it. Using an untold amount of layers, merging them up gradually as I go along and adding the right touches in the right places, it doesn't look too bad for a first go.
Originally, this was supposed to be a winter picture post-Christmas, hence the warm, thick clothing me and the girls are wearing in this. However, I used it for a special third anniversary picture instead. Here, it has B, Rosa, Selis and Kaysie having some fun for the picture, drinking and partying, while I'm peering over their shoulders looking like a right mad eedjit. Three years already... God, I'm like an old fart in the community!
The more eagle-eyed and dedicated folk out there who follow my art and know my characters well enough will get what this is about. In case you didn't know, Rosa's most distinguishable facial feature is the beauty spot on the bottom left corner of her mouth, which adds to her appeal. Somehow Robi manages to remove it, looking confused, and it draws giggles from me, Bey and Selis. Someone said she's missing a contact lens. *sigh* Some people really don't know anything...
This picture is pretty much a "changing of the guard". After 5 years of the regular cast, I decided that I needed to make a change, and it's a rather drastic change at that. 7 of the current main cast (Kaysie, Bey, Selis, Rosa, Kitty, KJ and Violet) may appear later on in certain pics, but now, the Monkey Muso Madness "groupies" will take their place (Ana-Lea, Megan, Luna, LuAnn, Crysta, Harumi and Lauren). Me and Robi are in the fore because we're the ones that make the cut for Monkey Muso Madness.
I felt drawing a more detailed picture of a few of the girls in my Monkey Muso Madness series. Here, we have Ana-Lea, Robi and LuAnn: Three cute, sockless wonders. They also provided words of support and reassurance to me after my acrimonious break-up with Crysta at the time. Robi here is wearing the cutest outfit: Fully clothed but still has her armpits exposed. This also cropped up in one of the recent banners I made for this site.
In November 2010, I posted this little picture on the TMF. It's the Chimp's little sister Minky, holding what looks like a cymbal and a pair of drumsticks in a specific way. Also, the cymbal has a strange marking on it. So, what does this all mean? Why is Minky holding her sticks and cymbal that way? Why is the background all blue? Why is that symbol an X with the Chimp's signature head above it? Why does Minky have an awesome smiley face? It marks the Chimp's 10th anniversary since his debut, of course!
