🐵 Lego Monkie Kid Species Headcanons / Fancharacters

⭐️ Hello again ya'll. It's been so long since I post art. I've been in a big slump, well, until... I watched Lego Monkie Kid and now the monkeys are rotating in my head. Wow, it's been so long since I watched a show that feels satisfying??? LMK did not have to be so good and it was. So... Here are my headcanons/fancharacters for Sun Wukong and Six-Eared Macaque:

🐵☀️ I chose the Golden Lion Tamarin or Golden Marmoset for Sun Wukong.

These monkeys are native to Brazil, live in small family groups and they are omnivores. If I didn't stress it enough in the art, they are endangered, I encourage that you learn about them besides fandom related things. They're just the cutest little guys! They're bright orange all around and have long tails. They are VERY small (a dwarf monkey afterall!) the size of a squirrel 🐿, so now Wukong is a short king, ok. I was happy to see others thought of the same species hc as me, we are on the same page heh.

I wanted to change his clothes a little bit so they'd go well with the bright colors and also just maintain that Wukong's an adult. I generally like drawing him with a bit of facial hair on the chin. Thanks to a fellow artist friend of mine (and a webtoon comic artist: Stellar Riptide) I got used to how to draw the monkey snouts better. I like the Lego style and all, but still, I'm not afraid to furry it up!

🐵🌒 Finding a species for Macaque was a fun little research trip, but here is my pick: Stump-Tailed Macaque.

Macaques live in large groups called troops, and they are generally um a little aggressive to eachother and they have social heriarchies. Fortunately the one with most resemblance to Mac, was a more passive Macaque who are mostly herbivores.

Stump Tailed Macaques live in many south and southeast asian countries, and as the name suggests they have the tiniest tails.

Stumpies have this changing of coloration that I thought would be perfect for Six Eared Macaque because of his association with the moon AND for storytelling purposes. As a baby, they have white fur. When they start to grow up, their fur darkens to brown, and their face turns bright pink or red. Finally as full adults their fur turns dark brown, their red face markings change- some darkens to completely black and some stay bright red, making a beautiful contrast. What that means is, I can play around with the shape of his markings through his life... Maybe a burning heart❤️‍🔥, a broken heart💔, and butterfly shape🦋?

🐒 I know that the Monkey trio are very expressive with their tails, but I took the liberty to make Mr.Macaque "tailless" because of the face markings and because of his avatar being tailless...

I looked at concept art and revisited the bits I liked: The ears, the earrings, the white hairs... the outfit having one sleeve. I thought it'd be fitting for the kind of characterization I want to use for him.

I didn't know this, but I just found out that the Philadelphia Zoo has a network of animal walkways to allow their animals to roam around the zoo! They call it "Zoo360" and honestly it looks pretty cool.

They've also got goats and horses and great apes that all have the ability to Get Around places. I assume that they just loop back to the original enclosure eventually, but what a fun kind of enrichment for animals who travel great distances in the wild regularly! I can't believe other zoos haven't added anything like this to their setups! It looks like it's been up and running around 10 years now, and if so, it seems like it must be pretty safe for everyone involved, and the animals are still using it regularly enough there are lots of videos of them from zoo visits. What a neat concept!

No, it’s not a muppet. This unforgettable primate, found in the mangrove forests of Borneo, is the proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus)! Also known as the long-nosed monkey, males of this species sport a distinctive drooping proboscis, which acts like a resonating chamber to amplify their vocalizations. Scientists think it’s a sexually selected trait—meaning that females prefer louder (and bigger-nosed) mates.
