Looks great grizzly! But my question still remains from the frist page. I have an excellent design for a lemur that was in a movie, but in real life, doesn't exist. does it need to be based off of a real primate that lives here on earth?

thanks for the kind words! here's another picture to show some more of the shape. if someone's really interested in, i'll try to draw a diagram or go create a pictured one. yes, yoshua - it's a quite simple model.

rollercoasterbug - just fold your movie-lemur! personally, i think it not necessary or possible to create just a lifelike copy of a primate. if the members just see the monkey in your folds and like it, everything's alright.

My apologies! I put a watch on this thread and received one notification (which made me think it was working) but then received no more, so I am only now seeing your question.

I think that is fine : ) It certainly is based of a real primate and looks fairly real (if I am thinking of the same one). I guess I will leave it up the judge, but I think fictional looking primates is fair game. And I suppose, to be fair, that should also include the "romper." Sorry for the confusion folks, I am new these challenges

I will make sure to check in daily to answer questions. Sorry for the delayed response!

this white gorilla came out of playing around with the dinh-style - far away from being perfect but - as i think - with a better shape than my last post ...
