Hello my dear friends, today I bring to you a new skin, I need yo to criticize it =p, obviously.
Oh, and have in mind that I'll probably change the hair to a smother hair.
Another thing, erwt, ya monkey is way better and different than mine (I'm refering to Kiki), so I think I'm not stealing your idea, if you think the contrary, I'm asking your permission =P.

So, finally, here it is:

and here it the monkey I used as reference:

I like it. I would change the eyes from red though. I dont like how they contrast with the face. Also the nose looks rather...Flat. Could be a model problem rather then a skinning problem but i think if you take aLITTLE more time on the nose it could look a bit better. GJ though i like how its comeing along.

thank you =).
about the nose, I have already spent a lot of time on it, so I decided to make the otther parts first, cause I was a bit stressed with it =P, I agree it looks flat, but the model doesn't help me, cause DotT has a 'curve' nose, not a flat one, like monkeys' =/

That would require model editing to fix, but it's not that big of problem, it looks good :)
Anyway about the face overall, it's looking hopeful, I like it

Keep it up

actually I don't know the difference between monkeys and apes, but thank you anyway

oh btw, update:

I know his foot is just WRONG, but that won't be noticeable in-game, so I won't bother redoing it (actually, his toe is completely wrong =p) and I know his beard is in part blue, but that'll be solved when I manage to do his fur/beard properly .

Woah! I opened you post and read to and then scrolled down AND THERE WAS AN ANGRY MONKEY FACE! It actually startled me. I liked the skin more pink as in the first one, just because I don't think of apes having smooth looking skin..sort of hard to explain. Anyways, even if the pink looks odd against his grey hair I like it that way. Other than that it's a great skin. It would be cool to see in a map if thats what you plan on doing with it.

It's coming along nicely, but add more fur on his arms and stuff.
