This scene is my absolute favourite when it comes to how Monty is animated. He has nice, fluid movements and facial expressions here. I wish he was always like this. I have to agree with the smooth fluidity in both style and animation. I should really start using the ' ASiT' caps for reference when I draw Monkey Fist- maybe that will make him look more ''good-looking'' than my usual outcome?XD I agree with the ''hot-style''. I also love how his hair is lying, pointing more towards the front than usual. I'm often afraid to draw his hair like this, in fear of covering too much of his face, destroying the features. I'm going to practise drawing his hair like this more often. I think most of the ' MFS'-likesess has to do with the cheek line, but I'm not sure. I really like the tongue too. Yay for frame-by-frame caps taken in the middle of movement/action! I suppose I'm easy to entertain, but I really love picture captions. Perfect poses and expressions for that situation.XD It made me giggle, even though it's not my cup of tea. ' ASiT' had some great Monty/Killigan moments, just sad it never happened. Still, these pictures are great inspiration, reference and we can pretend it happened in a totally different story. I love it when his he is stretching his mouth that wide that it turns out of the face physically impossible, but impressive and cute I agree. I have a love for squashy-stretchy characters, and Monty's no exception. His ''rubber-ish'' mouth is particularly fun to toy with. Like I've mentioned before, I see it a natural thing that Monty (especially thinking of him as Monkey Fist) is more flexible than the average human- because he's part monkey, and is therefore allowed to break some frames when it comes to expressivity. That's my opinion. Here's an expression (from ASiT) that I've been using at least twice for reference: Monty narrowing his eyes. Even better combined with the smile. And you know I love the wrinkles, here under his eyes.

Ah, gotta look his evil look here. He looks so evil and cunning - definitely not someone I would like to have as an enemy XD

If you're entertained by picture captions, NightElemental made a really funny one at the KP Slash Archive. Here it is, It didn't take them long to realize there was something familiar about the kid the adoption agency sent them. Pfft, as if your Monty wasn't hot already. I love the way you draw him, and I think there's already quite a lot of ASiT style in it. You just make his expressions more detailed, which always adds something extra. I love those wrinkles, too. They make his expressions somehow more intensive and it gives him an overall classy and sophisticated look, but they can also be used to make his expressions of madness look stronger.

Then I went to get some water because I laughed so hard I was thirsty. And then I looked at it again, and I cracked up again, spluttering water all around and almost chocking in the process. In short, who came up with this is a GENIUS XD I completely agree - that's what I forgot to write in the previous post...I was sure I had forgotten something XD

That is the best caption ever! XD XD XD XD
And I agree with Naomi and PengyChan, your Monty is hot! You add so much detail to your work, how could he not be hot! *have to go look at your DA gallery now* (drool)

Some pics because I have no life or good sense of humour. Monkey Fist had never believed in love at first sight, but that day at the gym changed everything. "Yawn. Boring." And that's how Monkey Fist ended up with two broken ribs. It was then that Monkey Fist remembered that female monkeys can go into heat. Kim was very disappointed that Monkey Fist was wearing pants that day. No comment. "Uhuhu, tickle tickle, Ron!" "Chippy, no! I don't like you that way!"

No good sense of humor? Those are pure win ;D Especially the one about how female monkeys can go in heat cracked me up. Here I'm still wondering exactly HOW Monty was planning to separate Kim from the amulet, since we only know it would be 'painful' XD

There's actually a horrendously sucky fic in which he has to rape her to do it.

...wow, that's more or less what I was thinking though I haven't read that fic. Now I'm officially scared of myself XD

Well, you haven't missed much because it sucks. She gets pregnant and he forces her to marry him, but Drakken gets to marry her first or some weird stuff like that. It's so OOC that I nearly bust a side when I was reading it yesterday. ;D

Aw, man...I'm unsure if I should rush to read it to have a few laughs or run away as fast as I can XD

Well, if you ever feel like reading something that illogical, just look up "The alternative Monty and Kim". ;D I know I shouldn't, but I laugh at the idea of Monty putting on a mix CD while he does her.

I looked up for the story...I shouldn't have. If I have nightmares, I'm going to blame you ;D Hey, he raped her, but at least he's a romantic rapist Stupidness aside, I laughed ever harder at the mention of "special magical monkey boxers". That couldn't be serious! XD

I don't think I have red that fic. But it sounds a bit.... hm, what was the word again? Where did you guys find it? I mean, I'm not sure if I sould read it, but since I can't tell you my meanings about it before I have red it, so...

Here it is. There's no rape scene, and Kim's reaction is decent at first, but it quickly gets worse after that.

Ok... I agree with you others. It sucks.

Oh, my God! That first one cracked me up as soon as I saw it! He somehow manages to look both perverted and retarded at the same time. ;D Kind of fits with this Kim-rape discussion.

Haha, that's true - I hadn't thought about it XD Besides, if I'm not mistaking, that's right when he says "I'd like to say it won't hurt a bit". Scary XD
