      Interesting facts (sorry @Will-Terry the former science teacher had to investigate): The only place where alligators and monkeys cohabit naturally is around the mouth of the Yangtze River in China. You have Chinese alligators and rhesus macaques. In the alligator's native range, there would be no pineapples or papayas but they are both cultivated just south of this area now. It is a humid subtropical climate comparable to the US south, so there would not be jungles there.

      Conclusion: This will have to be a fantasy world.

          Now if he had have said crocodile or caiman, you would have been able to do this realistically AND have a nice little alliteration...

                @chrisaakins What?! No way! I was just trying to be funny, I genuinely mean that! I really didn't mean it like that! I'll delete it.

                    @chrisaakins Ah, its gone now. Moments gone I feel, probably not the right place for it anyway.

                        I had this idea of a smiling alligator, because personally I was rooting for him.

                            @carolinebautista I don't see why not. The last month there was a whole puppet setup for the prompt.

                                @carolinebautista oh because it generally takes me a long time to make a work (esp colour studies with gouache) and I need to catch up on finishing some classes (basic perspective and move to objects in perspective class). Also this month been working on childhoodweek -though its been postponed I have been working on it this week.

                                πŸ™‚ thanks for asking,

                                  Hi everyone, here is my entry for the June contest: A very different kind of prompt!

                                  Starting with a set story plot and defined characters was very exciting and challenging in a positive way, had to do some research about where do monkeys and alligators coexist, and decided to go with the Nile River Baboon and Alligator for Bongo and Clyde.

                                  I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

                                  Praise God!!!

                                    @franksandovalart I love Clyde’s expression! πŸ˜† This is so great, and I appreciate that you did some research for this image, too. Amazing work as always!

                                      Clyde's expression is my wife favorite part of the illustration πŸ™‚

                                      Thank you for your kind words!
