So I'm writing a paper on the communication of emotions through robot faces and I stumbled upon this horrible example of how not to do it.

It's name is "Probo".

It's effective at conveying emotions, but at what price?

This is Putu the Proboscis Monkey! When I first googled these monkeys I was gobsmacked! 😨 It was definitely a challenge figuring out how to make them look cute 😅⁣⠀
Putu ended up being one of my fave characters I designed for 's new kids album

Galar Probopass for 's It's based on "green man" statues and oak trees. Galar Probopass live near old structures overgrown with plants. It always faces towards the north when it rests, so they are known to be helpful for lost travelers.

Last but not least, another more basal member of the group: Barytherium. Rendered here basically as a realistic version of the Pokémon "Drowzee" https://t.co/TKQ0FPstoH

My most detailed entry into the Proboscidea series was the American mastodon. I painted as much of the fur as possible. https://t.co/PhJrTVUk21

Palaeoloxodon falconeri is a great example of the crazy size disparity that can occur within the same genus. I didn't know this extreme was possible for mammals https://t.co/x52Tj8s0aH

Aaand the biggest proboscidean ever, the massive Palaeoloxodon namadicus. This one I can really hear the elephant-like rumble every time I look at it. https://t.co/rL3HgZ2cs0

Yeah! The drawing was inspired in a TCG card where Probo looks like a mother duck with ducklings. I really love this card!

Very rough first attempt at a size chart here, I pretty much eyeballed it based on skeletals, etc. Mostly wanted to see what they all looked like together!

My FINAL proboscidean is Mammuthus primigenius, aka the woolly mammoth. This is one of the most popular of extinct organisms, serving as the iconic "mascot" to the Cenozoic. It is characterized by its instantly recognizable shaggy coat and long, strongly-curving tusks.
