Project 52 - Gordo the space monkey

So this week's theme was Gordo the Space Monkey ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordo_%28space_monkey%29 ) I'm probably a lil early with my submission but tomorrow is a travel day so I dunno if I'll get it in time if I don't do it now :)

I was playing on the idea that they had never found his body or the vessel and imagined him crashing into a tropical island and living a life of monkey freedom eating bananas and getting up to monkey business. I'm not exactly happy with the shadows on the monkey but didn't have enough time (or skills) to play with it enough and I also think that he's a lil too bright and removed for the scene but its roughly what I'd pictured in my mind so I'm happy enough with it :)
