The monkey, depicted in a style that combines celebrity-portraits with cosmic adventure, wore a suit that blended banana black and spacewalk silver. This artistic choice drew inspiration from the works of Gaston Bussière and Andrzej Sykut. The image was created using zero-gravity focus stacking techniques, presenting a unique and captivating perspective. The playful digital art of Android Jones further enhanced the artwork, resulting in a crisp and adventurous look.
