Haha - funny stuff Tinusch! Love the situation in the first one - it's a little hard to make out the kid's expression in the first one - maybe giving him whiter teeth and some white in the eyes will improve the scared look and draw more attention since it's pretty fucking funny.
Second one is really cool. Love the colors and how the sun pops. Is that by any chance a green monkey swinging?

The second painting of the hanging monkey is superb! Great composition and soothing colours, but the monkey's outline would stand out more if that tree branch wasn't touching his arm.
The first thing I'm noticing in the first is the white cloud waaaay in the background, because it's the brightest object in the picture. Like Loki says, some white teeth and eyes on the kid would bring the attention back to him.

Green monkeys, man that brings back sweet memories. Even my lazy ass contributed to that.
What Highfive said is totally true, the branch is uncalled for. Also I think you should add some dynamic to the monkey and make him a bit bended, would drastically increase the action imo. |
