Artist's Comments

I REALLY like the way this one turned out, sort of (but not quite) like the official style used for generations 1 & 2.

Trivia: the design originally called for an invisible shrew, but after much deliberation and practice I realised that I can't draw shrews ^^;.
Trivia 2: The Galago is a kind of Lemur/prosimian. the word 'lemur' is derived from the Roman 'lemures', which roughly translates as 'spirit'. Juicy wordplay like this is what keeps me making these. :)

Name obviously derived from Galago and ghost.

Very cool idea! I love the design!

I just read the comments, and I noticed something:
Bushbabies/Galagos actually aren't a type of Lemur. They are prosimians, like Lemurs, but are not Lemurs. :B
Also, lemures would translate as just 'spirit' or 'ghost', not evil spirit. ^^
They didn't think Lemurs were evil when they were discovered, but the reflective eyes of the nocturnal species, and the howls of the Indris (along with the sounds some other lemurs, such as the ring-tailed, make) made them think they were ghosts or spirits. The only Lemur that was believed to be evil (although only by the natives) is the Aye-Aye.

Just thought I'd share that with you! xB

True, but I decided to call them lemurs for the sake of simplicity.
(I think I'll change the 'evil spirit' bit however)
Anyway, thanks for commenting and loving the design! :D

I see, but still, they're not Lemurs. It's like calling a Capuchin monkey a Baboon.. xD;;

You're welcome! Glad I could help!

Hrm, I have a galaghost too - created it about 10 years ago and recently resurrected it. When I saw yours, I thought you'd copied my idea but yours looks nothing like mine so I'm guessing its a case of punnish name being too obvious! Anyhow, I'm still going to call mine galaghost, but I thought I'd message you here so that you'd know I wasn't copying you should you inadveriently stumble upon mine.

Extremely coincidental! I'll be sure to check yours out too.
I'm also getting started on redesigning all of mine, so I now have an opportunity to think of a less obviously punnish name.

Well, I wouldn't have thought it was that obvious - but there ye go, eh? I guess great minds, right? I've just completed the "upgraded" version. A vast improvement over the original, I reckon. It's in my gallery. Or will be shortly.
