I'm trying to make the monkeybox.org logo.  The monkey is this 2d
shape, precisely.  It's in use on bumper stickers and things...

I'm trying to make a 3d analog and I got pretty close, though
clearly not correct yet.  I outlined the face shape I want with a
sphere sweep, but I'm not sure what to do about the eyes.


The only way I can figure it, the eyes should be a stretched out
sphere like shape.  But how do I contour it to the face?  And how
do I etch out the face shape better?

The only way I can think to do the eyes would be to make the face
surface as flat as possible.  And the only way I can think to
flatten out the area inside the spline is to #while up a bunch of
box{}s.

I guess I ran into a motivation problem more than anything.  Tips
please?

Happily I got the attachments all screwed up. :)

I'll try exactly one more time.

Make the head with a torus and a disc covering the inner hole.  Then your
scaled sphere eyes will sit evenly on the flat surface and your sphere sweep
difference will match the 2D drawing.
