Artist's Comments

I had decided not to draw Gorillaz again, for a while. The reason being, that of late, I've had Murdoc on the brain. Or as Spyder1070 puts it, "Murdocian Fever." But last night, I had a rather strange dream.

I was standing in a large photo studio and there was the setting for the front cover of the Demon Days album there. It was very early in the morning and the sun was barely up, so the room was very dimly lit and the only light was coming from the huge lamps, shining on to the set. The band walks in and Muds, being his usual obnoxious self, snarls that he wants this to be gotten over with quick, as he has not had his morning cigarette yet. 2-D is distracted and looking around as if lost, Noodle is in her pajamas, rubbing her eyes and yawning, holding the huge meaty hand of Russel, who seems to be the only one unaffected by the whole situation. Muds snarls that this is only a photo test, to get everything organized for the real photo, so there's no need to get all dressed up and the final positioning, will be worked out today. They climb up the stairs at the back of the setting and stand in their chosen positions, the camera man starts clicking away. Four hours later, Noodle has given up and fallen asleep, 2-D who hadn't heard Muds complain he hadn't had his cigarette yet, has lit up and because it's the last one left, is fighting off Murdoc, who wants either the cigarette now, or he's going to throttle the little blue haired man. Russel, who has finally had enough of 2-D not being able to stand still and because of which, has ruined every shot taken so far. Combined with, Murdocs insistence of fighting with him about it and everything else. Just wants to bash both of their heads together and go back to bed. That was the last image I had, before waking up. So I jotted it down quickly and decided it was the one. I'm hoping I have finally done it, found something no one has thought of drawing yet. If not, please don't tell me. Just let me live in ignorant bliss. Thank you.

Thank you, to Mr Jamie Hewlett, for the use of Gorillaz and the album cover Demon Days.

:iconrachotamer:s Colored version of the picture. [link] Quite wonderful. ^^

This is great! :D Wonderful stuff!

Thank you very much. I'm quite proud of it myself. I was a little worried about 2-Ds hair. But I didn't want to get too fussy, in case I obsessed it to death. It's fine, just as it is. (:

Maintaining your dignity can be difficult, when you've just walked naked into the next door neighbours lounge room, and thrown up on their cat.

Thank you. (: Oh my God. I did! I hadn't even noticed that. Sorry 2-D. Oh well, it's a very small flaw, I might fix that at a later date. Thank you for pointing that out. (:

I don't know. I guess I just wasn't paying attention. XD It's a very little nose, compared to Murdocs anyway. He'll just have to stay in doors when it rains, thats all. Otherwise, he'll drown. XDD

I know what the problem is now. I've been looking at two different phases, but not realizing there's a difference. Dee explained it. I drew phase one hair on 2-D, but was looking in ROTO and seeing phase two hair and couldn't bring the two together nicely. Why do I get the feeling, Dee could of explained that so much better???? I desperately need a holiday. ):
