BEFORE YOU FULL VIEW please note the pic is HUGE.Hope it won't be too problematic.
Listen to this while you read.
So, this is my illustration for Gorillaz's song, Fire coming out of the Monkey's head.
It might be my fav song from them, and damn, I am subjugated by Dennis Hopper's voice.
I'm not sure how this song is understood by people, and how it is meant to be understood. What I wanted to show here is my point of view: 2D's voice is the Monkey's voice, and if at the end he (the Monkey) burns it all, it's because he wants to bannish the intruders, and to punish the Happyfolk as well, because they were too blind to hear his warning, and let something terrible happen to him.
That's what I meant in this last part with 2D.
I tried something new here, mixing kinda childilish drawings with something a bit more detailed and worked out.
Hope you'll like it

Thank you so much
I discovered Gorillaz very recently, and listened a lot of what they've done, but Demon Days is my fav album from afar. And this song is like, woah
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
indeed they're awesome <3 half my kid days went by by listening to them >w<
btw have you seen the storyboard clip for "rhinestone eyes" ..? it's the best thing i ever saw even if it's just a storyboard ...
also their video clip graphics are quite good (especially for demon days) .. i dont really like the new ones, but they still are amazing ^^
are you gonna draw more gorillaz themed stuff..?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Did not see the storyboard yet, I'll go have an eye on it! Loved the videoclip for Feel Good Inc, way more than the new ones like Tomorrow comes today. But well Gorillaz are still Gorillaz and Gorillaz are awesome x3
And well I plan to draw some other pics with them, 2D most of time I think 'cause I love him :heart but the others will be there too sometimes : D

yaaaiiii can't wait to see !!!
I hope to see Noodle in one of your drawings <3
btw I highly recommend you to get their LIVE DVD - one of best concerts I've ever seen in my whole live (not just on DVD, but including all live concerts I've been to) ...

I've always been veeeery picky about Gorillaz' lives, 'cause I try to avoid seeing the real members' faces the most I can. I know it's stupid but that would get away a bit of the awesomeness... Well. But if there's a DVD with only 3D animations, then that would be great!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well sadly you see a few singers and other people faces that helped Gorillaz with making their songs,
but you can't see the awesome four, of course XD (they're seen only as a siluet)
ah that'd be amazing if they had a fully-animated concert .. my nose would bleed until i'd die XD
I ADORE THE NOODLE YOU DREW <3 SHE'S AS CUTE AS ALWAYS
damn .. now i have to draw something back .... XD

My bro got me the Slowboat to Hades DVD, it's so cool, and there are extracts from this live! That's really really great. And it's so cool to see the Demon Days clips in HQ! So much better than Youtube's crappy resolution... I'll get that live someday. Oh yeah, it'll be mine.
Hehe I'm pleased that you like it! But you know you really don't have to do anything back, don't feel forced or anything, it was a little gift (and kind of a CG exercise) and I don't expect anything. x)
