Description This took two days (mostly because my neck started to hurt ), and I'm very happy with it. I'm still working on the line art, and capturing the unique Gorillaz style, but I believe I'm making progress. I loved drawing the raven, (who's name has currently slipped my mind) and Murdoc's expression. I used the cover of my Demon Days album for his face, obviously making adjustments here and there. Please, constructive critism is welcome AND wanted.

EDIT: Murdoc, the raven, Gorillaz, all that is copyrighted to Damon Albarn and the other chick. [link]

EDIT: Okay okay, I tried holding it back, but I just can't help it Murdoc is so ultra-sexy in this pic I love drawing his tongue!

As someone else before me already said, the raven is Cortez.

You captured the style quite well. :3 I'm still trying to achieve that.

your ciggie smoke needs a little stylizing, that's all. you should experiment with different crow positions. XD

Well I'm just a bit tired seeing as I stayed up all night.. And I'm a bit disturbed since you said you'd rather have Kory and Kurtis as bros instead of Zya and me...

I LOOOOOVE it! 'tis awesome. Usually I find Murdoc disgustingly creepy, but here you've captured the good side of him! ... and I don't mean 'angelic' by good, I mean... well... you know what I mean. I certainly don't.

There's really nothing I find wrong with this, aside from the outlining- you could have gotten off your lazy but and perfected it a little more. But, AWESOME

There, I just added a highlight to his eye... It might not be enough, but I don't care

comradecourt In reply to stapling [2005-08-26 18:25:19 +0000 UTC]

m'kay. that's what i thought though i wasn't sure if it was a shadow or not...

stapling In reply to comradecourt [2005-08-26 03:41:54 +0000 UTC]

The reason it is grey is because there's a shadow cast from his hair over it. I was going to do a little highlight on it, but I forgot...

Thanks for the comment

Oh wow, that's so cute.

Just might want to blend in the shading on his face to give it a little roundness, that's about all. It's a cute one! I love it!

Yeah, I tried to smudge it, I guess it didn't quite get the job done...

Not to be modest ( ) but I love this picture too It's definitly one of my favorites... Well, of the two I have
