Gorillaz' Noodle with sparkling yo-yo - Mixed media YO!



This is a drawing of the fictitious Japanese guitarist at some point between the Demon Days and Plastic Beach era(s); likely after that time when a certain contingency, that didn't know Noodle was a girl, all became sexually confused and suicidal by the 2005 video for DARE. You can still hear(/read) their rattled gender-identities echoing dissaray throughout YouTube comments sections.
I started this without a proper reference, which resulted in this stylistic hybrid that looks a lot more like my regular kind-of-shit than the refined scrawlings of Jamie Hewlett (the stylistically developed barrrstard!), yet I was happy when people still recognised the character.
I tried out a range of different drawing materials on this one; including a graphite stick, slutty sanguine oil pencils, crayons, coloured ink fineliners, dash o' charcoal and some subtle tweekage on photoshop (..the legs).

I also saved a sharper black and white version, as I figured it looked more... professionalé than my childishly executed, yet.. colourful attempt at mixed media. V

COLAB SPECIAL I

It's been a while...

I do have a fair volume of scribblings to post, but to start; I thought I'd do a colaboration special.

1/2 & 1/2's with Dominic:

These drawings involve one of us half-drawing something ambiguous and the other completing the image. [This doesn't include Matt, Party, and Natters playing Halo, it was just on the same page.]

Magician in Tank & Eyeball Mine: Started by Dom, finished by me.
Croc-mutant, NASA tryouts, Ming & Grenade Cat: Started by me, finished by Dom.



Wilson with shotgun: Pencil'd by me, Inked by Matt



Afro Seal: Penciled by me, Inked by Miller.



David Apple: Very lightly penciled by Hannah; ruined with ink and crap handwriting, by me.
