Description This is Murdoc, copyright Damon Albarn and that Jamie person. I used this one picture as reference... I forget where I got it, but it's easily found on google, I'm sure. Anyway, I just tried to capture the basic style, and I spent a lot of time on this trying to get Murdoc's CHIN right! I think it doesn't look half bad Constructive critism is very much welcomed, I'd love to know what I can improve on, that's why I'm here!

EDIT: Sorry, forgot the shiny-ness of the cross Although I don't suppose anybody would have noticed...

EDIT AGAIN: I forgot to apologize about the sketchiness

I shall try not to make it levitate so much

I think 2D is the hardest for me... I have so many sketches of him that I hate sprawled across my floor.

Thanks for the comment

maybe certain people are good at certain characters!
I'm sorta good at 2d(after billions of practices) and you're good at muds(with very little need for practice)

I suppose that's true. Although, I did do a couple of sketches of Muds before actually /drawing/ him. I think I'm just better at him because I like him a lot Because my sister is better at drawing her favorite character, Russel, than the others... So I just figure that the better you like 'um, the easier it is to draw 'um Although that's probably not true at all...

that does sound reasonable. The better you like the person the more effort you put into them.

Coolies. I like the words in the background Although I think the shading you could've worked with a bit more... But still, VERY awesomistic for the first try!!

Thanks. I'll work on the shading next time.

That's super good! My first murdoc drawings look like they got caught in a blender. LOVE the shininess on the cross!

OH MY GOD!!!! That's like the BEST drawing. Holy shit. You can see the resemblance to Adrian though....

AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE THE GORILLAZ!!! I'm in disbelief. That's awesome.

Thanks so much for the compliment!

What do you mean by shiny and stuff? Do you mean the shading?

layers, my friend. It's all about the layers. And utilizing the opacity tool. Do you have adobe photoshop?

Aww, you should look into installing it. It's very fun to work with and there are tons of techniques and stuff to use. By the looks of it, you're pretty good with what programs you've got. Especially your icon, it looks really cool.

I have no idea, I've never looked. Maybe if you look up adobe photoshop you can download it off of the internet.
