Gorillaz : Koko ni, Toochi

"Koko ni" is Japanese for "Here"
"Toochi" is what Noodle calls 2D.

AND YAY SPECTACLES!

These are the characters from the virtual band Gorillaz (which I'm apparently obsessed in); Noodle and 2D.
Considering that this is Phase 1 Noodle (younger Noodle), and Phase 1 Noodle only speaks in Japanese, I titled it like that.


I don't support this pairing in a romantic term, more so towards platonic.
Read somewhere (though correct me if I'm wrong) that when Noodle started to have those frequent nightmares, she went to 2D for comfort. And I find this VERY adorable.

So I decided to doodle this. ...Although it's still unfinished. Yes, I still have surprises after this relating to this piece.
....Argh, I can't ever imitate Jamie Hewlett's style. @_@ I swear.

Got the idea from THIS adorkable picture: [link]
Friggin CUTE.

Based 2D's outfit on the 19/2000 music video: [link]
Based off Noodle's outfit from here: [link]

Chose those outfits because I realized that 2D has that number 13 on his shirt, and Noodle has that same sticker on her headphone...helmet..thing?
Kinda disappointed that I didn't draw Noodle facing THIS way so the number would be apparent on her head accessory.

AND!
I was forced to blur the picture a bit. Because it was too pixely.
Here's the real clean bg-less version: [link]

Time taken: Eh, couple of days.
Tools: Adobe Photoshop CS3.

Listened to: [link] ALL THE WHILE DOODLING THIS. Freakin love that remix. Plus, Noodle's somewhat dueting with 2D here.
