Gorillaz is doing something interestinghttps://youtu.be/c7UotLxLSU8
>>152565137Reminds me of BLOOD OCEAN
Looks like fun but I'm pretty sure they use the same walk cycle animation for Noodle, Murdoc and 2D
>>152565137Imagine if they, I don’t know, made a single good song for once? Everything since demon days has been unmitigated trash. save for melancholy hill the rest of plastic beach was horrid and everything since has been unlistenable.
>>152565137I highly doubt that.
>>152565447The pink phantom was good thoughever
>>152565137Reminded me a lot of Jungle Book. Cool shit
>>152565137Am I crazy, or does it look like AI? Like AI assisted at the very least.>>152565447I quite like the majority of Cracker Island.
>>152565447Imagine taking that stick off of your ass
>>152565137Utter woke nonesense
>>152565607I don't think it's AI because for some reason past a certain point Gorillaz' 2d stuff has always been a little off. Like the budget barely falls short.
I completely lost interest since after demon days. What's the point if Noodle isn't underage.
>>152565137will it be like interstella 5555 sort of deal?these band movies are always of interest to me
>>152565843Queer
>>152565137Is this supposed to be Bakshi-inspired, or is there a name for this style?
>>152565137Finally they are doing the movie they always talk about
>that snake
Humanz-era noodle is the sexiest
>>152565447Most of Plastic Beach was fantastic, and there are a couple really good songs on each of their newer projects. It's not as cool as it used to be, absolutely, but to say that Cracker Island and Skinny Ape aren't great songs is stupid
>>152565607The walk cycle is 100% AI, some of quick cuts also look at the very least stolen and traced from other shitThis would kinda suck and ruin Gorillaz reputation forever since their core fanbase hates AI by default
>>152565447Midwit cattle opinion
>>152566497Albarn is a pretty heavy lefty too, but I guess money talks louder than principles, yet again lmao
>>152566526Whats with you people and immediately taking accusations as fact
>>152566537Huh?I'm the anon that posted >>152565607 of course I'm going to believe my own assertionWhat's with YOU people and being straight up fuckin braindead?
>>152566497>This would kinda suck and ruin Gorillaz reputation forever since their core fanbase hates AI by defaultWho told you that bullshit? AI and Gorillaz are doing fine brother.
I'm glad they're going back to their pulpy style, I wonder if they have another Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head in them, it's one of my favorite songs ever and this feels like the same mindset except visually
>>152566632The mountain in lore seems to be a reference to that song
>>152565137e fucking years a Gorillaz cartoon
>>152566643Google "Gorillaz Bitez"
>>152565137I will be watching. Also Noodle is hot.
>>152566362Rotoscoped. The term you are looking for is rotoscoped.
>>152566583no one with tastes like AIyour case in point
>>152566661That was 20 million years ago brother
>>152566497I'm pretty sure Jamie likes the AI shit. Always thought this art he did here looked like AI
>>152565607>does it look like AI?I doubt because Hewlett said a few days ago he mostly doesn't approve of AI and would rather that real artist prove that you really don't need it
>>152566726good fucking lord that is one ugly bitchI wonder which random british woman he grabbed off the street as a reference
>>152565137Thank fuck that Noodle is looking pretty again after going full crazy Yoko Ono in the last phase
I hope they make a comic too it feels like obvious for something like gorillaz>>152566693Yeah but its the closest we ever had to a traditional gorillaz cartoon
>>152565843You gay?
>>152565447Silent Running was good
>>152565137People shit on middle age noodle's look but I like her.
>>152567016>middle age noodleT-Thirties aren't o-old!
>>152567032jokes on youI'm into hagmaxxing!!
>>152566726Absolutely, the "brushstrokes" on the face look extremely like AI
>>152567099Thats just how hewlett draws
>>152567016Middle-aged, but he's in his thirties, I mean it's not like what happens with Chun-Li from Street Fighter, who is canonically in his fifties but looks 29.
>>152566726Not AI. Look at the details on the patches, there's no inconsistencies
You need to remember that AI "art" didnt come from nowhere and its distinct style is directly copied from artists like jamie
>>152567152The patches could've been drawn by hand on an AI illustration
>>152565447I will not stand for this slander of Glitter Freeze.
>>152565137Not many zoomers know this is a real band
>>152565137>Gorillaz is doing something interestingFor once. Have Damon and Jamie killed themselves yet?
>>152567189I guess that's technically possible, but the girl doesn't seem AI to me either
>>152565137
>>152565137Gorillaz died in 2012
>>152567264Humans tend to paint consistently and predictably, and these areas and brushtrokes look very random and AI generated to me, fine at a glance but fall apart under scrutiny And overall the color palette and values remind me of multiple "punk" AI images I've seen, also I don't really remember Jaime having a painterly style, he's more of a two tone type cartoony type colorist
>>152567388bimbofied noodle is not as hot as haggard frumpy noodle
>>152567432She's not bimbofied there
>>152565447I like Stop the Dams and The Pink Phantom a lot
>>152565421Yes that's intentional because it's a period piece imitating early 1970s limited animation, good of you to notice >>152565571Yeah, Kaa being in the video for a hot second is kind of a hint
I do agree about the frumpy part though
>>152567438my apologies
>>152566497>their core fanbase hates AI by default>I'm the main character so what I think everyone thinks!
>>152567465Ah is Okay!
I wonder what a poll would say about if people here like AI pics
>>152566726Hewlett's pastiching the kind of 1970s commercial artists who used to work at MAD Magazine like Norman Mingo. Nothing unusual here, no tells of AI.
>>152567516see >>152567370
>>152567550>Geminiwhat the fuck? I thought all the main imggen platforms aside from Grok were censored beyond use
>>152567370>also I don't really remember Jaime having a painterly style, he's more of a two tone type cartoony type coloristhttps://jamiehewlett.comHow do you remember to breathe
>>152567555Yeah I saw a shit ton of zoomer red circles and meticulous badge detail with no blurs or smears. The black eye comes from an old "rather fight than switch" Tareyton cigarettes ad, the face is as I said earlier a pastiche of Norman Mingo (the guy who painted Alfred E. Neuman on the badge), and artists are in fact not anal about painting hair esp. if under deadline. There's no coloring inconsistency in foreground or background that signals AI, the pose makes sense as does the expression, so if Jamie did use AI he did an enormous amount of coverup.>BUT THE EYESYeah I don't know what to tell you
>>152565512The Pink Phantom was almost good, but there is an entire segment of the song that makes me wonder what the fuck they were thinking combining one of the best guest singers with one of the worst.
>>152565447>didn’t like Andromedaholy filtered
>>152566497They haven't had a good animator for well over a decade.
>>152565137de-age noodle and we can talk.
>>152567443Can't wait for the resulting rule 34 from this
>>152567636I'm not seeing a single piece in the painterly style of the girl with the bruised eyeI'm seeing a lot of photos ran through filters
>>152565447Stylo was good
>>152567841>I'm not seeing a single piece in the painterly style of the girl with the bruised eyePretty interesting photo then.
>>152565700doub they'd steal the hypno snake scene from disney that blantantlylooks 100% AI.
Cool schizo thread
>>152567889That's also a photo, amateurishly painted over, with nowhere near the supposed brushwork or creative stylization of the bruised girl, and supports my theory that he doesn't paint
>>152567841>This commercial artist cannot possibly do something I haven't seen already! He's not a newspaper cartoonist or a comic book artist, he is already on the site showing you he's able to adapt to a given assignment. >Look I have another red oval! These aren't proofs, they're cries for help
>>152567933ngl lil bro, youre actually kind of a schizo
>>152567933>That's also a photoEvidence?>amateurishly painted overDefine "expertly," remembering this is an exercise in his own portfolio and not a commission for you personally. And that he's employed unlike yourself.
>>152567936If he's willing to put a painterly filter over a photo and call it his art I wouldn't put it past him to use AI
>>152567960If he took the photo it's his call not yours, scrub.Anything else of his not up to your anonymous standards?
>DIS IS CWAPPY EH EHH EHH!draw moar red ovals faggot
>>152567958>EvidenceRandom values that don't define the form or depth, most noticeable on the elbow and the way that arm connects to the shoulder, very common amateur painter mistake since they follow the reference light blindly >Define "expertly,"Not having obvious amateur mistakes >remembering this is an exercise in his own portfolio and not a commission for you personally. That's all fine but you're using it as evidence that he painted the bruised girl and I'm telling you I've never seen him paint like that before >And that he's employed unlike yourself.And he's a great artist that I admire greatly and he's done some of my favorite art ever, it just seems like he doesn't paint a lot and that the bruised girl looks AI generated, which I'm only pointing out to be realistic, not as witch hunt or anything
>>152567960>Clearly this is a filter that's how they work right I see a likelihood he sketched over a photo then painted it in long after the photo layer was turned off. For the record the first painters after the camera also used it to produce artistic references with models who stayed in place (and no, people didn't rail against that, a few art critics bitched about photos by themselves before realizing no one agreed with them). But no this in no way resembles a photo with a Photoshop filter applied to it, those are glaringly obvious. You'd know this if you had any experience using it.
>>152567636Is this hysteric schizo a regular in gorillaz threads?
>>152568083Wasnt meant to quote that post but the question stands
>>152568083I don't know but if https://jamiehewlett.com/collections/collection-no-2-the-magnificent-7 isn't an indication of the man's range schizo-kun needs his phone and his computer taken away
>>152565447Holy fuck you sent the shills into an absolute meltdown.
>>152567304The full length version is still one of my favorite songs.
>could have more lewdle of noodle>Thread derails over stupid shitI really fucking hate this site these days
>>152567946>>152567958Are you two retarded or simps?>>152567889You literally have colour compression gradients on the shotgun that's literally photorealistically drawn, because it's a photoThe photo was clearly a cosplay photo session in some old industrial building. Behind that's is a impossible perfect water tank with true to life perspectiveStop being retarded. It's 100% painted over photos.
>>152565137I still miss Cyborg Noodle
>>152568354You have to make up your mind if its AI or if its a painting lil bro.
>>152568479lmao, enjoy your slop
>>152568479It's a photo that's amateurishly painted over which would indicate he doesn't have the painting skills to pull off the bruised girl piece>>152568160This is also a filtered photo that's been drawn over
>>152568812>This is also a filtered photoYou talk a lot for someone with zero knowledge
itt: anon begins to learn what reference photos are.
>>152565330I KNOW WHO YOU ARE
>>152565330It reminds me of the old Hobbit and LotR cartoon movies
>>152565607everything advances so fast these days I don't have any confidence I'd even be able to tell
MYSTERY NIGGA
>>152565137Exciting!
>>152565447butbutbut anon, i love dogshit forgettable music!!!! in fact, mumblerap from literal who's featuring damon albarn speaking through a walkie-talkie is my favorite jam while i'm pinching loaf in the face cream aisle of sephora
>>152566493They're the only two and they're barely good. Cracker Island at least sounds like Gorillaz made it. Flimsy Steve strikes again.
I did not know there were so many anti-gorillaz schizos
>>152566860>>152566811noodle not in whore makeup is unsettling because we've had her looking pretty dolled up for the last 5 years.
>>152570409Gorillaz is kind of a failed experiment conceptually. They're supposed to push the band and their inner world lore, but all of that is secondary to features and politics. But also people here REALLY hate hip hop, even though trip hop is based on it.
>>152570450>>152570409Damon and Jamie even admit it with the new album of how so many other bands have done better since they started doing it. But Cass Brown left who was responsible for actually building an interesting world that wasn't the flavor of the month, and it fell apart after that. If the characters feel more fictional than Phase 1-3, that's why.
>>152570450The politics were always center tho features too although more common place now
>>152570470One thing is thinking the band was better back then another is the retards having meltdowns on this thread
>>152568812Don’t bother there will always be another defense
>>152570471ehhh the first album was more like a playful experiment, then Demon Days was their serious political statement.
I suppose the way to ultimately defeat twinkdeath is to just be fictional
>>152570471I'd say it was less cookie cutter politics? MF Doom helped produce Demon Days, so the politics seems more tounge and cheek rather than on the nose. Plastic Beach was more about drunken self loathing, which is why it's the last good album. Humanz through Sound Machine was like strongly pop focused as it looses the hiphop and goes for dance and trance. Cracker Island had NO idea what it wanted to be but trying to appeal to gen alpha and it sucks!of the songs mountain has shown, the hard core fans are over hyping it. I like two of them so far, while the rest are just boring and mid. Since The Fall, all of the songs seem under developed and just end without making a musical statement.
>>152570517Maybe not the songs themselves but they were already doing shit like free tibet back in 2001
>>152570527Considering there are still people today that think shit like demon days was apolitical i really dont blame them for being less subtle about it, too many retards
>>152565644Stfu pedo protector
>>152570558Dirty Harry is specifically about the Gulf War part 2 in the 00s. But Damon pussy'd out on using Trump's name in Humanz because he wanted to pretend that he didn't exist in the Gorillaz universe.And to make matters worse, the subject matter of the songs are pretty mediocre cause I don't think the guest artists know what the final song is going to be. They're just asked to sing and Damon will "work his magic". If people hate the rapping of Gorillaz in modern songs it's because the beats aren't very good or as tight. We're getting a lot of mumble raps that aren't in english and might've been done freestyle without a track. Damon quite literally reusing dead rapers tracks and putting the worst rhythms over it. Modern rappers that are over reliant on either not fixing anything or autotuning their work. Damon will have to spend a long time over producing but still settling on a beat that sounds like a preschool song or penis music.
>>152565447nah, song machine was really fucking good. easily my fave along with pb.haven't listened to cracker island yet but people say it's decent
>>152565447(You)
>>152565137I fucking love the black guys captain cold sunglasses
>>152565137They aren't, Gorillaz is at its best when they don't make anything lore related.
>>152565946>Gorillaz making a movie ever
>>152566775I find her attractiveguess i'm fucked up
>>152567370Humanz was mid at best and I'm telling you that as someone who listened to it with entusiasm.
>>152570526Fictional twinks can avoid twink death but even cartoon women like Noodle can't avoid the wall apparently.
>>152565447WE GOT THE POWER TO BE LOVIN' EACH OTHER NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENSWE GOT THE POWER TO DO THAT
>>152568896BLOOD OCEAN
