sketchy art of a broody Haranir man, complete with large ears, fluffy black hair, a beard, quills, and thorns. It's a limited greenish color palette, but his eyes are bright orange.

This is Bracken, and I've got a story brewing :3

I've been really excited for the Haranir since I first saw them--the zone and vibes speak to my heart SO much πŸ’– This is just a scribbly thing for now, but I intend to do more Haranir art when I can ^-^

Oh my. The animation in the new Gorillaz video is so damned good. I'd watch a movie in that style any day if they chose to make one. (Honestly, given their output down the years I'd probably enjoy a movie they chose to make regardless of which style they animated it in)

The film is a hand-crafted homage to the golden era of 2D animation, reimagining the world of Gorillaz through a classic cinematic lens.

Hewlett collaborated with THE LINE on a vision to reinterpret the iconic Gorillaz world through the visual language and timeless aesthetic of 1960s animated features.

THE LINE adopted a hybrid analogue-digital workflow favouring real materials, practical effects and period-accurate limitations over contemporary shortcuts.

"If particular visuals couldn't be achieved in that era then we didn't do them. We processed our digital pencil work to mimic photocopy degradation. We scanned real paintings at high resolution and finished the details digitally. It was about capturing the tactile quality that only real materials give you." - Max Taylor.

Backgrounds became a particular point of pride. Led by Art Director Eido Hayashi, the studio painted base environments on real paper, later integrating them digitally while preserving their texture. Shots were composed in the style of classic animated features, often cutting into master paintings to create impressionistic close-ups reminiscent of depth of field.

"In a time of AI overload, this is our love letter to craftsmanship. We're chasing the feel of pencil on paper. Paint on board. And all the imperfections that come with it." - Max Taylor
