my gorillaz

[IcePyro]

recently i've been thinking of trying to animating more like the gorillaz, because i love their work.
so to start out i've made one of the characters from their music video's (dont know his name, if he has one)

tell me what you think so far, i enjoy constructive critisism.
and to be clear, this is just the start, i'm using their characters to learn thier style.

His arms look a little stumpy :P But good work.

your a legend i love gorrilaz and their art style
especially the art style
so did you trace it or is it from your head or with use of reference
im guessing use of reference this its quite accurate
other than the neck downwards
