A Guide to Gorillaz Art Styles: Phase 4

So, now we’re getting more recent. The phase began with only a small amount of content spread out over a couple of years until they came back with full-force, so early on Jamie was still experimenting with styles since it had been about 3 years until he’d done any Gorillaz content at all.

Early Phase 4 (2014 - 2015)

This art style didn’t last too long, only being around for these few pictures before the phase kicked into swing. I see these as sort of experiments. This seems to be almost a hybrid of the Phase 3 and Phase 4 style, as one would expect. Most notable tells:

Primarily in cryptic pictures posted to Jamie’s Instagram in early 2015. Some got reused in later Phase 4 art.

This is the style primarily used in the “The Book of” things.

Outlines! Only thin ones, and ones that aren’t fully black, but outlines nonetheless. This makes them stand out a little more.

Murdoc’s face is fucked.

Mid-Phase 4 (2016 - Mid-2017)

(Art from circa April 2017)

(Crack magazine cover, May 2017)

This is the primary look associated with Phase 4, coinciding with the release of Humanz; often this art appeared in magazines and on promo pictures for concert locations. Along with Phase 2, this is probably the one you’ll see in the most popular content as Gorillaz had returned to the general public eye. This art style began with Noodle’s Jaguar promotion in late 2016. A LOT of this is in the Humanz art book included with the Deluxe vinyl. Most notable tells:

Fewer outlines. Of course, they’re present when overlapping on other parts of the drawings, but primarily the edges of faces, arms, etc have no outlines, making the characters look a little more like they’re a part of the real world

More realistic clothes. A lot of deep creases in coats

Heavily airbrushed; there’s a lot of very soft shadows, specifically on the faces

Late Phase 4 (Late 2017)

(Art from November 2017)

(G Magazine, late November 2017)

Jamie seems to love experimenting ever since Phase 4, changing styles rapidly (or perhaps just gradually, since most of the art for Phase 4 was drawn far in advance of release). Again, this art style seems something of a mix between Phases 4 and 5. It was very short-lived, being used for probably only two months at the most. The most notable tells:

Outlines return! This brings back the more cartoony look associated with the band.

For a lot of the late 2017 tour promo photos, some members in the late Phase 4 style are paired with those in the mid Phase 4 style. This makes it look extremely obvious to tell apart.

Here is a sampling of preliminary sketches done by @yumbles, @boyasun, and @mrockefeller in the initial planning stages of the 5 Worlds series over two and a half years ago. A lot has changed since these early explorations!
