Gorillaz: SQUATTERS AU

I’ve wanted to do my own version of the art with the characters from the Squatters AU that best represent the main band members based on how close they’d be:

Zayn as 2D

Biggie as Murdoc

Ven as Russel

Shirley as Noodle

I’m also starting to realize how hyper focused I’ve been on these four OCs specifically when there’s the others who I have hardly given attention to.

Gorillaz: SQUATTERS AU

Search Party

Characters Pictured: Biggie (holding the megaphone), Zayn (driving the van), Shirley (wearing Noodle’s helmet and old jacket)

Biggie grew a big ego when Gorillaz all went missing and started to become “the new Murdoc”. Shirley was under the impression that Noodle (whom she saw like an older sister) was dead and had started to wear her old clothes to remember her though they weren’t her style. Zayn meanwhile had be going through his own issues and his nonchalance towards things started to crack.

A fun little concept series based around Miis!

I tried coming up with names for the Guest Miis

A - Ashton

B - Beverly

C - Chester

D - Dahlia

E - Evelyn

F - Florissa

I feel like I could’ve picked better names, but I imagine they’re use the letters more often instead of their names for reasons such as to make things easier for others, they don’t like their names, etc.

Posting this on my personal page so it’s easier to find, but here’s the Phase 1 designs for my Gorillaz AU called Squatters! I already put it in a Gorillaz community page!

Rundown of the AU: Carly leaves home due to differences with her father and lives in odd places for some time while trying to get by. Her brothers Ven and Collin eventually reunite with her and join her on the journey. Soon, they encounter another group of siblings (Janine, Biggie and Zayn) who also tag along as a bet made by Carly when she saw how privileged and snotty Janine was being. Daichi, a longtime friend of Collin who had been searching for him when Collin left to find Carly, eventually tags along as well.

One day as they were looking for other places to stay, they found an abandoned looking studio. They went inside and were dumb enough to not check and see if it was actually abandoned. Because of this, 4 people who had started a band not too long ago had found them celebrating in the basement. Cops were surprisingly not involved, and the Squatters actually continue living there and even interacting with the band!

Tito, who refused to leave his apartment to stay somewhere else was forced to leave his apartment anyway because he couldn’t keep up with rent. Meanwhile, Shirley was dropped off at Kong Studios one day by her mothers so Biggie could meet his cousin and babysit her. She doesn’t live with Gorillaz and The Squatters, but she visits quite often enough to be called a Squatter!

To clarify, Squatters aren’t actually in Gorillaz in the AU and just kinda live there. They also don’t go spilling secrets to anybody about Gorillaz and treat them as if they were just regular old roommates who are trying to start an amateur band that’ll most definitely falter (little do they know lol)

If anyone has got any questions about the AU or the Squatters, I’m happy to answer!
