If you see this, we IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation.

Never again. I'm never doing semi realism EVER again "for fun." This kept me from finishing my short story LOL. This was also another infamous "warmup sketch" that ended up being a full blown study/commitment. #gorillaz #gzbsky #ashsflame #murdoc

A sketch of a semi realistic Murdoc Niccals from Gorillaz. It was my version of his "realistic" Humanz design. This was pure pain and suffering. It may look okay, but I am dying after finishing it.

Art of Murdoc Niccals from the cover art of Humanz. I love this artwork.

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· 16d

Oh Jungle Book fans will be be eating GOOOOOOD when I finish this short story. I love Kaa and I'm ABSOLUTELY going to project HARD onto Naga Murdoc with references. That's a guarantee.

Text that reads "“Oh we have our own… sssubtle little ways, Love. Nagas are fast… efficient… we typically have a way of being everywhere~” he teased"

Text that reads "My eyes widened as he was right in my face, grinning like a devil with eyes opened wide. My face started to burn again and he seemed delighted by the sight. “Just… trussssst in me, Love, and everything will be fine~”"

Welp I've done it. I'm officially the first person on planet earth to draw Naga Murdoc. The brainrot consumed me and I gave in. This was supposed to be a simple warmup sketch... Lol. All ref images are in the comment section under this post #ashsflame #murdoc #gorillaz #naga #sketch

Murdoc Niccals drawn as a Naga, the mythical creature that is half man half snake. He eyes someone with a devilish grin, fangs and tongue out of mouth. He crosses his arms and rests upon his own coils. He has the pattern markings of an emerald tree boa all across his serpentine body.

Hey you. Yeah you. Go read my homie's comic about their adorable, hot little Norwegian wizard dude right now. You won't regret it 💙⚡️

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· 23d

I swear there are only two things my brain hyperfixates on. My hypnotist OCs (9/10 times it's just Michael, my beloved) or Gorillaz. Or both at the same time. Someone end me I don't want hyperfixations to just run my life 😭

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· 23d

Genuinely INSANE how drawing a character 1 million times actually shows a difference in how you draw them #ashsflame #murdoc #gorillaz

Cropped sketch of Murdoc Niccals from Gorillaz eyeing a character to his right (our left). A bit of green blush can be seen on the tips of his ears and all across his face

A sketch of Murdoc Niccals eagerly grinning at someone. This sketch is not only more accurate to his character model, but it looks better too!

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· 28d

Working on something SUPER personal that I sadly couldn't finish in time for my birthday, but I'm pushing to try and finish it anyway. I've literally put self care, chores, important artworks, and other responsibilities on hold because of this. It MUST get done. If I don't do it now, I never will

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jul 13

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY SO I FINALLY GET TO POST THIS VIDEO. LET'S FREAKING GOOOOOOOO

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jul 12

This is easily my favorite sketch of Murdoc for 2026 so far #ashsflame #murdoc #murdocniccals #gorillaz #sketch

A sketch of Murdoc Niccals from Gorillaz. He grins eagerly at someone with a big smile plastered all over his face.

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jul 9

I NEARLY JUMPED OUT OF MY CHAIR I- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OR SAY. I'VE BEEN AN ENORMOUS FAN OF HERS FOR YEARS I- TYSM!!! IDEK WHAT TO SAY. IDK IF YOU'LL EVEN SEE THIS. I'M SORRY I'M A DORK IF YOU SEE ME ON HERE. THE ONLY BRAINROT I HAVE RN IS GORILLAZ, HYPNOSIS, MY OCS, OR ALL OF THE ABOVE

A notification from Art Fight that shows new followers. It reads "scales-and-spirals is now following you!"

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jul 3

I'm legitimately curious as to what your favorite artworks from me are. May as well give this a shot

Text that reads, "Artists, post this if you want your followers to leave a comment on what their favorite artwork of yours is."

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jun 30

Ik there's like a 2 year difference between these two artworks (and one is an alternate universe version of the other character), but it's kinda weird seeing how my art style shifted. Even if slightly. It's nice??? Idk how to put it, but it's nice seeing improvement, even in the small things

These two photos freaked them out lol

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jun 23

I wonder if this will make them chill out?

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jun 23

Can someone explain to me how these are sexual???????

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jun 21

Ref images for Ash (first 2 pics) and Michael (last 2 pictures) respectively

Take this since my birthday is coming up. Text is also in alt

Text that reads:

Hey guys. I just wanted to stop by and say a few things before I disappear again!

I'm alive. Ik I've been posting sketches ALMOST consistently, but I haven't really drawn things I NEED to. I have a commission I need to complete (my client is a literal saint has the patience of a angel), a DTIYS after the comm to celebrate now 3̶0̶0̶ 400 followers, reference sheets for my OCs, art to illustrate my Michael and 2D Gorillaz crossover short story... It's a lot to get done and there's a LOT more to do... and I don't have much time. I also have a summer class I'm taking, but it ends next week.

I won't get into super personal details, but my mental health has been deteriorating. Rapidly. For about 4-5 months. College friends have said that I look sickly physically and I am not improving. My depression and anxiety have worsened and somehow my parents think I'm fine??? And that I can just "change the way I think" (they also don't believe depression is a medical condition nor do they know I have it). They also are forcing me to attend university in the fall, despite me begging to take at LEAST one semester off for my mental health and financial issues... they said no and now I'm enrolled for fall. So that is contributing to my extreme burnout. I also will have to miss Gorillaz coming to the USA in September so that's absolutely wrecking me emotionally too. Life sucks.

Text that reads:

That paragraph is a lot to take in, so forgive me. On a more positive note... my birthday is coming up on July 13th. I never really celebrate it much with friends (family issues keep me from doing so), but I want to do something a bit different. One of my friends made an entire birthday list for themselves for their friends/followers and I want to do the same. I don't want much, but I do ask this:

I have a really, really strong adoration for Gorillaz and my OCs. The only thing I really want is fanart. Whether it's drawing Ash or Michael individually, together, or with members of Gorillaz. I'd love anything. Hypnosis art is peak, cute art is appreciated, chaos is always welcome. I'm good with anything. Or if you guys just draw Murdoc, I wouldn't complain (although Ash with him would be awesome)! Regardless, that's what I want for my birthday. Art of Ash and/or Michael with or without Gorillaz.

Thanks for reading my mindless rambling. I'm gonna disappear again now. Adios.

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jun 19

Looks like someone decided to swap clothes with a friend... But that's totally normal friend behavior and not relationship related whatsoever :3 #ashsflame #murdoc #murdocniccals #gorillaz #sketch

Murdoc Niccals in my OC Ash's hoodie. He's sitting up on the floor and grinning at an offscreen Ash lying on the ground in his outfit. He gives her a smug smile and simply observes her.

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jun 18

What could possibly go wrong with Murdoc finding out that Ash is easily hypnotized and will do whatever she's told?.. I'm sure absolutely nothing! #ashsflame #murdoc #oc #ocsky #gorillaz #art #sketch

Ash (left) completely zonked out and staring mindlessly into Murdoc's eyes. Murdoc (right) has a mischievous and devilish grin on his face as he gazes back at her. Drool is dripping out of the side of Ash's mouth while Murdoc just presses his forehead against hers. Both their hair is flattened against one another's.

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jun 16

I decided to sketch during my class since I never draw on physical paper. It's amazing how much can change in like 5+ years #sketch #art #HTTYD #Toothless

Various sketches of Toothless. The first two doodles were from around 5+ years ago while the bottom sketch is from today

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jun 16

So a word about artfight this year...

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jun 14

This is my favorite obscure movie that not a single one of my friends has seen, but I adore how stupid it is

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jun 13

I'm close to crashing out from irl stuff. So take Murdoc finding out that hypnotism is real and coming to that realization after goofing off with a pocket watch around Ash #ashsflame #murdoc #gorillaz #oc

"Hypnotism is real?.."

Murdoc glancing down to the left, thinking about something while talking to himself. Ash has a dazed expression and is staring blankly into space.

"I- ..."

Murdoc staring out, processing something slowly. Ash is still dazed.

"..."

The gears are turning in that old Brit's head with a realization. Ash is still dazed.

"𝘏𝘺𝘱𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘮 𝘪𝘴 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡."

Murdoc gives a very smug grin and says something reassuringly to himself, satisfied with a probably evil thought. Ash is still dazed.

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jun 9

I absolutely adore these!

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jun 9

Follow up to this. I'm trying to keep myself from burning out and crashing so badly #murdoc #murdocniccals #gorillaz #sketch

Well this is... interesting. I've had them like several of my posts before, but this is the first Murdoc post they've liked LOL

Text that shows a post I made was liked by the user Chiitan

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jun 7

I think I know who this was from, but I cannot confirm it. Regardless I just ate Taziki's, but ty for the offer

A prompt that reads "Ask me anything / possible drawing request?"

Below a box with text says, "I'm heading to Wendy's, y'all want anything?"

Capt.Ash (in my Gorillaz Era)@captainash· Jun 6

I SHOWED ONE OF MY COLLEGE HOMIES MY NEW STRAWPAGE AND THEY SENT ME THIS IMMEDIATELY 😭😭😭

A box that has the prompt: "Ask me anything / possible drawing request?"

A message below says "Can you draw Shrek X Steve Harvey"
