new Gorillaz release. 2-D was originally in his early 20s when Gorillaz was released, but has since gotten older and is in his early 40s as of 2018. Since Humanz, 2-D has gained wrinkles and a receding hairline. He has also developed more defined wrinkles on his hands. His nose has also changed shape since Humanz, appearing to be somewhat more pointed than it was before. Although he has aged somewhat over time, as the "pretty boy singer" of the group, 2-D generally has a youthful appearance with clear skin and little to no facial hair and few blemishes or wrinkles, even maintaining this look into his 40s. Fashion Along with the other Gorillaz members, 2-D's wardrobe changes very frequently and he is rarely depicted wearing the same clothing twice. This was a conscious decision from Jamie Hewlett to make the characters feel more realistic and stand apart from most other cartoon characters, who rarely if ever change their clothes. His wardrobe typically consists of a wide range of T-shirts and skinny jeans with Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars, although he is often depicted in a long-sleeved shirt, sweatshirt, or jacket and boots as well. In the Gorillaz era of the band, 2-D's T-shirts were typically graphic tees that featured a distinct printed graphic, an element that became less prominent starting in the Demon Days album campaign, where he typically wore plain short-sleeved T-shirts over long sleeved shirts. In the Plastic Beach era of the band, 2-D typically wore sleeveless shirts or a short-sleeved T-shirt and grey pants with a pair of boots, and he often wore a bandana and a clown mask or sea captain hat. In the Humanz era of Gorillaz, 2-D was most frequently depicted in wardrobe inspired by the Black Panther Party and the Sandinista National Liberation Front and The Now Nows artwork mostly showed 2-D in various sweatshirts and leather jackets. Role in Gorillaz As the frontman of Gorillaz, 2-D's main roles in the band entail serving as both the lead vocalist and keyboardist. While he can play other instruments (as can the other Gorillaz members), he generally focuses on his role as vocalist and keyboardist for most of the band's discography. Exceptions to this include the 2018 Gorillaz album The Now Now, where 2-D is often depicted playing guitar, and 2010's The Fall, which 2-D created largely by himself. In most cases, 2-D's singing voice
