Gorillaz new cartoon band member.

Gorillaz announced this week the winner of the contest "The Evangelist", in which, they were encouraging their fans to draw the new character for the band. And they can add members to their band whenever they want to, they are just cartoons making awesome music. They received over 5000 drawings and over 175000 votes according to the official site. The winner makes himself call Jirouta. And his design was redrawn by cartoon illustrator Jamie Hewlett, original member of Gorillaz and personal friend of Damon Albarn.

"The Evangelist" is the opposite of "The Boogieman"; the light to his awful shade. "The Boogieman" has appeared in several images from the Gorillaz world, and now featured in several videos. "The Boogieman" is believed to a dark and hideous figure, composed of all the evil in the world, all wrapped up inside his black swirling cloak. He has a gas mask for a face. He may have reappeared throughout history, an ominous figure accompanying the re-emergence of Murdoc Niccals through all of time.

"The Evangelist" is a similar entity, but the flip-side of "The Boogieman". He/she may even be revealed as "The Boogieman's" avenger.

Here's Jirouta's entry for the contest:

And this is Hewlett redrawn of "The Evangelist".
