Happy Eid-ul-fitr!

2010-09-09T11:49:00.001+08:00

Something I did for Eid-ul-fitr starring my characters from an old defunct comic of mine, Wargica.

Translation: Happy Eid-ul-fitr and Forgive all my wrongdoings to the physically and spiritually.

(Dialogue: You're older than me by a month, give me Raya money)
(It's a Malaysian culture thing where people who have work gives money (ang pau) to kids for Eid-ul-fitr)

I gief you not one, not two...

2010-08-25T08:01:00.004+08:00

...but THREE hunks!

Eisu: Wahhhh, hunk overload?

Hanie: Hunks for everyone!

Aimo: Hairy got, cutie got, emo also got! Ho ho ho!

Hanie: Dibs on the cutie.

Hunky Cheese

2010-08-23T20:42:00.005+08:00

Adakah anda terGOUDA?

Eisu: Ha ha ha ha ha, that is hilarious and very theme appropriate!

Hanie: This is literally GOUDAAN bulan puasa

Aimo: LOLOLOLOL, SO PUNNY~

Eisu: Good thing it's a Blue-Eyed cheese and not Blue Cheese.

Hunk Week: I'm da real mon ami

2010-08-23T06:31:00.002+08:00

Dat's right, is Gambit and he here to show you all whad it's all about when it comes to hunks.

I don't read Bleach

2010-08-23T01:00:00.013+08:00

Good thing nobody comes here so I can just post shit that is not yet approved and nobody's gonna know, unless Gossip Girl checks this place out. Luckily that's just a fiction that sucked in the 2nd season. So here goes, my sketches for Animax on something I can't say much yet, but can show!

Eisu: This also will signify the start of a new theme this week, "Hunk Week"

Zid: Ichigo can be considered a hunk? More like.. FLUNK!

Eisu: I know A LOT of fangirls that will be enraged by that statement, ha ha ha ha ha

Aimo: WTH, convoing in the blog post. And K-pop, shaddap. Got almost fainting fangirls in your history, ok.

Zid: FORGET THE COMMENT BOX LULZ!!!!111

Bleep Week!

2010-08-19T14:37:00.003+08:00

My fair share of the theme for this week before it ends! (Un)fortunately it's the holy month so it's cold turkey for you guys who wishes to see the NSFW version :P

And thus begins...Bewb Week!

2010-08-16T05:31:00.001+08:00

Did a somewhat quick sketch to commemorate Yongumi Blog's re-activation with its official cheeky monthly theme, and recorded the drawing process for the heck of it. It features my Dwarven Noble PC from Dragon Age: Origins, Lady Aeducan, deep in slumber. Drawn from start to finish using Paint Tool SAI.

Base art...

2010-05-25T00:05:00.002+08:00

These are base art I did for sadlittle.com's Rantz Angels and Dreamers of Darkness trading card set.

Following Frazetta

2010-05-11T09:03:00.003+08:00

I'm not gonna pretend I know how to paint, so all I can do as a tribute for Frank Frazetta is this black and white representation of the Moonmaid illustration he did. Always been one of my favourites.

Rest in Peace Frank Frazetta... you've always been an inspiration and always will be.

(R.I.P - 1928-2010)

The image for my PSC Back print

2010-05-10T14:08:00.004+08:00

The image on the left is the print at the back and the image on the right is the drawing I used in the print. The drawing itself have a really malformed lower half, dunno what happened, I think I drew the lower half too small compared to the rest of the body, but luckily, I only used the top half for the card's backprint so it looks nice and tidy.

If you wanna know my commission info, you can get it here.

After finishing my one-month-worth "Darkstalkers Tribute" submission (sorry, y'all, can't show the pic publicly as respect to Udon and Capcom's rules of submission), I decided to do some catch-up on some of my things.

I missed yesterday's Capcom-a-day, but tomorrow, I'll be going off to my granma's and I'm going for 3 days, so I'm probably gonna have to make 4 Capcom characters when I get back... I'll sort that out when the time comes, for now, enjoy today's Capcom-A-Day, Dimitri from Darkstalkers.

Capcom-A-Day: Morrigan Aensland

Capcom-A-Day: Ryu

2008-12-18T08:09:00.004+08:00

I've decided to do a daily drawing activity which I will call Capcom-A-Day, as in, I draw one Capcom character every day. This'll be something to keep me drawing fun "me" stuff every day that doesn't involve deadlines or being a comic.

Today's Subject, Ryu

That Myspace face

2008-11-21T01:52:00.006+08:00

.. that I took from Deviantart (I noted her and credit her and everything so prz do not be suing) and then I drew on it and slap on textures and random brushes from either Angryblue and Magurno! Or both! I am so lame. Quickie art for stress relief.

Karas Overture

2008-10-22T23:09:00.003+08:00

Damn COD 4 :P

Are you GARR for GURREN LAGANN?!!

2008-05-10T00:51:00.010+08:00

I didn't post a notice here earlier; In April, I went to Tokyo for a week-long family vacation. It was a lovely time in a foreign land for me...a good thing too, since I'm pretty bummed that I have to pass on San Diego this summer because of unexpected circumstances (eg. $5000+ for return tickets to/from LAX...wtfomgbbq).

I won't be writing about the vacation though, because I am too lazy (it's 1 a.m. and the weekend's just started...jelly limb time). I'll try to post the photos I took now and then.

I did however plonked obscene amount of cash on shopping, buying stuff like the ones below:

Akihabara is a DANGEROUS place for a Gurren Lagann fan. This photo doesn't even include the other GL books I bought like the Groundworks and numerous doujinshi.

And thus, this post is a segway to a GL fan art I whipped up after work at the office, featuring Yoko from the back.

All drawn and coloured in Photoshop+Painter. Yoko may seem like a fan-service for the GL novice, but I grew to really like her character!

Crisis Core Aeris

2008-03-28T14:04:00.004+08:00

Having fun with the game so far!

The Dragonslayer

2007-11-11T20:50:00.001+08:00

Just some ideas that are flying in my head currently. It's been a long time since I did a cel-style poster... kinda miss it.

Happy Eid Mubarak!

2007-10-12T08:55:00.001+08:00

To all who celebrate it, rejoice after a month of fasting and self control! Aku balik kampung malam ni mampus jam woo!

Balik kampuuuung ~ Ho ho ho balik kampuuuungggg ~ Hati giiraaanggg ~

Avatar Celebration...

2007-09-22T06:37:00.002+08:00

Everybody's doing it, ha ha ha ha.

Though, rest assured, I'm not doing it cos everybody is... I was inspired by them, but I've always wanted to draw a more serious Avatar group shot.

Cross posted with my artblog and the livejournal.

Sang Kelembai

2007-09-20T23:05:00.001+08:00

Sang Kelembai is from a local Malaysian folk monsters/characters that can turn people into stone just by talking to them. There's
some dispute over whether Kelembai is male or female, but since my version is inspired by Diamondhead from Ben10, I decided to make him male.

This was done for Pergh's Character Redesign battle.

Yon Gumi at Comiworld

2007-08-15T10:31:00.002+08:00

There will be an event called ComiWorld and the Yon Gumi gang will be there! We will be sharing twin booths with an acquaintance group called Tabula Rasa and we will be selling our Yon Gumix Preview Special (cover and content sample above). The event will be held on the 18th-20th of August and we will be there on the 18th and 19th, at Cineleisure, Damansara from 11am to 8pm.

So, come on down and let's have some fun.

Bears!

2007-08-01T00:30:00.003+08:00

Armoured polar bears duel from the The Golden Compass. Didn't quite capture the ferocity and intensity of the scene I read, and the angle kinda suck but well. Gotta learn to draw more bears!

Batman Rogues

2007-07-17T22:10:00.002+08:00

I love me them Batman Rogues. Especially these 4. I dunno why, but I love drawing them... maybe it's the characteristics that their appearances just give out. These 4, to me, are totally the main Bat-villains and they all dress in suits... ALL 4 of them... well, Riddler has that green tights of his, but I always preferred his green suit and bowler hat look.

Also... riddler's sort of a good guy now...

marker practice!

Out of boredom in the office, I did this whole she-bang of X-men sketch... now, I know it's not the complete roster, but the hell do I care!! I just drew whoever came to mind (and surprisingly, Wolverine came a lot later)

For all you "Love Letter" lovers

Zid came over for the weekend and scribbled a broccoli and a gothic vampire in my sketchbook. Then I filled in the rest of the space with nonsense, in an effort to defy the awesomeness of his scribbles. Sadly, I failed in my quest.

2007-05-19T01:16:00.004+08:00

Somewhat lineart of a fanart Death of Rats from Terry Prachett's Discworld series. I hope the next SkyOne movie for a Discworld series would be as good, or better than Hogfather.

New Look (?)

2007-05-05T17:02:00.001+08:00

Hey guys. I customized to the blog since it's likely to be the official site for Yon Gumi :P If any of you have scans or soft copies of Yongumix from issue #1 to the latest, do let me know. We can have our past issues on the sidebar. Even if it's just the covers.

The blue drop-shadow/outline on the Yon Gumi header is sort of to show our process of using blue lead to draw prior to inking and screentoning our comics. Hope the screentone dots on the background isn't too trippy.
Feel free to edit anything you feel like!

EDIT:
1) In other news, as you know I have completed the crazy load of 200 pages of Dark Hunger for Penguin. I'm not in the position of power to change the cover art though. The book will be released on October 2nd, 2007...

2) I... had too much free time today.. So... I did some pixel mugshots.. I'll take it down if I start to decorate this place like my own blog!!!!

Remember This?

2007-04-25T02:30:00.001+08:00

YG #1... We were teh shit. Had a great takeoff but due to school commitment I was unable to contribute much for the next 3 issues. My entries were lame even for KOTOR II submission. Man I wasn't proud of any of those.. But don't I remember how awesome it felt like then YG#1 was out.

I would love to feel that way again. It's not for the money. It's about the passion brader passion. My hands are itchy to continue/start Black Light as a new title replacing Ultra Jiddo. YG#4 will be great just because I say so.

2007-03-28T20:46:00.001+08:00

Fighters from all over the world got themselves some special tattoos to get new powers or increase what powers they have to join in a fighting competition to see who is the best. Each of them enters the competition with an agenda of their own, including the event organizer, the cyborg Freia. The defeated gives up their tattoo powers to the victor of the battle... who will be the greatest of them all?

This week's theme: HEAT

2007-01-22T10:09:00.001+08:00

Okay, last week was a good start to thematics :D This week's theme (randomly ~~choses~~ chosen since there ~~was~~ were no suggestions T_T) is HEAT. Interpret that visually however you wish.

Also, it's not necessary that you MUST post only themed art during the week...this is just a possible source of inspiration if you're stuck in a rut or something.

EDIT: WHAT HAPPENED TO MY ENGLAND LAH WEI >_<

Not really a villain but...

2007-01-18T13:01:00.001+08:00

She'll beat you over the head with something heavy and take your money. She also smells like urine.

Ok I guess I chickend out coz the villain I was drawing didn't work out. :P
