2010-10-16T21:27:00.000-07:00

Nonameart Blogspot exclusive, MY WHOLE 100 CARDS IN FULL GLORY!!!

This is my first set for Rittenhouse Archives, entitled Marvel: Heroes and Villains, where we have to draw 2 characters in one card (or if we did a puzzle, then we can split the characters into two different cards, but I didn't do any puzzles at all) featuring either a Hero and Villain fighting or Hero and Hero or Villain and Villain and they don't have to fight. Anyways, here are all my 100 cards, shown here, for the first time, all the cards in big size, just for the people who visit my blogspot.

You can now see the bigger full one here, in my deviantart.

Happy Eid-ul-fitr!

2010-09-08T20:49:00.001-07:00

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)

2010-05-10T17:57:00.000-07:00

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.

Commissions for Damsels & Dinosaurs and Rantz Angels

2010-04-30T17:21:00.001-07:00

I'm opening up commissions for Damsels & Dinosaurs and Rantz Angels Return cards. These Return cards are official cards of the sets, so you'll be getting a nice card stock with an official D&D and RA logo printed at the back of the card. The commission info are as follows:

Colour = USD70-90
Black & White = USD 40-50
(prices depends on how specific the commission is)

I don't do pencils only (mainly cos I tend to be VERY messy with my pencils), my black and white pieces are inked.

I'm opening up only 8 slots per set, so please specify which set you want the commission for. 8 on Damsels & Dinosaurs and 8 on Rantz Angels. It goes without saying, of course, that the commissions must adhere to the set, as in, I will only draw women (or men) and dinosaurs or the equivalent of them being in the era said animals lived in for the D&D set and I will only draw Angels for the Rantz Angels set.

E-mail me at eisu.commish@gmail.com

Thank you.

2010-04-12T18:00:00.000-07:00

The work I did for sadlittles.com sketchcard set, Rantz Angels. Click download for original size.

Some of them have wrongly drawn wings cos I kinda forgot how to draw wings for awhile. The cards are not put in order, so the correctly drawn wings and the wrongly drawn ones are mixed up in there.

Oh yeah... the Ninja is inspired from Ibuki of Street Fighter fame.

We will be selling Yon Gumix 5 at Comic Fiesta 2009 this weekend at the Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre. The top drawing there is the cover of the book, drawn by Zid. Also features drawings and comics by Hanie and Aimo.

New artworks and commissions.

2009-09-08T15:19:00.000-07:00

New stuff'a comin'...

These two are done when the news of the Disney/Marvel merger was unleashed online. I just couldn't resist pairing up my favourite Disney Duck with Daredevil (not really my favourite Marvel character cos I like Spider-Man more, but it's Darkwing Duck and Daredevil!!)

And these are my latest sketchcard commissions:

Trip Photos.

2009-08-05T17:23:00.000-07:00

The past week and a half or so, I made a trip to Los Angeles all the way down to San Diego to attend San Diego Comic Con and then back to Los Angeles for a week to stay with my foster brother. Here are the photos to that trip.

Link will transfer you to Facebook.

SDCC was huge fun for me, I met a lot of great artists like Eric Canete, Sean Galloway, Tim Townsend, Sanford Greene, Bobby Rubio and so much more. Also, my first volume of No Pink Ponies debuted there as a graphic novel.

Hopefully, I can work on NPP in this week or so as I am confined to my house on a mandatory swine flu quarantine for 7 days. Today's the 4th day already. I wonder if I can work on it enough to get volume 2 printed by next year...

More Sketchcard commission...

2009-07-12T16:27:00.000-07:00

Let's face it, the only time I can actually draw something these days is when I do work or making commissions... so the probability of me actually drawing sketches for fun anymore? Not very high...

Bunch of drawings and commissions.

2009-07-05T10:00:00.000-07:00

I've been doing a lot of commissions lately, haven't really drawn anything for myself, but hey, as long as I get to draw something. I will get back to my comics soon enough.

And this is the cover to No Pink Ponies vol.1, pre-orders will be available next week. We're hoping to sell this at San Diego Comic Con.

Old Animations

2009-03-31T16:07:00.000-07:00

These are some old animations I did that, with the help of a colleague, I was able to turn into FLV files and upload em to Youtube. These are done in 2003-2004 as GIF Animations, so don't mind the quality. They're all drawn in Photoshop and converted to animated GIF in Adobe Imageready.

I did post the animated gif on this LJ yeeeeaaars ago... but now, I'm reposting them but in awesome Youtube version, ha ha ha ha.

Capcom-A-Day: Morrigan Aensland

2008-12-22T06:57:00.000-08:00

Capcom-A-Day: Ryu

2008-12-17T16:13:00.000-08:00

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

Marvel Masterpieces II Artist Proof Sketchcards for auction

2008-10-15T07:04:00.001-07:00

This is it, I'm ebaying my Next Wave puzzle set I drew for the Marvel Masterpieces II Artist Proof cards. Here is the link to the ebay item:

Next Wave!

Bid for it if you want it ^_^

Marvel Masterpieces II Artist Proof Cards

2008-10-14T09:25:00.000-07:00

So, Marvel gave us 10 Artist Proof cards where we can draw Marvel cards and do whatever we like with it, keep it, sell it, trade it, ebay it, whatever... I finally finished my MM2 APs and just got them approved by Marvel a couple of hours ago. I had 6 of the cards commissioned exclusively for people on the Scoundrel Art Forum and 1 card for the winner of the name everyone in my MM3 list I did a couple of entries ago. So that leaves me with three cards to do whatever I want with. And here's what I did:

What's gonna happen to these three cards is that I'm gonna ebay em... as a set, of course. When will I start? I dunno yet, but once I do, I'll announce it here, my livejournal and probably on my deviantart journal too. If you want this Next Wave set I did, just keep your eyes peeled for my ebay announcement in the next couple of days.

Marvel Masterpieces III Sketchcards

2008-09-05T19:27:00.000-07:00

That's right, I joined the Marvel Masterpieces sketchcard again. I made a challenge to myself to do 50 guys and 50 girls (or at least, robots that looked like guys or girls) and I also made a challenge to do it all in full color and individual cards only, no repeat characters.

Anyways, I finished it and thankfully, succeeded in all my challenges.

I took 100 cards for this set and I found out with 100 cards, I cannot draw all the characters I wanted to draw... there are only two cards in there that I didn't really wanna draw the character but had no idea at the time who to draw.

Bigger size version is available in my Livejournal and also a challenge for a free Marvel Masterpieces II Artist Proof Sketchcard.

Marvel Sketchcards auction!!!

2008-07-16T07:40:00.000-07:00

So, the Marvel Masterpieces II series is out and some of my cards have been pulled and put up on Ebay for auction. If there are among my fans who wants to grab a sketchcard that I drew, you can try to bid for it.

Elsa Bloodstone

Agent Brand

Alex Wilder (part of a 6 cards Runaways set)

Aunt May

I'm actually just proud to have the cards just being pulled out in the first place. This is pretty cool stuff.

Komikoo #4 is out!

2008-07-10T17:06:00.000-07:00

And my latest comic is in it. I'm kinda proud with how this comic turned out cos I really put effort in it especially the colouring. I also coloured it straight in CMYK, so the comic prints out EXACTLY how I coloured it, so that's pretty cool there. Well, it's a little dark, but I think that's cos of the paper used. The cover is done by a friend and colleague of mine, Kromosom, very talented individual. Anyways, 2-page preview to my comic under the cut.

Malaysians, go get em at your local newsstands and bookstores!!

Full Lips

Just a random girl I decided to paint.

Inspired by her...

I haven't painted in such a long time already...

Marvel Sketchcards: 2/2

2008-04-28T09:45:00.000-07:00

Last batch of cards, approved and sent out. The quality's not as good as the first batch, but that's my fault cos I was practically rushing these (especially the last 60 cards, I think) to meet the deadline... that'll teach me to procrastinate...

Also, I made it a goal for myself to go through all 350 cards WITHOUT drawing Wolverine (not cos I hate the guy, cos I don't, I love wolverine, but I figure everyone else will be drawing him anyway, so missing from one artist won't be so bad), but in the end, I buckled as you can see in my last card. Oh well! Ha ha ha ha. Still, enjoy peeps.

Marvel Sketchcards: 1/2

2008-04-22T19:39:00.000-07:00

I'm doing a Marvel Masterpieces II Sketchcards work and I just got my first batch ALL approved, so here it is, in one LOOOOOONG collected form. 180 sketchcards, soon to be available inside boxes of Marvel Masterpieces II trading cards. Only ONE card per box in a random pack inside said box. I'm doing 350 cards and I'm well on my way to putting in the finishing it all... soon... real soon...

New project

2008-02-26T09:57:00.000-08:00

A Gurren Lagann project that me and a couple of my friends are doing for this weekend's local Malaysian event called GACC that will be held in MMU Melaka. What is the project? Well, I'll go into the details of it after the event, for now, enjoy what I have.

Also, for those who's coming to GACC, do drop by the Yon Gumi booth... uhhh... somewhere in the artists booth section.

Stupidity: On TV!!

2008-01-22T03:49:00.002-08:00

So, I came to work, turn on a computer and goes to my usual net spots, which includes the place where I get ALL my gaming news, Kotaku. And one of the gaming news that I got? Stupidity of Mainstream News Television... FOX News...

Okay, yeah, people have always said that Fox News is just not a credible piece of news network as they get facts wrong and/or they don't get any kind of facts at all, but man, the annoyance level... it'll always be there, yanno? This time, they were talking about this really superb game, Mass Effect.

Basically, Mass Effect has this part in the game where you can have sexual relations with a partner of your choosing between 2 characters, depending on what gender you play. But to get to this sex-scene, so to say, you have to go through 20++ hours of gameplay before arriving to said scene which, from what I heard, is near the end of the game and to get it, you have to work hard for it, choosing the right thing to say and the right thing to do. Heck, you might not even get it from what I heard if you do things wrong.

Yes, you see me type from what I heard mainly because, for lack of a console, I haven't really played this game. I mean, I'm playing it, but on my friend's console and I'm playing like, 1-2 hours a time and so far, I only played it for 3 times. That's beside the point.

Fox News is saying that Mass Effect is a horrible influence to children because it depicts "full nudity and sexual intercourse where you can do whatever you want" if I quote the anchorbi... I mean, woman, correctly. This is totally unfounded and untrue. From what I know, there is no nudity, the scene was tastefully done and all you get is a 2 minute cut scene of the sexual intercourse in progress. And out of a 30++ hours of gameplay? What is 2 minutes? But apparently, this is the issue that's being spotlighted on Fox News and how the game is a bad influence because of it, even though the game's main storyline does not even revolve around that scene. They got this debate thing that went on for less than 5 minutes between Geoff Keighley, someone from EGM I think and an "expert psychologist" who says that the game objectifies women and is played by children despite having a Mature rating (which is 17-18 and above) and the annoying part is how the "expert psychologist" and the anchorbi... I mean, woman, keeps on interrupting Keighley when he tried to set the record straight about Mass Effect. And when Geoff finally gets his time to say something, the anchorbi... I mean, woman, interrupted him and said, "Oh, we're out of time" and then they went to a bunch of stupid people panelist who complains about the game that they never played (Keighley asked the "expert psychologist" if she played Mass Effect and she scoffed and said, "No") and one of the panelist said that it's unfortunate that parents have to work harder now to keep tabs on their kids. Why is that unfortunate? You wanna go party the whole night and leave your kids alone if their responsible enough to take care of themselves? It's unfortunate cos kids bog your life down or something? That's a horrible thing to say.

I just find this whole thing so annoying and stupid, so out of the advice of a friend, I decided to blog about it and let it out.

New sketches

2008-01-20T07:12:00.000-08:00

(Cross posting with my livejournal)

I finished some work at the office and drew this earlier last week, but didn't scan it til now. These are just some faces I drew, see if you can recognise these people... except for the one on the top, that's just some random weirdly shaped head guy...

Right after that, I decided to draw a bit of a commentary to Marvel's "One More Day" story arc of recent Spider-Man comics.

Then, I decided to draw some Altair heads which then lead to me drawing that weird looking guy with a creepy smile at the bottom corner and that made me want to draw the Heath Ledger Joker of the upcoming The Dark Knight movie. And I added Scarecrow in there for fun... anyways, that leads to...

...A full sketch of the Batman Rogues in a slightly sort of kind of not really realistic look.

Komikoo #0!!!

2007-11-22T06:04:00.001-08:00

It's out (in Malaysia)! My latest foray in the local comic scene, this is a new komik magazine that just came out in Malaysia that is published by a good friend of mine. Those who are in Malaysia, you can get it now at book stores and places like that.

Oh, also, my komik is in there too... though it's not really of high quality... but it's colored by Aura so it's still good quality! Ha ha ha ha ha!

Go... buy... now...

Sketches and stuff...

2007-11-11T08:31:00.000-08:00

The first sketch is just a whole buncha hooey that I just randomly draw. No story or anything behind any of those characters.

The second sketch is something I've been playing in my mind recently called Zinda the Dragonslayer... those are, again, random sketches but this time of the whole Zinda the Dragonslayer idea. The idea behind this one is that the guy is her rival and the girl with the punk hairdo is a dragon in the form of a human, I figure I'll name her Sylph... such a common name for this Humanoid reptiles... and the guy on top I guess is a villain? Also a dragon in human form.

Avataar: Book of Fire

2007-09-25T09:54:00.001-07:00

Finished up the sketch I did a couple of days ago.

You can see the colour progression here.

And here's a 1280X960 wallpaper.

Avatar: Azula and Aang

2007-09-25T04:04:00.000-07:00

A little Aang and Azula sketch done in the office. I was sort of bored, so I decided to just sketch...

Avatar Celebration...

2007-09-21T15:36:00.000-07:00

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.

Pergh Character Redesign: Sang Kelembai

2007-09-20T07:53:00.000-07:00

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.

New Komik designs

2007-09-13T16:43:00.000-07:00

Some new character designs I did for a new comic I'm sending to Komikoo, an upcoming local Malaysia Komik Magazine. Of course, I'm still just pitching the story idea. Here's hoping it gets accepted.

Avatar Fun Kids! with Mary Jane

2007-08-19T16:06:00.001-07:00

Something I drew yesterday at Comiworld. It was supposed to be drawn for this cute little girl who wanted another Avatar art I did (which is a crossover of Avatar and Azumanga Daioh, but it's a commission, so it's not with me, but worry not, I asked the commissioner to e-mail me the art after she scans it) but she and her father never returned back to the booth after the event was nearing finish and I needed to go off. Alas...

Something I did on the first day of Comiworld past Saturday. This one isn't a commission or anything, I just had a lot of time in my hand and decided to pass it by doing something Adam Hughes inspired. I don't really like how her face turned out though, the eyes are too far apart and the head itself is too wide.

She's supposed to look like she's undressing and has Spider-Man's costume underneath but as a friend of mine mentioned, her pose looks more like he's hugging/holding a cat. Eh heh, my bad.

Chun Li and the Ultimates!

2007-08-14T08:13:00.001-07:00

Another entry to the Pergh's character re-design thing. This week, the character to re-design is Chun Li. Costume inspired from Dynasty Warriors game.

And this is just a doodle of Nick Fury, Captain America and Hawkeye from The Ultimates. My friend in the office added the dialogue Nick Fury said after I was done with it.

Green Lantern Design

2007-08-10T06:48:00.000-07:00

This is something I did for that Pergh Character Re-Design thing and this time, it's re-design Green Lantern, but to be more specific, it's more like, re-design an existing Lantern OR design your own for the Corps and I chose the latter. No idea who this girl is, but she lost her hand in a battle and had to replace it with a mechanical hand in which she imbedded the ring into it to give it the Lantern's power. That's all I have on her.

Edit: I just created this girl, she is NOT Boodikka... by "that's all I have on her" is that the concept of the mechanical armor is all I have come up with for her, not that I was given a description of her and just came up with a design.

Edit Edit: I forgot to mention that when I submitted this to the Pergh forum thingie, I gave her the name Parallinax... like a lame gender play to the name Parallax...

Skeletor!

2007-07-27T09:04:00.000-07:00

Just something I'm doing for a thread at a local community forum called Pergh. It's basically something like Project Rooftop, but it's more for the Malaysian art people.

The topic this week, Skeletor.

More Assassins

2007-07-19T09:12:00.000-07:00

Or, really, more Assassin's Creed. Heh.

Dazzler's creed

2007-07-18T08:17:00.001-07:00

For today, I did a bit of Dazzler and some Assassin's Creed fanart. Man, this game is awesome looking. It's absolutely beautiful and my reason to buy the XBox 360. The things that they showed in E3 about this game was nothing short of astounding. The effort that was put into this game... it makes it worth to get the 360 just for it! November! Must... scrimp... and... save...

Bat Villains

2007-07-17T07:17:00.001-07:00

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 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...

I'm trying out for a drawing a day thing, like some random sketches a day... this is two days so far... hopefully, this'll be a success.

Current works....

2007-07-16T08:48:00.000-07:00

Something I'm hoping to be doing for a future local magazine... of course, if the idea isn't rejected, that is...

I haven't been drawing for fun much lately... just been so busy with work stuff... so much so that I'm getting tired of drawing... but at the same time, I can't, I need to survive my life... This project I'm doing up here? I guess it's not so bad... I mean, it's still work, but it's still sort of my own stuff... the initial idea was given to me by a friend, but I've worked and re-worked it to make it so that I'd feel comfortable doing it...

I'm even having second thoughts about online comics... this is pretty damn bad...

DoodleBomb! Blogger style, First edition!!

2007-05-28T04:58:00.000-07:00

Some Superhero sketches I did at work

Some face studies I did...

Been X-ing a lot

2007-05-28T01:49:00.001-07:00

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)

Spider-Man 3

2007-05-01T11:16:00.000-07:00

And for my first post, inspired by the Spider-Man 3 movie I just saw.

It was a pretty cool movie, but I felt like the difference in awesomeness between Spider-Man 2 and 3 isn't that far off... not like the difference between Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, that one had a huge difference is awesomeness, but it was still a pretty damn good movie so I liked it. in fact, I loved it.
