Bye Bye Blogspot

I won't be updating this blog anymore.
My thoughts will be drawn instead and they'll be updated in my sketchbook: http://mohammadyazid.tumblr.com

See you!

Boys Don't Cry

Ink on paper.

Another sketchbook entry similar to the Sonic Death drawing. Below is a picture of Adam - the guy behind PeaceBeUponYou apparel - holding the laminated Sonic Death sketch.

Bangsar Car Wash

Managed to sketch a few pieces while waiting for my car at the wash near my office in Bangsar. 

Colours were added later in Photoshop.

 

 

KFCM Always Wins

Growing up, I was never into football, not by a slim chance.

Recently however, the performance of the Malaysian football team has been getting a lot of buzz so I decided to follow the AFF Suzuki Cup match.

Since then, I have been a fan of the local team - particularly the main man Khairul Fahmi Che Mat.

The guy catches balls effortlessly... Err.. That did NOT come out right but yeah he made it look easy!

So this is my tribute to the Captain :D

The M.A.D Project - Make A Difference!

This week I have been blessed to have met 2 noble souls from Europe - Kamal and Nija. Together, they initiated a project called M.A.D (Make A Difference) which aims to rectify the stereotypical outlook on Islam in the eye of the Western world.

In hopes to change society through education, they both left their day jobs, set out to Muslim populated countries to document their findings, and bring it back to their homeland.

I was deeply moved by their intention and it inspired me to help them out in what I do best.  

Here is hoping that they return safely from their next trip to Egypt because I can't wait to collaborate with them in the future!

Check out their website: The M.A.D Project or follow them on Facebook!

Rathalos Ruby

Silver Rathalos with a shiny drop! Could it be a ruby?!

Eid al-Adha

I call upon people of the Book to set aside our differences through respect and remind ourselves of our Abrahamic roots. Happy Eid al-Adha.

Mist

It has been a week of perpetual rain.

My friends and I decided to swing by Selangor Mansion to have a taste of the popular Roti Canai Special at one of the stalls there. It was almost midnight when the rain finally gave chance to sheltering pedestrians - and then I saw the top half of the Petronas twin towers covered in mist.

I felt like I was living in a Bladerunner world.

Something In The Works

Jinouga Sketch

A somewhat inferior Monster Hunter fan art compared to my previous two, here’s Jinouga doing the Capoeira jump. Yeah I screwed it, I think.

Amatsumagatsuchi Sketch

My favourite elder dragon in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd: Amatsumagatsuchi! I’m always in awe whenever I confront it. Amatsu evokes the impression of grace and mystical majesty. Faux traditional brush stroke approach feels just right for it.

Alatreon Sketch

When you do art full time there will come a time when you’ll forget how to have fun (that got you into it in the first place). Since I always complain about exhaustion after work hindering me from producing fan art, I’ve decided to do it BEFORE I start work - what else would I draw? Monster Hunter of course!

Alatreon Helmet

I’ve been asked on Xlink Kai about what’s on my avatar. I guess when it’s shrunk to 50 x 50 pixels there’s only so much you can see. It’s actually the Alatreon / アルバトリオン helmet for male blademaster’s gear.

I thought of sharing the lineart and coloured version here:

Yeah, I named my character Chivalry so when I die, well.. Chivalry is dead.

R.I.P Graphire4 (2004-2011)

You have endured infinite battle damages beyond durability and you will always be remembered. We did so much kicking ass while it lasted. What kept this warrior together was the 3M adhesive tape. As you can see,the rubber grip is long gone nowhere to be found, and so was the double click button:

Now the new wife :)

OMG EVERYTHING IS SO SMOOTH AND SEXXXY WE GON HAF FUN TIMEZ 2GETHURRRRRR HUR HUR HURRRR INTO US, INTUOS 4!

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd: Weapon Usage!

Today, I have finally balanced each of my weapon usage in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd to 101! (That means a total of 1212 quests and over 600 hours of gameplay)
