We are officially one week out from Christmas, so it’s time to debut this years Christmas picture. Kalwa’s encouraging all of you to share a Coke with your pals. If for no other reason to not do the old singing thing.

Also as an update, Chapter 31 has been written and sent to me editor. I’m gonna start pencilling it today. The holidays are kinda busy for me personally between my day job and spending time with the family, so the next chapter will be one of the first projects for next year. In the meantime, enjoy your holidays everyone!

This is a remake of an old artwork of Victor. The original art piece was done back in 2021, and recently I reposted it to the Kalwa Facebook page and felt it needed a remake. The original was done back when I was still practicing with shading styles, and Victor’s body looked a tad too lean.

The newer image is on the left down below and the original version is to the right.

Quick drawing of Kalwa loving the waterfall feeling. I just got the random idea to draw her like this yesterday before we transition over to fall… then I can draw her in Halloween outfits.

Hello everyone, I’m just giving a little update on what to expect since things have been a little quiet since finishing up chapter 30. So I’ve been deliberately taking the month of June off from Kalwa. The fact is the next chapter will be the start of a brand new story arch. For a little note, this next arch will be returning to the pirate era that was first introduced in chapter 12.

Yes it will be our first “kinda” sequel arch featuring old and new characters. As such doing a longer arch like this requires a bit more planning, ideas like how to start the arch, keep if flowing and how many parts to make it. When doing something like this I’ll type up a synopsis and send it to my editor for review and updates. This next arch has gotten me a tad nervous on how to do it, so I’ve been breaking for the month of June to work on another comic title that I’ve been wanting to do for a while. For more on that comic, check look at the latest post over at the Green Raptor Site.

So I’m just giving you all a heads up that I will start writing that next month. I just wanted to rest my brain this month and work on other work. Meanwhile, I’m also sharing some production work from the most recent story arch. These were posted to the Kalwa facebook page, but never hear. One of the biggest designs was the new outfits for Kalwa and Zack. You can see in these sketches that Kalwa had different pants, and is lacking the leggings seen in the final design.

Generally put, I kinda wanted to show a bit more skin on both designs, especially since going forward Kalwa and Zack will be having more action scenes with the training they got in Japan. The leggings Kalwa would later sport were actually inspired by Luz Noceda from the Owl House. I hadn’t really seen leggings that much on characters and really wanted to incorporate it into my own. I honestly think it was a good choice considering it’s better at hiding Kalwa’s leg scars.
