Chapter 28 Page 4

| Peter Ahola

I’m sorry for the lack of updates last week. I did want to add another page last week, but I fell behind a bit and the cache would’ve run out of pages too fast. As a little warning to everyone THIS IS the holiday season and my day job can get pretty stressful this time of the year. As such, there may be a few behind schedule moments where I’m just tired and can’t work on pages. I’ll do my very best to keep up as I love working on this series, but it just may happen. And I also CAN’T let our cache run out otherwise it could really grind everything to a halt. So the update schedule might fluctuate for the rest of the year depending on what happens.

Anyway, here’s today’s newest page for chapter 28. Click the thumbnail below to see more.

Today is the official day everyone. We’ve had a long break due to con prep and other project, but finally today Kalwa has a NEW chapter starting up. Chapter 28 is officially launching, the final chapter in the current story arch. Today we’re kicking off with THREE pages of this chapter. We got some more done as well, and will upload them in a timely fashion.

Update on chapter 28

| Peter Ahola

So I’m giving an update on chapter 28. I know it’s been a long time and I kinda feel bad it’s taken so long, but I was occupied with convention and print stuff and then being October. My top priority this month was to finish the annual Halloween Draw Off. Now that’s that all done (save for two last uploads), I’m getting more serious about the upcoming chapter. The script is done and the whole chapter has been roughed, so now it’s just finalizing the drawings.

Chapter 28 will start in November after I’ve finished a certain number of pages, this way I can have a cache for consistent uploads even if things get busy in my life. To show you all I mean this in good faith, here’s some pencils of some of the first pages. I’ll make another announcement once we are ready to upload.

ZOMBIE TRIO

| Peter Ahola

First post in quite a while. I’ve kinda been busy on the Green Raptor site tending to the annual Halloween draw off. And speaking of which, here’s this years Halloween piece for Kalwa, with our three protagonists being ZOMBIEFIED. I think last year I drew a few head shots of the characters, though these blank eye designs were inspired by the zombies from Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island as I thought they were scarier.

On another note, the draw off is done and chapter 28 has been roughed out. Now that the draw off is finished I’m free to start working on the final art for chapter 28, I’ll give an update when we’re getting ready to roll it out.

Tuscon Comic Con 2023

| Peter Ahola

Pictures from last week’s comic con in Tuscon Arizona, our first con with published books. I haven’t attended a con in so long, and my first experience was EXHAUSTING. I was pretty much on my toes for nine hours which you would think wouldn’t be so bad given my day job, but interacting with the cosplayers and potential customers left me drained, call it a first experience.

That aside, the convention was a great success, in the end we sold four Kalwa books and six Amber books (there was also a sale off con just yesterday). Also got in contact with several other on tips for future cons. I’m gonna try to find a cheaper printer for the books so we can hopefully sell them at a cheaper price, hopefully even get a ten chapter Kalwa graphic novel like I originally wanted.

I’ll start posting products to my Etsy store soon after some personal life stuff. We’re a bit short on books at the moment though I do have a very small number as of now. If interested, send a message to our contact page and I can sell you a copy.

Kalwa and Amber Books

| Peter Ahola

They are finally here! Kalwa and Amber vol 1 are now officially published in paper back. These books will be sold at Tuscon Comic Con this weekend at the Green Raptor Table. I’ll look to selling them on the etsy shop too, but they will make their debut at the con.

Both of these are manga sized books done on lovely high quality, gloss paper. None of that novel like cheap stuff seen on other manga. Kalwa vol 1 contains the first four chapters of the story along with a small art gallery, which includes a special guest art by KGFantasy and an exclusive art that I haven’t posted to the website yet. It also includes and introduction and some behind the scenes work including old sketches and backstory on the original concept when it was first created back in my High School years. The book will cost $30

Amber will contain the entire first story seen on our other website Green Raptor Studios, it will feature two illustrations in it’s art gallery and small essay on the character’s creation. The book will cost $20.

In addition BOTH books contain new dialogue and updates to the artwork NOT seen on the websites. As is tradition in manga, what you see on the website is the first version, kinda like manga in a magazine and the published book is the final work. We will also have a couple of fun goodies and freebies at the table this weekend. So if you are in the Tuscon area this weekend, swing on by, I’d love

Kalwa and Kohaku

| Peter Ahola

Crossover between Kalwa and Kohaku from Dr. Stone. This is the second crossover between the two. This originally a lunchtime sketch I did on break at the day job, but I decided to color it one day when I was short on inspiration. I’m seriously finding the name “Kalwa and Kohaku” having a good ring to it.
