Creating Kalwa pages are back after a lengthy absence. I admit that I kinda stopped writing these due to the somewhat lengthy detail involved in them. But I’m getting back to them and today we got a story based on Kalwa’s little brother/ field partner Zack. This page we go over his development from the beginning of production, thoughts and how he’s developed today. Click the thumbnail below to read the full article.
Brand new page of Chapter 28, wrapping up another part of this arch. Now we got nothing left but Hideyoshi and Kalwa’s side of the story.
I’m SO SORRY for the lengthy delay in pages. At first I was holding off till I could get more finished in order to keep the cache healthy. I was aiming to for an updated over this past weekend, but I on Sunday I had to rush out the door in the morning for the day job, and then that day I felt REALLY CRAPPY, as in kinda sick and out of it. So I went to bed as soon as I got home that day and slept for ten hours off and on again. The next two days I started to improve, but still didn’t feel much like drawing or sitting at my computer. I couldn’t even get myself to work in the sketchbook at lunch even when I had the time. So everything got delayed and I’m quite upset about it.
To make up for loss time, today I’m giving you a DOUBLE page update with both pages 6 and 7 today. As usual, click the thumbnail below to read the latest pages!
Happy Halloween everyone, the best time of the year!!!
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.
Crossover with Luz Noceda from the Owl House, she’s trying to teach Kalwa about using glyphs to use magic. I’ve been wanting to do a Luz and Kalwa crossover for a while now, since the Owl House is a major inspiration to me. Seeing the show, learning about it’s creator really kinda pushed me into high gear, not to mention really helped put me on the map. Also Luz reminded me so much of Kalwa as both characters wish to escape their dull lives in pursuit of thrills and adventure.
And before anyone gets any ideas, Kalwa is a SCI-FI manga, I’ve made it a major point to not have any magic involved in the story, everything in the story is explained through logic. Even the time traveling phone will eventually be given an explanation which we have been working towards. Yes it does fall a bit in the realm of fantasy, but it’s like the manga Death Note where it just needs a small dap of fantasy to make the story work.
So I know it has been quiet around here lately. The reason is that I’ll be debuting the FIRST Kalwa books, and Amber, at Tuscan Comic Con this September and I’ve spent the last two months prepping stuff. Everything for the convention has been sent to the printers and I’m waiting for the final details on placement. Plus my day job has been a bit busy, especially with deliveries in the hot heat that Arizona has been having (if you lived here you’d know what I mean) has left me drained. So everything has kinda been on hold. We are now finally ready to resume work, and chapter 28 is being written. I’m working to have it written and roughed before the convention, I’ll give more details on that in the near future.
For now, here’s a new summer drawing of Kalwa doing some modeling. Hot as it is, I’ve still been trying to enjoy the summer vibes, hard as it is. This was originally a lunchtime sketch that I decided to color. Hope you enjoy it and have a good summer, what’s left of it anyway.
Little bit late on this but here’s our annual summer illustration. This year Kalwa’s joined by Amber the Mermaid, the other Green Raptor comic star. Hope you’re all enjoying the first bits of summer this year.
For the first time since this site went up, we’re actually doing something for Pride Month with a new illustration centered around Kalwa (and Green Raptor’s) first LGBT character Bridgette, who made her debut in the Western Arch starting in chapter 4. Bridgette wasn’t initially written as gay, but as her backstory with Rachel started getting written it just felt right, it also felt kinda unique at the time the story was written as the LGBT community was starting to see recognition within fiction long before the Owl House came out. There will be a second western arch later in the story where her feelings and history with Rachel will play a bit more of a role in the plot. Happy Pride Month everyone.
