KEIJO!!!! KALWA

Originally a Lunchtime Sketch I posted on my facebook page, the original image was so cute I just had to color it. So here’s Kalwa in a training swimsuit for the sport of Keijo. Those unfamiliar with it, Keijo is a fictional sport featured in the anime series Hip Whip Girl Keijo!!!!

I’ve been watching the series on Crunchyroll streaming, it’s a scientific breakthrough of a show that combines a serious and intense sport like story with pure fan service. Seriously the entire series is basically learning combat with your rear end, and yet the show is still so intense. Plus it involves swimsuits and pool water, which I’m always a fan of. Makes me excited for summer to come again I can use the pool! Anyway, enjoy this lovely image of Kalwa ready to whip it on the field.

Kalwa and Senku

So this is a belated tribute/parody to the end of the Dr. Stone manga. After reading the final chapter and what Senku’s last creation would be, I just had to do a crossover with Kalwa. This image does kinda contain spoilers for the final Dr. Stone chapter, so if you haven’t read it I suggest you do so before proceeding.

I would’ve had this done sooner, but the manga ended on my moving day and then I had to set up the house which kept me busy for nearly two weeks.

New Artwork Returns

We are back everyone, the move is over and (nearly) everything is set up. Which means it’s back to work for me. New artwork is in bound and the future is bright up ahead. So here’s one that’s been on my burner for a while. So this is a colored adaptation of chapter 11’s ending where Kalwa gets up close with some baby dinosaurs. I’ve wanted to do a color version of this scene for a while, and I wanted to make it like a story book, hence the white here.

Great to be back everyone.

Chapter 25 COMPLETE AND UPDATES!

Hello everyone and happy last Monday of February, and today I’m NOT going to waste your time. Both pages for chapter 25 are complete and I don’t want to drag this out, so today I’m posting a DOUBLE page update and giving you the final two pages of Chapter 25 all at once today.

Now it’s time for some major updates. I’m MOVING, yes moving… to a new place. I’m finally getting my own apartment after all these years and this is a major change for me.

Without going into full details the years have really changed. When this comic had just started in 2014 I was just out of college, and working a part time job. Then I moved to a new state and got another part time job. Shortly after that, things went south. Getting steady pay was hard, we were still struggling to get this project up in the air, and then the pandemic. I got real depressed, and fell on real hard times, working on this comic series was the only thing I really enjoyed in life and I was struggling with the realities of being a struggling artist. Then last year I finally got a full time job, and over the course of time kinda recovered from the depressing time of my life. I’ve been working to improve my craft and have found pure joy in what what I do, better than I ever had before.

Family relations have gotten better and I’m SO MUCH happier than I was years ago, and now I’m finally getting out into the world ready to embark on my own journey and life.

So that being said, now I really WANT to do some serious work and more with Kalwa and the rest of Green Raptor Studios in my journey of life. We are going to publish the first volume, we are looking at summer, this time for real. I just need to update the fifth chapter, put some extras together and get some more goodies in there. All of that has been on my plans, but first I’ve had to pack up and get ready for the move. My primary concern was to finish chapter 25 before the move so I don’t leave anything hanging before I have to unload and move into the new house.

I’m also planning to get back on webtoons. The current Kalwa comic I don’t think will work well on Webtoons, but I have a gag comic called Kid Kalwa planned to go. More on that later. For the next few weeks, I’ll mostly be busy setting up the new house. However I will still be putting out artwork along with sketches and some behind the scenes work. I’ll do my best to keep everyone updated on when you can expect the next chapter and what’s coming out. So that’s what I just wanted to get out as well as thank everyone who follows this site and gives support. It all goes a long way and really shows me and my co-writer that our work is appreciated. My feeling is much like Kalwa’s smiling face down below.

So all that done, click the thumb down below and enjoy the remainder of chapter 25.

Hideyoshi and Karou Character Art

I finally decided to give Hideyoshi and Karou their colored character artwork so you can see what they look like in color. The two did appear in a group shot at the end of chapter 23, course they were in the background. Karou also finally gets a pattern added to her kimono, which I intended to have in her debut, but I kinda… FORGOT. Anyway, here’s their official character artwork in full color.

Date with Kalwa!

Happy Valentine’s Day everybody. I know I didn’t do a Sunday Sketch yesterday, I got busy wrapping up drawings, packing my stuff up for a move, and I figured it being the Superbowl… Well this should make up for it, with this special Valentine’s picture. Kalwa’s asking you out on a date, would you accept her offer? What kind of date would you take her on? Any ideas feel free to comment down below and share it with all. Once again, happy Valentine’s Day!!!

Chapter 25 Page 17

A new page is up and this page officially dives into Hideyoshi’s past. This is really one worth checking out.

Also we are making some changes to the website. New pages will be published on Monday and Wednesday’s unless otherwise noted in advance, also we might sneak out a third page every so often. This schedule will take a slight break in early March as I’ll be moving to a new apartment at that time and will need a little time to set up, I’ll give notice on that when we get to it.

In the meantime, check out the new page we got going today by clicking the thumb below.
