Happy, Black Friday everyone, if you consider that a holiday. Hope your not lost out there in the storm of shopping. For those who choose to stay home, here’s a brand new page to chapter 28 for your free viewing pleasure. As usual, click the thumbnail to view the latest page.
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.
There’s a brand new Haunted Mansion movie starting next week and as a longtime fan of the attraction’s mythos, I’m so excited. So here’s a little crossover of Kalwa and Zack having a first hand encounter with the mansion’s darkest and most sinister character, Constance Hatchaway, the murderous bride who loves weddings and killing the groom. Hope they don’t lose their heads.
Just a little update on what’s going on lately with publication. So after chapter 27 finished up, things got a little off track with a little vacation time to my states comic con, plus doing some stuff on the Green Raptor side. Now in other news I’m set to make my convention debut at Tuscan Comic Coni this September and I’m bringing both Kalwa and Amber along. Both characters will have their first volumes in hard copy form.
Kalwa Vol 1 will consist of the first four chapters and some exclusive art and handouts for anyone attending the con. I’ll be looking to sell books on the Etsy shop and even some e-books upon getting back. For now here’s some screenshots of the indesign files as the book is being laid out.
As for chapter 28, it’s in the writing, I’ve just fallen a bit behind. The con is gonna be top priority having to get everything ready and printed before then, but I’ll work on it as best I can. Hopefully I can get it finished and sent to my co-writer and he can look it over while I’m in Tuscan.
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.
Just another pinup of Kalwa with her dojo buddies Izuha and Suzume showing off their weapon skills. I just love drawing these three student buddies.
Had this finished for a while but haven’t uploaded till now. So this is kinda an illustration/ teaser for an upcoming arch. Following the conclusion of the Japanese arch, which will be the next chapter, we’ll be embarking a new dangerous adventure where they attempt to find an ancient relic for their new benefactors. Problem is it’s located at the bottom of the ocean in the prehistoric times, and they’ll be coming face to face with a Megalodon Shark. More updates coming as we get closer to the arch.
We are closing in on the end of May, which means another Mer-May is coming to a close, Those who follow my Green Raptor site or other locations on the internet know that I’m a major mermaid artist and tend to do some major mermaid work on this month. So here’s the last piece this month which features Kalwa, Izuha and Suzume posing as mermaids on a rock for anyone willing to wander by. Don’t crash if you encounter them.
A little crossover I’ve put off for a long time of Kalwa and Chizuru from Rent-A-Girlfriend. Mostly this was play on Kalwa’s attitude to pretty dresses. While I have drawn Kalwa in dresses before for Christmas, New Year and a few more, these are mostly for fan service purposes only. Within canon of the story Kalwa hates dresses and dislikes wearing any cute ones, hence why she doesn’t wear them in the comic.
