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.
CLICK THE THUMBNAIL BELOW TO START READING THE LATEST CHAPTER!
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.
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.
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.
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.
