Fan art

| Peter Ahola

I’m here today to share some fan art I’ve received involving Kalwa. I’m always so flattered when I see someone drawing my characters as it shows there are people out there who really appreciate all the hard work me and my co-writer do each and every chapter.

Just yesterday I received a fan art via facebook from Cat Country Studios, which involved Kalwa crossed over with his own character Riley. The instant sight sent my hear a flutter, Cat Country Studio has been a major supporter this year on facebook and I myself enjoy their artwork. So I’m sharing the art right here on my site to help give them some better exposure. I’ve also got a fan art down below I received I think two years ago from another friend on facebook. It was a more personal account, so I don’t want to just blab it, but I still really love it a lot.

THIS WEEK UPDATE!

| Peter Ahola

Just giving everyone an update about what’s happening this week. Since it’s Christmas week, page updates will NOT be going up this week, I will however be working on more pages behind the scenes and start uploading those next week.

So for the remainder of this week, I’ll be uploading a few other items. I’ll look into uploading some more sketches from the sketchbooks, whether it’ll be another lunchtime sketch grouping or just some stuff from the past, I don’t know. So look for that.

But finally the big thing. On Christmas Eve I’ll be posting the Christmas picture for the year. I’m sorry to say but the first one I initially previewed got deleted by accident, because I didn’t clear my desktop properly. So I had to start over and I was working all day yesterday on the image. The original image was supposed to be a group image with Kalwa singing in a red dress while Reko was playing the piano and Zack was holding the musical sheets, but after it was deleted, I decided to just make it a solo on Kalwa. I’ll look to do something with the group for New Years.

Right here is a small WIP preview of the finished piece to give you an idea of what’s coming up, and check back on Christmas Eve for the finished product right here. And once again, thank you everyone for you’re support this year, I really appreciate everyone who visits the site.

Christmas Illustration Preview

Chapter 25 Page 7

| Peter Ahola

I’m so sorry everyone if page updates have been late. I’ve been busy mostly this month dealing with holiday preparations, I also took a trip to Texas to support family and my whole schedule has kinda been thrown off because of all that’s going on. Luckily it’s all finished and I can get back to real life. So here we are with page 7 of chapter 25 up and ready for viewing. Page updates may be a little slow for the remainder of the year due to the holidays and heavy times at work as well as me needing a small cool down. However I will continue updating when I can and we should pick up a bit more at the beginning of 2022.

In the meantime, click the thumb below and see our latest page.

Jacob And waylons Sketches

| Peter Ahola

Going way back to some pics that were never shared at the time. So these are the first sketches of Jacob and Waylons who debuted in the Western Arch. Waylons mostly remained the same to the final design, with the only exception being details to the coat. While I did do the drawing, it was mostly my co-writer who developed Waylons, he had a very specific idea of how he would look and even came up with his whole backstory.

Jacob comes with a backstory of his own. My initial idea with Jacob was to have him look like a polite little boy, as he was meant to be Waylon’s little helper. His initial design can be seen on the right of his sketches. However I totally crazy design I came up with was Jacob wearing a coat and boots that were far too big for him. The idea behind this design is that Jacob admires Waylons and seeks to become like him. As such he wears these overly large boots and coat in hopes to grow into them one day. So if you ever wondered as to why his clothes were too big, that’s why.

New Page coming Tomorrow!

| Peter Ahola

As I mentioned last week, I was away from my workspace last week and so there would be slight pause on new pages. Thankfully, that pause has come to an end. Page 6 of chapter 25 will be coming out tomorrow, so be on the lookout for an update. Meanwhile, here’s a little WIP preview of whats to come. Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays!

Lunch Time sketch Roundup

| Peter Ahola

So I mentioned this on the official Kalwa facebook page, I started bringing my sketchbook to my day job, mainly for lunchtime. I have a tendency to eat my lunch super fast and then I have the remainder of an hour to sit around and do nothing. Since it’s pretty hard for me to use the sketchbook at home after a full day of working on the regular artwork, I decided to bring it and use the sit down time to work on some art. These sketches range from just plain practice (like the action scenes) to concept which is also practice for future chapters (such as the ponytail Kalwa) to some style experimentation (such as the realistic sketch below).

All these sketches get uploaded via photo shoot on the facebook page as they are finished. They will be uploaded here to this website in edited format once I get enough of them. So enjoy the show here, and if you want to check out the facebook page, the link is always in the sidebar on this website.

Chapter 25 Page 3

Happy… uh… Black Friday. Do we consider this a holiday or a day of pure insanity, who knows. Well in case you had a bad day, just tired or not really doing much. We got a brand new page for chapter 25 out today, and it’s a night scene which are always fun to do with the playing of light and dramatic shading. Also I finally fixed the menu issue I was complaining about with the last update, it’s really just a matter of doing my old methods in a different way. Gonna take some time to get use to it, but I’ll manage. As usual, click the link below and see the latest page.
