Kalwa Chapter 31 Pages 16-19

Another update to Kalwa chapter 31, this week we’re doing four pages because they required a lot of details. Next batch will feature more pages I promise.

Anyway, we’re doing a bit of Finland culture this chapter, with the famous Helsinki Festival. It’s a real life festival held in Finland around the start of summer and we’re spreading some word on it. First page is down below, click it to see the rest of the pages on the Kalwa website.

Double Kohaku

It’s a double dose of Kohaku from Dr. Stone. We got the final original idea I had for the Kohaku POV series and another mermaid Kohaku. This Kohaku POV piece has been on my back burner for so long, but I finally decided to get it done with the final part of the Dr. Stone anime starting up.

Honestly, it’s now hitting me that we are on the final lap of Dr. Stone episodes and it’s making me really sad. Drawing Kohaku and other Dr. Stone characters has essentially been a labor of love on my end. Every time I walk around Fan Fusion here in AZ, I see thousands of drawings based off Dragon Ball, Attack on Titan, Dandadan is getting up there, but BARELY anything on Dr. Stone (in fact none at all). So Dr. Stone has always been my personal little quest while the rest of the world looks elsewhere. In fact while everyone was gushing over the final episodes of AOT, I was falling in love with Dr. Stone season 1.

That being said, I’ve noticed that Dr. Stone art has shot up in popularity when new episodes are on. Something that’s about to end. Most likely I’ll do more Dr. Stone art in the future, but I don’t know how many people will care then. It may just be me picking at rock because I want to. That’s kinda the struggle of being me as an artist. Other draw what the world wants, I draw what I want.

Kalwa Chapter 31 Pages 10-15

We got another update today over on our sister website with FIVE new pages for Kalwa chapter 31. Here we finally debut Toshiro and Miki’s modern outfits which they’ll be wearing for the remainder of the series. The first two pages are down below, click either one of them to be taken directly to chapter page.

Tsukasa and Hyoga

We are now within single digits of the start of the final round of episodes for Dr. Stone. So to celebrate here’s a new piece of some Dr. Stone characters I’ve never drawn before, Tsukasa and Hyoga. These two aren’t exactly my all time favorites of the show given their original status as villains and I haven’t full warmed up to them, mainly Hyoga, but they do do make some cool characters for action shots.

Should also mention that I’ve got an awkward perspective of Tsukasa considering his last name is Shishio, which forces me to kinda compare him to the OTHER Shishio I know and love. You all should probably know which one I’m talking about.

Sam with Butter Sock

Sam Puckett from iCarly with her famous Butter Sock. I’ve been watching iCarly on Paramount+ recently studying Jeanette McCurdy’s career as an actress. Sam is easily the best character on the show and Jeanette was so talented. It surprises that an actress so talented could have so much baggage in life.

Anyway, this particular image was inspired by a shot from the Boondocks intro in which the grandad pulls off his belt and wields it like a whip. I thought such a scene would also work for Sam and her sock.

Kalwa Hotsprings

This was originally posted onto the Kalwa website a few weeks ago. As is the case with Kalwa art, it goes on that website first. Well now we’re posting it here at last. So this is a hotspring picture featuring Kalwa and her friends from the Sato family dojo (seen in the Japanese story arch of our story in chapters 23-28). When you’re short on inspiration, nothing works better than some fan service.

Dr Stone Art

Dr. Stone’s big finale is starting next month, and I’m getting all hyped up. So here’s a few Dr. Stone based pieces I completed recently, Time Skip Suika and POV shot of Senku reviving someone. Also as a bonus, Venomized Kohaku which I actually forgot to upload last month when it was original finished.
