Kalwa Christmas Pin Up
Merry Christmas from Green Raptor Studios, hope you all have a good day and truly make it nice and jolly. Also enjoy this fun artwork of Kalwa and the crew just for today…
Cthulu Rises
Artwork of HP Lovecraft’s most famous creature, the ancient god of the old world Cthulu. This had been in my sketchbook since I drew HP Lovecraft himself (posted earlier this month), but I felt the sketch needed some work before becoming a full on drawing, so it took a little while longer to do. I actually just read the Call of Cthulu book a few weeks ago and really enjoyed the story and Lovecraft’s writing style, which helped with the drive needed to finish this.
I kinda wanted to go for the whole monster in the mist feeling, keeping giant Cthulu mostly in shadow against the bad storm, giving off the perspective of what those sailors on board are seeing. A giant mysterious creature that only spells their impending doom.
Anyway, hope you all like my lastest “masterpiece.”
Kohaku Date Night
Just a fun drawing of my animation crush Kohaku from Dr. Stone. I just can’t help but keep drawing her, she’s just so cute, adorable and real deva. I seriously hope to one day meet my “real life” Kohaku, someone as pretty and awesome as she is that will make me the happiest man in the world.
She’s actually drawn here on my real life porch, so there’s a bit of self insertion right here I might add. Hope everyone likes it.
Happy Halloween
Happy Halloween everyone, another year has come for treats, scares and fun. So as many of you should know, over here at Green Raptor Studios we LOVE Halloween. Every year we sharpen our pencils (digital pad really) and draw as many monster, horror and other fun stuff as we can. And of course there is always the finale, which in recent years is Kalwa related. This year we are bringing in a number of faces that we have met recently, mainly Kalwa’s dojo friends Izuha and Suzume. Kalwa’s already appeared in this outfit before as the Witch of Time, but now you get to see her friends join her for the witching hour, and of course the boys get to play the minions. HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL, and join us next year for more Halloween fun.
Owl House Art
So one last hoorah before we finish up with our Halloween draw off (this isn’t related). So this month I discovered Disney’s the Owl House, mostly in anticipation for the 1st of final episode specials. Well I fell in love with the show, and even watched the whole series TWICE in one month. The show’s story, the characters and even reading up on creator Dana Terrace’s history in making it kinda gave a major boost in creative energy and drive to make my own projects a reality, starting of course with Kalwa’s official publishing. More on that later.
Anyway, one little joy I have with making art like this is being able to take stylized cartoon characters and adding my own style and twist on them. I’ve kinda done a similar thing in the past with characters like Izzy from Total Drama and Ariel from little mermaid. So anyway, of course Luz the main character of the show was the focus and this month I cranked out THREE drawings of her this month in my own style. And I realized that none were posted to this site, so enjoy this owl house super package of all that’s come out this month. And I’ll probably be doing more in the future given how head over heals in love I am with this show.
YET EVEN MORE HALLOWEEN 2022
Round three of our all Halloween Draw off is up everyone. This round we are bringing you the delayed Xenomorph, aka Alien, Jason Voorhees, and to add a little lightness, Dipper and Mabel Pines from Gravity Falls. This is our final round for this year’s draw off and the last of fanart. Next week on Halloween Day we will be uploading our finale for this year, so stay tuned for that. Meanwhile, I hope everyone enjoyed all we had to give this year!
AMber Marilyin Monroe
It’s time for the second Halloween dress up, following Kalwa’s dress up as Kohaku. Amber’s dressed this Halloween as Marilyn Monroe in her famous vent dress scene. Originally I was gonna dress her as Ariel, but figured the two looked too similar to make a special dress up moment. So I figured this costume would work better, especially given the chance to show off the tail. More Halloween fun is on the way, all month long!!!!
More Halloween 2022
More Halloween fun is upon us all, for all month long I’ll be drawing monsters, dark stuff and Halloween related stuff. Up next on this parade of terror, the Gill Man (aka Creature from the Black Lagoon) and returning favorite the Crypt Keeper from Tales from the Crypt. The Gill-Man I did some little re-designs for in order to update the look of the character. The Crypt Keeper was drawn during my first Halloween under the name Green Raptor Studios, I’ve since wanted to revisit the character and do and update from what I’ve learned since then. More Halloween fun is on the way, so stick around!!!!
