Amber HEadshot

After a long absence, Amber has finally returned this time with her first head headshot which I should note I haven’t done before. Took me a little while to draw her as I’m a bit rusty, having not drawn her in a while.

Kohaku

| Peter Ahola

Those who know me should know I love Kohaku from Dr. Stone. Aside from being a warrior, she’s also just so darn cute and pretty. So once again I just wanted to draw her after spending a certain amount of time in my sketchbook at lunch perfecting her. Her eyes in particular have gotten real fun to draw!

Jinx and She-Ra

A couple of recent fan arts for two characters that have really been on my mind as of recently. Jinx from League of Legends, who has really come to mind thanks to the Arcane Netflix series, note that this is supposed to be her in game outfit rather than what she wears in Arcane.

We also have She-Ra from the Netfilx tv series. I’ve actually been practicing with her in my sketchbook, so I had a real idea of how I wanted her to look. As Adora is a teenager in the series I wanted She-Ra to look more like a mature teen. Anyway, hope you enjoy.

Kalwa Christmas Dress

| Peter Ahola

Merry Christmas Eve everyone, and allow me to present this year’s Kalwa’s Christmas illustration. So yes, this year I was watching a lot of commercials with singing and red in them, which inspired me to draw Kalwa in a red dress singing from her heart. Hope you all have happy holidays!

Miser Brothers

Just for Christmas, the Miser Brothers from A Year Without a Santa Clause. This is kinda a small little experiment I’ve started of making stop motion puppets into real organic looking manga styled characters. I did a similar project earlier with Bitch Puddin’ from Robot Chicken. These two I’ve actually been experimenting in the sketchbook with, trying to translate their parts to manga style, so here’s the result of several experiments just in time for Christmas.

Wedding Dress Kohaku

| Peter Ahola

This is kinda an updated remake of a piece I did exactly one year ago today. So personally, Kohaku is my anime sweetheart, she’s so cute and at same time a warrior girl whose good with blades. So last year while sleeping I had a dream where Kohaku was wearing a wedding dress. Immediately I had to draw her, but over time I feel the original drawing wasn’t as good as I could’ve done. I’ve actually recently started practicing drawing familiar anime characters in their original art styles. One to get rid of the butterflies in my stomach when I draw them and two, to learn new techniques to better my own style. So here’s a full body remake of Kohaku wearing the dress, using some of the new techniques I’ve learned from practice. Finally got her eyes right, after learning to let go.

Batman 1989 Scarecrow

| Peter Ahola

Another late upload from October, and this is another fan design similar to the Headless Horseman I uploaded before. So those who know me personally know that the 1989 Batman film is my favorite Superhero movie, for that matter it’s really a fandom in itself rather than being affiliated with my fandom with Batman.

Well, I should also note that the Scarecrow is my favorite Batman villain as well as my favorite DC villain. I’ve got somewhat of an obsession with with the character, I love his concept and design (usually). So this idea came to mind after I got a wired cape for my SH Figurearts Batman figure earlier this year, thus making it the 1989 figure I always wanted. In my excitement my imagination started to soar especially after learning about the new 89 comic book which brings classic villains into the Tim Burton universe of Batman. So, I came up with the idea to come up with design for the Scarecrow.

He actually came out much different than what I had originally envisioned, as I had intended to mostly stick with the classic design with some straw hair. But I tried out some concepts such as a trench coat and a kinda torn cape which was inspired by Tim Sale’s design of the character. When designing him, I wanted to make something that fit Tim Burton’s signature style, something that could be seen as scary but at the same time quirky. The red’s were actually inspired by the animated series action figure of the character, which was the very thing that made me such a fan of the character. A number of the other aspects came from other drawings of the character such as his design in the one shot issue, Mistress of Fear.
