KALWA CHAPTER 28 DOUBLE PAGE UPDATE!

Today is a DOUBLE page update for Kalwa Chapter 28. I simply didn’t think posting just ONE page would really be good for a post since this is an intense battle and I didn’t want to just pad it out. So here’s TWO new pages for the latest chapter over on the Kalwa website.

Bane

Bane has kinda been stuck on my brain as of late, I wound up drawing a sketch of him during lunch while at the day job and wound up wanting to draw a full piece of him. Kinda added a little more “atmosphere” than initially intended with the whole venom gimmick he has. Kinda almost feel he looks like he’s from the Swam Thing TV show from a few years ago.

On the last page of Kalwa chapter 28, we saw the central tower at the Saito Dojo collapse under the flames. Now see what it’s like for the people inside!

Santa Kohaku

Sorry my Christmas art has kinda been a little late this year, I was really caught up working on some artwork for Christmas which I can’t quite post right now. Well, here’s Kohaku from Dr. Stone playing the role of sexy Santa, and she’s got a present for you.

Happy Birthday Dana Terrace!

I honestly have no idea if she’ll ever see this but I wanted to to put out a major shout out wishing a happy birthday to Dana Terrace, animator on Gravity Falls but best known as the creator of the Owl House.

Those who follow my work know I do a lot of Owl House artwork, I first discovered the show back in October of last year and since then my history with it has opened some major flood gates. Upon discovering the show, I was truly astonished by what I saw with show’s unique writing. Luz herself even reminded me so much of Kalwa, with her desire for adventure and wish to escape her current life. The Owl House was a full on crafted story that really gave me a much need kick in the boot as I saw epic story telling was possible.

But it wasn’t just the show itself that really inspired me, but Dana’s backstory. Reading up on her bio, I could tell that Dana had a similar love for cartoons and storytelling that I do and he long journey through life to make her ambitions into a reality. Going from show to show until she could finally make one of her own the way she wanted. More ironically her birthday is just five days before my own in the same month of Decemeber and she’s actually one year younger than me.

As such I have both an admiration and desire to work my to her level, and make my own ideas into a reality. And whenever I feel down or lost, I look back on her backstory as a way to pick myself up. Once again happy birthday Dana.

IDW Grimlock

Another Grimlock coming at you for the year. This is based off the characters design from the 2005 IDW Transformer comics, which is actually my favorite Grimlock design. While IDW’s 2005 series has some rather “questionable” quality in writing, Grimlock’s story is a new take on the character. This version of the character is a actually an Autobot war criminal, whose team of “Dynobots” have committed a number of war crimes that violate Autobot law as they feel they are only Autobots capbable of doing “what needs to be done” to win the war.

Grimlock himself is even put at odds with his own team when he sets off a trap against Shockwave that buries his own team. Despite his rather cruel tatics, Grimlock cares very much for his team even when he considers abandoning them. He even turns himself over for his crimes and agrees to take the full blame for the teams’ actions in exchange for his teammates freedom!

Shockwave

I’m continuing my study of mechs with more Transformer drawings, and now it’s on to my second favorite Transformer, Shockwave. For that matter Shockwave also ranks with my top five favorite fictional villains of all time. The portrayal of the character is practically exclusive between media. Within cartoons Shockwave is presented as a loyal follower of Megatron and the Decepticons, while the comic version of the character is a treacherous, amoral scientist driven only by a cold sense of logic. This means Shockwave will backstab anyone and do whatever it takes to accomplish his goals, even stooping as low as to commit mad cold experiments on anyone if it seems to be the “logical” course of action. To this extent, Shockwave is pretty much the most terrifying character in a franchise meant to sell toys.
