This has been sitting on my desktop all year unfinished and I really wanted to finally finish it. So it’s been a while since I’ve used my character Reptileena (aka) Brit. I’ve done even less with her partner Maria, so here’s a little revival of the two.

Those unaware of their backstory, this is a costumed vigilante team that resides in Scottsdale AZ. Brit was once the lead cheerleader at her high school till she was kidnapped and spliced together with a variety of reptile DNA and became a one woman reptile kingdom. Maria is the daughter of the Scottsdale police chief whose always dreamed of fighting crime ever since losing her mother at a young age. Together the two of them team up with Brit acting as the city’s mutant vigilante Reptileena, while Maria acts as her tech support assistant.

Pictures from last week’s comic con in Tuscon Arizona, our first con with published books. I haven’t attended a con in so long, and my first experience was EXHAUSTING. I was pretty much on my toes for nine hours which you would think wouldn’t be so bad given my day job, but interacting with the cosplayers and potential customers left me drained, call it a first experience.

That aside, the convention was a great success, in the end we sold four Kalwa books and six Amber books (there was also a sale off con just yesterday). Also got in contact with several other on tips for future cons. I’m gonna try to find a cheaper printer for the books so we can hopefully sell them at a cheaper price, hopefully even get a ten chapter Kalwa graphic novel like I originally wanted.

I’ll start posting products to my Etsy store soon after some personal life stuff. We’re a bit short on books at the moment though I do have a very small number as of now. If interested, send a message to our contact page and I can sell you a copy.

They are finally here! Kalwa and Amber vol 1 are now officially published in paper back. These books will be sold at Tuscon Comic Con this weekend at the Green Raptor Table. I’ll look to selling them on the etsy shop too, but they will make their debut at the con.

Both of these are manga sized books done on lovely high quality, gloss paper. None of that novel like cheap stuff seen on other manga. Kalwa vol 1 contains the first four chapters of the story along with a small art gallery, which includes a special guest art by KGFantasy and an exclusive art that I haven’t posted to the website yet. It also includes and introduction and some behind the scenes work including old sketches and backstory on the original concept when it was first created back in my High School years. The book will cost $30

Amber will contain the entire first story seen on this website, it will feature two illustrations in it’s art gallery and small essay on the character’s creation. The book will cost $20.

In addition BOTH books contain new dialogue and updates to the artwork NOT seen on the websites. As is tradition in manga, what you see on the website is the first version, kinda like manga in a magazine and the published book is the final work. We will also have a couple of fun goodies and freebies at the table this weekend. So if you are in the Tuscon area this weekend, swing on by, I’d love to meet you.
