Rodrick Kingsley

| Peter Ahola

Shedding some light one of Marvel’s most underused characters, Rodrick Kingsley, the original Hobgoblin. Truly he’s one of Marvel’s best villains given how skilled he was at manipulating people in order to cover his tracks and use his Hobgoblin activities to better his bank account. Sadly once the character’s identity was revealed he got a proper send off and all future Hobgoblin stories just seem more interested in preserving the legacy of the character’s mysterious identity either by introducing a new Hobgoblin or having muliple ones, or even retconning old history. So Kingsley seems to really just get shoved into the background or played as an insignificant joke at times.

Owl House/ HP LOVEcraft Trilogy

| Peter Ahola

A trilogy of artwork I did featuring the Owl house crossed over with the world of HP Lovecraft, mainly his monster god Cthulu. The first picture was done late last year and the latter two were completed this year, with the final one being done last week.

This originally started as a simple joke, but there were some comments on facebook noting it could be a real crossover that would make sense, so the latter two pieces were made much more serious and a bit more mature. The second image was done BEFORE the Owl House finale and even just before the second special. So concepts such as Stringbean and the time-skip at the end hadn’t yet aired, resulting in the creation of an original adult Luz design in a more apocalyptic world.

Amber and Swishy

| Peter Ahola

New artwork of Amber and Swishy eavesdropping in on a human conversation. I feel like I’ve done a little too much recently with fanart and not enough on my own characters ever since switching to the more heavy shading like art style. So I’m trying to do a bit more with my own characters to balance it out.

Kalwa chapter 27 Begins today!

| Peter Ahola

It’s been a really long break between Kalwa chapters. The last chapter (chapter 26) wrapped up in late September of last year and the comic kinda went quiet since then. The reason for this long break is I’ve been busy in other sections of my life, of course I was celebrating the holidays but I also took a long break to better spread my name as an artist with other drawings. I was also learning to better enhance my style, learning to blend the manga style I’ve drawn with the heavy shading of the more western style from American comics I’ve also practiced. It’s been a long journey to where I am.

But now all is said and done, and Chapter 27 is officially starting up TODAY over on the Kalwa website. This time I’ve actually prepared some pages in advance, which was another reason for the delay. This way I’ll be able to upload pages while also being able to work on other projects and sections of life. It will also hopefully help to provide high quality pages by allowing me time to breathe and double check my work instead of being pressured by the release schedule.

So all that said, link to the comic is down below. The first two pages are up right now along with the cover, page three will be up on Wednesday. So click that link and check out what we got for you now!

To 2023

| Peter Ahola

Here’s to another year complete, and what a year it was with new art, more exposure and more fun. Here’s to another year complete and new things coming along next year. To 2023!!!!!

Cthulu Rises

| Peter Ahola

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

| Peter Ahola

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

| Peter Ahola

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.
