Halloween Draw Off Round 3

| Peter Ahola

Round 3 for our 2024 Halloween Draw Off gets into some unique subjects. First up a little more of an innocent piece, the three main protagonists of Digimon Tamers Trick or Treating as their Digimon’s Mega Forms. This was inspired by a wallpaper I downloaded from Pintrest that had Rika dressed as her Digimon Sakyuamon.

Next up is our Owl House piece for the month, a crossover with Freddy Kruger. This was not originally planned as a Halloween piece, it was actually meant as a standard crossover for earlier this year. But I just kept putting it off and then when I couldn’t think of a Halloween Piece for this year, decided to whip it out.

Then we have the Balrog from Lord of the Rings. I said this year it would be all monsters and scary things, I never said it all had to be from horror related media. I first drew this guy as a lunchtime sketch I think last year and he was so much fun I wanted to make a real drawing of him.

More Hallowen art all month long.

Halloween Draw Off Round 2

| Peter Ahola

Time for a second round of Halloween art. This week we got some real terrors for you that come in some real weird forms, or non-forms. This week’s subjects are the Blob based off the 1980 remake, the Boogeyman from the Real Ghostbusters cartoon show and Coraline (with Other Mother) from the animated movie of the same name. More Halloween art coming all month long.

HALLOWEEN DRAW OFF ROUND 1

| Peter Ahola

It’s officially October, the best time of the year. You all know what that means, its time for the Annual Green Raptor Halloween Draw Off. Since I first started operating under the name Green Raptor Studios back in 2015, it has been a tradition to go all out at Halloween time drawing monsters, demons and anything scary from pop culture, as well as few Halloween themes to our own original characters… and a few things here and there. While it started off as a small thing on Deviant Art, over the years it’s grown only larger and is always one of the biggest events I look forward to all year.

This year we got FOURTEEN drawings planned that we will be putting up all month long. Starting off our parade this year is Pinhead from the Hellraiser series and the Ghost Host from the Haunted Mansion. Pinhead has constantly been denied every Halloween Draw off till now. While he’s one of my favorite horror villains, I’ve always been intimidated at drawing all the pins in his head due to complexity. But I’m feeling a bit more confident nowadays and he’s finally showing up for the parade.

The Ghost Host is this year’s Haunted Mansion piece, they almost always find their way here. First the Hatbox Ghost made his debut in this draw off early on when it first started and then last year it was Constance Hatchaway, the bride. Now it’s time for the Ghost Host to make his debut in this draw off. Happy October and stick around, I’ll be here all month long.

Kalwa Chapter 29 debuts TODAY!!!

| Peter Ahola

Well it’s been a long journey here. Since chapter 28, I’ve been pursuing other projects. I also attended a few cons to rest my mind and the process was a little slow getting the script rechecked. But we’re finally here everyone at chapter 29. Today we got THREE pages up for your consumption, more are complete and we will be uploading weekly on Sunday. In case something causes interference I’ll give a heads up.

Down below is page one of our 29th chapter, to read the other pages just click the page. And if you like what you read or just want to for the sake of it… comment on our chapter below, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Wargreymon

| Peter Ahola

Just posting a little more work before this site turns to spook central next month. So here’s a piece I did of WarGreymon, my favorite Digimon. Despite my desire to draw him one day, I had no idea what to do for a pose. This was kinda just a spill of the moment, though I’m still happy with the way it turned out.

Cryptkeep (Tales from The Crypt Fanart)

| Peter Ahola

Everyone, the Halloween spirit is starting to BOIL in me right now. I know it’s still July and we got like three more months to go, but already I’m longing for Halloween time. You all know each year I do the big Halloween draw off where it’s a full month of art featuring monsters or other horror icons from pop culture, as well as some Halloween stuff for my own creations. For me personally it’s also a time for horror movies and books, and last year was so much fun. But oh, the waiting.

Anyway, the feeling boiled to the top and here’s a drawing of the Crypt Keeper from Tales from the Crypt. He’s not currently on the list for this year’s draw off, but trust me, we’ll have some great stuff. Just hang on a little longer, October is only three months away.

MermAy 2024

| Peter Ahola

Long time no upload. This may was kinda getting hyped for Fan-Fusion and working on other illustrations that I haven’t had a chance to upload. So it’s time for some major super pack uploads. So here’s the art for Mer-May 2024. Didn’t really have much planned this past month so I pulled out two quick ideas involving She-Ra and Ariel. Also there’s a crossover involving Amber and the Gill-Man (Creature from the Black Lagoon). This originally meant to be Amber’s piece for last years Halloween Draw Off, but it was passed on one because of time constraints and it kinda clashed with the all the other drawings cause it was more silly than scary. Also the joke doesn’t have much relevance to the actual Creature of the Black Lagoon film and I felt it was just kinda a desperate grab for the Halloween season and I kinda felt I’d get bored with it and just rush through to get to the others. Still it was kinda a cute idea, so I decided to save it for Mer-May.

Luigi’s Mansion

| Peter Ahola

A little spur of the moment based on a old game I love. While I haven’t always been a fan of the Mario World in general, though my opinion has changed very recently, I have always loved Luigi. Mainly this is due to the video game series Luigi’s Mansion in which the little coward is facing his worst fears in order to save his captured brother Mario.

In particular the original Luigi’s Mansion has a special place in my heart as it was a launch title on the Game Cube, and I got both the system and the game on Christmas Day 2001. Every time I turn on the game and see the title screen I’m flashed back to the Christmas Day when I first played the game on our first new game system in years.

This is kinda a little darker and more mature take on the game, hence why I’ve tried to make Luigi a little more proportionally correct and the Boo more fierce.

Kalwa Japanese Festival

| Peter Ahola

This was a little piece I designed for my studio featuring Kalwa, Zack, and Reko enjoying a Japanese festival with many other characters they’ve met along the way. Group shots like these can be a little nerve racking as I feel I can get tunnel vision and get a tad sloppy. Still I think it’s a real pretty piece.
