The Owl House in Action

| Peter Ahola

I finally finished it all. So I started this series last year but got WAY OFF from finishing. Online I’ve kinda become an Owl House artist on other sites, in fact a facebook group kinda gave me a lot of exposure as an artist. When drawing the Owl House (or anything) my goal is to ultimately leave a mark on what I’m drawing. I can to add my own unique touch to everything I do so people will know that I did that and it doesn’t look like just anyone else drew it.

This series here was meant to add a more action/ anime like touch to the Owl House characters, portraying the characters in a more dynamic like fashion. Luz, Amity and Hunter were completed last year I think, but then I got off task and did other projects and other Owl House drawings. I just recently finished Vee, Willow and Gus since the rest of the month will probably be spent packing for a big move and I wanted this series finished before the series finale in early April. So here’s the WHOLE series of characters all on full display!!!!

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

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!!!!!

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.

Owl House Art

| Peter Ahola

So one last hoorah before we finish up with our Halloween draw off (this isn’t related). So this month I discovered Disney’s the Owl House, mostly in anticipation for the 1st of final episode specials. Well I fell in love with the show, and even watched the whole series TWICE in one month. The show’s story, the characters and even reading up on creator Dana Terrace’s history in making it kinda gave a major boost in creative energy and drive to make my own projects a reality, starting of course with Kalwa’s official publishing. More on that later.

Anyway, one little joy I have with making art like this is being able to take stylized cartoon characters and adding my own style and twist on them. I’ve kinda done a similar thing in the past with characters like Izzy from Total Drama and Ariel from little mermaid. So anyway, of course Luz the main character of the show was the focus and this month I cranked out THREE drawings of her this month in my own style. And I realized that none were posted to this site, so enjoy this owl house super package of all that’s come out this month. And I’ll probably be doing more in the future given how head over heals in love I am with this show.

Marin Kitagawa (again)

| Peter Ahola

Long time no post. I’ve kinda lost track updating this website and recently I fell off track from updating the Kalwa comic and had to catch up on that. So this drawing was actually a sketch I did at lunchtime at my day job, I kinda liked it so much that I I converted it to a digital drawing. I’m actually thinking of doing stuff like this more often since I’ve started doing full on illustrations for lunchtime sketches, and it’s much easier to draw and play around on break than after work when I’m tired. Anyway, hope everyone enjoys it.
