Halloween Draw Off Round 5

| Peter Ahola

Our second to last round for this year’s draw off. This is our “original character” piece for the year. This year I’m combining both Kalwa and Amber into one piece, featuring both girls and their friends. And yes before anyone asks, this was kinda inspired by the Hex Girls from Scooby-Doo. I should also point out that Amber and Kalwa both are wearing previous costumes from older drawings in past years, costume for Reko and Zack are kinda first runs.

I’ll be uploading the finale for this year’s draw off on Halloween, stick around to see what it is.

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.

| Peter Ahola

Today is the official day everyone. We’ve had a long break due to con prep and other project, but finally today Kalwa has a NEW chapter starting up. Chapter 28 is officially launching, the final chapter in the current story arch. Today we’re kicking off with THREE pages of this chapter. We got some more done as well, and will upload them in a timely fashion.

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.

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!!!!!

Ariel

| Peter Ahola

Finally I draw Ariel for Mer-May, probably the most famous Mermaid and I haven’t done her Mermay once! So here we are at last with Ariel herself, drawn in a more realistic style. I got real obsessive on this piece as the thumbnail I drew in my sketchbook had such a lovely face that I couldn’t replicate on the finished work, so wound up tracing the face onto the final piece.

Dr. Stone starts off mer-May

| Peter Ahola

Well it’s officially May, and that means it’s Mer-May online, so it’s time to start the fun. Here’s a starter with Senku and Kohaku from Dr. Stone, in lovely Mer-Folk form. Tried adding some extra details to their details to their tails to kinda simulate their attire in the show a bit.
