Kalwa character sheets

| Peter Ahola

These have already been posted to the Kalwa website, but I wanted to post them here too. So I’ve started making character sheets of my characters as a way keep consistency amongst drawings. Namely color is kinda a struggle since I wind up shifting through tones of old drawings through disks.

I’ve also wanted to have some colorful production art to show off amongst my original work as well as trying to keep some design consistency. Mainly Kalwa’s ponytail hair style is the source of trouble, since it’s a very subtle change to her normal hair. It was actually based off a really life issue with drawing her hair too close to her eyes, as seen below.

I’m currently working on one for Reko too, and have one for my character the Raptor Queen, whose story I’m trying to get back to working on.

Saurasomon

| Peter Ahola

It’s time now to revive one of the oldest ideas in my lifetime. This is Saurasomon, an original Digimon I created back when I was eight, though with a radically different look.

So as a kid, I always use have imaginative scenarios of being a Digidestined and joining Tai, Izzy and the others on their adventures. Even use to draw myself (badly) into the coloring books I owned with my own Digimon partner.

Originally this character was called Dinomon, but that name has since become the name for Tyranomon’s mega form. I was next going to call him Raptormon, but felt that would be too cliched given my affiliation with raptors (Green Raptor Studios).

Finally the name Saurasomon was chosen to better affiliate him with his planned evolutions. The word “saur” is Latin for lizard and has since become a staple for word Dinosaur. The name “Saurasomon” was created after finding another fan-fiction Digimon called “Saurmon.”

I’m currently finalizing the designs on his Champion, Ultimate and Mega evolution forms. I think I got the Champion form locked down, but the other two are still in need of work. I’ll be posting them up in good time, I’ve just had other priority’s getting in the way.

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.

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.

Halloween Draw Off: Zombie Kalwa

| Peter Ahola

We now come to the Kalwa piece of this years Halloween draw off. Our three protagonists have been zombified. I think it was last year I drew headshots of them as zombies and posted it to the Kalwa website, except they had pupils and were a little more lively. These designs were more inspired by the zombies from Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, as they looked much scarier. And for this draw off I’m not looking to do anything cute, I want scary all the way.

Check out more of Kalwa on her own website, link can found up above on our main menu.

More Halloween art to come.

Kalwa and Kohaku

| Peter Ahola

I’ve fallen pretty far behind on a number of things to upload. I’ve had con prep and a little personal issues that have held me down. So now I’m trying to unload it all over several uploads. Starting with this crossover between Kalwa and Kohaku from Dr. Stone. This is their second crossover, think the other one is on the Kalwa website. So far I’ve loved Dr.Stone season 3 and just kinda sad I got to wait till October for the second half.

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.
