Public January Art

I post something publicly every Friday (and sometimes more). These can be seen & shared on my various socials: tumblr, mastodon, cohost, pillowfort, bluesky and jpawlik.com/blog with sketches and thumbnails up early for patrons and kofi members, then for free members 2 months later.

Webcomic Updates

Alola Darumaka is back in full-swing! There’s four new pages up on Topazcomics so don’t miss those, there’s some real good ones in there!

Read on Patreon | Read from the beginning | Read starting at page 96

Page 3 of my HRT diary comic is up! I’m going to be posting this as changes happen so there won’t be a schedule for this one other than it’ll go up on a Tuesday!

Read on Patreon | Read on Topaz Comics

Two new pages of “After All” went up for my Private Collector tier! This is a NSFW Jigen/Zenigata comic written by Michelle. And we’re getting over Zenigata’s insecurities!

Read the pages here

The Curtain Falls is also back and updating! If you’re new, this is a longer Lupin III fancomic I’m working that focuses on Lupin in his 60s and dealing with change and retirement. There’s a car chase and Yata’s in trouble in the most recent pages. I’m really proud of it, I hope you’ll read it!

January’s Sketchbook

This month’s sketchbook is up for the Grab Bag tier on Patreon and Kofi

First new sketchbook of the year is here! Lots of concept art for some projects I want to work on, some redraw studies, and a new format on how I want to draw shoutout requests (it’s been a long time coming)! For my fun new year’s resolutions this year I’m going to draw every bird I see out in the wild and every book/tv series I finish this year! I did something like that in 2022 and really enjoyed it.

Speaking of sketchbooks, if you’re not a Patreon or Kofi member, I posted my entire 2023 collection of sketchbooks over on the Topaz Comics online shop! It’s a 12 PDF collection of 285 pages of all my sketches, concept art, and fun doodles that I did last year.

Other things

– I’m still working full time at my current contract job so I’ve had less time to do personal art but I’m having a great time on this contract!
– I’m now a part of the Adult Artists Webring. Check it out, there’s some real great artists there.
– I redid my illustration section on my portfolio and I am so proud of the css I did for that! Website coding always feels like a good puzzle for me to solve. I’m absolutely an amateur when it comes to coding, but I can get really in to it if there’s something I want to add to any of my sites.
– I made a Patreon-like mirror site for myself over at VIP blog, it’s not very pretty yet but I think it works! This is a side project I’ve been working on for around a year now, just in case Patreon ever goes under I’ll have a back up.

Going to do my best to keep up with the monthly newsletters for y’all! Here’s to a good year!
