Trying something out this year: newsletters! … well sorta.
Instead of posting each individual update post here I want to do a monthly round up of everything I’ve done in a month. I’ll try out a bunch of different things and see what sticks. What do you like seeing in a newsletter?
And hey if you use an RSS feed reader, you can add this blog to it with this feed link! Don’t know what RSS is? No problem, I made a comic about it
Without further ado, things I did this month:
*all images will be clickable and lead you to said comic link
January’s Oh Joy Sex Toy Comic “Destressing with the Magic Wand”
Times can be tough and sometimes I’m just not up for the whole kit and caboodle so I’ll just reach for my old trusty favourite instead. This last year has been a lot with getting sick, having sudden wrist pain, social media being what it is, it really bummed me out. I’m thankful for my partner Michelle and my therapist, so things are looking up but I know it can be rough sometimes. So this is just a little something I do to relieve some of that pent up energy.
For $10 patrons, I posted a behind the scenes about my OJST comic “Headcanons”. This includes how and why I made it, the script, thumbnails, and sketches of the pages.
Alola Darumaka is back!
After a Christmas hiatus, Darumaka is back and she’s going on a 7 page adventure! Michelle and I are excited to get back into it, I missed drawing this little goofball. If you don’t know, Alola Darumaka is a free to read 4-koma comedy comic about Darumaka and her partner Daven who’ve moved to Alola from Unova. Hijinks happen but it’s all in good fun!
Patrons and Kofi subscribers get early access to pages 1 month before they’re posted publicly on Topaz Comics every Tuesday at 12pm EST
Shop Updates
I added my 2022 sketchbooks to my shop!
But if you’re a $5+ patron or Kofi subscriber you get the whole backlog for these plus a sketchbook for every month going forward. Otherwise I post all my sketchbooks as a bundle per year.
January’s Sketchbook
My January 2023 sketchbook on Patreon & Kofi too! New year, new sketchbook! It includes this months shoutout requests, lots of Lupin Zero doodles, thoughts, comics and ideas(?!!!), some RPG NPCs, and more work on an original comic concept!
The Curtain Falls
My 50 page Lupin comic had some hold-ups while I was recovering from my wrist injury so I decided to post pages as I finish them instead of trying to maintain it once a week. Right now I’m posting it for $5 Patrons and Ko-fi subscribers. This has been a really ambitious project with huge backgrounds and a car chase?! I did this to myself, I know.
Commissions
Hey I’m going to try having 2 commission slots open per month, only 2 because that might be all I can handle right now. Patrons get first dibs. I set up a trello board for it too, I’m a big fan of trello boards.
NSFW Art
For my $10 patron tier, I posted two new smutty Lupin pieces. I’m starting a new thing where people can request specific nsfw art through a suggestions box! It’s been fun and I wanted to answer the question-type ones as the characters. They’ll be like mini sketchy comics. There’s also a very good multi-image drawing of Lupin the Second in some lingerie. My $10 tier has a huge backlog of lewd art spanning a few years now, but if you can’t make it onto Patreon you can grab the PDF versions on my itchio after I collect enough pieces to make a PDF.
Dead City Omnibus
Progress for remastering Dead City has been a bit slow but I’m making headway. My goal is to be done by late March so we can have the big beautiful book ready in time for TCAF (April 29-30th, 2023)
Other things
Hey there’s a Lupin III forum that I’m apart of, posting art on, doing CSS for, and did some badges for! Check it out, it’s really chill so far and a good place to be away from Twitter.
I’m going to be starting my next TTRPG with my group the first week of February, I’m really excited to get back into it. I’ll post the NPC designs I’ve done once they’re revealed to the players!
I’ve been re-reading Witch Hat Atelier and it’s just such a good comic. The magic system is really fun and relatable! I highly recommend picking it up if you can.
~~~
Well I think that about covers it. Does this format work? What do y’all look for in newsletters? I’ll do what I can with the time I have!
See you next month~
It’s happening, I’m going to try and open 2 commission slots per month (except for maybe April ’till June because I’ll be real busy). Patrons get first dibs on slots. I’ll play around with the set-up a bit until I find a timeline, way of posting about commissions that works best.

I did a behind the scenes post about an Oh Joy Sex Toy comic I did earlier in the year with a look at my thumbs, script and sketches and a few people in my end of year survey have requested more like that so let’s try it out! I’ll post a behind the scenes look once a month.
They’ll be posted for my Private Collector tier on Patreon only because most will be NSFW.
I’m working on the Dead City Omnibus and wanted to give $1+ patrons a little sneak peek on what the first chapter will look like, plus a look into some of the changes I’ll be bringing to the table like re-lettering the whole comic!
Page 12 of Touchdown is up on Patreon today!

End of Year Update: Patreon & Kofi tiers 2023
Hey everyone, I wanted to post a tier update for you all.
I put up a survey last month and I just want to thank everyone who filled it out, it was really cool to read your feedback!
Here’s the updated tiers, changes will be in effect as of January 1, 2023
I’ve decided to merge the $3 and $5 tiers due to them being too similar which led to some confusion.
The $5 is now any safe for work art or comics that I’ll be turning into physical books and PDFs as I complete them; so mini comics, wallpapers, zine pieces, TTRPG campaign work, anything I’m working on at the time!
It’s available for Private Collector patrons right now, and while I can’t guarantee I’ll do every request, I’ll do my best to do a few requests every month! It comes with some numbered prompts and I’ll be updating it every so often.
What I’m aiming for in 2023 is to offer 1-2 commission slots per month, and all patrons will get first priority on these.
I opted in for the option for patrons to pay annually, this also gives you a 10% discount. The current $3 tier will be included in this until December 31st.
There was an overwhelming amount of people in my survey who like being charged the first of the month regardless of when they signed up, so I’ll be keeping it as is! So a heads up if you sign up on the 30th of the month, you’ll get billed again on the 1st of the next month.
Kofi Subscribers get the same $1 and $5 tiers as Patreon
Kofi is against NSFW art so I will not be including the $10 option on Kofi.
Last day to preorder Given & Taken (a transjigen comic) and get the bonus sticker for free! Prices are in CAD
Regular orders will go up once I get the books in stock. You’ll also be able to buy the sticker separately!
