After All These Years, Can You Finally Say Who You Really Are? (18+)

An erotic Lupin III fancomic, where Zenigata is conflicted about his feelings for other men and unexpectedly meets Jigen at a gay bar.

"After All These Years Can You Finally Say Who You Are?" cover and back cover in one image. Both are done in a noir detective book cover style with lots of grungy textures in purple, yellow, orange and blue. Text in black on a yellow banner at the top reads "Paperback preorders open @topazcomics.com/shop - $15CAD". The front cover shows Zenigata standing against a wall with his hands in his pockets looking to the left at a gay bar sign glowing behind him. "18+" is in the bottom right corner. The back cover shows a similar set-up but from the perspective of the gay bar sign, we are looking up some stairs to see Zenigata and Jigen from behind as they walk away into the night arm in arm under a bright streetlamp. Text reads "A NSFW Lupin III fancomic, where Zenigata is conflicted about his feelings for other men and unexpectedly meets Jigen at a gay bar." A yellow circle is in the corner showing a sticker of Jigen and Zenigata's hats on top of one another with hears coming off of them. Text reads "All paperback orders come with a sticker"

Preorders have opened for the paperback copy here: https://topazcomics.com/shop/product/after-all-these-years/

All paperback orders will come a sticker,and orders will be shipping out mid-March! You will get a tracking number to your email once the zine has been shipped out.

Promo image of "After All". Text in black on a yellow banner reads "Digital Download @ jeypawlik.itch.io - $8USD" The image shows two comic pages from the zine. Page 1 shows Zenigata's men searching one of Lupin's hideouts and finding a gay men's porn magazine. One officer asks Zenigata "Inspector. Do we have protocol for handling this?" he looks nervously as he holds up the magazine which shows a nude male model from behind. Page 2 shows Zenigata looking surprised then becoming serious. He says "It's evidence, put it with the rest." A timeskip happens and Zenigata is in a hotel room doing paperwork, he looks serious.

A downloadable version is available on Itchio:

Promo image of "After All". Text in black on a yellow banner reads "Bonus: Chapter 3 has both a transJigen version and a cisJigen version!" The image shows a comic page from the zine twice, but with slight differences, the first showing Jigen wearing a binder and the second showing Jigen wearing a tank top. Jigen takes Zenigata's right hand and presses it up against his own chest, he takes Zenigata's left hand and places it near his own ass. The two kiss deeply on the hotel bed. Jigen leans in and says "That's it, stud."

On The Job

Lupin pops into Zenigata’s office for a surprise. But once he’s there things get a bit out of hand.

Cover illustration of the Lupin III fancomic "On The Job". A black background with a window above the title showing Zenigata from the nose down blushing as his tie is held by Lupin's hand which comes from the bottom of the window.

Comic page from "On The Job", Lupin has been thrown under a desk and his limbs are in an awkward position. Light speechbubbles bubble around him as Zenigata speaks to his commissioner. We see a shot of Zenigata standing behind the desk from Lupin's perspective, him focusing on Zenigata's crotch with a large grin.

The first sketchbook of the year and I’m off to a good start, with a bunch of fun concept art, some Lupin prompts, good shoutout requests and some silly doodles!

Commissions

I’m currently open for commissions and trying out using Ko-fi to process those for me. If you’ve ever wanted some custom art from me, now’s the time! I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to have them open for this year.

Photography Corner

 

So for the last 2 years I started getting into film photography and thought I’d finally start posting some of those online. This is a just for fun hobby and I’m going to try really hard not to stress about scheduling posts and such.

You can see the other 9 photos over here – and maybe I’ll post them on tumblr or other places as well, we’ll see!

Cool Comics

I thought I’d try something new this year with a comic recommendation every month! I’ll be putting links to these comics in my blog’s side bar too.

Lies Within - BOOK 1

Lacey is a good friend of mine but I’m not starting with Lies Within because of that, I’m starting with Lies Within because you NEED to read it. It’s fun, it’s witty, it’s modern and supernatural. I won’t say too much because I don’t want to give too much away but go read it you won’t regret it!

Ladies of Lupin Zine

I thought I’d posted this already but didn’t! Max and I did a 4 page gay Fujiko comic for the Ladies of Lupin zine which you can still order here: https://ladiesoflupiniii.bigcartel.com/

Profits from this project will be donated to National Network of Abortion Funds

 

Other things

I finally did a small rebrand, changing up my display picture and banner for the first time since 2025. I have a small moustache now after all!

Max and I have applied for a few conventions already; TCAF (Toronto, June 7-8, 2025), Citrus Con (Remote, June 20 – June 22), NIF (Remote, May 2025) and will be applying for Dashcon 2 tomorrow. I’ll be sure to let y’all know if we get in to these!

Max and I will have a garage sale booth at Nerd Market 5 on February 23rd from 12pm-4pm

Promotional poster for "Nerd Market! An event presented by the University of Toronto Tabletop Gaming Club" A nerdy garage sale without the garage. The Greal Hall at Hart House.

Hope y’all are staying safe out there

Photography Corner #1

Colour film photo of a lake up in Port Severn. It's very overcast and the trees came out very dark.

So in 2023 I started getting back into photography and more specifically film photography. For our honeymoon I’d borrowed a friend’s Samsung Slim Zoom and really enjoyed using it, there’s something about the colours and graininess of film that I just love so much.

I’ll be posting these irregularly and I’m not going to stress about it AT ALL. No schedule, just maybe 10 photos at a time. I might post them on tumblr too but we’ll see.
