Public September Art

I try my darndest to post something fun for free every Friday on tumblr, mastodon, pillowfort, bluesky and jpawlik.com/blog with sketches and thumbnails up early for Patrons and VIP members!

Webcomic Updates

Two more pages from the comic Max and I did for the anthology Queer Compassion in 15 Comics, it’s a bit heavy but I’m really happy with how it turned out!

5 pages are up so far to read for free! If you want early access to pages, sketches and thumbs check out my Patreon or my VIP Blog.

For Patrons and VIP members, I’m posting pages from After Practice – a comic Max and I did for Filthy Figments a few years back that we’re allowed to post now! This’ll give me a good backlog to get back into new comics after my contract ends.

A sexy 19-page story about two older lesbians, Jan and Isabelle, who come home to a relaxing bath after flag football practice!

September’s Sketchbook

This month’s sketchbook is up for the Grab Bag tier on Patreon and my VIP Blog

I bit off a bit more than I could chew with this sketchbook but managed to get a lot done regardless! There’s some very silly doodles, concept art, an attempt at Swordtember and some very good shoutouts from my Private Collector crew.

Swim On

Swim On donations have been DONATED and the zine is still for sale if you missed it! Donations are done annually every September 30th. All proceeds go towards finfree.org and I’m covering any and all Stripe fees myself.

We made a whopping $941.00!!! The most we’ve EVER made! Thank you all for your support in this last volume, what an incredible journey. I’ll keep annually donating whatever we get even if I don’t make another zine (but who knows, maybe I’ll come back to it if I have more time down the road).

The Trans Comics Bundle #1

Today’s also the last day to support this trans-only comics bundle by DCS on itch.io!

Max and I put Given & Taken forward and y’know I’m still real proud of that comic. We’re so close to our next goal so go grab some trans comics and help support trans creators!

Written by M. Parker | Art by Jey Pawlik

Early in their partnership, Jigen is shot and when Lupin tries to help he discovers something he didn’t know about his partner. Unsure of how to react Lupin falls into old habits and is surprised when it doesn’t work out as planned.

This zine does not contain sexual content but does contain nudity and realistic depictions of an external genitalia prosthetic. Viewer discretion recommended.

Content warnings: Misgendering, language, blood, nudity, packer/dildo

Extras include: – Thanks for reading page – 2 extra comics (ft. Fujiko and Zenigata) – Turbodick specs & features – Michelle’s scripts and thumbnails (ft. my cover thumbnails)

Grab the physical copy here!

Other things

Nearing the last ten tasks on my NDA game project with some on-call work for October/November and hopefully I’ll be able to share info about the game soon!! Stay tuned.

I’m taking most of October off to work on personal art and do some fun day trips with my spouse Max. We’ve been pretty non-stop since last January so it’ll be nice to have some time to do some fun things.

I’m trying to get into photography as a hobby that I WILL NOT monetize and that’s been real fun. I’ve got a 1994 Pentax film camera, an Instax Mini 11 and a small Panasonic Lumix DSLR that I’ve been playing around with. The tough part is I always want to bring all three camera with me every where I go. Maybe I’ll post photos somewhere online at some point after I recover from being real busy.

If you’re a Lupin fan, also check out the Lupin Forum I’m hosting weekly art prompts over there, so come draw with us!

Updates
Comic Studies: Ryoko Kui

Sketchpage of thumbnail studies from Delicious in Dungeon, there's 16 thumbnails total. Sketchpage of studies of panels from Delicious in Dungeon focusing on backgrounds. Studies from Delicious in Dungeon focusing on character expressions. Full page layout study of a page from Delicious in Dungeon, making note of how wide the gutters are and how big the font is.

 

Some Ryoko Kui studies from 2021 that I wanted to post now that the manga has wrapped up. Delicious in Dungeon holds a real special place in my heart, and while I haven’t done much/any fanart of it, I have done manga studies!

I’ve done manga studies before in this public post of Monkey Punch studies & one of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou or for Grab Bag tier folks I posted a whole sketchbook of studies!

Public August Art

I try and post fun public art every Fridays, usually fanart! I post them over on tumblr, mastodon, cohost, pillowfort, bluesky and jpawlik.com/blog with sketches and thumbnails up early for patrons and VIP members!

Webcomic Updates

Something a bit different, Max and I were invited to this anthology back in 2021 Queer Compassion in 15 Comics and now that the book is out, we’re finally able to share what we did for it! We’re both very proud of it.

Our comic was 8 pages so I’ll be scheduling one per week on Tuesdays to give us a bit of a buffer so we can get some new Darumaka comics ready for y’all!

Three pages are up so far to read for free! If you want early access to pages, sketches and thumbs check out my Patreon or my VIP Blog.

Read from the beginning

For Patrons and VIP members, I just finished posting all 5 pages of the comic Max and I did for the Mon Marie zine. It’s not quite NSFW but has implications and is a bit more mature. I also popped our extra copies up in the Topaz Shop if you’re interested.

August’s Sketchbook

This month’s sketchbook is up for the Grab Bag tier on Patreon and my VIP Blog

A mixture of digital and traditional pages this time around due to being without my physical sketchbook for a minute. Lots of concept art in this one, a bunch of silly doodles, studies and of course some great shoutout requests!

Swim On

Swim On 10 is still for sale, and this last volume features 149 illustrations by 134 artists. All proceeds go towards finfree.org

Grab that and all the previous volumes here

Other things

Still working away on my NDA game project and should be wrapping up in September. I have really enjoyed my time working on a video game so I may pursue more of this work going forward!

I bought an old 1994 Pentax film camera and have been having such a good time getting into photography as a hobby. I’ve been wanting a hobby that I can’t monetize and that doesn’t involve drawing in any way. There’s a local camera club near me so I may also join that soon. Maybe I’ll post some photos online too!

My goal after September is to really dive back in to personal work for the remainder of the year. I have so much I want to work on but just don’t have the time yet!

Updates
Jigen/Mash 1969

I’d rewatched Hemingway Papers earlier this year and really wanted to draw a young Jigen and Mash. I have oh so many headcanons for them.

I’ve got a bunch of these old photo style illustrations in my backlog and I’m thinking I’ll post them on my Patreon/VIP Blog once The Curtain Falls is over, then collect them all into a zine!

Sketchbook Shoutouts – 47

Three shoutout requests to start off the month, I had fun figuring out how to draw some guys I’ve never drawn before!

Shoutouts are for my Private Collector gang on Patreon & my VIP Blog! I draw them traditionally in my sketchbook and folks get one every month.
