Public December Art<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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

Webcomic Updates<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finished up another two page Lupin one-shot! Be sure to read both pages of “What Happened”.<\/p>\n

I started keeping an HRT diary now that I’m on T. I just couldn’t stay away from autobio comics could I? I suppose this is a kind of spiritual successor to Gender Slices. There’s two pages up on Topaz Comics, and four on Patreon!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Private Collector tier on Patreon also got another “After All” page, a NSFW Jigen\/Zenigata comic written by Michelle. If you wanna see Jigen and Zenigata smooch and more, this is the comic for you!<\/p>\n

In lieu of The Curtain Falls pages this month I’ve been posting this paywall exclusive comic that I did for Oh Joy Sex Toy back in April. It’s a 5 page comic about my experience GMing for the first time. Four pages are up so far and the last will be up next week.<\/p>\n

December’s Sketchbook<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This month’s sketchbook is up for the Grab Bag tier on Patreon <\/a>& <\/strong>Kofi<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I managed to get this sketchbook up just in time!<\/p>\n

I also managed to finish my Lupin Advent Calendar art, all 24 days worth. It felt a lot like when I’d do inktober back in the day. I had a good time trying something new and doing just a lot of art this month. I hope y’all got to relax and enjoy the festive season.<\/p>\n

New Years Resolutions
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

My new year’s resolutions for 2024 are turning out to be a lot more laid back than they have in previous years. I usually try and go all out, but after such a busy year I thought I’d go easy on myself.<\/p>\n

Mottos<\/strong>
\n– Make stuff because YOU like it (INDULGENT)
\n– Take time to work on improving (QUALITY)
\n– Don’t compare yourself to the wide internet (SELF CARE)
\n– Let yourself be uncomfortable (MISOPHONIA)
\n– Use things that make you happy (JOY)<\/p>\n

Comics<\/strong>
\n– Finish a comic
\n– Start a comic
\n– Print a book
\n– Contribute to a zine\/anthology
\n– Take a personal art month<\/p>\n

Personal<\/strong>
\n– Bird watching, and reading up on each bird after I spot them
\n– Daily wrist strengtheners and stretches
\n– Journal daily
\n– Go for more walks
\n– Bind a book<\/p>\n

Other things<\/strong><\/h4>\n

– Not much, the holidays were good but extremely busy!
\n– I bought a new tiny phone that I’m excited to use when it comes in
\n– I’m working full time at my current contract job, which has been a blast so far!
\n– I’m now a part of the Adult Artists Webring<\/a><\/strong>. Check it out, there’s some real great artists there!<\/p>\n
