SupportI'm a Cartooning Grad from SVA (Class of '17). I like all comics but I tend to focus more on action sci-fi's with stylized looks. Oh, and I like video games and TV, I guess. If you like anything I said so far, then I'm the guy for you!

Posted this on my socials. Wanted to share it here before I go to sleep. So it's been a while but J-Man pages will resume on Friday. I got at least three pages finished with more being worked on. Once #6 ends I plan on putting out an update post with what my plans for the future are so you guys aren't in the dark.
Happy 2020!

I'm going to be streaming myself inking the latest J-Man pages. I meant to finish them a week ago but I've been low energy. Hopefully streaming and talking will keep me focused. Come hang out n stuff.
(BTW didn't realize it's Inksgiving. Hope everyone's having fun with it.)

Ok guys, I've officially changed the chapter version of Undefeatable J-Man to a full page version. The pages of issue 6 will be added each day until it catches up with the mobile (page 1 should be up in a few hours). If you're someone who prefers to read full edited pages, please check out the full pages format.
I've also updated the icons differentiate between pages and mobile. Page 18 will be up tomorrow. Inking/coloring to today. Sleep has been erratic lately.

Heads up next page might have to be a Monday release. Very complex fight scene. Will try to stream over weekend.
Quick Late-night update. I finished two J-Man pages. I'll release the mobile versions on Tuesday and Friday.
The "Chapter" version will be inactive for a bit as I change it to a "Full Page" version (see below update). I think I might have a trick to work around Tapas' size limit. If it works the quality should improve. Or more rather it shouldn't dip and fluctuate due to Tapas' size limit. We'll see :0

I'll be coloring the J-Man page that'll be up tomorrow on my new twitch account. Come hang out and here me ramble about my lack of color theory.

Hey guys. There's going to be a new page up tomorrow and I've been working real hard to work on nothing but J-Man pages the last few days. Trying to make sure Sept gets a full month of pages. Keeping my attention has always been the hardest part when it comes to webcomic making.
Next, I've been thinking of changing the Chapter format mirrors into Page format. Basically it'll ditch the full-chapter-adding-pages upload style and just update along with the mobile version but with the unedited pages.
The "Chapter Format" is a bit of a holdover from 5 years ago when the site was new and didn't focus so much on the mobile app. Now the app is king and notifying readers when new pages are added really doesn't work on the app. This will at least make it better/easier for people who do perfer full pages keep up with and enjoy the comic.
Here's hoping for a productive September and end of the year!

I'm going to be testing out my new Twitch page right now, inking some Marvel sketches. If you wanna hang out and chat, drop on by ;)

Hey guys. I'm having a bit of back pains today so next J-Man page'll go up tomorrow morning. It's mostly finished, just some coloring.
Hey. There'll be a new J-Man page on Friday and hopefully an update on Valve soon, but for now I thought I'd show off this Spider-Man sketch. It's the first of new Patreon rewards I'm doing.
You can also get sketches and support the comics by donating to my Patreon. Link in my bio.

Hopefully most readers have seen the latest page J-Man and format experiment I did. Basically I wanted to see if vertical web format was superior to the full pages I've been doing since debut and, at least for Tapas, it is.
So I'm going to delete that full page version of p8 and work on redoing/updating the rest of #6 into vertical so that the chapter will be a great jumping on point for new mobile readers. I might even put a special post just before #6 to explain the new format and the story so far (something Comicadia said I should do).
As for people who prefer full pages there's two options for you:
Read the comic on my website JonnyAlekseyDrawsComics.com (it does have the best image quality anywhere)
Or subscribe to the Chapter Format of J-Man which will be updated the same time as the normal version (tho you may have to check it regularly as I don't think the mobile app alerts readers of episodes being updated).
