Again I dropped our list in a random generator in order to not favor any organization. All organizations and shelters deserve to be supported equally, so I will now always take the first suggestion on the list that the generator throws out.
So, randomlist says it's https://animalaidunlimited.org this month :) Hope that's cool with everyone.

This was suggested months ago, I'm sorry it took me so long. It was extremely painful to draw.
Thank you for all the awesome name suggestions, it was really hard to pick one!
So this is the sad story of "Roscoe". Please know that so many dogs suffer the same fate.
For the new patrons; please do not upload the bonus pages outside of Patreon, this is an exclusive Bonus just for you :)

Anyway, n...
For those who participated in the last survey, it is no surprise. I've been working on that dogfighting comic for a long time now. As a dog owner this comic is extremely difficult for me to draw though.
He still needs a name, any ideas? :)

I'm currently making some Wallpaper, you can download them right here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x188v21osv9jc0s/AADoJxbT8A4m_dSumPNbsl7ca?dl=0
They are for 1366x768 , but I'll make some for the 1024x768 resolution as well :)
Making these is veeeeery relaxing for me, haha. I hope you like them.
Sorry, the quality in this example is terrible, but you get the idea.
I was thinking of filming the process of myself drawing pages and artworks, but would definetley download a screen recorder for better quality. Could also record myself explaining what I'm doing and share some tricks for fellow artists?!
I'm motivated to try new things to offer on patreon, so let me know what you'd like to have or see more of :)
Alrighty, as promised the donation to Wolfhaven.org went through. Feel free to have a look into their fantastic work as well! :)
Been a bit confused about their donation side, as you have to donate via their online shop (?). Either way, they got the money. Thank you for making this possible everyone :)
(The screenshots are german, but I think you can still tell it's the usual PayPal confirmation page)

...or rather "a glance into the sketchbook."
I went through my old sketchbook and found some scenes that were later changed or not published at all. I found it kind of interesting, you guys might too :)

Thank you for voting! I have now started to work on story A. Of course I will publish the other two stories as well, I just couldn't decide where to start :)
I hope I can publish the comic this weekend.
2020-05-22 14:36:14 +0000 UTC View PostA few people felt the last post with the poll was "too much" and I want to apologize if I hurt anyone. I also didn't mean to let it seem like some "playful event", these are stories I am currently working on and these stories are emotionally challenging for me as well, but even though I wholeheartedly believe that they need to be heard. Even when these stories are heartbreaking, I believe in their message. I believe that many people need to be educated about certain issues.
I just thou...
I am having the plots for 3 comics - now I can't decide which one to finalize. You as my patrons can help me decide! Just pick the story you want to read next.
If you remember my former posts, my country has restricted shipping to some countries outside of europe (Thanks, Corona). I keep checking with the post office when these restrictions are lifted, apparently sending comics to the US is possible again.
If you're in the US and the shipping failed, I'll resend it asap, feel free to shoot me another message if you want to be double sure, haha
If you're new to my patreon: So far my comics can be ordered by patrons only. They're availabl...
Dear patrons, I'd like to present you my new comic! As promised you'll get some bonus ending, and I again I ask you not to leak them as these are exclusive works just for you.
I like this work better with the bonus ending, it gives a bit more depth to the inner struggle of the turtle that just passed. But decide for yourself :)
I am working hard to get the comic published this week. As a small comparison; I find it amusing what a disaster my sketches are, and how clear and pinpoint I make them in the end.
This comic is particularly difficult for me. I always always always loved sea turtles (and turtles in general) so much, reading about their suffering and hardships is so painful.

Alright, it is time to wake up from the Corona coma!
Yesterday I finally finished the storyboard for the next comic. Messy as always, can you see what this is gonna be about? There'll be 3 more patron-only pages as well.
I will be more productive again from now on, please excuse my silence. The current quarantine is not good for my psyche. Stay safe everyone!
Here we go, April's 30% went straight to
milossanctuary.org
Again a big THANK YOU to all of you, I am happy we can support this organisation. Seniors and disabled animals need some love and support as well <3
As discussed in another post, the next donation recipient is then randomly selected. I'll be looking into a Random generator today, so things will be fair.
Stay safe :)
Death is natural, so I felt like working on a quite natural themed reaper as a side project.
Once I can finally sell and ship my comics again, I can work on my planned "hardcover collectors edition". Besides already published comics it'll also include some comics and illustrations that aren't published online. If this picture turns out well, it might make it into the book as well.
I have also thought about creating larger acrylic paintings and offering them for sale on Patreon. Th...
2020-04-29 14:58:13 +0000 UTC View PostAlright everyone, I picked another link from our list and I'd like to donate to
www.milossanctuary.org
at the end of this month. They care for special needs animals, seniors, abused animals and do their best to give them the quality of life they deserve. Hope that's okay with everyone.
Another thing: since I have no personal preferences about who will receive the next donation, I thought about having the organisations selected via a random generator. Does this soun...
Hey patrons!
Some of the comics and postcards I sent out last came back to me. The envelopes had stamps on them that said that the german post does not send to these countries at the moment.
So far envelopes from the USA and South Africa bounced back to me.
I have contacted those concerned. If you are still waiting for your comics but have not been messaged by me, please send me an email to contact@jenny-jinya.com.
BUT since the post office continues to deliver wi...
For my fellow travelers, please do not support this cruelty.
Please 😞
Also as promised, some bonus pages that are patreon only. Please don't re-upload them elsewhere :)
2020-04-13 15:12:49 +0000 UTC View PostThere'll be a new Benefit for my patrons, all my future comics that will be uploaded on here, will also have some bonus panels which are Patreon-only. Could be anything from an alternative ending or a short extension of the story.
Either way there'll be bonus panels which I'll share exclusively with you :)
Already working on the next comic, I'll try to get it done by sunday.
Stay safe everyone <3
Some of you upped their monthly donations after my last post, I didn't expect that at all, I was thinking people grew genuinely unhappy with my art. I'm relieved and beyond grateful, especially in these uncertain times you're still so generous - Thank you, really!
I'll be thinking of something to make up for it :) In the meantime, stay safe and healthy!!
2020-04-05 09:50:02 +0000 UTC View PostThere seems to be a decline in patrons, especially this month. Some have informed me that they have financial problems because of Covid and you have my full understanding. I don't know if that applies to everyone, of course. If anyone is actually unhappy with my content or anything, please let me know. You can always contact me directly on Patreon.
This is my first attempt of running a Patreon-account, and I admit I'm a bit overwhelmed with a few things. But I do my best :)

Donation to "Act 4 Bali Dogs" is done. In case anyone's wondering about the adress, I used the paypal adress linked in one of their latests posts, you can see here:
https://www.facebook.com/ACT4BaliDogs/posts/1426313980862625
I'm so happy we can make this donation, I'm excited to think how much more good we can do in the future :) Thank you, each and every one of you!
Kinda unhappy with this one, had too much story/ideas in my mind, but too few pages lol.
Anyway, the message is still important. Rabbits often suffer from poor keeping and are often abandoned, especially around Easter time.
I was making rough sketches about death comforting a scared child/teen. But I'm not sure if this is stuff for a comic. I'm not sure if the death of a child might be too heavy as a topic, and I don't want to create content that comes off disrespectful.
(Although I already drew a dead/dying child, remember the first dog comic?).
Every comic idea I ever had came with the fear of being "too much" or going "too far". I want to draw about important things, but I don't want it to see...

Hey Everyone, it's time to talk about the next donation.
As mentioned in a former post, I'd really like to donate to "Bali Dogs" this month.
https://www.facebook.com/ACT4BaliDogs/
It is a personal concern for me, because I had to experience the suffering with my own eyes. Dogs and cats are having a hard time on Bali, often suffer abuse and abandonment. These girls work fulltime to rescue, rehab...
2020-03-22 10:14:56 +0000 UTC View PostI didn't expect so much interest in the german comics, but they were gone faster than expected. Anyway, we'll print more, but it'll come with some waiting time.
You can still order the english ones though :)

All comic orders have been sent! Depending on where you live, it might take a while to arrive. If nothing arrives at all or anything is wrong with your order, just send me a message, we'll sort it out :)
Because of all the packing, signing and such, the patreon doodle's are a bit delayed, I apologize for that. But I'm right back at it now :) Thank you for your patience.
If only I had some assistans lol
