Hi everyone! If you arenβt already familiar with me and/or my work, allow me to take a moment to introduce myself. Iβm Jen, an Eisner Award winning comic artist and illustrator, primarily known for my covers on titles like Wonder Woman and She-Hulk. I began my freelance art career back in 2016, and never imagined at the time that Iβd be here todayβmy only goal back then was to get to a place where I could quit my day job and make enough of a living to not have to go back to it. Within just a few months, I had built up a solid list of clients and managed to land some exciting opportunities that cemented my path. It wasnβt long before many aspiring artists began to reach out to me for career advice and industry questions, and Iβve always done my best to answer every email, but it became a challenge to get back to everyone. So, in an effort to help other artists achieve their career goals, Iβd made it a habit to share as much insight and information as I could publicly.
However, over the last few years my main social media accounts have grown to difficult-to-manage sizes, and the personal interactions I was able to have with fellow creatives and fans alike have become increasingly rare. On top of that, itβs near-impossible to find any kind of archive of resource posts Iβve made over the years (despite some awesome folks going to great lengths to create everything from twitter moments to google spreadsheets of them!). So I decided to create JENBARTEL.CLUB πβ¨ to have a dedicated, organized area for everything from tutorials to Q&As to wip/sketch shares to final art process posts. My goal is not only to share weekly updates with you, but to also create a community space where we can actually chat and get to know each other. If youβd like, you can become a member by clicking the Subscribe button below:
Even outside of Members-Only posts, Iβll be regularly posting inside looks at what Iβm working on, along with process videos, brushes, and step-by-step walkthroughs. Buuuut, for Club Members, Iβll finally be sharing some behind-the-scenes looks at that FF7 Artbook Iβve been working on for uhβ¦ forever, nowβwhich meansβ¦ there will be spice π₯. All Access/Founding Members will also be entered in a monthly raffle to win a piece of original art by yours truly that Iβll be mailing directly to each winner, along with a surprise gift. π€«π Last but not least, Iβve been Iβve been working on a ton of projects that I canβt wait to share with you all. Thanks so much for sticking with me all this time. ππΌπ
Exciting Jen! I am here for your Final Fantasy Spice and CSP brushes! :D
