Home of the Lithium Comic, One Human Being, and other absurdly sexy comics. Plus boobies, bums, willies, stuff like that.

Okay before we get into my own updates: RATHER MAGNIFICENT ALERT! New comic is gonna maybe be out before Christmas?!?!! This spicy update from Tira Yugen suggests it’ll be out very soon! Oh lordy … … wait … 90% sure it’ll be before Christmas?!?!! THAT’S NEXT WEEK YA PSYCHO! … ahem. Aaanyway, let’s all calm…
Okay, as you may know, before I start another comic in a series, I try and improve the characters with any ‘niggles’ that annoyed me in the previous comic. So development of Sophie is going alright after all; here are some development renders: ^ new Sophie on the left. You can’t tell the difference from…
Thought I’d check in, have a quick look at Tira Yugen’s rendo profile and OH yes, yep. More comics in the pipeline, it seems. Goody! I mean I would act more surprised, but … you know. Then I thought I’d check in on my Deviantart, and woweee … 949 notifications. Huh, personal best. Ah well…
Okay two things … firstly, did anyone download the zipped PNG version of Lithium 13 and … could they please re-up it somewhere so I can share it again? Update: this is now done! Thank you wonderful people! No, no, haha, I did not just randomly delete my original copy of the pages! Hahaha, haha…
Comic #13 is HERE!!!! It’s out, it’s free, and it’s very, very juicy. I don’t know if I’ve gone too far this time, but there are SEX SCENES in this one! I know, thought I’d push the boat out. The sex boat. It only took a mere 18 months to produce this one, but as…
I hear what you’re saying, and what I hear is boobies boobies boobies. So I opened up the old Skybloom scene files and updated them so they’d work with the latest version of the 3D software I’m using/wrangling. So here are some test renders FOR SCIENCE ^ this was the first…
Comic update: I’ve finished the flipping renders! I know, smashing through it. It comes in at around 130 pages – just some speech bubbles to do and then BAM! It’s gonna be next Lithium out! Woop woop! Excited about this one, had a little read through just now, did a little giggle and a little…
Okay let’s have some good news instead of squinting at our screens at the political situation in America or the environmental / arable crop situation in Spain; the next Lithium comic is a-cooking!! I’ve done 110 pages now, and there’s maybe 10-15 pages to go, yayy! Blimey, it’s been ages this one, with Madiy &…
*There’s an egg in my head* *Sshhhh, me too* As the 3D software I use continues to get patched in stages, and I’m driven to hide people’s haircuts just to make the software usable, I have come up with a temporary solution: baldness. I simply take every [problematic] hair-growth object in the 3D scene and…
The nice thing about people buying me 3D scenes for my comics (thank you), is its made some space for my mind to wander a bit. And sometimes it’s fantasy, sometimes it’s … hold on what would I actually want if I were to retire and sit on my arse for months at a time?…
Okay, help me with a conundrum. Basically, I was wondering about weaving in a mini plot including HG Wells and young Mary Poppins, time-travelling into the Lithium series. They could visit a bunch of scenes from STFW and Grace etc as well, a sort of post-Lithium homage to all things STFW-universe. BUT then I thought…
… as I tend to do once every few years – just to check where we’re going and that the next comic’s consistent / doesn’t include any plot holes/fauxes-pas that need to be sorted. Anyway, what a lovely comic! I don’t mean like “Wow aren’t I clever” – I mean like it’s far sillier and…
I dropped the soap on the bathroom floor this morning, and WOWEE I did not think such a quick splat could collect quite so many pubes. But here we are, I thought, as I tried to redeem the situation and return the soap to its original form, desperately scrabbling against a torrent, nay a WIG…
I AM STUCK IN BIRMINGHAM. Okay fine, it’s fine, it’s fine. I’m only here for a little while longer, but suffice it to say I am at a work conference and BLIMEY this is not the happiest city centre I’ve visited in all my years. I opted out of some of the conference shenanigans, because…
Quick request before we get into the boobies – does anyone have the iconic HG Wells time machine (pictured) in some basic 3d format like 3DS or OBJ that they can share a download link for please? Don’t email me cos I can’t access my emails – comment below! I’ve googled everywhere and it doesn’t…
You may wonder why my comics production has sliiightly reduced in recent years. Well, for one, there’s no longer a Pandemic on, so regular make-the-most-of-outside life has resumed. But the other major reason is … okay bear in mind I am a functioning adult with responsibilities and duties … the other reason is Minecraft. Anyone…
Okay I realise it might be difficult to follow what’s going on with the STFW [multi-multi] series comics recently, so I thought I’d just mind-dump on where I’m personally at, and what (my personal) broader plan is for the comics universe. I’ve worked on two major series: One Human Being, and Lithium. Amongst those I’ve…
Okay I can no longer log into any Google account, because Google is mean. I don’t think Google has heard of ‘privacy’, so if someone could let them know what it means, I’d appreciate it. Trouble is, I also can’t check my general Sindy email, and so I can’t email the WONDERFUL web host of…
I need your mummy-son advice – see below. But before we get into that, what incredible weather we’ve had, eh?! Except for right now, as if the weather’s declaring NO MORE SUMMER FOR YOU. Ah well, it has generally been blissful and warm, time for lazing about and reading books and watering the garden ……
Hello! Okay just a quickie for a few weeks, as the previous post will have alluded to, I’m starting to realise there’s a big pile of blah blah going on in my head and so I’m Taking Action (advanced) before I totally meltdown, and having lots of lovely time off! Yay! Well done all of…
I’ve just done this stress training thing. Sounds great! EAT THESE BEES Okay maybe it’s more like how to spot stress and help yourself and other people sort it out, cos it can be related to a bunch of … you know. So the first bit we had to do was note down all the…
I’ve discovered that I can make comics much faster if I just chop all the sex scenes out! Genius! I know right? It’s so simple, why didn’t I think of this before?! All the effort is in posing people, especially when there’s two (or three) in close proximity, so from now on; nobody goes within…
Okay … inspired by a little plot-wrangling in a recent comic … ahem … I’ve gone off on a bit of a SIDE MISSION to start making this comic that everyone said they wanted, back when I did a concept comic poll last year. You remember the one. It was a comic about a young…
Okay while doing some important research (aka fannying around on the internet), I came across QUITE the series of filthy letters from hugely acclaimed author of Ulysses; James Joyce. You may have read them, it went viral back in 2010 or something. Ah well, I thought it was worth sharing here anyway because … my…
HELLO! Okay get ready … for the first time in history, I’ve actually removed a scene. I know. And it had boobs in it and everything. Maybe I’m finally growing up? No, can’t be that. Anyway I set the poses up, got the lighting ready, and then went … ‘nope’. It’s a bit like that…
Scifi books are amazing! JakeDude asked me what my top 10 scifi books were, and though I’ve discussed a few books on this blog over the years, it got me thinking and I thought HECK I’ll just open the discussion up. So vote, get involved, gimme your all-time top books too. I’ve read zillions of…
I tend to have these bursts of creativity, know what I mean? Sure you do. And then I spend some of them on my work and get burnout (but working means I can afford food, so … you know … I kinda have to keep doing it), and then I switch off for a bit,…
Okay … the benefit of being on a Whatsapp group with a certain member of the Yugen family is that … oh heck just go and read the latest Deliciously Awkward Family Bubbles comics, cos special editions 4-6 are all out, as freshly flagged in: https://www.renderosity.com/gallery/items/3165922/deliciously-awkward-family-comics-out-now And there’s CONTROVERSY! … dun … dun ……
Okay fine, I’m working on Lithium #13; we’re 15 pages in, and everybody’s naked. Pretty standard plot really; girl meets boy, boy meets alien, alien meets girl and boy and then girl and boy and alien have sex and stuff, get involved in some shenanigans and learn something. Same as all my other comics tbh….
I realised this week that I have made two major, major cock-ups with Kinfolk! The first cock-up is that I based it in 1795, which was a result of me working backwards from an intended next generation of characters (unpublished concept story), and getting the damn maths wrong! Should’ve been more like 1815! Bum! Not…
**Runs in, panting** **Slams comic on the desk** THAT FCKEN COMIC’S HHHEEEERRRRRRREEEEEE!! As per Tira’s announcement, the Rather Magnificent Family bubble comic #6 is out! Woop woop! Well my goodness, they actually … okay no spoilers, but heck just check out the comic. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CHECK OUT THE COMIC AAAAHHHHHH Tira’s download…
Weeell … I was going to start Lithium #13 with Jack having sex with Skylar, like this: … where she’s fallen asleep in a weird position, and he wakes up and is like “OOH … HELLO!”. And I initially wrote it like that because I had that pose of hers in my head and I…
Thanks to Shades for signposting, and to Fred Brown for spotting this: – Tira, of Rather Magnificent fame, has moved to Renderosity for updates – and it looks like the much-anticipated 6th comic is … actually … on the way! **SQUEEEE!** Wait, is it squee or sqwee? Squie … skwee … hmm. This is what…
I’ve had a chance to use my reasonably mighty cerebellum (we all have one) on the Great Poser Problem™️ and have realised I can just work around the software issue by hiding people’s hair, creating scenes frame-by-frame, and then un-hiding all the hair and ploughing through the rendering timeline that way. So … it’s not…
It seems that, in between real life and work and some pretty big changes that have happened recently, I can’t see Lithium being completed for a few years. Don’t panic! Read this blog post in full before anyone goes nuts. Sure there’s only two comics to go, but based on (1) recent changes to Poser,…
Frustrated by my recent experience of Poser, I thought I’d just make a new thingy with one of the 3D scenes someone bought me (thanks for the treehouse, ASF0_render!), so here are a bunch of random renders. Basically I threw Jilly into the scene in her default pose, put Marcus’s sports top and Charlie’s shoes…
I was talking to someone yesterday, who said their meditation method focused on reducing their own suffering. Now … bear with me … on the face of it, this makes sense, I mean who wants to suffer? Except … still bear with me … I completely disagree with that philosophy. If we prioritise the removal…
Okay this is a mini rant about Poser, apologies if you’re on the production team for this software and have inherited this vast decades-long nest of bug fixes and patching. I’ve been using it for years, and sure it always gets better in terms of functionality, and the original ergonomics concept alone makes it 10x…
When I started making comics, I thought I’d upload them to a couple of comics websites, see if anyone would read them, I was hoping maybe like a hundred people might like my work (hey we all need validation at some point). Then after a couple of years it seemed like the work was going…
One of my favourite writers, Richard Rohr, made some interesting observations about Homers Odyssey, and you see a little of my discussion of the same themes in OHB comics 7 & 8, as well as Lithium, and … well, all my comics let’s face it. Rohr points out that in the Odyssey, Odysseus leaves Ithaca…
HELLO! As you may have noticed, I’ve been having a bit of a hiatus from blogging, as every person in my particular line of work formed an orderly queue and begged me to make wonderment flow from the very valves of Hell itself. That’s fine, that’s fine, we love it when our workload doubles, don’t…
Well, here it is! I wrote the script about a month ago, and I made a couple of test renders and thought … yep. Let’s smash this comic out over the Christmas period because it’s a beaut. And now it’s done, I’m really happy with it! So here it is, for free. A quiet seascape,…
Just tidying it up … … okay fine it needs speech bubbles on like 40 pages. But that won’t take long. *Checks work calendar for Zoom meetings where I can get on with comic creation in the background* … nope. Won’t take long.
By the pale cones of mercy … new comic out next week! Probably! Don’t quote me on it, stuff happens, but all being well it’ll be out soon 🙂 It’s a heady mix of post-renaissance whimsy and pre-industrialisation … errr … nudity. I’ve done about 150 pages so far and there’s just a little tidying…
Okay, I’m enjoying putting this latest thing together. It’s a little silly, and forms a kind of chronological root to the whole STFW / Lithium universe thing. And you can probably see a little resemblance to Lithium’s Jack in the image above. So quick update: I’ve done 106 pages, think there’s maybe 50 to go,…
Howdy all! Well, one of the all-time great Christmasses, that was for me. And you know when you’ve weathered a few storms you can really appreciate when things work out. I mean sure, I cocked-up the Christmas pudding and sure our New Year plans got bollocksed all to heck and we had to come up…
