Haters! Lovers! HHHHUUUMANNNSSSSSS

This is mostly a bunch of renders with our young couple to test new lighting and skin. And a massive rambling discussion on the topic of hate and love as well, sure, sure. I had a really interesting few chats with some very difficult humans recently, and the wonderful thing I discovered, is that love…

Misery and joy

Just occasionally you do a piece of work and you can step back and go “yes”. Tap-tap Know what I mean? Even your harsh inner critic has to shut the f#ck up and nod gently. For that brief moment, your periods of self hatred or lack of confidence or imposter syndrome or inferiority complex or…

The Fappening

Stuck at home? Good. We’ve been asked to sit around and wank. Playing right to my skillset, there. Annoyingly, I have a slightly need-to-do-it sort of job, so I have been (and will be) working like a banshee for a good while; this is the first real, solid hour I’ve been free since the last…

Goodnight, my little cuntie

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…

Oh … I’ve nearly finished … woops

OK basically, I’ve nearly finished the rendering for Lithium #6. And I’ve done half the pages. So … it’s not going to be this week but it’s going to be soon! Yay! Without giving too much away, it’s freaking hot, this one. That’s the trouble with investing so much energy into developing characters and scenarios,…

Crashy & mad

So I’ve written Madiy & Crash to the finish – turns out there’s only two more comics to this mini series, and although it takes a pretty serious turn for the worse (don’t worry, that’s not a spoiler, it’s almost certainly not what you think … or if it is, it’ll be ages before we…

Cover reveal …

Haven’t quite finished that dang final scene yet, but I have had a chance to race through a bunch of making the speech bubbles, and my-oh-my, there’s some silliness in this one, I can tells ya.  See photoshop layers image, lol. Anyway, there’s a cover preview below – the final cover of Lithium Comic #11…

One two … one two … this is just a test

My word, Twitter’s annoying, isn’t it? I’ve just hooked up IFTTT from this blog to current [rubbish] username @SindyAnnaJones3 (now bust) – but Twitter keeps locking me out and has managed to set me up three times with the wrong details so now I can’t edit the handle Tsssk, ah well perhaps it’s not meant…

Droids

  OK fine, I’m working on the next comic. FINE! I admit it. I say ‘working’, it’s not really working really is it? It’s procrastination from my actual workload.  Which is substantial. Ah well, let’s hope my boss doesn’t find this blog. Only kidding I don’t have a boss; as we all know I’m a…

Staring into beauty

HELLO the internet. Well, gosh it’s been a few weeks eh and no doubt many things have happened in your life since we last spoke. How do you feel about that? Hmm, I hear ya, I hear ya. Existence eh? Classic stuff. Personally I have been suffering from what the doctor calls a ‘disease’, which…

The Truth

I’ve been writing about the truth recently, looking at its role in a world of chaos. So I thought I’d share some of my own truth in the upcoming comic. Not lots, I just mean be a bit more vulnerable I guess. As I’ve alluded to in other posts (eg the Perfection Trap), we (I)…

Furries! Furries everywhere!!!

In my bid to take over the world by touching on every kink known to mankind, I thought I’d have a little Furry action in one of the upcoming OHB comics. I mean, knowing me, I might not. But there’s a 92% chance I’ll stick with the idea, having built this character. To be honest,…

The very busy person time.

Hello I am very busy. Why. I mean ideally I’d want to be creating CG characters, plots, you know, faffing about and enjoying the sunshine and fapping and eating cakey-based treats. But no. My work and human responsibilities stuff is just off the charts at the moment and I don’t have time to just be…

Neurodiversity and booby comics

Okay listen, the word ‘neurodiversity’ wasn’t even invented until 1998, and since then we seem to have had **quite** the explosion of our understanding of ourselves. There’s recently been a huge rush of everyone realising they might have [whatever]. And I don’t think it’s bandwagon-ing – it seems an explosion of (1) better testing criteria,…

Don’t fear the Reaper

Interesting that I’ve had a good few bits of feedback from people saying the moment with the henchmen in the latest comic was the most touching / got them in a deep place. I know what you mean, having the lowest-of-the-low henchmen mercenary type people be wonderful to each other is a bit special/unusual. I…

Language, Timothy!

Someone rightly pointed out that I put a grammatical error in Skybloom #2, and it got me thinking about language and our journeys so I’m turning it into a blog post! (This blog isn’t really about grammar, don’t worry.) On page 39, the phrase “There was a naturalness to Sophie and I ….” should be…

Caught by a dumb inflatable

The interesting thing about inflatables is they appear to be large and impressive, but when they do finally pop, it turns out they were just flabby plastic, full of air. So weird.   Deep breath … “We’re sick of experts!!!” **blow** “They’re taking our jobs!”  **blow** “I beat China all the time. All the time.”…

THE SCARAB OF DESTINY

You know how I like to do Easter Eggs, ok? Both chocolate and nerd-reference variety. Well … this is the Scarab of Destiny. Bear with me … Basically, rather than add a single Henchman/Trooper to a 3D scene at a time, I created this Poser file whereby a whole Fireteam is slaved to a single…

Bleak scifi scenes! Yeayyy!!

Gotta love the unlimited scope of scifi. This is development of a scene I’m working on; a sort of body-processing plant, complete with glowing fluids and plenty of leftover females. Why? Well, developing the ‘dishonoring humanity’ theme, we need somewhere to be the lowest-of-the-low, you know? Like, somewhere where toxic males are parading about, ruining…

Let’s do some folding

OK my work has calmed down a tiny bit, and I thought I’d show some working for the upcoming comic. Just to show some of my thinking. Basically, I took Charlie’s Rainbow Brite top from an earlier comic (which was, itself made out of a chopped up swimming costume mesh), and stuck a Princess Peach…

Patriarchy and Barbie

So … I saw the Barbie movie. It’s great. Or if you’re troubled by it; it’s a bit challenging, and that’s good. Even better, in fact. Either way, definitely worth a watch. Is it perfect? No. I think it is a bit problematic in places, but that doesn’t detract from the overall message; that no…

The little break

Look, sorry but I’m having a little break from making comics, it seems. So if you wanna have a little break and check the blog again in a month or two, that would make sense. Looking at my many and various creative endeavors over the last few decades (PS. I am extremely old … I’m…

A bit of a boob

Being the genius that I am, I just messed up like 20 renders by not noticing that one of Charlie’s boobs had a custom morph applied when it shouldn’t have – it looked like it was being squidged by an invisible ghost. Anyway, so here’s the patch. Thought it was funny. Basically, tons of singular…

Support act

I’ll be honest, I’ve been taking my time over the development of this comic, because I’m getting to grips with 3D and a new way of rendering scenes, and I think there’s good potential to do some quality renders here. So the characters are being kitted out with proper outfits and this means … actual…

The morning after … outfit vote!

Having got 80% of the way through comic #4, it turns out it’s been a heavy night for Charlie and Jack, so we need a quick vote for outfits. I know … onerous task, but Charlie’s character does change outfits every 5 seconds, and this is an annoying symptom (having to decide what’s next), but…

Initial character ideas

I wanted to create a comic with just a few characters, and tons of awkward ‘human’ situations. Because they’re the funniest. OK, maybe not funniest but they do happen and are all part of the great wonderful fiasco of real life. And they’re great (like scifi) for getting to the core of what makes us,…

Rooms that are not rooms.

I thought I’d enjoy some quiet time over the summer break and actually get round to reading through my own (and other) comics! Yay! It’s been a pleasant surprise to go through old work like this.  Anyway one thing that amused me was that fact that our favourite kids’ apartment isn’t actually one apartment, it’s…

Behind the scenes …

I thought it’d be funny to show some of my slapdash 3D behind-the-scenes work, show the other side of whatever scenes, from the camera’s point of view, so you can see how badly I cheat when creating these things … Perfectly reasonable for the comic, and then from the opposite angle … OW MY FACE…

Thanks everybody!

Wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the wonderful comments on the recent Lithium comic; people are amazing, aren’t they?! Yes, you are. I’m glad the feedback form asked the “What was your favourite bit?” question, because it always surprises me how people can gain so much from the slightest, tiniest little bits…

The greatest debate of all time … VOTE!

Well I’ve just wasted a night rendering the next comic, because my render PC (Windows 10 Pro), decided to force updates.

Lithium is a metal.

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….

The quiet project

Now and then it’s good to clear the ol’ noggin and work on something completely different. I had planned to plough through Lithium 8 and get it out before Christmas (have completed the first few scenes), but looking at timings and stuff I think that’d just be a bit stressful. So I think I’ll do…

Ok I have a plan.

It’s happening.

^ Barely even counts as a spoiler, but yeah there’s some new people. OK … I have completed all of the rendering for Lithium #10*. The comic will not be quite out this week I don’t think, because I still need to do all the bubbles and put like 20 pages together. But I think…

I just re-read Lithium …

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…

Wrong order, does not compute.

As you may know, if you know me in person, I tend not to … do things in order. Sorry about that. I have basically been working on Lithium #4, and have decided to chop Lithium #3 in half, because it was getting to 110+ pages and becoming ungainly. This is kinda good news for…

Alrighty then, here’s a minor spoiler or two, but they don’t give anything real away, they’re just for funsees, and to be honest there are a million million little tiny gags like this in Lithium #10, it’s *completely* ridiculous. I’m at 90 pages complete, and have been test-reading it along with the music and I…

Last Lithium underway

Okay, whisper it, but … it’s started properly. I wouldn’t announce such a thing unless I meant it – 20 pages now done – and this last Lithium comic has been something of a unicorn due to its slightly not-quite-getting-started status, drifting on and on for some months. As you may be aware. “Ooh, shall…
