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…

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?…

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 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…

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…

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 ……

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

It’s interesting [to me] how, if we fully light a scene, it can look fake and boring. But if we remove lights, leave lots of shadow, it all sort of pops more. I think Caravaggio was probably onto something. And maybe that’s one of the things that makes ‘vintage’ porn so much more interesting to…

Honestly, honestly. It’s been two weeks hasn’t it? Yeah sorry about that, I haven’t lifted a finger on 3D comics, sure. And it’s not that old excuse of being ‘busy’ that’s kept me off the 3D comics, I could’ve been more busy, it’s not busyness it’s more something else. I’ve been getting counseling. And yes…

I just spent an hour talking to a Jehovah’s Witness, as we do occasionally, eh? Thing is, I have some very close friends who were brought up in Brethren/JW/Mormon households, and now in their late-30s/ early-40s, are only just really getting free from some of the truly damaging concepts these poor dudes get in their…

Been thinking recently about my role in other people’s lives. Like I’ve been clear in my comics about my own trauma and the various paths we take to believing we are worthy of love / towards freedom. But sorting out ourselves is not the end of the story, is it? Because we’re not islands but…

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…

HOT OFF THE PRESS! Okay I’ve received one almighty heads-up that our dear friend-in-common and fave author, Tira Yugen has finally had enough and ditched the mighty Gogggle in favour of Tumblr … (also Goggle but hey I won’t mention it if you don’t). So … go there for updates I guess > https://www.tumblr.com/tirayugen *Drums…

Okay, Colony comic’s neeeeearly here! It’s 142 pages, all but the last 10 or so have speech bubbles all done. I just need to take my time reading through and making sure I’m happy with the way it’s going in terms of ethics/vibe/easter eggs, things like that. So a little about it; I’m really pleased…

Well good news I’ve flipping-well basically almost finished a whole comic! Hooray! I didn’t go with the reunited twins -themed one this time, because that one hadn’t yet found its feet in terms of the completed plot and I prefer not to charge off creating something in 3D if the script doesn’t yet have its…

Okay I seem to be PLOUGHING through the Colony comic, even to the extent of maybe approaching figuring out what to do with it in terms of releasing the first comic, or how I’m gonna chop it up into smaller comics etc etc. First thing is I kinda need the wellness colony suite on the…

Look, it’s very simple … okay fine, I’m procrastinating from Lithium by developing the Backyard twin characters, and I’m procrastinating from that by making another *checks notes* twenty pages of the Colony comic, and now I’m procrastinating from that by blogging about procrastinating on it. But yesterday I read through the Colony script and it’s…

Just wanted to say thank you! Thanks everyone for your comments in the recent vote thingy, some wonderful thoughtful responses in there from a wonderful readership! Well done all. So believe it or not, I am actually going to go with the flow and focus on the comic that pretty much everyone went for in…

Well, never one to be absolute about anything, I’ve been thinking about the Barbie film and its various nuances. Those problematic bits did get to me after a few days, I’ll be honest. It’s still excellent, and it’s still very very funny, but it does seem to be a film making points about toxic masculinity…

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…

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…

Um yah. Thought I’d log into e-hentai for the first time in years and years, turns out the comics I uploaded there have been doing a roaring trade. See bar graph, and although it looks like they tail off, I completely stopped uploading comics there in 2020 (other people upload them since then), so these…

Stuck for something to do this weekend? Well, can I interest you in an entire comic universe?! Excellent. This is just a heads-up, as a few people have asked about how to download my comics … I finally got round to updating the 🤌💋 Comics & Downloads page this week, so it’s worth having a…
