Occasionally I indulge in a little gaming and thought I’d mention one I’ve been playing recently. I’m certainly not a big gamer so do feel free to suggest other beautiful / moving games that you’ve found. Anyway this is one of those that has drawn me in to play over and over again. I’m not…

I was prompted to think more on the topic of Limitarianism after an interesting exchange with Alex (thanks Alex). So here’s a little further thought-wrangling. Steps to improve the world:  Make an arbitrary limit to the absolute wealth that any one human can hoard, let’s start with £1B because if you’re not happy with £1B,…

There are lots of things to love about the country I currently find myself in. But then there are lots of things I could get quite anxious about as well. Our march of gammons following far-right adolescent Tommy Robinson was a concern. Our seeming inability to spot the problems with Islamophobia is another one. I…

One of my perennial problems in making comics, is the apparent age of any of the characters. In a coming-of-age story (which my comics are often about), getting close to that ‘first time’ feel, without crossing that boundary of “Hold on, this is depiction of under 18s” … is pretty difficult. How old are fictional…

Who knows what to do, eh? All of this **gestures vaguely** going on. It’s almost as if our powerlessness is okay, is part of us. And all we really need to do is to be us. People who care about people. People who when grievance politics comes on the radio … we switch the radio…

It’s a funny thing, money. Sometimes I’ve had it, sometimes I haven’t. One thing I’m really glad to have learnt early on is that when I’ve had absolutely tons of it, though it has provided ‘stuff’, it hasn’t correlated with my deep happiness/contentment with life. And sure I love to spend it, sure. For reals. Comfort…

(Did anyone notice that Catan reference in the second Kinfolk comic? No? Ah well, doesn’t matter, just my ’tism being the ’tism.) Okay anyway, I think I may have found Eden and I thought it important to report back to the internet. In the actual real world, I’m currently sitting on a creaking leather chair…

Always a fan of Jerry Seinfeld (although I guess there’s a pretty strong chance that particular sitcom donger appears in the Epstein files … let’s not get into that), there are a couple of classic moments I always loved in that series; (1) SERENITY NOW! Shrieked by Ben Stillers father will always hold a warm…

3rd of Feb, I wrote this: … 4th of Feb, first time ever, saddest boy on the planet apparently wrote this:   … at least we know he reads good blogs 👌 Don’t worry about it, mate; we’re all on a bit of a journey. Happy Friday, everyone! 🍻

One of my all-time favourite Americans (who’s still alive), Richard Rohr said “In order to transcend what we are, our old self has to be destroyed”*. And the problem with any destruction, of the ego, of the old ways, is that it’s a bit of a painful process! We know this on a personal level,…

I’m thinking of making a short comic about what happens when someone thinks they can buy happiness, but it turns out they so obviously can’t. I always enjoyed that great scene in The Office, when the thick bros of the office eagerly fawn over the resident power-douche, saying “He could have any woman he wants”,…

Hi everyone! How’s your 2026 going?! Mine’s going great. This month I went down a few pretty dark rabbit holes with my 3D rendering and potential new storylines and then I … took a few steps back, hehe. Ever notice that? That you can escalate in terms of the booby stuff you look at (and/or…

Ho ho ho! Merry new year, one and aaaaalllll!!! I’ve been ILL all holidays which, on the face of it sounds very bad, however it has somehow managed to be one of the all-time best Christmases anyway. Perhaps it was that my (fairly minor) spate of illness was just in that sweet-spot where it was…

Feels good to be together, doesn’t it? Snuggled up in bed, early-morning light giving that blue glow through the sheets. Casual glass of wine from the night before, offered giggling to a mouth already half-full of croissant. Together is good. Heck, I remember when I could travel all around Europe without the slightest hint of…

After including an exclusively red-headed family in Kinfolk, based on someone I knew at primary school, I was reminded just how much I really do love ginger hair! What a beautiful thing our species is gifted with, eh? Quite right. And our wonderful redheads are hardly well represented by the slightly grotesque Thomson family ……

As mentioned in the comic, the Rumina character was actually given away years back by a generous content creator – so really I’m just passing on my lighting and materials settings (and some custom body morphs) to make this character into my ‘Rumina’ doll. Two characters included, should be everything you need in the runtimes;…

… boobies! No wait, that’s not it. Reminds me of … probably my favourite moment from that zombie comic, was our guy waking up after the dream and exclaiming ‘Vaginas’ haha! Not sure why that particular bit tickled me, but … anyway, ahem. So yes, Christmas is approaching once more. Our favourite absurd Roman Empire…

You may have noticed a couple of clangers in the final Lithium comic, hopefully they didn’t get in the way of your enjoyment of it. And as someone commented; “What happened to you? There were never such serious mistakes in the last 54 comics.” Well … it’s a good question. What did happen to me?…

Ello you loverly lot!! Golly, so the Lithium series is finished, eh? I just read it back through, and what a delightful little story it was, eh? I thought I’d highlight this little moment in the final comic – I’d always planned to have Karen’s walk of death down a corridor decorated with Rembrandt’s work…

Okay I have a bit of a tradition of choosing vaguely nice page numbers to complete my comics on, like I’d be happy with 56, 128 or 69 obviously, but 53? No. 141? Non. 179? NEIN! So I’m rather pleased to announce that the very final Lithium comic, released by probably the end of this…

Who’s got two dicks and had a small part in Lithium comic #10? This guy! Girl? This dude! Free giveaway, full characters for poser, based on V4. I’ve zipped it all up – password is twodicks Download → I mean … nobody might really want these characters but heck you can own a real part…

A few weeks back, BobC commented about Jilly’s top lip from Kinfolk; and although that may seem like a strange and random thing to notice, I thought I’d write about it because heck it’s actually an important little detail I’ve worked on for some time! Bear with me, there are lovely boobies in this blog…

Serious comic update! Okay, the final Lithium comic is at 170 pages, and I have a bunch of renders done, so in real terms we’re well past 170 pages. It’s a big comic, let’s face it. And even bigger news: I’m currently working on the final scene. Yup. It’s funny really; for anyone who’s worked…

Get them while they’re hot! Being the kind soul I am, I thought I’d give them away for free – Jilly and Ernest characters for V4, you’ll need the software (ie. Poser 3D) but apart from that they’re complete characters. I’ve just bundled it up in one big zipped folder, including dependencies – I mean…

Okay I’ve started packaging up some 3D characters – I’ll share them on this blog soon so if you’re into 3D content, check back! There’s also a few already out there – check the downloads now and then. Pictured above is one of the very earliest development Charlottes I created, based on V4. I think…

Okay I’m ploughing through the final Lithium comic, like a … plough through a … ploughable … yoghurt? Also, as I’ve been producing it and going through the Lithium lore, I was pondering this whole thing about the Narnia series – you know there’s all these references to The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe…

Important news: comic update! Okay so I did something I never normally do today – I pulled a ‘sickie’, and didn’t bother to go to work. I never do that normally, disagree with the whole thing of pretending you’re more ill than you are. Very bad, don’t do it. Naughty. No. But in my defence…

People keep whining at me to comment, so I’ll get it over with. I don’t know the guy Kirk, so why would I place judgement on the assassination, either way? Is it necessary to judge an assassination as politically ‘right’ or ‘wrong’? Wtf is going on? Listen, I’m sorry to have to say this, but…

Okay, maybe I was wrong about the La Femme 3D character – having only last week whined about how bad the character is, Tira Yugen politely whispers “Hold my beer”, and has just released some character WIPs that demonstrate what a great figure La Femme is after all … daaaamn. I stand corrected. I was…

I suppose my problem with racist marches in England, is it’s always people who clearly don’t have any friends who are much different to them. Just a sea of white faces and outfits from Sports Direct. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love Sports Direct, but where we see homogeneity, we see a problem….

So just to catch everyone up; about 100 years ago there was an arson attack on the German parliament building, which added to the general chaos and made a lot of people feel very scared. Generally what happens next is pretty clear: Ordinary politician: “This is awful, we all need to work together to promote…

Here’s a selection of some of the boobier images uploaded to this blog over the years, because I figure there will be a lot of people out there who would prefer a break from some of the absolute political jackassery going on all round the world rn, and didn’t come to this particular blog for…

Alright listen, I love 3D characters, sure. But having used many over the years, I still keep coming back to Victoria4, or ‘V4’, which was designed in about 2006. And I do give new 3D models a chance, you know, I try different ones when they come out. But they suffer basic things, that I…

Always entertaining, making these comics. The render above is just a lighting test really, it isn’t going to make it into the comic. But I thought I’d blog it up because, as mentioned in the previous post, you get some random cross-section, and bam! Quite the eye-waterer. When you’ve been humping your fictional 3d Ken…

“Can you tell what it is yet?” … awww, I used to love Rolf Harris. Whatever happened to … oh. Oh dear. Oh, Rolf. A little too handsy with the kids, eh? Tssss. Aaaaaaanyway, yeah so the greyscale image above is a 3D cross-section that made me chuckle, as I was zooming about the room,…

While reading Oblomov’s updates to their extraordinary STFW wiki (serious props to Oblomov again), I happened across the Music section. For a few years I had wondered about making a sort of STFW playlist on Spotify, but the reason I didn’t, was I’d never remember what music references there had been – but hey presto!…

Can people stop saying “All politicians are the same”, please? As someone who has worked directly with politicians for a few years now, I can say … they are very definitely not the same. People’s real root values vary from one person to the next, and in my experience, true legends constantly rub shoulders with…

Apparently there’s new rules in the UK for age verification of adult websites, meaning I might have to close this site? Hmmm. Hopefully not. I have no idea how to apply age verification stuff on this website – especially not for free, anyone know of WP plugins etc I could use to block the site…

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…

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.”…

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,…

Okay I’m at the ‘adding details’ part of creating the first few Lithium scenes ready for the next comic’s rendering to start in earnest … I say ‘start in earnest’, I’m not sure I can guarantee it’ll be in earnest, considering what lovely weather we’ve been having recently, but still, you get the point. Lithium…

**Rushes in** *Grabs lip balm* *Slams a few renders down* ^ original skin, gone a bit weird with software updates   ^ nice new skin but accidental frankenstein mode heheh     ^ ahhh, much better (Thought you might wonder what our heroes were up to. Sitting in the bath and filling it too far,…

Oh, this isn’t a new comic dropping, btw. Don’t get too excited. I’ve been tweaking the final Lithium comic script and stuff, and pretty proud of where this takes us, this one. It’s also been interesting to open old scene files and update the settings – see where the rendering has progressed in the last…

Okay listen, listen … what if you referenced the plot of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, but applied it to a young man in a bad situation? Great idea, right? Weeeell … hmm. This idea might be a bit silly. Regular readers of my work will realise I’ll probably weave in some silliness, and some…

Someone commented on this blog a while back, saying I shouldn’t cover drug usage in my comics, as that’d be “a bit dark, something your other comics couldn’t be accused of” – I mean I know what you mean ~ my comics do seem to have a ‘light’, joyful kinda overall vibe about them, but…

Holy smokes, I was just searching for an image from OHB as I couldn’t be bothered to find my comics hard drive, and I’ve stumbled upon someone putting together a pretty comprehensive-looking guide to the STFW comics universe! Great work to whoever is doing this (‘R0’? ‘Oblomov’? Who knows who the author is, comment below…

Okay, get ready for a mini (and fairly overdue) rant. As you may have noticed from my comics, I think about things, I have thoughts, one might even notice … I do have a brain. In fact, in the real world I’m a pretty well experienced thinker, paid reasonably well to be a multi-faceted specialist…

What makes this the great big update?!?!!?! Okay nothing, I just noticed I’ve been so snowed with work I haven’t had time to indulge my slightly wankier self for a bit, and have left this poor blog, and the associated imaginings to gather dust ~ sorry about that. However! I’m back. I have ten thousand…

I thought this’d be funny, make a big-donged alien creature, maybe have it knock on the airlock door of the colony in Skybloom … and then I thought … nah. Anyone read that comic where a teen girl humps her pet? It’s … [googles] … called Dark Rift by Epoch – anyway I quite enjoyed…

Goodness, what an active lot you are!! We had nearly 150 votes in 24 hours, which is quite extraordinary for a Tuesday/Wednesday morning. There are major companies who dream of that kind of interaction. Mwah-ha-haaa … boobies. Anyway thank you, everybody. Funnily enough, there was rather a clear winner for our cover vote, and being…

Okay here’s a few test covers which I tried for the first Kinfolk comic. And then I want you to help me decide which cover to use for the second comic (out soonish). Comic #1 cover tests: ^ I thought this was a strong contender because I just liked the layout. Then I thought the…

It’s always nice, passing the sixty-nine page mark. Perhaps because I always giggle. And then have to remind myself I’m a functioning adult, with lots of qualifications and substantial proof that I really really am a functioning adult. I promise. Just a … a special type of functioning adult, who giggles at the number 69….

Okay we’re 35 pages complete of Kinfolk #2, and I’m just out of the first scene and last night I made some different setups – like posing the characters in different scene/lighting situations, ready for the next bits of the comic. This is the fun part really – getting my Barbie and Ken dolls into…

… I honestly can’t decide. Help me decide. I slightly don’t want to do Lithium, because it’s the last one and I sort of don’t want that series to ever end. It will, and I’m not writing in more Lithium comics because it does need to end – but its been a fun ride and…

Happy new year, one and all! Progress is steaming ahead on the next Skybloom comic. In fact I’ve done nearly 100 pages, and we’re already at the last scene! You know what it’s like at the beginning of the year; everyone’s forgotten what their jobs are and nobody does anything, so I’ve been busy riding…

Have an amazing few days, whether at home alone or abroad in a huge pile of humans. Wherever you find yourself, I wish you kindness, gentleness and peace! And tiramisu. And a delicious stout. And a mincepie. A good book. Champagne, of course; goes without saying. At least one cheese tsunami. Pigs in blankets, perhaps…
