Home of the Lithium Comic, One Human Being, and other absurdly sexy comics. Plus boobies, bums, willies, stuff like that.
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…
(Have a non-spoiler render… ) OK I’ve finished all the rendering & layout for Lithium #4, and going over it to find typos / improve images, I keep lolling at the jokes. Like I very nearly just gobbed a mouthful of coffee on the keyboard just now! Is this normal? Does anyone else write stuff…
You know when you log into your email and you have a hundred emails from people asking for permission to access a *public* document, that the system isn’t working. Google Drive is a nightmare for some people, they accidentally delete shared folder contents (apparently), and can’t find the download link for PDFs (apparently). And if…
This is what test renders look like – rather than render a whole scene I’m often just rendering the bit that’s hardest to get right, to save time it’s normally just the face (cos expressions are hard), or the ‘bits’ that are touching (to make sure there’s no pokethrough / overlap or whatever), like fingers,…
I (very) often get asked this. Why are they free, what’s your patreon, how can I send you money etc etc. The reason I give them away for free is because life is about substantially more than accruing as much money as possible. I live comfortably enough and I am content with who I am…
… I will never drink again. OK I might but I am getting better at avoiding the bingey stuff – you know the borderline self-harm kinda drinking that seems funny on the outside but isn’t on the inside hahaha good times. I just drink sensible amounts these days. Aaaanyway, ahem … my recovery has coincided…
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…
Can’t believe I published eleven comics in 2019. That’s quite a lot. I think as I get deeper into the comic series plotlines, the comics will probably get a little longer, so I’m unlikely to release eleven in 2020. At least I hope I don’t. Considering this is a random hobby I crowbar into my…
I know it’s an annoying topic, nobody likes to discuss boobs, but it’s a detail that needs to be sorted out. Plus this spacesuit is getting better as I sort the materials. So here’s a bunch of renders … Anyway, question is, do we go for buxom or … you know … believable human? To…
Haha ok ok stop stop! In under a day I’ve had well over a hundred (EDIT: in 2 days I’ve had 300 responses … stop! Stop!) well thought-out submissions to my questionnaire on whether to split the next comic or not, and here’s the conclusion: ultimately it’s summed up by one fan: “Sometimes you want…
Stretchy tops, I mean … they’re basically witchcraft. No matter what way your bread is buttered, male or female or trans or nonbinary, the thing is that little stretchy tops are here to stay. And they’re hot, so there’s that. So here’s a Rainbow Brite (basically choosing things from my own childhood) -themed little top…
Anyone who’s done any 3D will have learnt the lesson that as soon as you add objects your scene rendering time jumps up – add five chairs and things slow down, add three people and you triple the processing maths; human characters are particularly complex. So you’ll probably appreciate this test render. Fifty actual people…
I know what you’re gonna say … I’m spending too much time playing with the Charlie character. Well, maybe. But sorting her clothing is much harder than with Jack, because there are loads of ‘guy’ freebies out there that are normal. Jeans: done. Tshirt: done. Easy. But the female clothing freebies are stupid bloody peephole…
**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…
I just got an email recommending I whatever with ‘incredibly hot playmates’, and I just thought YES, now that would make a good comic title! And then I thought about it a bit and I changed my mind. No, it wouldn’t. Aaaanyway, how’s tricks, internet? Next comic is coming along nicely. I’m now in…
Feedback has been amazing for the recent Lithium Comic 8 – really glad it hit the spot for so many, and also pretty glad nobody’s ranted at me about either the theological stuff or some of the life-y stuff! Yay! Well done, everybody. To be honest, the whole sex buildup since the Lithium series began…
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…
Well I’ve just wasted a night rendering the next comic, because my render PC (Windows 10 Pro), decided to force updates. Logged on this morning and find its both borked itself, and little details like folder view and display settings have reset FOR LITERALLY NO REASON, and I had to get involved with its brain…
I hope you have some good times, wherever you may be, and whatever you may be going through. Here is a picture of a nice squishy blue thingy. Life has its ups and downs, yes, but when we can find the harmony that exists between the highs and the lows, and the freedom from shame…
Ok if you ever thought you’d like to buy me something, I figure now and then I’ll make a wishlist of a few 3D things, that way people can get involved 🙂 So here goes, one little wishlist: Renderosity: https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/bcs/wishlist/?uid=946092 ^ This includes a bunch of stuff I still need for the upcoming comic, so…
It’s Friday, FREE COMIC DAY, and the very final OHB comic is here! Hooray! I’ll be honest, writing a whole series of comics about your own [current] beliefs around the human condition, what makes us us, is pretty difficult! Which is why I didn’t try too hard, and just let it sort of happen. This…
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…
let’s freaking celebrate! I’ve completed the pics for the next comic; and this isn’t just any 50-page weakling, it’s up there with Lithium #7 – it’s like 220+ pages of pure, raw, Sindy. As previously blogged, this upcoming comic is the first time I’ve not tried to explain everything; it’s more dense, more metaphorical, more…
I so want to share tons of renders here but it’d all be spoilers, so it’s … hard. And wet. Oh heck, this next comic is going to be pretty good. You never know, you know? You have this idea in your head, and this script in your hands (and by hands I mean laptop),…
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…
OK ok ok hold on hold on I was racing through the comic but my workplace decided it was a good time to shoot cannonballs at me and sure I can dance around like the furry guy in Kung Fu Panda 3, but it does rather put a crimp on one’s ‘extra-curricular’ productivity, it…
Ok, so slightly awkward confession here, I went down a bit of an internet rabbit hole this week and discovered the joys of … onesies? There’s Rule 34, sure, but I was slightly surprised to find some excellent potential for onesies out there. However, as you may know, porn is rubbish! There’s no love, no…
Ahh, pants. Sometimes comic covers are easy, you just do a render and it’s like YES! THAT’S THE ONE! Then sometimes I just can’t for the life of me figure out what they should be. Or I do a crazy collage like for Telepathic Hentai Tentacle – that cover made sense because it had to…
Hello you lovely humans! Lots of people say they like the humanity in my comics, which means they get the whole human -turmoily thing, the whole awkward, touching, weirdy comicsy thing. Which is kinda why I write them. So I know people’ll get when I say that this summer has been a bit of a…
Comic’s chugging along (updates below), and the world is turning nicely. I don’t know if you’re in a part of the world that’s having a heatwave right now, but I am. It’s hot. Damn hot. As hot as a monkey’s anus. Climbing into bed is like tucking oneself into a just-cooked lasagna. Aaanyway, the next…
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…
Last summer, one or two guys messaged me with warnings galore about how I shouldn’t dare make any kind of political comment in my upcoming comic because all my fans would desert me and nobody would read my comics anymore, and I’d lose literally half of my readership. I mean clearly I ignored the warnings…
Can anyone recommend a free cloud storage thingy? I’ve been using Google Drive but I’m a bit worried they’ll see boobies and think I’m a deviant and ban me and I’ll get the Feds knocking at my door (despite me not being anywhere near America, but you know … I’ve seen movies where they do…
Oh dear oh dear I’m not finding much time to blog about this next comic, because it’s just proved toooo much fun spending the time making it. Sorry about that. Sorry ish. It’s also hard releasing images without giving some of the plot away (and I know how much everyone’s here for the PLOT), so…
Hello! OK so there’s good news and bad news, bad news is I think my rendering machine might be properly bust ~ yes of course everything’s backed up, but the motherboard is literally fried, even though the ram and CPUs are happy; joints and stuff are to blame, and I really don’t want to go…
The Perks of Being a Wallflower was on UK tv recently, so I watched it. Holy shitballs, what a great film! Initially, I thought this is going to be crap American Teen cliche bullshit but NO! I was wrong! Hooray! This blog post includes spoilers of the film, just fyi. One very moving theme they…
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…
Madiy and Crash! New comic out early next week! Renders are all done, bleubies are all ready, thingies and adventures and exclamation marks are all set and raring to gooooo!!!!! LET’S HOPE THERE ISN’T SOME SORT OF AWKWARD SUBTEXT GOING ON HERE EH flip knows what could REALLY BE GOING ON AAARGHHHH. So tune in…
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 ……
It’s here! The greatest Skybloom comic of ALL TIME! Okay there’s only one other comic in this series, but I’m exceedingly happy with this one. It’s 150 pages of silliness, joy, and most of all … yumminess. That’s right. Download it, read it, recover and then let me know what you think! Download the PDF…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Comic Six is now available! Wahoo! Well, what to say about this, eh? A lovely comic for a rainy day. It’s got funny bits, it’s got sexy bits. There’s a little sarcasm and a smattering of bodily fluids. Oh wait that’s all of my comics. This comic sees Jack and Charlie become a little more…
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…
Someone said they wondered what our voyeur neighbours made of all this, and I wasn’t going to bother adding them in (it’s already total mayhem plot), but heck I just couldn’t resist. So there’s a mini cameo in there now. I know, I know, I’m too kind. Comic update: Renders: 99.9% complete (literally just need…
Hello! OK, plan B if my blog dies / Google decide they don’t like me any more (I don’t know why they would decide this, because let’s face it I’m lovely and my comics and blogs are all full of wholesome goodness, but you know, some people are prudes and don’t like boobies and willies…
Okay, we’re 110 pages in to Kinfolk #2, and phewff! Turns out it’s going to be a lovely little voyage, this one. I’ve tried to make quiet moments, sort of enjoy the scenery kind of breaks amongst the silly chats or the nudity [or both] … as I think that was a strength of the…
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,…
I try and be a human, and I do have these amazing sparks of joy and connection … but then it seems everything kinda catches up with me and it all stops and I feel a bit like a paper-thin marionette. Know what I mean? Hey I’ve got it all sussed! I’m amazing wahoo! Oh…
Oh lordy I’ve done that stupid thing of becoming extremely stressed at work and then not realising it and then everything falls apart and I’m left in the middle going THIS IS FINE without quite spotting that my skin temperature has reached a million degrees and my nose has melted onto my lap. No, no,…
Okay look, I haven’t asked for anything 3D for a long time, but I’m just starting to put together the scenery for the next two comics, and there are a few 3D things I will definitely need. So … if you enjoy my comics and would like to help out by buying me a 3d…
Okay, huge news which is inconvenient but I do agree with their decision – Google are phasing out easily accessible adult sites. So I’m going to have to find a new home for this blog. Bummer. Temporary home: Deviantart. So Google have turned on a savage age verification system which means you have to (1)…
Okay I’ve completed over 160 pages-worth of renders; this is going to be a truly epic comic! I mean sure it’s a total shit-storm, but that doesn’t really communicate the extent to which this is a work of total madness, does it, huh? Well, let’s put it this way: the last comic (Lithium #9; 175…
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 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…
OK so having done 138 pages now, I only just worked out what the cover should be, and rendered it out … So here’s a little preview because when the final comic lands, nobody’s going to notice these details as they ravenously consume the comiccy goodness within, so let’s have a calm look, shall we?…
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 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…
Okay … seems this website is having a bit of a hiccup, comments system has borked or something. Posts still say discussion/comments are enabled, and yet nobody can comment or even read comments … very weird, sorry about that everybody. EDIT: fixed it. Turned out it was a plugin being naughty. All I had to…
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…
Woop woop! Ok it’s all done, I’m just going to do a final read-through tomorrow morning when I get a chance, then upload. Eeee! It’s a good one hehehehhh 🙂 Nearly … hhrrhrhrhhhhnnnn …. [Warning: may contain multiple examples of bottom things]
Big thanks to a few people who’ve bought lots from my wishlist recently! Very generous, thank you. Someone commented that I should charge therapy rates for my comics, haha that’s a fine idea! Glad they have some impact in what does seem a rather dark world, especially right now. Lots could be said about these…
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…
