Ask the internet! Update: done!

Okay, after everyone’s genius at correctly identifying Pet Elf for me a few months back, I thought I’d ask the internet another slightly awkward what-is-this-comic question!  EDIT: Someone sent it to me so no worries. It was far more dodgy than I remember haha! Ahem. Woopsy. Anyway, as always asking the internet worked a treat,…

Cover vote!

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…

Cover fiasco

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…

Skybloom comic 1: Unprofessional

It’s here. I’ve been taking my time with different concepts, different storylines – I mean if you sit down and try to write the human experience into chunks, it begs the question, where to begin? Well, the OHB series kinda started with self worth, Lithium takes the casual approach to freedom from guilt and control,…

Fresh worlds and new dreams

Thanks everyone for kind comments about the recent Lithium comic, I’m glad people liked it! Someone said that final page (William Bartock’s Yee haa) was like a horror story, haha! It’s a fair point, not sure what the future holds for that cheeky little bugger, lol. Although … Skylar did introduce that doll as “A…

Giveaway #6: Charlotte’s bedroom

Okay this is mostly based on a freebie scene given away by Truform (the patio set), which I customised with a bunch of other freebies to create Charlie’s bedroom for Lithium. So here it is, free and all setup as a Poser scene; includes the dolls, hehe Download for free, password is ‘bedroom‘ You’re welcome…

Omg seriously?! Ginyaaar!!

You know I did that boob mistake thing and had to re-patch all the edited boobies back onto Charlie? I literally just finished photoshopping them all back onto the poor girl, and then realised one of the major props in the scene had been hidden in all those renders. Which changes the lighting completely. So…

2020 is MY year! Not yours, MIIIIIIINE!!!

I keep seeing possessive new years resolutions stuff around the place. 2020 is going to be MY year. MINE. My precioussss … I mean sure it’s good to go into the future with a positive outlook, but I kinda think we need a culture that understands fresh starts isn’t just an annual event; it’s a…

I just re-read Lithium …

… 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…

Hellooooo there …

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…

Kinfolk revisited

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…

Shame and wonder and space things

Time for a good wash.

I made a little bathroom, previewed in an earlier blog. Well, thing is I got carried away and did about 12 renders of these guys sharing a bath and getting more than a little rambunctious. Not that that’s in the comic, I just had the scene and was testing with the characters and … one…

Good news, everyone!

  OK so basically, I’ve done like 155 pages of the next comic, and there’s probably only 20 more to go.

Symbolism, wooOOooOOoooo …

I have this sort-of-policy where I don’t put too much thought into my stories. Know what I mean? Like if you force it, it doesn’t work as well.

Important walk cycle test…

During the comic-creation process, it’s really important to animate characters in looping movement poses to get a real feel for … for … … ok nothing.

Ask the fans: to split or not to split?

Nab0kov’s final phase

In Vladimir Nab0kov’s most famous controversial book, the main character goes through three distinct phases: the approach, the act, and the fallout.  This is often the storyteller’s thing, but I firmly believe there is a forth phase available to all humans: transcendence. We learn from our own story and we change. We change, we become…

Why are my comics free?
