Home of the Lithium Comic, One Human Being, and other absurdly sexy comics. Plus boobies, bums, willies, stuff like that.
Here’s a picture of some naked people with guns. I’m sitting in a trendy cafe working on the comic AS WE SPEAK. Now, I know it’s a trendy cafe because I’m surrounded by bubbly, noisy people wearing lots of crochet and pastels and I know I’m aaaalmost trendy because I’m wearing something very flowery indeed…
Someone sent me a lovely comment recently saying, among other things, “… been following your comics since the old ‘Extreme Fitness Forum’…”. ~ now, though it does sound like the kind of thing I’d call a blog … I don’t actually remember calling anything an ‘extreme fitness forum’, so it must have been a long…
The Lithium Comic #8 is here! I’m proud of this one; although I’d written the structure of it a few years back, I wrote/changed a lot of the detail during a global apocalypse, so … that’s always interesting. Lots happen in this comic, the holidays are over, we learn a ton about our friend Skylar,…
I had this idea that maybe one of our lead characters would have dreams about the other one, adding to the awkwardness. And that maybe they could be humping an anonymous dummy to begin with, which later in the dream was revealed to be the real life person! Hooray awkwardness!!! There’s a sort of theme…
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…
Thought I’d drop the renders that didn’t make it into the latest comic, just for fun. I’ll caption them with what the issue was … >>>In my head this was a reference to the squeezy willy scene back when Charlie’s wearing that green swimming costume, but I realised nobody’d get that reference, and all it…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Phew. What a lot of feedback everyone’s given on the recent comic! Well done, everybody. Comments ranged from “Worst part ever in all comics” to “The best one yet!” – so that’s … quite the range, hahaha! (^ Marks out of 10) Looks like the vast majority of people enjoyed it really – and it…
Just uploading the next comic. ikr? That’s what happens when you fire a shit-ton of top-secret work at the internet; bulk updates baby!!! Hey I don’t seem to able to reply to the kind comments you guys have put on the blog (thank you though; hi Ixes et al!) – but keep it up, I’ll…
So I’m going to be in central London most of next week, doing some silly project. Meanwhile, I’ll also have my laptop with me, and I’ll also be doing a very very serious project. With boobies. I’m doing that thing where I … actually I’m not sure how to describe it. Maybe part of reality…
The frickin next Rather Magnificent Family Bubble comic is only flipping OUT! For FREE! In the REAL WORLD! Ahead of CHRISTMAS! Goodness me, what a week, what a week. Tira’s download folder: https://mega.nz/folder/DPpEhRzI#gulDX6Hjo7dh7c7cRUVA1g Tira’s feedback thing: https://tirayugen.blogspot.com/p/feedback.html Download it, read it, SPREAD it round the internet like a grand SQUIRT of hot molten chocolate PENISES….
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…
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…
OK. Lots of votes for all of the outfits for Charlie; lots of people like the cheerleader outfit and the cami and the ski suit and the jumper but let’s face it … the cheerleader thing is stupid (but it’s not like this is a sensible comic so…), and the cami is the most believable….
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,…
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…
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…
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…
This is the two-hundredth blog post! Woweeee!! I started the blog (with this ^ ridiculous image) in Feb last year, and started churning out comics soon after that. And what a whirlwind it’s been, eh? I have been asked about 200 times if people can give me money, and I have been told about…
Do you like erotic comics? Do you like pure joy?!?!! Well … as a little mid-summer treat, I have just been sent the pre-release draft of The Rather Magnificent Family Bubble part #4, which will apparently be out in a few days – and honestly, it’s brilliant. Tira has used my free orange dress V4…
I just read a fascinating [/batshit-crazy] book [/terrifying sex horror pulp fiction], which was excellent [/scared me to my very horny soul], by a scifi writer called Philip Jose Farmer. I’d read one of his books before, it was about *checks notes* ah yes, Tarzan escaping helicopter megalomaniacs and humping everything from gorillas to rambunctious…
*panting* … *still panting* OKAY QUICK UPDATE! The [total shit] British Government is falling apart! Hoorayyyy!!!! The comic is at 140 pages complete! Hoorayyyy!! The weather is lovely and the wonder of the World is full and mysterious and BURSTING with the quiet music RN! Yesssss!!! Ah, when Boris Johnson gets 48 hours of the…
Oh look! I’ve done a free comic! My goodness! Well, here we are, click the link, download the thing. Done! Download as a single PDF (Or download as a folder of PNGs) This first comic is a gentle introduction of characters and their various foibles. It’s a quiet, awkward dance between the two main peeps…
Lithium 12 is finally complete! It’s a great big, huge, monstrous 167 page adventure, and there’s a ton of stuff that happens … too much to list here, but suffice to say I’m pretty proud of this one, for all sorts of reasons, hehe. It’s funny, silly and … whisper it … there is some…
Aieeeee! OK: Comic pages complete: 118Renders complete to: page 140 ish3D scenes still to create: like … four ish? Not muuuuuch!!! All the sex scenes are done, it’s just chatting and front cover page now yeayyyyy!! Here’s a non-spoiler image, of some … boobs … and someone about to … pick up a gun?…
I’ve discovered that I can make comics much faster if I just chop all the sex scenes out! Genius! I know right? It’s so simple, why didn’t I think of this before?! All the effort is in posing people, especially when there’s two (or three) in close proximity, so from now on; nobody goes within…
Dear Sir or Madam, why must our brains be like this? Why must existence be so painful at times, and so wonderful at others? Could we perhaps find a happy balance, a chummy harmony to dance the days through? I’m feeling a little of the black dog yapping at my heels rn, spending a little…
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…
In the last comic, lots of people were hit in the feels by Mike’s journey. I must’ve had a hundred comments from people saying the same exact thing: this was something ‘other’, way beyond anything that went before. That’s cool, and a huge compliment to my efforts with these comics, thank you. One guy said…
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…
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…
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…
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…
I’ve just looked at the stats for this blog, and judging by the technology (an old Blackberry or a WiiU or an XBox browser …), this tech implies that there are some very cheeky children about the place! If you’re under 18 and are visiting this blog on a Nintendo 3DS or whatever, late at…
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…
It will literally be out tomorrow. It’s all done, just waiting for the cover to finish rendering! WOOP WOOP! I’ll schedule it for Friday morning at 11am (GMT ~ although most of the time google thinks you’re in another timezone so it might be super early or extremely late … basically it will be sometime…
I’m often helped by writing and/or other creative pursuits. It’s funny how it seems pointless at the time (WHY AM I PAINTING PEBBLES) but looking back we begin to see the point (I’m so glad I painted those pebbles, it turned out it was about working through X trauma, and now I’ve thrown them into…
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…
Wow, I’ve been busy haven’t I eh? Yes siree. Forgot about the blog for a minute … OK I didn’t but I’ve taken a few more days than normal to get round to writing anything. First-time visitors to the blog would be forgiven for thinking I’m talking total bollocks right now and have no idea…
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…
Someone commented on the latest comic: … that soldier on page 22 should demand a refund, his armor let a pistol bullet kill him instead of protecting him as it is supposed to do. He is probably too dead to do that, but he most likely is also too stupid to know he is dead. …
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…
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)…
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 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…
Download for free RIGHT NOWWWW!!! The Lithium Comic #9 is here! As we build the series towards a total mayhem crescendo, we follow our heroes on their first space outing, and into the heart of the infamous Moon-Moon secret base itself! Oh noesss!! There’s also a buttload of surprises and great little series-joining-up bits in…
… 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…
I’m just trying to decide on the title… EDIT: ok that’s done, it’s just crunching the pdf, then I’ll upload 🙂 Should be ready in an hour or so! YAYAYAYYY!!!
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…
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…
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…
Anyone who’s written anything knows at some point you have to make up new stuff. This is one of those times, and to be honest it’s quite good fun! We’re fitting a legacy/origins storyline into the Star Trek universe, which coincides with the STFW universe too, but at this stage (this stage being 2020, as…
A sneak peak at the imminent comic. There’s a running theme of Charlie gettingherself off every time anything happens. Well. You know. Art imitating life … Well what an extraordinary response to the previous post; I’ve had 140 comments in the previous day or two. Obviously anonymous forms are the way to go! Feeling very…
HELLO! Sorry for the radio silence everyone, literally my workload has been nuts, haven’t had time to catch breath let alone log onto fun porny spacey comiccy niceness. Thanks for the comments – sorry if people worried. I’m fine and healthy, just totally, totally knackered! Seems society has split into two camps; people who are…
Comic five is here! Wahoooo! In our last comic, we learnt the dark family secret that mean aunt Karen had been hiding. Tsss, that woman. Our young heroes managed to survive the news, but now need to figure out the next tentative steps in this already controversial relationship. Fingers crossed it goes well, eh? Download…
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?…
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…
Just thought I’d pop in to say almost nothing whatsoever! Hooray! Here are a bunch of renders picked completely at random from this ridiculous blog! Hooray! Okay, maybe not picked completely at random. I’m wondering if we made the toxic masculinity points clearly enough with that guy above, whether we need to revisit him?…
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…
I’m ploughing along merrily, and testing lighting briefly as I zap another batch of 3D wonderment into my computer’s poor render queue, and the little machine winces noticeably at me. Don’t worry lil’ fella, it’ll all be over soon. Couple a’ weeks. Have to admit, I enjoy this phase of the comic creation process; you’ve…
Everybody relax. That whole Sabbath principle seems to have been lost on the world. Actually, it seems to have been lost on me, I’ll be honest. You know that thing where you start explaining something, and really it’s because you’ve only just realised it yourself and you’re like AH … YES … I SHOULD EXPLAIN…
… it’s called *checks notes* … The Hydrogen Comic, or something like that. Molybdenum? Manganese? It’s some element … got a few electrons orbiting with each other, and then a third electron in another orbit. Huh. It’s almost as if … anway. I’m working on Calcium Comic 8, and wouldn’t ya know, I’ve just spaffed…
Well. Well then. Huh. It will be out this week. Probably not tomorrow or Thursday, but definitely by Friday! Wahooooo! Another thanks to the people who bought me 3D props a few weeks back – a few of them make it in near the end of this comic. Couple of haircuts, a jumpsuit and a…
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…
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…
OK I’ve made a decent start on Lithium #6, but it’s a long comic so don’t hold your breath; things are hectic at the beginning of a new year & this may take a while. I did notice on a forum somewhere (I googled my name, as you do), that lots of people think Lithium…
