I mean …

… continuing from my previous post, did I realise I’d based Charlie on Jamie Lee Curtis? I did not. Is the evidence extremely compelling? Judge for yourself …  Literally didn’t mean to copy that scene, I promise. It just occurred to me there might be similarities, and …  just … like … take those first…

Fapping heck!

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…

Listen, I’ve learnt my lesson …

… 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…

It downs the blouse, precious

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…

Furries! Furries everywhere!!!

In my bid to take over the world by touching on every kink known to mankind, I thought I’d have a little Furry action in one of the upcoming OHB comics. I mean, knowing me, I might not. But there’s a 92% chance I’ll stick with the idea, having built this character. To be honest,…

Cover preview …

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…

A spacesuit for every occasion

Playing with character settings and a ton of textures and materials and scenes … Love this freebie spacesuit outfit. For most of these renders I’ve hidden the sleeves, so it’s more of an action suit than an airtight vacuum-of-space sorta deal. Such a cool retro look to it, though! Loving Superfly’s render engine, which can…

Some Rather Magnificent news

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…

Render tests

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…

DOUBLE HITLER?!

Das ist sehr gut!

I’ve just noticed that some wonderful human being, from the great wide web of information-connected human beings, has started translating my comics into German!! Awesome! I was just looking at e-hentai to see if someone had kindly shared Skybloom yet and lo! A great bunch of other stuff on there. Gave me a little warm…

How to make friends and love people.

One of the main things while developing characters is to make sure they operate in different environments. OK it’s not, but I guess part of the creative process is plopping people in different scenarios and seeing how they might perform. I’ve been doing the same with Jack, now it’s Skylar’s turn to get wet… Whilst…

Comic covers and titles! VOTE!!!

OK wonderful people of the internet, I have too many options right now so you have to help me decide stuff. There’s an anonymous form below, please use it to help me and I’ll try my best to finish the comic in the next week!!! VOTE GOGOGO!! I don’t want to spoil anyone’s fun, but…

Two hundred big boys

  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…

A very minor spoiler

I’m thinking this next comic is probably going to be called something like Bathtime, except having made most of the comic, it’s really not about that. So this is a very minor spoiler indeed. As always, I like my comics to be a little gritty / believable, so the ridiculously cheery topics covered in this…

Crashy & mad

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…

How to use a bath.

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…

Skybloom comic 2: Even Less Professional

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…

Un Co-operative

OK this is a silly post, but … I just went into the Co-op round the corner (it’s a supermarket in England), and my total came to £6.69. And … seeing as I am a FUNCTIONING adult, I literally said that total, out loud, then looked the Co-op checkout guy in the eye and said…

Twinspiration

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…

Religion

Someone recently commented (fairly) on the latest Lithium comic; “It might have gotten a little too on-the-nose about the religious subtext. I understand that religion has been used to harm others and that’s horrible but faith can just as easily lead to peaceful, loving persons. I respect you trying to say something but it just…

Swimming is awesome

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…

The hardest part of 3D comiccing …

I’ve done 3D comics for a little while now, and though I haven’t really got the hang of caustics (it’s a light paths thing; you’ll see caustics slightly improve even within Lithium 8 …), it’s fair to say I have mostly figured…

Bleak scifi scenes! Yeayyy!!

Gotta love the unlimited scope of scifi. This is development of a scene I’m working on; a sort of body-processing plant, complete with glowing fluids and plenty of leftover females. Why? Well, developing the ‘dishonoring humanity’ theme, we need somewhere to be the lowest-of-the-low, you know? Like, somewhere where toxic males are parading about, ruining…

Big boobs, small bra problems

OK minor detail but it’s a fun one so I figure it’s the kind of thing Charlie and Jack will have a chat about. Charlie’s lovely pink bra (and it is a lovely 3D model, you have to admit; whoever made it did a great job, which you can see from the close-ups in comic…

Minecraft

Giveaway #7: the apartment!

Free stuff! Okay, in keeping with me never ever spending a penny on 3D content, this apartment was based almost entirely on a freebie given away on Renderosity; I just sorted out all the lighting, materials settings etc. And I think originally it was like an outdoor patio thing, so I just moved everything indoors…

Language, Timothy!

Someone rightly pointed out that I put a grammatical error in Skybloom #2, and it got me thinking about language and our journeys so I’m turning it into a blog post! (This blog isn’t really about grammar, don’t worry.) On page 39, the phrase “There was a naturalness to Sophie and I ….” should be…

Falling down. Looking up.

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…

The very long scene …

Okay, there’s still just one scene left, but it turns out it’s quite a long one so is taking a little longer than expected. Good news though … it is entirely possible that Lithium #11 will be out this Friday! I’d say it’s 50/50 possible this Friday. Unless more things kick off in the real…

Giveaway #5: polyp elves

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;…

Initial character ideas

I wanted to create a comic with just a few characters, and tons of awkward ‘human’ situations. Because they’re the funniest. OK, maybe not funniest but they do happen and are all part of the great wonderful fiasco of real life. And they’re great (like scifi) for getting to the core of what makes us,…

Behind the scenes …

I thought it’d be funny to show some of my slapdash 3D behind-the-scenes work, show the other side of whatever scenes, from the camera’s point of view, so you can see how badly I cheat when creating these things … Perfectly reasonable for the comic, and then from the opposite angle … OW MY FACE…

Playing with Sophie Shitcrack

Okay, as you may know, before I start another comic in a series, I try and improve the characters with any ‘niggles’ that annoyed me in the previous comic. So development of Sophie is going alright after all; here are some development renders: ^ new Sophie on the left. You can’t tell the difference from…

The big-boobs little-boobs dilemma

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…

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…

The Lithium Comic. 05: In Tents

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.

Is Lithium ready yet?!!?!

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…

A bit of a boob

Being the genius that I am, I just messed up like 20 renders by not noticing that one of Charlie’s boobs had a custom morph applied when it shouldn’t have – it looked like it was being squidged by an invisible ghost. Anyway, so here’s the patch. Thought it was funny. Basically, tons of singular…

Anti-heroes

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…

Ahhrrrnk! Heuck-k! Cheeky …

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,…

THE SCARAB OF DESTINY

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…
