Eggies and the Easter thing …

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…

Boobies. I mean comics.

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…

… will travel

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…

Trolls are people too

I’ve had a lot of feedback over the years. I think it’s an important thing to engage with; if we don’t listen to feedback, what we’re saying is we have all the answers in life; we’re saying “Screw other people’s stinky opinions, my ego’s more happy in isolation”. But feedback can help us grow (I…

Oh deary me

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…

It’s aliiiive!!!

Good news everyone, my render machine is alive! Kinda. Anyway I seem to be able to get it to do stuff. Mostly. And I’ve taken this opportunity to limit the CPU usage to like 95% because it does seem to die when it’s trying really hard. Chill out, I say. Have a break now and…

Slight …

^ Some quick patch-test renders … that’s … that’ll work fine …             … change of plan. About a year ago I wrote all of Lithium and most of the OHB series. So I’m just slowly working through them, churning the content out. Jolly good fun if you ask me….

Rooms that are not rooms.

I thought I’d enjoy some quiet time over the summer break and actually get round to reading through my own (and other) comics! Yay! It’s been a pleasant surprise to go through old work like this.  Anyway one thing that amused me was that fact that our favourite kids’ apartment isn’t actually one apartment, it’s…

The perfection trap

It’s been funny reading your feedback to the last comic, the vast majority is very happy people saying lovely things, but with about 10% I honestly don’t know if people are joking sometimes, if they really don’t get why it is what it is, or they just don’t understand what humans are like, so I…

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…

BANG ON TREND. Ish.

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…

Eeeehhhh!!

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…

Railed

Just thought I’d pop in and say hello HELLO. In the picture above, Jack is helping Skylar with something. And yes, the door is breaking, click-click CRACK goes the poor door frame but don’t worry, for it uses futuristic safety glass and nothing can break that stuff, no not even young Jack’s thrusty efforts. New…

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…

Suffer! Lolololol

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…

Silliness

I rendered an image but this woman’s eyes weren’t pointing quite at Skylar’s boobies, so I had to re-render the eyes. Anyway I thought it’d be funny to turn it into an animated gif. No reason. By the way, what does everyone think about giving her a name? Trouble is I can’t refer to her…

The path ahead.

Hello. In the latest comic, I apparently spelt ‘noodle’ as ‘noddle’! Fuck! Aaaah well. We all make mistakes. Noddle, though. Noddle. Bugger! 😆 Anyway. I’ve always uploaded my comics to e-hentai, this isn’t because I really like that site, it’s purely for me to get some idea of user stats. I mean, most of the…

The famous 24 hour comic

Okay listen, OH WAIT Happy new year etc etc! If you made it this far, collect five ‘cool’ points. <insert worst gif ever /> Sorry for not writing anything for ages but you know, life does that thing sometimes, doesn’t it? And if I’m honest, I genuinely think the next Lithium is going to be…

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,…

Comic update: it’s warm.

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…

GIVEAWAY! Makin’ comics!

Thought I’d make a comprehensive comicsy blog post, for those budding graphics enthusiasts! Comics don’t need to be sexy/erotic (you heard it here first), they can just be fun one-page stories!

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…

Trouble downloading? Get the comic here!

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…

Rendering!!!!! Hooooly smokes

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),…

Finished!

As you may know, I wrote 95% of the Lithium series in one sitting a few years back, and I’ve been working through producing the actual comics every few months. Well, today I took some time out from my not-very-busy work (hey it’s Easter, everyone’s porking chocolate), and FINISHED writing Lithium! 100%. Wahoo! Well. Honestly,…

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…

Comic update …

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.

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…

Music

OK I’m trying something new for Comic #7 – I’m going to suggest people start listening to a certain track on a certain page. This is because, while creating the 3D scene a few days back, the music randomly came on and it absolutely got the hairs on the back of my neck going. You…

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,…

Tiiiiiiiime travel: VOTE!

Okay, help me with a conundrum. Basically, I was wondering about weaving in a mini plot including HG Wells and young Mary Poppins, time-travelling into the Lithium series. They could visit a bunch of scenes from STFW and Grace etc as well, a sort of post-Lithium homage to all things STFW-universe. BUT then I thought…

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;…

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…

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…

Don’t fear the Reaper

Interesting that I’ve had a good few bits of feedback from people saying the moment with the henchmen in the latest comic was the most touching / got them in a deep place.

Much redeye, very grief

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…

Almost nothing whatsoever

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!

Skylar: detailed development

It’s always good when you’ve got the basic ‘look’ of someone. Know what I mean?

She is fairly stacked, it…
