Hhurrrngggggg!!!

I’ve had a chance to use my reasonably mighty cerebellum (we all have one) on the Great Poser Problem™️ and have realised I can just work around the software issue by hiding people’s hair, creating scenes frame-by-frame, and then un-hiding all the hair and ploughing through the rendering timeline that way. So … it’s not…

A forgotten crush

^ Ignore the wig I watched the 80s film Trading Places recently, and whilst wading through the horrific (mostly intentional, but still…) racism, sexism, bad one-liners, and … I wait is that … oh myyyy … Jamie Lee Curtis. I hear what you’re saying, and what I hear is … Jamie Lee Curtis. My first…

*Runs in*

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…

An awful lot of gammon

I suppose my problem with racist marches in England, is it’s always people who clearly don’t have any friends who are much different to them. Just a sea of white faces and outfits from Sports Direct. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love Sports Direct, but where we see homogeneity, we see a problem….

Neurodiversity and booby comics

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,…

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…

Young Mary Poppins-sah!

Quick request before we get into the boobies – does anyone have the iconic HG Wells time machine (pictured) in some basic 3d format like 3DS or OBJ that they can share a download link for please? Don’t email me cos I can’t access my emails – comment below! I’ve googled everywhere and it doesn’t…

Okay okay okay okay okay wait wait wait

It turns out I’m racing through this comic and we’ve done at least half now. Which is kinda awesome, because I’ve been thinking about / delaying this one for about a year or something ridiculous (when did Lithium #9 come out?! When did I write this dang series?!?!? Yonks ago, that’s when), so it’s really…

A big thank you

I mean listen, I do this thing where I create this random flippin comic. And sometimes it’s sexy and sometimes its funny or it’s just really, REALLY random. And sometimes it’s big meta ideas and sometimes it’s pure shitposting, sure, sure. But here’s the interesting thing; people get it. They appreciate it. And I just…

Skybloom imminent! Ish!

Okay [minors spoilers although these images could be anything – she might have stepped on lego] it won’t be this weekend because I need to do most of the speech bubbles, BUT! IT! WON’T! BE! LONG!

Hunt Sindy!

Okay listen, London’s a big place and there’s lots of people here, but I thought it’d be funny to do a real life treasure hunt, so … basically right now I’m in Westminster, sitting in a pub beside a Christmas Tree (why they have a massive tree up already I don’t know), so you know….

Lithium comic 9 … under development!

Whaaaat? I’ve already done the first 25 pages of the next comic?!?! Goodness me, what a busy little bugger I am! This next comic is not only going to have the utterly greatest title of all time, it’s also going to include … well let’s be honest there may be some nudity. But do you…

A very, very big heads-up. Hooohh.

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…

Comic previews …

OK we’re nearing the final few scenes of Lithium 9: speech bubbles are even done up to page like 130 or something, so we’re getting through it! Yay! To celebrate, here are two comic page previews which don’t give anything away. I’ll do them as links so if you really don’t want any spoilers whatsoever,…

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…

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. I think things are best when they’re more seat-of-the-pants because then your subconscious brings more gems from the depths of creation rather than you trying to control…

Hey shall we have a competition?

I was thinking, I could give away any / all of my 3D poser characters (along with a list of dependencies), and maybe some custom scenes and then run a 3D competition. Would be really fun to see what people did with my characters, hehehh. So who should I do? I’ve got this little alien…

Redheads

After including an exclusively red-headed family in Kinfolk, based on someone I knew at primary school, I was reminded just how much I really do love ginger hair! What a beautiful thing our species is gifted with, eh? Quite right. And our wonderful redheads are hardly well represented by the slightly grotesque Thomson family ……

Last Lithium underway

Okay, whisper it, but … it’s started properly. I wouldn’t announce such a thing unless I meant it – 20 pages now done – and this last Lithium comic has been something of a unicorn due to its slightly not-quite-getting-started status, drifting on and on for some months. As you may be aware. “Ooh, shall…

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. It’s not important to animate them, cos comics are static. It’s a totally pointless exercise, I admit. These animations, then, are just for fun. Lots of free walk cycles…

Hanging out

I’ve done a few comics now, and I’ve found it’s easier / quicker / a better outcome, when I go through the scripts and edit really harshly. I always have to think to myself “Is this sexy, funny or making a serious point?” and if it’s not – it HAS to go, otherwise I’m wasting…

A plethora of body shapes

Well after 8 months of putting my little comics on the interwebs, I can safely say the comics have had in the region of tens of millions of views. That’s quite a lot! Well done, everybody, have a biccie. And with popularity comes interesting information from people all round the world ~ I had an…

Complexes

Here’s a little video showing the complexity of the new spaceship I’ve been working on. Yes, it’s madness. This is a quick zoom through the wireframe, from the spherical dock / airlock chamber at the bottom of the ship, through living quarters (figures lying in stasis rn), up the ladder to the completely indecipherable cockpit,…

You! Speak!

Pictured: hung over. Well, the new comic’s had just under a million hits, and it sounds like people like it, which is great. Extremely great (Nicolas Cage in The Rock reference … oh God I’ve got to stop putting Nicolas Cage references in everything I HAVE A DISEASE HALP). I’ve added the comments to the…

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…

Jen! Jen! Jen! Jen!

Ahhh, this next comic’s going swimmingly, I thought I’d take a little break from ignoring my work duties, and also a break from procrastinating with animations and nonsense in Poser, to bring the spotlight onto our lovely Jen. I know the comic’s about her sister, but Jen is really cool too. I could just easily…

Cover reveal …

Haven’t quite finished that dang final scene yet, but I have had a chance to race through a bunch of making the speech bubbles, and my-oh-my, there’s some silliness in this one, I can tells ya.  See photoshop layers image, lol. Anyway, there’s a cover preview below – the final cover of Lithium Comic #11…

Mistakes!

You may have noticed a couple of clangers in the final Lithium comic, hopefully they didn’t get in the way of your enjoyment of it. And as someone commented; “What happened to you? There were never such serious mistakes in the last 54 comics.” Well … it’s a good question. What did happen to me?…

Ok I have a plan.

Thanks for the lovely comments etc on the blog about me needing a break, especially to the loads of you who said that comic I was trying to find was Pet Elf – thanks everyone.

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…

Very silly comic development

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…

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…

Patriarchy and Barbie

So … I saw the Barbie movie. It’s great. Or if you’re troubled by it; it’s a bit challenging, and that’s good. Even better, in fact. Either way, definitely worth a watch. Is it perfect? No. I think it is a bit problematic in places, but that doesn’t detract from the overall message; that no…

How to 3D without dying [part 1]

Software I use: Poser Pro, with the Victoria 4 character (a very old 3D character by Daz),…

God is left-handed

Think about it right, God gets to show off the magic in minority stuff like orangutans, seahorses, human knee joints, unusual little cosmic events, moon coronas, stuff like that. So of course he’s left handed, because that means creativity and zaniness [sarcasm]. So of course they’ll be left handed in my upcoming comic [not sarcasm]….

The comics plan

I’ve worked on two major series: One Human Being, and Lithium. Amongst those I’ve…

TWO HUNDRED PAGES

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…

Mannequin dreams

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…

The Office
