The marvelous bl0uuj0b animations!

Ahhh … gifs.  I spent ALL DAY yesterday working on a bunch of little animations. It might turn into a gif or a series of gifs, I presumably need to stop short of accidentally making a full-on feature film because I suspect that would take rather a lot of work, especially without motion capture or…

A few render tests

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…

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…

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…

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…

The Lithium Comic. 03: Jack/Off

OK, don’t have a heart attack or anything, but here’s Lithium comic #3!!! Wahoo!! I think I’m getting a bit better at arty CG stuff, so that’s nice. Anyway, this comic includes a certain amount of dick-squeezing, an extraordinary range of nudity, a goodly deal of different bodily fluids, and some extremely awkward moments! Hooray!…

Okay two things … firstly, did anyone download the zipped PNG version of Lithium 13 and … could they please re-up it somewhere so I can share it again? Update: this is now done! Thank you wonderful people! No, no, haha, I did not just randomly delete my original copy of the pages! Hahaha, haha…

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…

Ask the fans: to split or not to split?

OK slight problem; I’m enjoying making the next comic so much it’s accidentally got to about … ooh easily 230 pages by the time its done. That’s a lot, and it’s not exactly plot heavy so it’s maybe a bit long for what it is, and the separate ‘acts’ certainly deserve to be comics in…

Maybe … probably … next week!

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…

Invited, uninvited.

Weeell … I was going to start Lithium #13 with Jack having sex with Skylar, like this: … where she’s fallen asleep in a weird position, and he wakes up and is like “OOH … HELLO!”. And I initially wrote it like that because I had that pose of hers in my head and I…

Feels good to be together, doesn’t it? Snuggled up in bed, early-morning light giving that blue glow through the sheets.

The hardest part of 3D comiccing …

The Punisher

Although I wrote the Lithium plot a few years back, the very end has been a little flexible and has gone through a few changes. (This isn’t it, don’t worry – we’ve got a few more comics to go yet.) The path Karen’s on needs some careful weaving. I think authors too often write the…

Silliness
