Misery and joy

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…

Oh … I’ve nearly finished … woops

OK basically, I’ve nearly finished the rendering for Lithium #6. And I’ve done half the pages. So … it’s not going to be this week but it’s going to be soon! Yay! Without giving too much away, it’s freaking hot, this one. That’s the trouble with investing so much energy into developing characters and scenarios,…

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…

Minecraft

You may wonder why my comics production has sliiightly reduced in recent years. Well, for one, there’s no longer a Pandemic on, so regular make-the-most-of-outside life has resumed. But the other major reason is … okay bear in mind I am a functioning adult with responsibilities and duties … the other reason is Minecraft. Anyone…

Working on #7

I’ve finished the first scene for comic 7, giggled most of the way through it, and didn’t need to re-render a single thing, which is always a good sign. Or maybe it means my eyesight and/or sense of quality control is fading … heck, either way, I’m happy. Anyway, here’s some dev renders for getting…

Fans are cool

OK, the thing is, you dudes are awesome. There’s this phenomenon called ‘fan service’, where the artist works fan-pleasing gratuitousness into their art, but let’s face it my comics are like 90% ‘Sindy service’ and that has a similar effect so I’ve never really felt the need to worry about fan service. But the thing…

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…

The greatest debate of all time … VOTE!

Well I’ve just wasted a night rendering the next comic, because my render PC (Windows 10 Pro), decided to force updates. Logged on this morning and find its both borked itself, and little details like folder view and display settings have reset FOR LITERALLY NO REASON, and I had to get involved with its brain…

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…

Charlies

 Ah, the human body eh? Here one day, gone the next. VERY here some days, and if you’re anything like me, pretty much a stack of crap the next. It can do amazing things, and … anyway, I digress. Orgasms though … hold on, I’m still digressing. Ahem. Hoohhh. I’ve been putting together the apartment,…

A new home.

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)…

Good news, everyone!

  OK so basically, I’ve done like 155 pages of the next comic, and there’s probably only 20 more to go. I don’t know what I was thinking aiming for ‘before Christmas’, because this thing is an epic amount of work! There’s 12 sex scenes so far. TWELVE. Count them though … onetwothreefourfivesixseveneightninetenelevenTWELVE (insert Sesame…

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…

Ooooohhhh … not long … hrnnngg …

Someone said they wondered what our voyeur neighbours made of all this, and I wasn’t going to bother adding them in (it’s already total mayhem plot), but heck I just couldn’t resist.

Detail from the real world

I’m sort of learning that good stories are rooted in the real world, that there’s something rich and salty about truth. I’ve been developing Jack and Charlie with details from my actual ‘first time’ sort of stuff. Except with me it’s ‘third time’, because my first time was with a guy who was really fragmented…

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…

Dark hierarchy scenery go go go

I’ve put together some more scenes to start to show the extent of the baddie’s lair up on the moon-moon, and honestly it took no time at all! Mostly the problem with this stuff is lighting – it makes such a massive difference to the feel of a place. It’s all about Chiaroscuro. The ‘tank…

Wrong order, does not compute.

As you may know, if you know me in person, I tend not to … do things in order. Sorry about that. I have basically been working on Lithium #4, and have decided to chop Lithium #3 in half, because it was getting to 110+ pages and becoming ungainly. This is kinda good news for…

A new hope

So I’ve had a little break from Lithium, celebrated the completion of 0HB, and have been pondering and writing a little. Thoroughly recommend it tbh! Write your shit down, people – seriously it does wonders. Hahaha, aahhhh, Skylar.

Laughing at your own work …

(Have a non-spoiler render… ) OK I’ve finished all the rendering & layout for Lithium #4, and going over it to find typos / improve images, I keep lolling at the jokes. Like I very nearly just gobbed a mouthful of coffee on the keyboard just now! Is this normal? Does anyone else write stuff…

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…

Hair.

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.

Stat things

Can’t believe I published eleven comics in 2019. That’s quite a lot. I think as I get deeper into the comic series plotlines, the comics will probably get a little longer, so I’m unlikely to release eleven in 2020. At least I hope I don’t. Considering this is a random hobby I crowbar into my…

Thanks everybody!

Wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the wonderful comments on the recent Lithium comic; people are amazing, aren’t they?! Yes, you are.

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…

Awkward moments, silly stories

Okay, I’m enjoying putting this latest thing together. It’s a little silly, and forms a kind of chronological root to the whole STFW / Lithium universe thing. And you can probably see a little resemblance to Lithium’s Jack in the image above. So quick update: I’ve done 106 pages, think there’s maybe 50 to go,…

Wears the soap

It seems that, in between real life and work and some pretty big changes that have happened recently, I can’t see Lithium being completed for a few years. Don’t panic!

Support act

I’ll be honest, I’ve been taking my time over the development of this comic, because I’m getting to grips with 3D and a new way of rendering scenes, and I think there’s good potential to do some quality renders here.

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…

Epiphanies R us – for superfans

Trolls are people too
