This for the cover image of Lithium #3? There’s always this moment when I have to complete a comic and decide what goes on the cover. To be honest it’s tricky because I’m a bit of a perfectionist (it seems … I’m just realising this now … in my thirties), so I have this stupid…

OK. Lots of votes for all of the outfits for Charlie; lots of people like the cheerleader outfit and the cami and the ski suit and the jumper but let’s face it … the cheerleader thing is stupid (but it’s not like this is a sensible comic so…), and the cami is the most believable….

OK I’ve made a decent start on Lithium #6, but it’s a long comic so don’t hold your breath; things are hectic at the beginning of a new year & this may take a while. I did notice on a forum somewhere (I googled my name, as you do), that lots of people think Lithium…

  Maybe it’s the Skylar part of me (I hope it is), but I do have this tendency to slow my thoughts and actions to a snail’s pace when it comes to certain levels of change. Einstein reckoned ability to change was a sign of intelligence, which doesn’t bode well for me recently because change…

It’s done. Something for England to be proud of in this otherwise dark time. I’m doing final checks for story flow and need to do a bunch of tiny render tweaks, but apart from that it’s done 🙂 I’ll upload tomorrow evening (UK time). Have fun sleeping. PS. Get some fluids … … … ……

I’ve just looked at the stats for this blog, and judging by the technology (an old Blackberry or a WiiU or an XBox browser …), this tech implies that there are some very cheeky children about the place! If you’re under 18 and are visiting this blog on a Nintendo 3DS or whatever, late at…

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…

Hey everybody! In one of my particular spheres of work, this time of year is referred to as ‘the silly season’, and I’m kinda warming to the name because, let’s face it … things go a bit silly. Silly is nice sometimes, sure. But sometimes silly is also a bit tiring and a bit much,…

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…

If you haven’t read the latest comic. Read it. It’s out. Really glad everyone liked it; the average rating was 10/10, which is cool, so thank you. Someone mentioned it was nice to read through the feedback a few comics ago, so I thought I’d just paste the first 150 or so comments below. Pictured…

Well, I was after a corvette – small, fast, mostly engine, space-capable craft that looked domestic rather than industrial or military, and I think we’ve hit the jackpot with this one … the seats spin and everything … Just do some quick character tests … FOR SCIENCE. Hello? Anybody ho… wait a minute … what’s…

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…

OK so just to give the more obsessive-y-struggling people some space – don’t hold you breath, and don’t keep refreshing this blog, but … whisper it … we’re getting there. Comic update Renders: donePages: done (201! Crazy)Bubbles: complete to page 135.Juicy, spunky detail: 80% complete. That’s right. Should be maybe this weekend. Ish. Don’t check…

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…

OK! I’m feeling a little better about this whole ultra-mega-ridiculous comic thing rn, which is always good! I’ve done a few scene setups and a little edit of the text and it sort of comes together more neatly now.  I don’t think this is going to be the final Lithium comic; I say that because…

I know what you’re thinking: what could be a sexier detail than a tiny pink bow added to a pair of knickers? Well, I’ll tell you: a book. A freaking trashy book. Pictured on the right is the default ‘book’ in Poser; a featureless block of nonsense. So there aren’t any good default book props….

… 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…

  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…

Tschhhhhh. Flippin nora, you know it’s stressy stressy work stress when you don’t even have time to add crazy mutterings on your freaking sexy comics blog! Too much on, but despite this, the comic work has been continuing nicely. We’re into the final three scenes, with some gentle darkness learning to become light. Here’s a…

It’s weird rendering in 3D sometimes because lighting has to be setup by the render engine to cope with whatever it’s fudging about the real world. So like in this scene I want it to be really dark, just moonlit highlights, but the renderer’s like “NOPE.” and perfectly exposes what I’d intended to be under-exposed….

  OK sitrep: it turns out that having a break to let your brain untangle is absolutely flipping amazing! 10/10 would recommend, it is ok not to be ok, we all need to look after ourselves now and then. Rest is part of resilience after all! Yay! 🙂 So … the comic!! I’m just getting…

OK in this post is a free 3D character giveaway, a request and a competition! Woop woop! REQUEST:  I’ve been playing with an idea, but like lots of my ideas I kinda need to start turning it into 3D scenes to see how it might look, and decide if the idea would actually work as…

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…

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…

Dear Sir or Madam, why must our brains be like this? Why must existence be so painful at times, and so wonderful at others? Could we perhaps find a happy balance, a chummy harmony to dance the days through? I’m feeling a little of the black dog yapping at my heels rn, spending a little…

OK! Big fan of conundra, me. Ya paradoxes, ya dichotomies, ya dilemmas; big fan, big fan. In the upcoming comic, I’ll be honest it’s a big of a grey area in terms of how it pans out – we could go in a number of directions at this stage and I’m trying to walk that…

Ok if you ever thought you’d like to buy me something, I figure now and then I’ll make a wishlist of a few 3D things, that way people can get involved 🙂 So here goes, one little wishlist: Renderosity: https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/bcs/wishlist/?uid=946092 ^ This includes a bunch of stuff I still need for the upcoming comic, so…

You may have noticed that my Renderosity wishlist, which was at 30-something items, is now aaaalmost empty (EDIT: It’s empty! Thank you!). Which means you lot have done an amazing, generous job of buying me the 3D stuff I need! Thank you so much to everyone who chipped in. And the people who nearly chipped…

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…

Hahahaha!!! Ahhh. Ahhhhhhh. So I opened up the file ready to render out a scene and it hadn’t loaded my custom morph file correctly for charlie. Luckily I did a test render before leaving it overnight to render out the entire scene hahaha! Presented as a gif so you can appreciate the difference. This is…

(OK fine I couldn’t decide what to title this blog post). Anyway the comic: 120 pages done! Woop! I have to be honest; I’ve slowed down a tiny bit, having ploughed through all of the action sequences last month, there’s some actually much more complex scenes I’ve had to do more carefully this last week. …

Having caught myself slightly off-guard by deciding to release the next Lithium comic at the 120-page mark rather than plough on and include the next few scenes (which will take a month or two), I had to then decide on the cover. Part of me wanted to just have Skylar in the freeze tube thing,…

Holy crapballs, I just found someone’s translated all my comics into French! Zut alors! Wowee, that’s so cool someone’s gone to all that effort, heheh awesome! So here’s some of my favourite bits, en Francais: … amazing, the French for GYEUGG is GYEUGG! Who’d have thought, huh?! Hahaha. Ahh, Baba Yaga. Damn I need to…

After a little tweaking and clothing effort, the lovely Skylar character is good to go 🙂 I’m not really going for ‘airhead’, which is too pejorative, I’m sort of aiming for someone who can legit represent innocence. You know? Like, they’re always in any group of people, sometimes they’re wolves in sheeps clothing, but the…

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. So there’s a mini cameo in there now. I know, I know, I’m too kind.  Comic update:  Renders: 99.9% complete (literally just need…

Oh God I’m SO sick of hearing about Coronavirus that I’ve come out of a break from the blog just to blog about it. It’s that bad. People are sharing the crappest links from clickbait articles (ie. Medium; I’m not even going to link it) and even TV news is being sensationalist to try and…

If you haven’t read the first comic, start there! Here are a few more test renders of our main character, Charlie, as she needs to be ready for different situations in the upcoming comic. Anyway, as we’ve established in the first comic; she’s not perfect, she’s liable to a little bit of shouting, she’s tall…

It’s always amusing reading the comments submitted on my comics, it’s been especially entertaining seeing how people change as they get older – 80% of the comments from people in the 18-25 category are half-formed, self-prioritising claptrap straight out of Justin Biebers how-to archipelago of consumer misery. Whining and ego leading the charge of the…

Ehrmagherd!! I accidentally an entire comic! A whole one! OK so I need to add speech bubbles onto like hundreds of pages, but apart from that minor details IT’S DONE, BABY!!!! Wahooooo!!!! Final in the series is here, and it’s a beaut, lemme tell you! There’s even … whisper it … sex scenes in this…

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,…

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,…

Woop woop! Ok it’s all done, I’m just going to do a final read-through tomorrow morning when I get a chance, then upload. Eeee! It’s a good one hehehehhh 🙂 Nearly … hhrrhrhrhhhhnnnn …. [Warning: may contain multiple examples of bottom things]
