Oh look, a blog!

Hello! I know what you’re thinking; “Wow, this is a futuristic blog, full of wonder and joy, I shall bookmark that MF tout de suite!” And you’d be right; go with your instinct, I’d say. This will be the home to two free comic series which intertwine: the ‘Lithium’ comic series, and ‘One Human, Being’…

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;…

Epiphanies R us – for superfans

Hello, it’s me again. Yay! In the penultimate Human Being comic, someone said they wished there was more detail about the specific transition of Mike, from his desolation to his security, his peace. It’s a good question, and prob one we all want the answer to, at one time or another (or constantly, sure). Hopefully…

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….

Delays and Inspiration

Ok so this is gonna be a little bittersweet. Two reasons for this post: (1) I’m not doing too well rn. (2) I want to know the source of the pics on this page if anyone knows, please? So on (1); sometimes life hits you in the brain like a train hitting a … I…

Skybloom comic 1: Unprofessional

It’s here. I’ve been taking my time with different concepts, different storylines – I mean if you sit down and try to write the human experience into chunks, it begs the question, where to begin? Well, the OHB series kinda started with self worth, Lithium takes the casual approach to freedom from guilt and control,…

Less light

It’s interesting [to me] how, if we fully light a scene, it can look fake and boring. But if we remove lights, leave lots of shadow, it all sort of pops more. I think Caravaggio was probably onto something. And maybe that’s one of the things that makes ‘vintage’ porn so much more interesting to…

Ooooh we’re getting close …

My oh my we’re nearly …   Yes, yes I hear you. I want it too, believe me. It’s been a tough old summer, hasn’t it? Time for some Autumn goodness to cool the blood and settle the nerves. I want to especially send some of the good loving to my American friends – you…

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…

Good and bad. Goodbad. Badgood.

Someone mentioned recently that they dig my references to ‘both-and’. Thanks; yeah I think we [society] miss that stuff so much – a quick look at Twitter will reveal that nuance and paradox are not exactly commonly understood. Then a friend messaged me this link on the who’s-bad, who’s-good thing: https://thereforenow.com/2011/09/the-tax-collector-with-the-pharisees-speech-in-his-pocket/  It’s interesting, that. And…

Fast slow fast slow slowfast

  OK ok ok hold on hold on I was racing through the comic but my workplace decided it was a good time to shoot cannonballs at me and sure I can dance around like the furry guy in Kung Fu Panda 3, but it does rather put a crimp on one’s ‘extra-curricular’ productivity, it…

Dress for success

Trouble with scifi is any materials are possible, so it’s difficult to have ‘spacey’, shiny materials and remember to keep it believable. I figure the subtle approach is always best, as there’ll always be people, throughout time, who don’t want to actually wear tinfoil and clingfilm, and prefer to slouch around in jeans and comfortable…

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…

Gifs! Gifs! Gifs! Love me some gifs

Here’s the first few silly gifs! Hoooray! Charlotte and her bestest pal Jack, enjoying a sunny morning in the bathroom.  I regret nothing. Share them wherever you like, I’ll prob delete them sometime, knowing me. Note: the only rule with these gifs, is that if you pronounce it a soft J sound, ‘jifs’, then you…

The how to find my comics, Plan B blog post

  Occurred to me that I only have this one blog (I’ve closed my deviantart etc to simplify stuff), and Google is probably the worst host I could’ve chosen for that. Ah well, let’s discuss a plan B shall we?  Google occasionally randomly closes accounts, responds over-zealously to reports or just plain ditches blogs as…

Beautiful rejects

Thought I’d drop the renders that didn’t make it into the latest comic, just for fun.

Shame and wonder and space things

I just read a fascinating [/batshit-crazy] book [/terrifying sex horror pulp fiction], which was excellent [/scared me to my very horny soul], by a scifi writer called Philip Jose Farmer. I’d read one of his books before, it was about *checks notes* ah yes, Tarzan escaping helicopter megalomaniacs and humping everything from gorillas to rambunctious…

Minor spoilers …

Well, I have to admit I’m having a *lovely* time finishing up this comic! It’s … well, it’s … I was trying to think about a way of blogging about this, but then the list of Photoshop layers kinda summed it up nicely, so here’s a screengrab of some of them >>> Jinkies x Come…

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…

Hey! You wanna play a game? Yeah? Good choice. Well, the game is, you have to wait for me to complete the next comic. Sorry, I know I know it sounds like a crap game, but honestly just existing and ‘being’ is good, it’s good, I promise. And while we wait, good things happen sometimes….

Anti-heroes

Someone commented on this blog a while back, saying I shouldn’t cover drug usage in my comics, as that’d be “a bit dark, something your other comics couldn’t be accused of” – I mean I know what you mean ~ my comics do seem to have a ‘light’, joyful kinda overall vibe about them, but…

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),…

A little love story

You may know that I read all the feedback on my comics, and I take it seriously. Sure, some of it’s nonsense purely as a symptom of the sheer number of people leaving feedback – if you ask a thousand people for advice, at least thirty of them will talk total BS (I’m normally one…

Time for a good wash.

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…

The Truth

I’ve been writing about the truth recently, looking at its role in a world of chaos. So I thought I’d share some of my own truth in the upcoming comic. Not lots, I just mean be a bit more vulnerable I guess. As I’ve alluded to in other posts (eg the Perfection Trap), we (I)…

And the winner is … camisole!

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….

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…

Language, Kenneth!

Let’s do some folding

OK my work has calmed down a tiny bit, and I thought I’d show some working for the upcoming comic. Just to show some of my thinking. Basically, I took Charlie’s Rainbow Brite top from an earlier comic (which was, itself made out of a chopped up swimming costume mesh), and stuck a Princess Peach…

Playing with Sophie Shitcrack

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…

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…

Autocrats, roll out!

OK that title was a Transformers reference for the nerds. I mean, I’m one of them, sure, sure.

Good news, everyone!
