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…

I’m often helped by writing and/or other creative pursuits. It’s funny how it seems pointless at the time (WHY AM I PAINTING PEBBLES) but looking back we begin to see the point (I’m so glad I painted those pebbles, it turned out it was about working through X trauma, and now I’ve thrown them into…

It will literally be out tomorrow. It’s all done, just waiting for the cover to finish rendering! WOOP WOOP! I’ll schedule it for Friday morning at 11am (GMT ~ although most of the time google thinks you’re in another timezone so it might be super early or extremely late … basically it will be sometime…

Ok fine, I’m struggling to share renders without giving hints about the next comic. There are entire acts I haven’t shared a single render of because it totally gives major spoilers, but stuff like this is fair game, so … In this lovely bottomy image, the lighting meant Charlie’s bottom totally disappeared, so this is…

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,…

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…

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…

In the last comic, lots of people were hit in the feels by Mike’s journey. I must’ve had a hundred comments from people saying the same exact thing: this was something ‘other’, way beyond anything that went before. That’s cool, and a huge compliment to my efforts with these comics, thank you. One guy said…

… and no, it’s not Lithium 10. Basically, I’ve been busy. With work, with stuff going on, with life in general, and I find those times are actually times when you need a bit of headspace, know what I mean? Yes you do. So I like to make silly comics and that sort of calms…

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…

Never gonna give up being silly.

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…

This is mostly a bunch of renders with our young couple to test new lighting and skin. And a massive rambling discussion on the topic of hate and love as well, sure, sure. I had a really interesting few chats with some very difficult humans recently, and the wonderful thing I discovered, is that love…

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…

Thought I’d take a quick break from real life to update everyone on the comic: I managed to squeeze in a comiccy session yesterday and so we’re up to 120 ish pages and only half a sex scene to create/render. So we’re on schedule for next week – ish. Perhaps. Late next week. Maybe. Also,…

Hello! OK, plan B if my blog dies / Google decide they don’t like me any more (I don’t know why they would decide this, because let’s face it I’m lovely and my comics and blogs are all full of wholesome goodness, but you know, some people are prudes and don’t like boobies and willies…

This is what test renders look like – rather than render a whole scene I’m often just rendering the bit that’s hardest to get right, to save time it’s normally just the face (cos expressions are hard), or the ‘bits’ that are touching (to make sure there’s no pokethrough / overlap or whatever), like fingers,…

I was talking to a friend recently who said Truth means facts. And I said … no it doesn’t. And they said yes it does, it’s the same word … truth is the same as facts. It’s the same word. And I said … no … it’s not the same word, you can tell because…

In Vladimir Nab0kov’s most famous controversial book, the main character goes through three distinct phases: the approach, the act, and the fallout.  This is often the storyteller’s thing, but I firmly believe there is a forth phase available to all humans: transcendence. We learn from our own story and we change. We change, we become…

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…

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]….

  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…

  I just got an email recommending I whatever with ‘incredibly hot playmates’, and I just thought YES, now that would make a good comic title! And then I thought about it a bit and I changed my mind. No, it wouldn’t. Aaaanyway, how’s tricks, internet? Next comic is coming along nicely. I’m now in…

I hope you have some good times, wherever you may be, and whatever you may be going through. Here is a picture of a nice squishy blue thingy. Life has its ups and downs, yes, but when we can find the harmony that exists between the highs and the lows, and the freedom from shame…

A sneak peak at the imminent comic. There’s a running theme of Charlie gettingherself off every time anything happens. Well. You know. Art imitating life … Well what an extraordinary response to the previous post; I’ve had 140 comments in the previous day or two. Obviously anonymous forms are the way to go! Feeling very…

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…

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…

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…

Phew. What a lot of feedback everyone’s given on the recent comic! Well done, everybody. Comments ranged from “Worst part ever in all comics” to “The best one yet!” – so that’s … quite the range, hahaha! (^ Marks out of 10) Looks like the vast majority of people enjoyed it really – and it…

Every space comic needs alien characters (it’s the law), so here are development renders of a potential character, Skylar. After some of my own custom mesh design based on the excellent V4.2 + Blackhearted’s GND4, and some Russian dude’s great work which sorted out the underlying skeleton of the original V4 (think his character was…

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.

OK I’m writing a proper grown-up blog post that I’ll publish on Saturday, but in the meantime, here’s an old scene file I opened this morning and … added a tie to … Wow, that’s … jazzy, Charlie. What are we thinking there, eh? Who knows, who knows. The marvelous human mind, eh? Never ceases…

Okay, you know how I like to put film/TV and niche pop culture references in my comics, well there’s also self-referential consistency MADNESS in every comic, too. Here are the top 10 silly ones from Lithium #10 … how many did you spot?!   ^ circled in red is Skylar’s goddamn TOAST which she dropped…

I know what you’re gonna say … I’m spending too much time playing with the Charlie character. Well, maybe. But sorting her clothing is much harder than with Jack, because there are loads of ‘guy’ freebies out there that are normal. Jeans: done. Tshirt: done. Easy. But the female clothing freebies are stupid bloody peephole…

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…

OK sure I get my sound effects from little boats and such, but the thing is the rendering for Lithium #9 is all done! YEOOOWWW! TOOOOOOT! PAAAAARPPPPP!!! I’m putting little speech bubbles on and fitting the last bunch of pages together, but the scenes and renders are all done. Ish. Almost. OK fine I just…

OK this post has nothing to do with ham, I just didn’t want to write the word ‘harm’. This isn’t a big rant or a dark self harm story, though don’t worry. Basically, right, I went to some festivals recently … I know. If you’re an introvert, you’ll know what a big/horrific deal this is!…

So basically … ok don’t hold your breath STOP HOLDING YOUR BREATH!! Breathe man, breathe! So basically, I’ve added in a cheeky scene or two, just set the ol’ render horse neighing while I photoshopped the final pages together. Buuuut don’t hold you breath because I still need to add ALL the speech bubbles and…

Everybody relax. That whole Sabbath principle seems to have been lost on the world. Actually, it seems to have been lost on me, I’ll be honest. You know that thing where you start explaining something, and really it’s because you’ve only just realised it yourself and you’re like AH … YES … I SHOULD EXPLAIN…
