Sindy Anna Jones

  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…

Update: tune in this Sunday for some behind-the-scenes nonsense: It’s interesting looking at some of your feedback for ohb8; most applauding the dig I had at billionaire culture, but a few people saying I was wrong about Musk. I mean it’s an interesting one, isn’t it? I think the point is that billionaires simply shouldn’t…

Thought I’d log into the ol’ Google-mo-tron and find out [vague information] about my blog visitors. It’s been interesting producing a series of comics which is increasingly equality-focussed in its values – I wondered if that correlated with the type of visitor I got. Turns out it does! I started off with what is probably…

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…

OK that title was a Transformers reference for the nerds. I mean, I’m one of them, sure, sure. It seems many people in a certain beloved country are learning the word ‘Autocrat’ for the first time, and seeing what’s been going on behind a certain administration in a new light perhaps. And that’s fine. Sure,…

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…

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…

Feedback has been amazing for the recent Lithium Comic 8 – really glad it hit the spot for so many, and also pretty glad nobody’s ranted at me about either the theological stuff or some of the life-y stuff! Yay! Well done, everybody. To be honest, the whole sex buildup since the Lithium series began…

EDIT: Calm down a bit. OK so listen, I’ve written Lithium #10 (& 11 & 12 …), but it does get right into plot and then steers clear of any sexy situations, which for someone who kinda wants to make sexy comics (as well as funny/thoughtful ones), is a little issue! So rather than struggle…

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…

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),…

(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…

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…

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….

I (very) often get asked this. Why are they free, what’s your patreon, how can I send you money etc etc. The reason I give them away for free is because life is about substantially more than accruing as much money as possible. I live comfortably enough and I am content with who I am…

  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…

A few weeks back I asked what a good ‘bad woman’ name is, and had a ton of messages from lots of different people saying ‘Karen’!! Haha, what is it with you people?! Anyway, I have to admit, I knew a girl at primary school called Karen, and for one reason or another I hated…

I’ve had a lot of feedback over the years. I think it’s an important thing to engage with; if we don’t listen to feedback, what we’re saying is we have all the answers in life; we’re saying “Screw other people’s stinky opinions, my ego’s more happy in isolation”. But feedback can help us grow (I…

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…

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…

I thought it’d be funny to show some of my slapdash 3D behind-the-scenes work, show the other side of whatever scenes, from the camera’s point of view, so you can see how badly I cheat when creating these things … Perfectly reasonable for the comic, and then from the opposite angle … OW MY FACE…

Just wanted to say thank you for all the feedback you’ve given on the latest comic, Grace. Comments ranged from “Very disappointed. Your other comics had excellent dialogue – this one had hardly any.“ (lol, btw), to “Brilliant! Telling such a difficult story without text is difficult at best. You are a master of your…

^ Ignore the wig I watched the 80s film Trading Places recently, and whilst wading through the horrific (mostly intentional, but still…) racism, sexism, bad one-liners, and … I wait is that … oh myyyy … Jamie Lee Curtis. I hear what you’re saying, and what I hear is … Jamie Lee Curtis. My first…

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…

I do still exist, I promise. Sorry about the radio silence. OK, quick sitrep: I’ve got roughly 99.9% of comic #10 to produce in any way. I mean, sure I’ve done a few trooper poses, but really we’re looking at roughly … not much. Apart from making lots of silly gif animations, as you can…

OK it’s doing my head in that I don’t have any Indiana Jones references in my comics yet, and my stupid damn alias is Sindy Anna Jones. This is obviously unacceptable and I need closure. So … HELP ME! What’s your favourite Indiana Jones quote / moment / reference that I should crowbar into the…

  Relief. Relief. So weird, didn’t expect that. I guess when someone you love has lived with an abuser for so long, you learn to live with the tension, the self-control of wanting the best for your friend but always knowing there’s this ongoing rumble of abuse. So when the abuser is gone (even temporarily),…

Can anyone recommend a free cloud storage thingy? I’ve been using Google Drive but I’m a bit worried they’ll see boobies and think I’m a deviant and ban me and I’ll get the Feds knocking at my door (despite me not being anywhere near America, but you know … I’ve seen movies where they do…

Around noon ish, UK time. Rejoice. It is pretty good. 227 pages give or take. I’m just doing the final ipad test now.   Homer’d be proud. Not that Homer.

OK! I have a plan. Life has done that thing of avalanching in, but fear not, the comic is almost there. Wish I could release the comic today as anticipated, but I need to (1) finish the last 10 pages of speech bubbles (won’t take long), and then (2) I need a couple of hours…

OK, this is an animated gif (in case you didn’t watch it for long enough …). I’m not doing one of those ridiculous “Oh my god my tits just tripled in size!” things like you get in some comics, HOWEVER … changing shape as you get older  is part of life whatever your age/gender: we…

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…

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…

It’s SUNNY? Madness, madness, it can’t be, don’t tell me the world keeps revolving and the seasons and the dawns and the new growth never gives up?!?! Splendid. Quick update on Lithium 8: it’s humming along nicely. In fact there’s only one and a half scenes left! In a comic of a zillion scenes that…

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…

OK I’ve done 100 pages on the next comic, with speech bubbles and everything, largely because I’d already done 200 renders over the summer and they were sitting there in a folder. So that’s good! Also good: I’d forgotten about them, and they’re flipping hot. Lithium comic #5 is going to be a trouser-breaker. A…
