Home of the Lithium Comic, One Human Being, and other absurdly sexy comics. Plus boobies, bums, willies, stuff like that.
OK wonderful people of the internet, I have too many options right now so you have to help me decide stuff. There’s an anonymous form below, please use it to help me and I’ll try my best to finish the comic in the next week!!! VOTE GOGOGO!! I don’t want to spoil anyone’s fun, but…
… is the break-the-4th-wall face. Sounds (and looks) stupid, I know, I know. I’ve done 3D comics for a little while now, and though I haven’t really got the hang of caustics (it’s a light paths thing; you’ll see caustics slightly improve even within Lithium 8 …), it’s fair to say I have mostly figured…
I have this sort-of-policy where I don’t put too much thought into my stories. Know what I mean? Like if you force it, it doesn’t work as well. I think things are best when they’re more seat-of-the-pants because then your subconscious brings more gems from the depths of creation rather than you trying to control…
I realised this week that I have made two major, major cock-ups with Kinfolk! The first cock-up is that I based it in 1795, which was a result of me working backwards from an intended next generation of characters (unpublished concept story), and getting the damn maths wrong! Should’ve been more like 1815! Bum! Not…
Madiy and Crash! New comic out early next week! Renders are all done, bleubies are all ready, thingies and adventures and exclamation marks are all set and raring to gooooo!!!!! LET’S HOPE THERE ISN’T SOME SORT OF AWKWARD SUBTEXT GOING ON HERE EH flip knows what could REALLY BE GOING ON AAARGHHHH. So tune in…
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…
HOT OFF THE PRESS! Okay I’ve received one almighty heads-up that our dear friend-in-common and fave author, Tira Yugen has finally had enough and ditched the mighty Gogggle in favour of Tumblr … (also Goggle but hey I won’t mention it if you don’t). So … go there for updates I guess > https://www.tumblr.com/tirayugen *Drums…
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…
By the pale cones of mercy … new comic out next week! Probably! Don’t quote me on it, stuff happens, but all being well it’ll be out soon 🙂 It’s a heady mix of post-renaissance whimsy and pre-industrialisation … errr … nudity. I’ve done about 150 pages so far and there’s just a little tidying…
Who likes free? Who likes comics? Who likes FREE COMICS wahoooo!!!! Well, that’s three wishes in one, but okay if you insist. I’m going to release a silly little tongue-in-cheek mini space adventure comic early morning tomorrow! Hooray! Okay, no it’s not the next Lithium, but it does have … you know. Boobies. I mean…
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….
You know when you log into your email and you have a hundred emails from people asking for permission to access a *public* document, that the system isn’t working. Google Drive is a nightmare for some people, they accidentally delete shared folder contents (apparently), and can’t find the download link for PDFs (apparently). And if…
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…
Scifi books are amazing! JakeDude asked me what my top 10 scifi books were, and though I’ve discussed a few books on this blog over the years, it got me thinking and I thought HECK I’ll just open the discussion up. So vote, get involved, gimme your all-time top books too. I’ve read zillions of…
Oh look! I’ve done a free comic! My goodness! Well, here we are, click the link, download the thing. Done! Download as a single PDF (Or download as a folder of PNGs) This first comic is a gentle introduction of characters and their various foibles. It’s a quiet, awkward dance between the two main peeps…
Stuck for something to do this weekend? Well, can I interest you in an entire comic universe?! Excellent. This is just a heads-up, as a few people have asked about how to download my comics … I finally got round to updating the 🤌💋 Comics & Downloads page this week, so it’s worth having a…
^ Barely even counts as a spoiler, but yeah there’s some new people. OK … I have completed all of the rendering for Lithium #10*. The comic will not be quite out this week I don’t think, because I still need to do all the bubbles and put like 20 pages together. But I think…
Okay look, I haven’t asked for anything 3D for a long time, but I’m just starting to put together the scenery for the next two comics, and there are a few 3D things I will definitely need. So … if you enjoy my comics and would like to help out by buying me a 3d…
Feels good to be together, doesn’t it? Snuggled up in bed, early-morning light giving that blue glow through the sheets. Casual glass of wine from the night before, offered giggling to a mouth already half-full of croissant. Together is good. Heck, I remember when I could travel all around Europe without the slightest hint of…
Comic five is here! Wahoooo! In our last comic, we learnt the dark family secret that mean aunt Karen had been hiding. Tsss, that woman. Our young heroes managed to survive the news, but now need to figure out the next tentative steps in this already controversial relationship. Fingers crossed it goes well, eh? Download…
Weeell … I was going to start Lithium #13 with Jack having sex with Skylar, like this: … where she’s fallen asleep in a weird position, and he wakes up and is like “OOH … HELLO!”. And I initially wrote it like that because I had that pose of hers in my head and I…
Oh snap I’m dropping a fourth Lithium Comic right now? And it’s Friday … free comics day? Free Friday free comics day?! Oh double snap. Snappity snap. This comic is … the fourth in the Lithium series. It’s also *quite* the cheeky one, so brace yourselves. We don’t see any of Skylar in this one…
OK I’ve been busy. No wait, the other thing. I’ve been wasting time. Busy wasting time. I’ve started making random figurines to join in with the mayhem of the next Lithium Comic (haven’t actually started making that comic yet, but suffice to say … it’s going to be a crazy one. I might wait a…
I need your mummy-son advice – see below. But before we get into that, what incredible weather we’ve had, eh?! Except for right now, as if the weather’s declaring NO MORE SUMMER FOR YOU. Ah well, it has generally been blissful and warm, time for lazing about and reading books and watering the garden ……
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…
Good news everyone, my render machine is alive! Kinda. Anyway I seem to be able to get it to do stuff. Mostly. And I’ve taken this opportunity to limit the CPU usage to like 95% because it does seem to die when it’s trying really hard. Chill out, I say. Have a break now and…
Okay I seem to be PLOUGHING through the Colony comic, even to the extent of maybe approaching figuring out what to do with it in terms of releasing the first comic, or how I’m gonna chop it up into smaller comics etc etc. First thing is I kinda need the wellness colony suite on the…
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,…
I just spent an hour talking to a Jehovah’s Witness, as we do occasionally, eh? Thing is, I have some very close friends who were brought up in Brethren/JW/Mormon households, and now in their late-30s/ early-40s, are only just really getting free from some of the truly damaging concepts these poor dudes get in their…
RRRUNNN!!!! They seemed to exclaim, for some reason, and in a panicky sort of way … that’s right, the EXCITING new ADVENTURE of Captain Madiy and her STURDY pal Crash is surely well on the way, with the first scene or two already done! This one’s going to be a little longer than the first…
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…
Oh, this isn’t a new comic dropping, btw. Don’t get too excited. I’ve been tweaking the final Lithium comic script and stuff, and pretty proud of where this takes us, this one. It’s also been interesting to open old scene files and update the settings – see where the rendering has progressed in the last…
I know what you’re thinking, “You can’t give away that whole scene with those characters! That’s crazy; does Capitalism and the constant accumulation of goods and services mean nothing to you??!!” … and yet here we are. I can and I shall, mwa-ha-haaaa! Get ’em while they’re … nice and clean I guess? Full bathroom…
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),…
Okay we have *checks notes* ten more renders to go before we’re done! Then it’s just adding bubbles and checking through, so it might actually be next week maybe! It’s soooo silly, this comic. In fact I had a read through a few days back and I had to add a note at the beginning…
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…
(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. …
I’ve just noticed that some wonderful human being, from the great wide web of information-connected human beings, has started translating my comics into German!! Awesome! I was just looking at e-hentai to see if someone had kindly shared Skybloom yet and lo! A great bunch of other stuff on there. Gave me a little warm…
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,…
Okay, we’re 110 pages in to Kinfolk #2, and phewff! Turns out it’s going to be a lovely little voyage, this one. I’ve tried to make quiet moments, sort of enjoy the scenery kind of breaks amongst the silly chats or the nudity [or both] … as I think that was a strength of the…
This blog post is inspired by The Night Window, by Thomas Newman. Play it as you read! Why not eh. (Fun fact, lasagne is plural/general, lasagna is singular/specific, apparently. Aaaanyway …) Karen. Is. Lasagne. We all know this, right? Lasagne are made with onions (which make you cry) amongst the deep layers, then the layers…
Alright listen, I love 3D characters, sure. But having used many over the years, I still keep coming back to Victoria4, or ‘V4’, which was designed in about 2006. And I do give new 3D models a chance, you know, I try different ones when they come out. But they suffer basic things, that I…
Been thinking recently about my role in other people’s lives. Like I’ve been clear in my comics about my own trauma and the various paths we take to believing we are worthy of love / towards freedom. But sorting out ourselves is not the end of the story, is it? Because we’re not islands but…
Okay okay after three short days and over fifteen hundred opinions submitted (!), here are a few things I have learnt about you wonderful people of the internet: People care about pyjamas (quite right, quite right); People massively prefer Tartan to Silk; Boobies. All good insights, there; thank you, everyone. Here is a picture of…
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! Read this blog post in full before anyone goes nuts. Sure there’s only two comics to go, but based on (1) recent changes to Poser,…
… I will never drink again. OK I might but I am getting better at avoiding the bingey stuff – you know the borderline self-harm kinda drinking that seems funny on the outside but isn’t on the inside hahaha good times. I just drink sensible amounts these days. Aaaanyway, ahem … my recovery has coincided…
Okay this is a mini rant about Poser, apologies if you’re on the production team for this software and have inherited this vast decades-long nest of bug fixes and patching. I’ve been using it for years, and sure it always gets better in terms of functionality, and the original ergonomics concept alone makes it 10x…
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…
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…
As you may know, I wrote 95% of the Lithium series in one sitting a few years back, and I’ve been working through producing the actual comics every few months. Well, today I took some time out from my not-very-busy work (hey it’s Easter, everyone’s porking chocolate), and FINISHED writing Lithium! 100%. Wahoo! Well. Honestly,…
OK, don’t have a heart attack or anything, but here’s Lithium comic #3!!! Wahoo!! I think I’m getting a bit better at arty CG stuff, so that’s nice. Anyway, this comic includes a certain amount of dick-squeezing, an extraordinary range of nudity, a goodly deal of different bodily fluids, and some extremely awkward moments! Hooray!…
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…
Okay I’ve started packaging up some 3D characters – I’ll share them on this blog soon so if you’re into 3D content, check back! There’s also a few already out there – check the downloads now and then. Pictured above is one of the very earliest development Charlottes I created, based on V4. I think…
Oh dear oh dear I’m not finding much time to blog about this next comic, because it’s just proved toooo much fun spending the time making it. Sorry about that. Sorry ish. It’s also hard releasing images without giving some of the plot away (and I know how much everyone’s here for the PLOT), so…
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…
Hello! Pheweee, boobies eh?!?! Aaaanyway, this incredible video of a Russian soldier has been released. Here is the source. As this blog is still currently available in Russia, and as my blog has a substantial following from within Russia (esp Moscow), here is a simple message of solidarity with the people of Russia, of peace….
^ 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…
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),…
OK so having done 138 pages now, I only just worked out what the cover should be, and rendered it out … So here’s a little preview because when the final comic lands, nobody’s going to notice these details as they ravenously consume the comiccy goodness within, so let’s have a calm look, shall we?…
Thanks everyone for kind comments about the recent Lithium comic, I’m glad people liked it! Someone said that final page (William Bartock’s Yee haa) was like a horror story, haha! It’s a fair point, not sure what the future holds for that cheeky little bugger, lol. Although … Skylar did introduce that doll as “A…
Hello! Okay just a quickie for a few weeks, as the previous post will have alluded to, I’m starting to realise there’s a big pile of blah blah going on in my head and so I’m Taking Action (advanced) before I totally meltdown, and having lots of lovely time off! Yay! Well done all of…
YOU BOY, WHAT DAY IS THIS?!?!! Why, it’s December the 22nd, Sir/Madam/anonymous author of exceptional internet erotica! THEN I HAVEN’T MISSED IT!!!! *runs down stairs* *buys turkey* *throws turkey away because turkey is awful and dry* *buys a goose* *dry-humps Kermit* *rolls self in bacon and leaps into an oven* WELL! A Happy Christmas indeed!…
**Rushes in** *Grabs lip balm* *Slams a few renders down* ^ original skin, gone a bit weird with software updates ^ nice new skin but accidental frankenstein mode heheh ^ ahhh, much better (Thought you might wonder what our heroes were up to. Sitting in the bath and filling it too far,…
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…
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…
Are you an I.T. engineer? Or a tech/computer wizard of some sort? Or, heck, even have a very basic grasp of the existence of computer hardware? Well, settle down; everybody gather round and prepare for a tale that will chill you to your very soul. My render PC has been a bit iffy recently, not…
Lithium Comic #7 is finally here! OK I’ll be honest; I’m pretty proud of this one. It’s the biggest comic I’ve ever made, and I’m glad I didn’t split it up cos some of the nuanced themes needed to be unfolded in one narrative. It’s a mammoth 265 pages, to keep you warm during these…
