The little details

 

Okay, at some point my characters will need to sit down and get some food in them, we don't want them passing out now, do we?! No. 

So I've built a meal scene and it took far more effort than I'd expected haha! So I will blog about it even if nobody cares ... because I do. Now I probably could have cut corners creating this meal, but then my comics wouldn't be my comics, would they? They wouldn't be works of love and intricacy, they'd just be rough fantasies spaffed out into the world as fast as possible. And nobody needs that. 

So here is a little lighting test; some beautiful displacement-mapped bread, some fine bump-mapped reflective tabletop grain, a glass with actual caustics appearing (that's light transmission; the bright spot to the right of the glass above), the reflective side of a bottle of champagne, the deep reds of a full bottle of wine, a nice shiny plate and an admittedly slightly crap-looking plate of spaghetti. We love the little details of life, because they are all so heartbreakingly imperfect ... and perhaps therein lies the perfection.

  1. Oh, I love your blog, so please write about anything what you want. 😀 Otherwise, you don't use Place mat (e.g. IKEA Svartsenap)? In my family is this always on the kitchen table where take us the breakfast, but we don't use on big family dinner for example.

  2. Them sitting next to each other gives them access to feeding each other which can be fun as well as sensual.
    Pasta is a healthy meal for the extra energy they're going to be needing.
    Thank you for all the effort.

It's official! I'm part of the STFW universe!!!

I've been doing some work on this blog, including an exciting new Feedback page - please do leave some feedback about any of my first three comics on that page, if you like; it will help me :) And I haven't had a chance to blog about it - been so busy recently and I've been meaning to, but ... after a few email back-and-forths with Sindy Anna Jones (bit of a hero and a mentor for me), the Rather Magnificent Family Bubble is officially within the Sindy (/&STFW) comic universe!!!! I am so excited about this! Well, I was a few months ago when it happened, haha! How it happened was I had some ideas for maybe weaving a few of my characters into their Lithium comic plot, and they have kindly added me into their series listing at the end of their recent standalone comic, Grace, look: ... anyway, the plot tie-in will start to make more sense within my comic number four. So check back! And if you haven't read Grace , or Lithium, or any of Sindy's work ... you are very ...
