Here are the first render composites for the first page of the comic... I will be assembling these and other images with narration to publish the first page - But I wanted to give you a view into what I Have been working on this week.
I will also be sending out a download link of the last animation later this afternoon/evening, so stay tuned for that!

I'd like you all to meet the chacter for the NEW comic now in production. This new story is going to feature on of the $50 patron rewards - a personal likeness character to be featured in a story.
I have saved everyone's suggestions and links from my questionnaire - and am excited to dig into those and come up with an Adventure or Epic story.
In the mean time, we will detour and play around with a custom story written by rtrose for the Patron Reward.
Stay tuned for mor...

Here is some previs work that I am doing preparing for our next COMIC. I'd like you all to meet the Foreman for the construction project that will be happening in our story. He is a minor character of sorts - but I wanted to give you all a feel for which way we are headed with this next one, without giving too much away.
More to come very very soon!

Here is the finished version of the Underwear MG Short!
I will be regrouping this week and figuring out the story for the next project.
This time I will be returning to my creative roots on Patreon by doing another COMIC story.
This story will be featuring another one of our $50 Patrons as the protagonist.
Im super excited to figure this next project out and jump in!
I will be putting the rewards pack for this video together in the next couple days 2022-03-20 01:02:35 +0000 UTC View Post
Rendering is pretty much done. (I have two more angles to render) Today was spent Doing some final touches and edits, as well getting that sound design done right!
So excited for this one!

Running a few more render passes - so we can see our main character in allll his transformed muscle growth glory, and then I’ll do the sound design for the tf and hopefully wrap up our animation this week at some time.
THEN - I can move on to a new COMIC.
Stay tuned!

This one took a bit of trial and error on the timing and subtle movement of the shoulders to activate the pec bounce WHILE he is pulsing all over and growing bigger....
but Id say it is a success!
more soon!

It’s preparation time! As I finish up the underwear animation - I'm looking for some EPIC story ideas for a next comic. I have some things sautéing on some back burners that id like to do. But I wanna hear from you.
CRITERIA:
Epic in the sense that id like to do something off the beaten path - pirate transformation/muscle growth, Assassins Creed (odyssey) style, medieval something or another. If you have LINKS to stories that fit this kind of criteria, submit them in the commen...

Here is a very rough cut of the first part of the muscle growth for you guys. I will be working on some more to finish the scene and wrapping up the animation, as well as sound design and other effects.
For now tho - enjoy!

Terrible angle I know - but both towers are synced and up and running.
The plan is to have one tower completely dedicated to rendering - while I’m able to work on the other and keep things moving.
Hopefully this will improve my work flow for animations as well as comics - as I won’t have to stop and wait on the computer program while it renders. (Which can feel like waiting for water to boil)
Anyway - the next scene is under way and we will have some transformative mu...

Here’s some real life muscle growth for everyone that I wanted to share!
I’m currently 14 weeks out from my first show, sitting at 247lbs. The goal is to get down to around 220 on stage in June
These are check in pics for my coach from yesterday.
So stoked for this!
Important side note!!
The new tower came in yesterday and I’m working on transferring files over so I can start using one computer solely to render!
Stay tuned!

In order to keep producing at a quality level that will not only satisfy, but grow my Patreon - I am taking a leap ahead of my monthly goal (at somewhat of a financial detriment to myself - but still a positive for my business) and adding another tower to my rendering set up.
This is scheduled to be delivered Monday - and I will get it set up from there to hopefully move forward on and finish our underwear animation soon after.
The scene size and updates to my 3D software are pu...

Still working the kinks out in this latest addition to the scene - but we are getting into the dressing room and actual growth here.
Keep in mind that these posts are WORK IN PROGRESS and could be fixed/edited further to make a better end product. The main purpose is to keep you guys abreast of what is going on on my end.
For now tho - ENJOY!

This is a little bit of info concerning how the process of putting together animation works for me.
Due to the complex geometry of the characters, having more than one in a scene can bog down the render time immensely.
To bypass this, it is necessary to run several "passes" of each part of the scene.
Background Pass
Midground Pass (if necessary) and a
Foreground Pass
In the last animation - Macho - All of the scenes were rendered character alone, and ...

Checkin in with you guys! here is a post to preview whats getting built currently. Right now I am running several "passes" of animation to create different parts of a scene.
More on that in another post.
For now tho... check out that GYMJUNKIE underwear display ;)

When developing new animations I tend to run tests on things to see if they will work. This could be several different things unrelated to the ACTUAL animation - these tests will be included in upper level WIP rewards packs. But this one was just too good not to share with everyone!
I hope you all enjoy
The underwear animation is well under way and I will be sharing more from the GJ Maxx Store this week
Talk Soon!

Since Venom came out I wanted to revamp my character to something similar to the movie. And now that the Universes have crossed - I Felt even MORE pressed to do so.
Well... Here he is! Featured in a Desktop and Phone wallpaper for you all!

2022-01-30 17:50:32 +0000 UTC View PostFor every 5 seconds of animation it can take up to 12hrs to render.
IF a video ends up being approx 3 min long - that works out to:
144 hrs per min of animation,
multiplied by 3 minutes, That is
432 hrs of total time rendering.
That ends up being:
18 days worth of non stop rendering (24hr periods).
If I was to divide that into 8hr work days that would equal: 54 days of solid w...

Since the name of the store that our main character will be picking up his NEW Underwear is called GJ MAXX - I find it only fitting for GYMJUNKIE himself (ME) to make a cameo in this episode as the store clerk... ;) Also a still shot of the store front from the intro
