Animation #4: Officer Muscle Growth

It's here guys ^_^  

After so many months and so many weekends dedicated to just animating and working on it after getting off of my dayjob, the 4th main animation, simply titled "Officer Muscle Growth" is finally complete!

I want to thank you patrons so much for supporting me all throughout! And I hope you enjoyed seeing the progress updates as the animation slowly but surely started to come together~! And  I can't believe its actually done. Totalling at a full 3:00 mi...

Animation #4 - Update 9 (Part 3/3 Line-work complete!)

Here's some good news guys. I finally completed the line work for the entrie animation! It's mostly colored and I only need to make background art for it now :)

What I am showing you here is just a bit of the final part, as I really want to make keep the risky parts under wraps until they are fully perfected!

That shot when the officer is enjoying his growth (When he says "This feels amazing") took me forever! Haha, it took me most of an entire day JUST to get it r...

A quickie update on the progress! (Animation #4)

So, it's been a while since I've update y'all on the current animation I have been working on.

It hasn't gone as far along at this point in time than I wanted it to. But it's still going great! As a way to organize how I do things, I am working on the animation as 3 seperate parts. Good news? The first part of the animation has full final linework done for it!

This truly is a big project, the final video will total out at 3 minutes! The longest I've ever done. Though I have t...

Toriko Muscle Growth (Animation Request)

Here's a little something. ^_^ Another comission I did recently which stars Toriko from the anime of the same name.

Apparently this scene supposedly happened behind the scenes, but was not shown in either the anime or the manga chapter. I was requested to portray it within said time.

I really tried to get the look of the anime as close to it as I could get. I am happy with the results.

-Enjoy! ^_^ (An update on the officer animation coming, so stay tuned!)

A new year! 2017

Hi folks!

Firstly, Happy New Year to all off you! ^^

With a new year, comes a new look! This Patreon page now has a new profile image and banner! Some other changes will be coming as well~

After the current animation I am working on is finished (ANIM #4), I am planning on changing up how I will make animations. With a voting system!

I thought about how I could make this Patreon more engaging with my patrons. And this came to mind. With a voting system, patrons will ...

Animation #4 - Update 4 (Animated Rough)

Hi guys!

Got another update for ya, and it's one that shows part of the second half of the animation! The video here shows you what happens after that last panel from the storyboards I had posted earlier :)

These are some rough gesture drawings, and not final line work. The first half of the animation is mostly finished with the linework. But since the second half contains most of the growth happening, it naturally takes longer to animate and get just right! :)

Hope you enjo...

Animation #4 - Update 3 (Line-work Screenshots)

Hi guys, and happy holidays! :)

As I ramp up the production on my next animation, I have another update for ya! Here I have some shots in which the final linework is complete and ready to go! The blue areas are where shadows will be later on.

Animation #4 - Update 2 (Early Storyboards)

So, I finally recieved the audio from mr. GiganticBeast, who I had talked about in an earlier post. Now I begin making the visual for it :)

Here are some very very rough storyboard sketches of the shots I am planning on using for the animation. It is quite fun working with dialouge, and it makes some of the decisions I make very interesting to do. ^_^

Usually for the tier (and above) that this post is accessable to, I usually post screenshots. Those will come in time as well. But I...

Animation 4 - Update (A big switcheroo!)

Hi guys!

I am here with some exciting news! Another muscle growing enthusiast that goes by the name of GiganticBeast, has partnered up with me to create an animation!

GB specializes in doing Audio work, so that's where he will be helping me with. We will partner to create an original new animation, and probably the longest animation yet!

Because of this, I will have to put the Lumberjack animation I am working on, on hold for a while. 

The new one I will...

A Thanks! : )

Hi guys!

Today where I live we celebrate the holiday of Thanksgiving. And I just wanted to drop in to show my appreciation to all the awesone patrons supporting me! 

You keep me going on with the animations. I hope you all have a wondeful day! ^_^

--Taka

Animation 4 - Update 1

So I have been tinkering aroung with many ideas for my next animation. One I am fond of is the idea of a lumberjack getting really big. :)

I am not there with it yet though, so I will see if it sticks. I'll keep you guys updated ^^

Once the idea is set, patrons of the $5 and above levels will get to see the next update with WIP images, then the $10 and above will get to see that and WIP renders!

A quick update :) (11/11/16)

Hello patrons, I am here to thank you once again for supporting me as I created my latest animation. It seems to be quite the hit ^_^ Your kind words propel me forward to do bigger and better each time.  I have commenced  pre-production on my next animation. Which means the very early planning stages, getting ideas gathered, and such.

So I will be seeing you all soon on the next update! :) 

This is also a very warm welcome to new patrons that just joined! I hop...

Animation #3: Stimulated Muscle Growth

Good day, Patrons! I come to you once more with a completed animation. :)

This one in particularly has been in my head for a while. I have always wanted to do this, so thank you so much again patrons for your support! ^_^

This is the longest animation I have made so far, and the work was doubled by having two characters in it. But I definitively enjoyed making it! And as a patron, you are the first to see it! :) So, I made two versions of it that slightly differ.

An Important Update on Payments

Hey guys,

I have gone ahead with a big change and switched to the "Charge Upfront" pledge payment method from this point onward.

For existing patrons, this does not change much. You will be charged on the first of the month like always and you can cancel your pledge anytime before that.

For new patrons, you will be...

Animation #3 - (Final Line-work Progress)

Hi guys! ^^So for my latest animation, I am done with all the final line work! I am also done with most of the shading!(Not shown here). I am definitively gonna have the animation for you guys sometime this week. Most of the work left is some shading, and audio work.

Also, what is posted here is not the full animation. There are some scenes still needing some touch ups.

Animation #3 - (WIP Screenshots)

Greetings Patrons! I am here with my second update on the animation I have currently been working on.

I bring you some screenshots of some key moments. This time around I am showing you the frames with mostly final line work! Although there are some roughs still here and there :) The light blue areas are areas where shadows will eventually go.

Patron FAQ!

I thought it would be a good idea to post an FAQ everyone could see, just in case they had questions about being a patron. So here it is!

1. How many animations are you producing?
-I had originally planned on doing one a month, but have decided to give myself some room  so I will try to be doing one every 2-3 months or less. Any extra will be the ones for pledge rewards.

2. What rewards am I entitled to?
-Depending...

Animation #3 - Characters

Greetings, folks!

Here I am with my first update for the next animation. The two new characters in the image are the ones that will star in the next story. One of them has acquired  some very special muscle growth pills that have a certain requirement to make them work. Only one will take the pills, but both will be enjoying the night ;)

 There will be two more updates coming this month before the animation is released to you all first. An update with work in progress scre...

A quick little update (Oct 2016)

Alright, guys! After working on getting September rewards done this week, I am ready to start production on my next animation.

I want to thank all the new patrons for joining! I'll be posting updates on my next animation as I go throughout the month.

Thanks again, and enjoy!

Animation #2: Muscle Growth before interview

Good day! I have completed the animation I had set to make towards the end of the month of September. Some things were cut out in the final product, but only minor stuff.

It might be just a little growth, but fun nonetheless. The first story animation I had done was also during September and I plan on doing one a month, so this is kind of a bonus! Something Interesting I did was  experiment camera movement while characters grow and loved the result!

 This is also a character in...
