May 2023 Artwork Suggestion Box Winner

Hello Diamond Hard Patrons!

There were many good suggestions this month, and it is a hard one to choose. Tigermaster's suggestion about a cinema is too similar to another artwork done a few months back with Peter and Jerry. 

I have decided the winner this month is Alex Ryder with this suggestion:

I'd love to see a story where a shy, geeky kid, sort of like the boy in Body Pillow, is cruising on Grindr and not having much luck. He is surprised to be hit on by the nerd fr...

Announcements, and Bonus Art: The Fun Never Ends!

Hello Patrons! I am back!

My vacation time was very productive. I was able to spend time with my family, do some drawing, and meet some new friends. It did feel weird not working, but it is a well-needed vacation. Some announcements:

Slut for Swim Wear (originally called Slut For Speedos) is on track to release this month. During my vacation, I learned how to economise and streamline my style. It seemed the linework in the old version was too heavy, and there wasn't much energy th...

April 2023 Hiatus

Hello everyone. This is a reminder that I will put my Patreon on pause for the month of April 2023. No one will be billed for that month, and no content will be released . It's my understanding that new patrons will not be able to join that month either. 

But on May 1st, billing will resume and new patrons can join again. Content will also be released in May. For Semi, Rock, and Steel Hard patrons, March content (including Energy Boost Animation) will still be available to them in ...

Energy Boost (Animation Completed!)

Hello Patrons!

Energy Boost is a gay erotic animation more than 10 minutes long about baseball teammates bonding together. It is based on an artwork on a theme suggested by Mark Thompson.

Production on this animation lasted more than five months, and would not have been possible to finish without the help of my assistant animators K.K. and Neko Boy.

Voices are provided by Shay-Ki Fullalove, Existential Angst, Pyre, and myself, Maruten! Music is by Neko Boy.

Thank you a...

Bonus Artwork: April Furs Day

Hello Patrons!

Here is one more artwork for this month, in preparation for #aprilfursday, which is organised by my friend Zephyrus. It all started when I made a fanart of Raymond from Animal Crossing, and posted it on April Fools Day, joking that I have then become a furry artist. Since then, I have made furry-themed art for April 1st, along with a few other artists. 

This year I went with yet another bunny (I've been drawing bunny boys a lot lately!) It's King Kazma from the...

Slut For Speedos WIP01

Hello Steel and Diamond Hard Patrons! 

Here is a work in progress for the next animated project, Slut For Speedos. It's based on a suggestion box artwork. While I have made a bit of progress on it, I have paused work in order to get Energy Boost ready, as well as get ready for my hiatus. I will return to work on this project in Mid-April. So for this reason, I am posting what I have so far. 

Because there are five characters and many lines, I'm trying to find the most ec...

Make It Rain!

Hello Patrons! Here is the artwork of the month, as suggested by Tigermaster.

It's Spring Break for Nick, a rather short but confident fratboy of Lambda Phi Chi. While watching a strip show at a sex club with his fellow fratboys, two tall and muscular dancers ask for an audience member to participate. Being the cocky fratboy that he is, he gets up on stage. "I can take all you guys at once!" he boasts. In front of his bros, he is then double penetrated by both dancers. No one can believ...

March 2023 Artwork Suggestion Box Winner

Hello Diamond Hard Patrons! Here is the winner of this month's suggestion box, as suggested by Tigermaster:

A Suggestion that I have is two hot muscular strippers at a sex club tell everyone that they wanna fuck a audience member. They call up nick a college jock. Nick goes up they DP him and they cum in his ass while he is cumming from  being fucked.

Double penetration is always hot, and I have some ideas for Nick, just imagine a college student sandwiched between two bigger...

Tastes Like Pineapple

Hello Patrons! Sorry for the delay in bringing this month's art of the month. I was busy wrapping up on Energy Boost, and February is a short month. But here is the artwork of the month, as a variation set, as suggested by Zoltonx.

In the summer I often enjoy going to the nude beach to get a full tan. One day I was not aware that I had a full boner, and a few guys approached me to suck me off. They seemed to enjoy me, especially considering that I had some pineapple that afternoon. Gott...

Energy Boost: WIP05

Hello Steel and Diamond Hard patrons!

The massive project that is Energy Boost is nearing completion! There are just a few more things to animate, and music and sound is being figured out. This month, I don't have too much to show as a WIP, but it is a really sweet kissing scene, showing the different stages from rough to clean. 

Next month will see the release of the finished animation. In the meantime, the final WIP is downloadable at the link below. Enjoy!

Energy Boost: Animation special preview 04

Hello Patrons!

Here is the final preview of Energy Boost before it releases in March. The final bits of animation will be done this week, and I am awaiting sound. I'm really excited to see it come together. 

In this final preview, you will see the first few minutes of story leading up to the sex. The voice actors Existential Angst and Shay-Ki Fullalove, who also voiced in the previous completed animation "If You Wanna Pass", return to voice the teammates Shimizu and Koizumi.<...

Suggestion box winners this month

Hello Diamond Hard Patrons!

Here are the winners of this month's suggestion box votes. First of all, Zoltonx suggested this one:

How about a chance encounter.  A twink is on the beach and gets naked to take in some sun.  A few minutes later, a number of other twinks come down the beack and see the cutie.  At this point he has fallen asleep and has a very nice boner.  One of the new boys cannot resist and starts sucking on it.  That causes the rest to get n...

Roommates Series Compilation

Hello Patrons, and happy Valentines Day! Here is a bonus animation for this month to celebrate. 

As Gay and Straight Roommate won the poll for most favourite characters, I figured it would be great to make a compilation of the trilogy. It is also a good animation to offer while Energy Boost is still being finished. 

Below are links to the compilation, as well as individual animations for you to download. Enjoy!

2023 January Poll Results

Hello Patrons! Thanks so much for participating in the annual January Poll. The results came in, and there is a lot of interesting information. 

The Roommate series characters were the most popular original characters by far, with some old favourites following. But I was surprised to see Massimo rank so low. Meanwhile there was a close race between the characters of Der Skater and If You Wanna Pass. It also looks like suggestion box characters are generally liked more than fan char...

Energy Boost: WIP04

Hello Steel and Diamond Hard Patrons!

The hard work is paying off, it seems. I had a small burnout getting scenes ready, but look at what me and my animation assistants achieved. In this reel, there are more story-related scenes with some acting. Near the end there are a few sexy scenes! This may be one of the longer WIP's that I have done in a while. 

I gotta say, I haven't animated so many hands in such a while. It's fun, but forces me to think outside of thrusting hips and...

Happy Lunar New Year 2023, The Year Of The Rabbit

Hello Patrons! Here is a bonus artwork for the month. It is now Lunar New Year in Asia as of this posting. This year happens to be the year of the rabbit. For this year's illustration I went with a magic theme. Aren't bunnies cute? This one certainly is!

There are two versions in this art set. (WARNING) Please be aware that the second artwork in this set involves urethral insertion of the wand. If you only want to download the image above, I also have it attached to this post.

Hadrian's Awakening

Hello Patrons! Here is the artwork of the month! It was suggested by Lucca Berger.

During Hadrian's days before he became the emperor, he wandered outside the city to a gladiator school, where in the deeper halls he spotted a young gladiator recovering from his training. This warrior, named Noro, exchanged glances with Hadrian, however Hadrian was glancing elsewhere in shock, at Noro's legs spread out far and wide. It was then that Hadrian knew, that he was really into guys!

This ...

Energy Boost: Animation special preview 03

Hello Patrons! Here is the third special preview of Energy Boost the animation.

Imagine that you are Tetsuya, and you're looking down at Shimizu giving you real good head. His hungry eyes look back at you, to see the really good job he is doing. You approve of his skills. He really is a great team player!

Energy Boost special preview 03 is available to download through the link below. Enjoy!

January 2023 Artwork Suggestion Box Winner

Hello Diamond Hard Patrons! The winner of this month's artwork suggestion box is Lucca Berger, with this suggestion:

Hadrian’s awakening - Many years before Hadrian became Roman Emperor, he discovered his lust for young men while visiting a Gladiator school outside of Rome. Not being interested in what is explained to him, he soon starts to explore the training facilities, quarters and finally also the dark underground compartments meant for recovery of the future fighters. As Hadrian...

An update on Energy Boost progress, and an upcoming hiatus

Hello Patrons! I have several bits of news for you, mostly regarding Energy boost.

The animation, Energy Boost, is now on track to be done for the month of March! I have finished a final script, and will review auditions for all four roles. The voice actors will be selected soon. I have been getting more assistance with my animators, and that is progressing well too. But an exact date in March will still depend on how things keep running smoothly. 

The third special preview w...

2023 January Poll #6: Should all projects have patron credits?

Hello Patrons! Here is the last of the polls for the annual January Polls! 

At the end of each animated project, I mention the support of patrons as a credit. But for larger projects such as Star Love, Massimo, and Energy Boost, I make a credit call for patrons to be named individually. I know some patrons want, or do not want, to be named in the credits, so a credit call is made each month of production.

What I am wondering is, if individual names should be credited in all a...

023 January Poll #5: What kinks do you want to see more of?

Hello Patrons! If you haven't seen the previous poll, please have a look and vote. This poll focuses on kinks. The previous poll focuses on vanilla, but also gives you the choice of vanilla or kink.

I've learned this year that my patrons like a bit of raunch! There was filthy underwear, armpits, speedos and more. I do hope to explore more kinks if my patrons vote for it. So please, v...

2023 January Poll #4: What content do you like to see?

Hello Patrons! Here is the next poll. Each year, I ask what kind of content you would like to see. This year I am separating many of the mainstream subject matter from the fetishistic matter, which will be in a separate poll.

Threesomes and foursomes came on top in last year's poll, and here I am now animating a foursome as the current animation project. If enough of a subject is voted on, that...
