April 2024 Artwork Suggestion Box Winner

Hello Diamond Hard Patrons! We have quite an interesting result for this month's artwork suggestion box. It was a bit of a hard decision to make, as this doesn't happen very often. I will explain the results as follows.

Coming out on top was a suggestion by M, involving Colton and Cory, and another set of twins. As much as I do enjoy Colton and Cory, this has to be disqualified because it is blatant incest. Unfortunately Patreon does not allow this type of content, and I am not willing...

April 2024 Suggestion Box reminder

Hello Diamond Hard Patrons! Just a reminder that the Artwork Suggestion Box will close at midnight April 15 (eve of the 14th PT). Among the suggestions, I will choose among the top three to make an artwork. Going forward these reminders will become a regular thing, so new suggestions get the fair amount of views. Vote for your favourites!

You Want Me To Keep My Fursuit On Or Off?

Hello Patrons, and Happy April Fools Day!

Or as my friend Zephyrus Orgy has been promoting it, as April Furs Day. It's been a running thing since I first made some artwork of Raymond from Animal Crossing in April 2020. I've been doing some kind of furry-related art each April Fools since then, but I think this will be the last one. I don't relate too much with the furry fandom, especially as I have found out recently on a visit to a furry convention. But for any of my furry fans, it ha...

April 2024 Artwork Suggestion Box

Hello Diamond Hard patrons! Here is the artwork suggestion box for April.

The artwork suggestion box is open from the 1st to the 14th of the month. In the comments, write what you want to see. It can be a theme, character, action, scenario, or a combo of them. Of the top three comments with the most likes by the 15th, one will be chosen by me to become an artwork for the month. This will happen for each month. Every six months, I put them to a vote for which should become an animation....

Natursekt

Hello Patrons!

Here is the artwork of the month, as a variation set. It was suggested by Loy Rash.

Der Footballer comes across a skate park, and wonders if Der Skater is there. Indeed he is, and the two engage in some heat of the moment kinkiness in a less busy area of the park.

Please be aware that the art variation set is divided into two folders, with one vanilla folder (maruten158_cum) and one kink folder (maruten158_ws_cum), in case some of you are not too into kink!<...

You Looking Up My Shorts? WIP 02

Hello Steel and Diamond Hard Patrons! Thanks for your patience as I get this project finished for April. This is the second part of the animation, where Brody holds Max in a nelson pose, still wearing their shorts. This was quite something to figure out in terms of layering and composition, but it could be another hot favourite.

I have script, and voice acting in process, so we shall see how long this animation ends up being. Be on the lookout for the finished animation next month. In ...

You Looking Up My Shorts? Special Preview!

Hello Patrons! I am pleased to show off some animation that has been completed so far on the latest animation, called "You Looking Up My Shorts?" Max and Brody ended a running session on the canal, but while sitting for a rest, Brody can't help but look up his friend's shorts. Max really does like to show off!

The completed animation should be up in April. There is still much more that happen in the animation, so please stay tuned. In fact, Steel and Diamond Hard Patrons will get to see...

Suggestion Box Winners (for Art and Animation Mar 2024)

Hello Diamond Hard Patrons!

Thanks again for participating in this month's suggestion box votes/polls. Here are the winners for this round:

The winner of the artwork of the month is Loy Rash, with this suggestion: 

I imagine the footballer following the skater to the local skate park, where the skater spots the footballer spying from a bush, so he pulls him out and he and his skater boy friends give the footballer an intense golden shower followed up by showering the fo...

Suggestion Box reminder

Hello Diamond Hard Patrons! Just a reminder that the Artwork Suggestion Box will close at midnight March 15 (eve of the 14th PT). Among the suggestions, I will choose among the top three to make an artwork.  The poll to vote for the next animation will also close that same time. The top winner of that poll will become the next animation. 

I used to make these reminders in the past, but found that may have become too spammy. But this time around I have seen comments that remind...

March 2024 Artwork Suggestion Box

Hello Diamond Hard patrons! We are kicking off another round of six artwork suggestion boxes. Be sure to check out the other poll, to vote on last round's artworks, to become an animation. By the way, if you had already won a suggestion box in the previous six month block, you can now make suggestions in the current six month block starting this month.

Here is the artwork suggestion box for March.

The artwork suggestion box is open from the 1st to the 14th of the month. In the co...

It's time for another suggestion box animation poll, and as Diamond Hard Patrons, you get the say in what the next animation should be. 

Choose from the six past Suggestion Box artwork winners from the past six months. The winner of this poll will become an animation. And the patron that suggested the idea can also be credited. You may vote for however ma...

Running Shorts (working title) WIP 01

Hello Steel and Diamond Hard Patrons! Here is the latest animation project. Last month you saw some of the beginning work on the new episode of Star Love. Animation won't begin on that for a while. But in the meantime, here is an animation about two running buddies. They get a little turned on by running shorts. This could end up as another favourite of mine. 

The WIP can be downloadable through the link below. A few gifs are also attacted with this post. Enjoy!

On A Guy Shimasu!

Hello Patrons! This is the artwork of the month, as suggested by Raphael Bourdot. The nerd and jock return for some more action.

Being such a fan of anime and manga, the nerd is naturally enrolled in Japanese language classes at Northwest University. He helps the Jock who needs extra credits for the year. "Onegaishimasu is a useful word you know," the nerd says. But the jock has his mouthful of cock. "how do you say that again?" Nerd answers "It's just like where I will shoot my load......

February 2024 Artwork Suggestion Box Winner

Hello Diamond Hard Patrons! We have a winner for this month's artwork suggestion box. It was a pretty close one with some great ideas. But coming out on top is Raphael Bourdot, with this suggestion:

Nerd from "If you wanna pass" is creaming the face of the jock who was sucking him under the table.

Seems Nerd and Jock are very popular, as this is the third suggestion box illustration that at least the Nerd has appeared in. I have had an idea either a library or the back of a lectur...

Happy Lunar New Year 2024: Year of the Dragon

Hello Patrons! It's another Lunar New Year, and this time it is the year of the dragon. Probably the most interesting Chinese zodiac sign I have done so far. I had so many ideas but I had to simplify it. I went with the theme of mahjong tiles, which feature three dragons of different colours. Looks like this dragon buy has his own little (or big) dragon of his own!

I wish you all a successful and happy Lunar New Year! The artwork is attached with this post. Enjoy!

Five Years of Maruten Ultra-Mega-Compilation!

Hello Patrons!

This month marks the five year anniversary of Maruten on Patreon! I would never have thought back then that my audience would grow to the size that it has, or that I would continue to make animation five years on! And there is no stopping, I have so many more ideas to animate for you. Thank you all for your support all these years!

To celebrate, I made something monumental, Five Years of Maruten Ultra-Mega-Compilation! I have wanted to compile all of my animation in...

February 2024 Artwork Suggestion Box

Hello Diamond Hard patrons! Here is the artwork suggestion box for February.

The artwork suggestion box is open from the 1st to the 14th of the month. In the comments, write what you want to see. It can be a theme, character, action, scenario, or a combo of them. Of the top three comments with the most likes by the 15th, one will be chosen by me to become an artwork for the month. This will happen for each month. Every six months, I put them to a vote for which should become an animati...

Star Love 2: Space Pirates (working title) WIP01

Hello Steel and Diamond Hard Patrons! Here the WIP for this month.

Star Love will get another episode! But animation will not start until more development is done. I was hoping to get a lot of work done on concepts, but this month had been very busy trying to complete Me Time. It was a domino effect from Sloppy Seconds taking more time to complete than anticipated. However, in these last few days I have been able to get started on concepts, and I even have a little outline of...

Me Time

Hello Patrons! I have a new animation for you. Tyler may have an active sex life in college, but sometimes he just needs time to himself. And lucky for him he has the skills to do that!

SkayKi Fullalove voices Tyler and Neko Boy does music and sound.

The animation can be downloaded through the link below. Enjoy!

Fresh Meat

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

A new inmate has joined the cell, and the two prisoners get to know each other a bit more. They hit it off so well that they spend the rest of their sentence fucking the nights away!

The artwork is downloadable in the attachment, or through the link below. Enjoy!

Results of January Poll 2024

Hello Patrons! Thanks for voting in this year's January Poll! I have the results put together, with a little breakdown of the results, and what has changed from year to year. Do have a look at the graphs in the post for more details. Conclusions and final thoughts are also below.

Who are your favourite characters?

Some of the results have not changed, the Roommates are still popular, but Karl and Jordan rose in popularity, with Peter Byron and Jerry Sandridge drop...

A final reminder for 2024's January Polls

Hello Patrons! Thanks for participating in the annual January Polls. All polls should have been posted, and they will close on January 25th, midnight. I have seen that Patreon had some issues with some patrons not being able to enter their polls. If you are having trouble, please try using different browsers, or try on a phone or desktop. Please also feel free to comment on the topics, as all information can be very useful. 

Results will be posted once I have been able to gather al...

January Poll #9: Are you happy with how the suggestion box works?

Hello Diamond Hard Patrons! Here is a poll that is open to you only. It concerns the suggestion box and how it is run. As you know, everyone has an opportunity to suggest an artwork which may eventually become an animation. As time went on, some of the suggestions got too complicated to illustrate in one drawing. So several new rules had to be made. 

Do you like how the suggestion box is run? Or does it feel unfair or hard to get a suggestion in? Do you have ideas that could make t...

January Poll #8: What merchandise would you be interested in buying?

Hello Patrons! Here is the last poll for all patrons this year. I wish I could have done more research into this, but I guess conducting this poll still counts as research.  Would you be interested in Maruten merchandise?

I am seriously thinking about dedicating more time to merchandise, as having...

January Poll #7: Should all projects have Patron credits?

Hello Patrons! Here is another poll for this year. I had asked this question before, and I had since then done credit call for only the big projects, such as Star Love, Massimo vs Inicka, Energy Boost, and Switch Gaymers. For small projects I did not send out a credit call. 

However it sometimes happens that what was originally a small project would balloon into a large project, such as De...

January Poll #6: Fantasy or reality?

Hello Patrons! Here is another poll, and it is a new question I haven't asked before, but it is something I have been curious about. Do you like animation with fantasy settings, or more reality-based? 

In animation, it is possible to bring anything to life. I do enjoy animating things that can't be done in real life, such as zero gravity science fiction in Star Love, or magic in Grinding F...

January 2024 Artwork Suggestion Box Winner

Hello Diamond Hard Patrons! It's time to reveal this month's suggestion box winner. It is VengeanceKnight, with this suggestion:

Two prison boys fuck away their sentence on their cell bunk.

This should be an interesting one! Could both guys be straight? Could one be more dominant than the other? We will see what I come up with. Thanks everyone for participating again, the artwork will be up before the end of the month!

January Poll #5: Do you prefer quality or quantity?

Hello Patrons! It's time for another poll, this is one of the smaller questions, but helps me figure out how I work and schedule things. Are you willing to wait for completion of a project if the results are worth it, or do you prefer to see new content released more frequently?

In the past, animations were released one project each month, and the projects were pretty simple. But as I learned t...

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

Hello Patrons! Here is another one of my favourite polls. What kinks do you like to see? I have noticed that many of my patrons andf followers elsewhere enjoy some raunch. I have added a few new entries this year, and really interested in what you like. 

Do note that there is a separate poll for vanilla. Check out that one also while you can!

Have a vote for all of the entries you like. The poll ends on January 25 midnight. Feel free to comment about other things you like to ...

January Poll #3: What subject matter do you like to see?

Hello Patrons! Here is one of my favourite polls to do, what subject matter do you like to see? This helps me see what you all like. I have noticed that anal is consistently a big winner. But it is also interesting to see how some of the others fare as I gain new patrons. 

Do note that there is a separate poll for kinks. Check out that one also while you can!

Have a vote for all of the entries you like. The poll ends on January 25 midnight. Feel free to comment about other th...
