Just a small rant

 Since it's been a while since I started this journey, I have started noticing many things when it comes to 2D animations in general. I realized that many animators take understandable shortcuts in the process, such as using morphing tools or cut-out solution whenever possible.

 Well my frustration is... yeah, I use Ctrl + C -> Ctrl + V any time I can, but in general I dislike the results of these kind of animation tools. So sometimes it gets to spending a long ass time just to get those couple seconds to look as you want them to (see end of the video) while having a miniscule change from a frame to the next one.

 But hey, that's how a button pop statisfies me :D

Announcements and Updates

Hi everyone!

So, despite the lack of updates recently, I have of course been working on the next project and I have a few updates.

- Unless I change my mind for whatever reason, the next project is another Special. Unlike the Christmas or the Easter specials done in the past, this one will look a lot like a regular MG video of mine.

- The idea of the special is simply for the 10k follower on X, as I did for the 300 and 1000 followers. I feel that would be a milestone. However, since I don't have 10k follower yet and given the slow output of content due to the nature of my work, I am goin to release the comic "The Factory" for free on X in clusters of 4 pages starting tomorrow, weekly. Then maybe I'll upload it on sites like MyReadingManga.

- Lastly, I'm sorry to say, but just prior to the upload of the next video, I'll most likely update the price for the animation tier by just a little more. It's not that I'd like to, but I feel like my reasoning behind it is fair. That is of course without omitting the immense gratitude I have for each and everyone of you who decided to support me.

Are you also into...

As for this adventure to move foreward, I was wondering: would you also be into the followimg stuff?

Too Many Bulky Bars - Full Version

Took me long enough, hope you enjoy!

Last Preview

As always happens, I tend to disappear when the finish line gets close. And it is, finally, very close. As custom, this is the last post I make before the full animation.

Since I shared a couple times the timelapse for the animating process, I thought I'd share the shading and coloring step as I do them. Of course I didn't realize it stopped recording, but here it is.

My new year's wish for you all <3

Next video trailer + updates

So, where have I been? Nowhere, I was and still am working on this, yet haven given any updates for a while. I was hoping to have the video out a while ago but clearly I underestimated the work ahead.

I won't deny though, I could and should have done better. I know it is unprofessional to call in personal toubles, but I hope you can accept my apology anyway.

On a good note, I think while this video will be shorter than the last, it will be once again better quality then before (as I see it at least). This one will se a guy inspired by the streamer Calilum eating too many Beast D's protein bars, which will take effect during an elevator ride.

When will the video be out? I shouldn't be too long, but I don't like risking fake promises, so while I'd absolutely love it for you to stay here on my Patreon page, I totally get it if you leave until the video is out. Just be sure to follow my Twitter (X) and/or YouTube channel to be updated when the video comes out!

Too many bulky bars?

Chest

Y'all know what's about to happen here...

Second arm

Sometimes I'd rather not show previews because of a "spoiler" mindset, so I just don't. However, at some point I feel like I have to show something just to say "I'm working on it, sorry if this thakes so long".

I have also realized I'm very not talktive with you guys, and it doesn't seem fair towards you here on patreon, nobody forced you to support me, so I should show more gratitude. In my defense, I really am "the quiet type". So I'll try to interact more with you like... in the comments & shit

Arm growth

A growing arm, basic thing, but an all time classic... I think the other arm will grow in a more powerful way tho

Hehehe, man boobies

Sad animator's life

Animating a mirror scene knowing in the final product most of it won't be seen due to prospective and the guy standing between the camera and the mirror :(

Project announcement

So, you can't tell which one from this preview, but I really like the ideas you sent my way and I've chosen one. 

 Now, this character will have a light beard later on (if I find a way to make it decently easy), and maybe a few among you can even recognize who he's inspired by.

I'm back!

So... I'm back from my vacation. Not really well rested but still ready to get back at growing guys. I must confess, however, I'm a bit uninspired. Why don't you guys drop down here your MG wishes or content I should check out to get me going?

 I won't open links, so if you want to point me at content just tell me what to look for

Alien Slime part 2

We did it, we finally did it. I feel pretty statisfied, I hope so do you!

Last preview

I know it looks like I ceased existing, but no, I just locked myself for the final push. We are very close to the end, I swear!

Preview number...?

So, I'm trying to work on some audio parts. Just give in to the growth 🔉🔉💪

I'm genuenly sorry this is taking so long, between technical difficulties and many, many personal troubles I just hope you'll find the wait worth it. At least we're getting very close to the end product

Update

Ok, so... I'm finally approaching the final phases of the animation. Expected video lenght: about 6 minutes. One character will be most likely dubbed today. Then a few transition shots, color, shading and editing. Can't give an exact time frame, but honestly the sooner the better, I can't stand this anymore ahahah

Never, ever stop the growth

Update

So, the main body of the animation is at a good point, the important parts are pretty much completed, lacking mostly shading and voice acting, but I still need to animate a lot to have the actual plot and let the video make sense. Given the request for a smaller size but the overall wish for a "big guy", I kept the growth to a mostly semi-realistic size, but decided for a final growth spurt that will take the guy to a more hyper body. I hope this will make most of you happy. I'm really indifferent to it, I just like to see the muscles go brrr

My... you're huge... And look at that bulge!

Gotta love the strruggle

BOOP

I just finished animating what in my opinion is the hottest part of the next animation, and I'm quite statisfied... but I dpn't want to spoil too much, so this preview is gonna be just a hint

Now that's a sturdy shirt

Just how big?

So, the issue has been brought up, so I wonder... just how big should someone get in the animation?

You need to concentrate!

Not gonna lie... this project really gets me going in my mind ahahah... well, gonna try and reach Taka's level with this one! Here's some key frames

Got my computer back!!

Let's get 'em growing!

What matters is getting big

"Wait, this isn't strawberry"
