10 Year Anniversary!
Greetings Everyone~!
I come to you with an update.
I posted my first growth animation online and out into the world in 2016!! With the “Runner gets an instant muscle growth pill”~
Ever since then, I’ve striven hard to improve and deliver stories of our shared muscle growth fantasies~
Some of you have been there the whole way, some most of the way, and some just joined. I cannot even begin to express my gratitude for you all. You have been fueling this artist to let his imagination fly and keep making guys grow huge :)
There have been many many sleepless nights (especially near the end of a project), and moments of potentially giving up when there felt like there was pressure, so I appreciate the patience some of you have had.
As part of the special anniversary milestone, I would like to announce new things in the works :)
If you haven't already, the video should give a brief overview of some things. The rest of this post however will give more details on said things.
Next Main Anim
First off will be the sequel to Main Anim 19. This will be my first true sequel animation.
The story is already laid out. It is shorter and meant to compliment the first part. But because of this, it should not take as long to come out as Anim 19. Also, I know some of you will wonder about voting. Well, voting will resume after that next animation. And there is something else happening that might ease that wait a bit, and that is the upcoming point ^^
3 Commissions (Based on Selection)
A lot of people have asked, and now there will be a chance you can get your own idea made as a commission! These are just a limited time thing as part of the 10 year celebration, and only 3 will get chosen. They will have the length of around a Mini Animation.
More details about this will come soon in the future, so get your idea hats on in the meantime, and think of ideas that will get me to go: “Now THAT should be animated” ^^
New Creation Processes
I talked a little about this recently, but I have started changing some of the way I do things during a production. To overall get a better look for the video in the end. The Shading process is one such thing I had mentioned I have been trying to train myself to create in a certain way.
But I had not mentioned the 3D assets yet. You may have noticed, ANIM 19 had actual 3D environments alongside my traditional 2D animation. The integration for such a thing had a bit of a learning curve, but I do believe it is worth it, as I can be more creative with camera work and the gestures of drawings because of it. Needless to say, I will be trying to incorporate it more in future Main Anims. I hope you have liked it so far~
New Website
A big point!! ^^
I have a new home live now where my stuff can be seen at!
If you support me on there, more of your support will go directly to me, at no extra cost to you~!
You may wonder if I am moving to just post on the site. But no, there are no plans currently to only post from there.
The content I will mirror with Patreon. It even has the same Tier Levels and access. If you are an existing patron you may notice the prices for the tiers changed. Newcomers have already seen this change here on Patreon for a while now. It will all eventually move to that. I hope this is understandable. The only tier that has not had a price change is the Animation Idea Tier.
The site is better organized, as I have way more control on how to display things! I hope you enjoy it~! And there is always the benefit of adding and updating it even more as time goes on! Perhaps more social features, or something like that.
Polls are going to work this way: The total votes from the poll on the Website and the poll on Patreon will be added up together to get the actual final result.
So without further ado, give it a browse and let me know what ya think! :)
I'll be here after posting this for a bit to answer questions.
The Rest of the Year
I am hoping to do some more celebratory offerings throughout the year! At some point I want to add Character Bios to the site.
In any case, thank you all again for these opportunities.
Looking forward to seeing what the Main Anims 20 Series will be! :)

Yo Taka, just had an idea. It would be cool to do a FAQ vidéo with your character(s) answering questions from patreon. Like some tiers could ask question about your work or ask some characters question. Just an idea
I do have character bios planned for the future on the site ^^ Hopefully that should shed some light on ‘em
Happy birthday of 10 years of wonderful beautiful and hot work !!! Thank you to share and give us your univers so créative and impressive! Wish you more than 10 other years of success and creativity 💪🥳 Trust yourself ! Go forward and stay strong 💪🦍 Which you the best and again thank to your amazing work that I see the progress of quality and creativity! You rock ! Take care 💪❤️😘
That's very kind of you. I also love Taka's world. It's funny because I've never met him, but his work has had a huge impact on my understanding of myself and my development as a person. The fact that so many people can relate to Taka's world is a testament to the quality of his work.
Wow, congratulations Taka on 10 years of hard work. I remember when I discovered you in 2018, I was so happy to see an artist who brought my most secret thoughts to life. I'm happy for you to see you accomplish this work and flourish. I'm very excited about the sequel to the latest animation, and I can't wait to see the lucky one grow even more. But also, it would be great to see videos to develop the lore. Like, learn more about the initiator of all this and his ultimate goal or more sequels. Im Curious to know what happens to the guys after videos I have a question about the new website: does it replace the Patreon page? Will the Patreon page still be used? Is it better to use one over the other?
Thank you for supporting and enjoying my work all this time~! I do hope to expand more on the lore of the characters in the future. For your questions: 1. At the moment, it is meant to be an alternative to the Patreon page, not a replacement. 2. Yes 3. My goal is to have the content on both. But the experience may vary. As I can customize the Website way more, so it can be a more streamlined way to access my stuff.
congrats taka! thanks for always providing such high quality content over the past decade. looking forward to the new additions you have in store for us!
Thank you muscleblake! I’m glad you have enjoyed my content all these years :)
