NEXT COMIC - PREVIS

Here is some previs work that I am doing preparing for our next COMIC. I'd like you all to meet the Foreman for the construction project that will be happening in our story. He is a minor character of sorts - but I wanted to give you all a feel for which way we are headed with this next one, without giving too much away.

Model: A Muscle Growth Short - FINISHED

Here is the finished version of the Underwear MG Short!

Running a few more render passes - so we can see our main character in allll his transformed muscle growth glory, and then I’ll do the sound design for the tf and hopefully wrap up our animation this week at some time.

THEN - I can move on to a new COMIC.

WIP Clip

This one took a bit of trial and error on the timing and subtle movement of the shoulders to activate the pec bounce WHILE he is pulsing all over and growing bigger....

but Id say it is a success!

more soon!

It’s preparation time! As I finish up the underwear animation - I'm looking for some EPIC story ideas for a next comic. I have some things sautéing on some back burners that id like to do. But I wanna hear from you.

CRITERIA:

Epic in the sense that id like to do something off the beaten path - pirate transforma...

A Side Creative Moment

Needed to step away this evening creatively from the animation, and clear my head. Tonight's challenge - Realistic Cartoon Style Hook and Smee from Disney's 1953 Version of Peter Pan...

Underwear WIP CLIP Update

Here is a quick clip of things that are going on in the changing room... More to come this week!

UP and Running!

Terrible angle I know - but both towers are synced and up and running.

The plan is to have one tower completely dedicated to rendering - while I’m able to work on the other and keep things moving.

Hopefully this will improve my work flow for animations as well as comics - as I won’t have to stop and wait on ...

Taking a leap…

In order to keep producing at a quality level that will not only satisfy, but grow my Patreon - I am taking a leap ahead of my monthly goal (at somewhat of a financial detriment to myself - but still a positive for my business) and adding another tower to my rendering set up.

This is scheduled to be delivered Monday - ...

Underwear Animation WIP Update

Still working the kinks out in this latest addition to the scene - but we are getting into the dressing room and actual growth here. 

Keep in mind that these posts are WORK IN PROGRESS and could be fixed/edited further to make a better end product. The main purpose is to keep you guys abreast of what is going on on...

Gives a NEW meaning to "Resistance is Futile"

The cock acts as the assimilation proboscis as well as the charging and update port. hehe

Tabling this idea for later

Rendering and Composite Passes

This is a little bit of info concerning how the process of putting together animation works for me. 

Due to the complex geometry of the characters, having more than one in a scene can bog down the render time immensely.

To bypass this, it is necessary to run several "passes" of each part of the scene.

B...

WIP Shot

Checkin in with you guys! here is a post to preview whats getting built currently. Right now I am running several "passes" of animation to create different parts of a scene.

More on that in another post.

For now tho... check out that GYMJUNKIE underwear display ;)

More Soon!

Venom Animation Test

When developing new animations I tend to run tests on things to see if they will work. This could be several different things unrelated to the ACTUAL animation - these tests will be included in upper level WIP rewards packs. But this one was just too good not to share with everyone!

I hope you all enjoy

The underw...

Venom & Spidey 4K Phone and Desktop Wallpapers

Enjoy

About animation development

For every 5 seconds of animation it can take up to 12hrs to render.

IF a video ends up being approx 3 min long - that works out to:

144 hrs per min of animation,

multiplied by 3 minutes, That is

432 hrs of total time rendering.

That ends up being...

It BEGINS!

Rendering scenes has begun! I’ll be posting updates to the animation as things get assembled!

Underwear Packaging Finished

I just finished the packaging design for the GJM enchanted underwear. Here is a quick Turn table of the box. These will be featured in the New Animation.

NEW Animation WIP Update

Since the name of the store that our main character will be picking up his NEW Underwear is called GJ MAXX - I find it only fitting for GYMJUNKIE himself (ME) to make a cameo in this episode as the store clerk... ;) Also a still shot of the store front from the intro
