Santa's Biggest Elf 💪 ❄️

With such a big and heavy bag of presents to deliver this Christmas, Santa has enlisted the help of an elf with very powerful muscles...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays y'all! Here's Alaric as one of Santa's elves! The biggest one, naturally! 💪

... and in return, all Alaric asks is a kiss under the mistletoe~

[COMIC] An Orcish Remedy

Sooo this is what I've been working on this month!! A comic featuring all my favorite things: muscle growth, orcs, size difference -- and starring my OCs from previous works to link all of them into a Taogebear cinematic universe!! Mwahaha! 😆

But seriously, I've been wanting to make a comic like this for ages! I yearn for my sequences and vignettes to have more story and worldbuilding in them, so if you guys really enjoy them in this format, maybe I can turn it into a series! We shall see! 🤞

Without further ado, you can view and download the comic here:

Happy Swoleoween! 🎃

Get it? Swole + Halloween = a swole Halloween? Sksks

Full resolution version of a little greeting card-ish thing I made featuring a devilishly handsome incubus with a jack-o-lantern full of treats! Or was it tricks? Anyway, reach into it and find out, if you dare~

Happy Orctober! 💚

POV: You're kneeling before the new hunky & supremely well-endowed war chief of the orcs 😳

It's that time of year again when we celebrate our tusky green hunks~ I really do love them so much, maybe I need to draw orcs more often... and also hyper!

Happy Locktober 🔒

Happy Locktober for those who celebrate, just like this beefcake here with the big... uh... eyes! 🥺

Me personally, I'm kinda claustrophobic, so I'm abstaining... but I do appreciate the aesthetics!

With Locktober done, Orctober is up next! Stay tuned~

Happy Biceptember 2025 💪

It's bicep month once again! Manifesting big bicep gains for all of us, like what Alaric here got! From lanky cleric to warrior BEEFCAKE 💪

And of course it wouldn't be a signature Taogebear muscle growth sequence without growth elsewhere down there, too 😂😍🍆

Take a Whiff!

Here's something for the pit fans! 🫶 (It's me, I am the pit fans)

Featuring a shy gym bro OC with nice pits! He'll let you have a whiff, if you ask nicely. And for once I drew someone fully-clothed! Well, in the beginning, at least. Also there's something about backpack straps over a muscular torso that I looove so much. It accentuates the pecs, I think. In this case, it's the strings of a drawstring bag, which is what I use as a gym bag! 😀

On the technical side, I dug up an old watercolor brush I used all the time a couple years ago, and adapted it for shading here! With how comfortable it was to use, I think it's the only brush I could reliably do blended shadows with. It's something I hadn't always had success with when using other brushes. I hope here it looks good tho! It might be how I do shading from now on! Art style evolution, woot woot!

Muscle on Muscle! 💪💪

A muscular dude is great, but put another one on top of him and it'll be even better! Muscle on muscle!

My smuttiest piece yet! I wanted to experiment and draw smuttier stuff, but still with a focus on muscle--and the admiration of it 💪❤️

August Sketch Dump!

My second sketch dump! Featuring some WIPs of what I'm working on at the mo~

Here we have some cute artwork of Connor doing an overhead heart sign (gotta show off those pits somehow) because I'm hankering for a new profile pic, and this may be it! Second, we have a smuttier piece ft. two unnamed hunks! I'm still unsure whether to set this one in a nice clean tatami room, or a messy male living space with old newspaper as floor covering. Which one sounds hotter... hmm!

Manato Wants to Play! 🦴

My boyfriend loves Komano Manato, so I decided to draw him for him and all of you Manato fans 🫶

Lots of alts here, including bearded Manato because I couldn't resist drawing him with one; he looks very handsome with it too! Also sometimes I have such a dilemma with musk clouds. I think they can obscure certain details, but they're such a hot addition... so por que no los dos eh? 😅

Morning Wood 🪵

Alaric, our cleric-turned-warrior, is quickly learning that heavy swords aren't the only massive tool warriors like him must know how to wield. He might need the help of another adventurer to level his skill with that other tool... especially in the mornings!

A steamy lil sequence (both with and without speech bubbles, bc I spent wayyy too much time on the background) ft. that fantasy RPG OC I've enjoyed drawing so much! He has a name now :3

Connor's New Trunks 🏊‍♂️

Connor got some new swim trunks for the summer!

There's no doubt the trunks look good, but his only question is... do they make his bulge look big 🤔

Sketch Dump!

Just some sketches for upcoming works!

One features my favorite kind of size difference + hyper combo, and another with Connor being cheeky~

Left or Right? 🤔

It's so hard to choose!

Sometimes you want to be a massive muscle monster, other times you want to be chiseled like a Greek god!

...but let's be real, we all want to be the massive muscle monster most of the time, heh! 😂

[WIP] Left or Right? 🤔

Hyper or Realism... it's a tough choice!

Although truth be told, I love hyper, I just need to get better at drawing it 🥴

Locker Room Star 🌟

When you're so big, you're the center of attention in the locker room of every gym 💪👀

Size difference go brrr!!

[WIP] Locker Room Star 🌟

Previews for a new sequence I'm making! Size difference go brrrrr

Oh to be so big, you're the center of attention in the locker room of every gym 🥴💦

Horn of Manliness 💪

Some enchanted items are too good to be true. Sometimes the enchantment has a catch, and thus the item is deemed cursed...

A fun little prequel comic to our half-elf cleric becoming a warrior, this time showing a snippet from his dungeon-delving days! Featuring his unlucky half-giant barbarian adventuring buddy, who, after claiming a supposed "Horn of Manliness" as his own, becomes decidedly not-so-giant.

[WIP] Horn of Manliness

A fun little prequel comic to our half-elf cleric becoming a warrior, this time showing a snippet from one of his dungeon-delving mishaps!

Clerics are supposed to be adept at determining the magical properties of an enchanted item. However, when our cleric fails to read the fine print of a particular Horn of Manliness, his towering half-giant barbarian party member becomes... not-so giant. Heh!

🔄 Class Change Muscle Growth! 💪

When you think about it, cleric-to-warrior is just medieval fantasy nerd-to-jock 🤔

A curious half-elven cleric browses a friendly merchant's stall, when he spots a sword almost too big and heavy to wield, especially for a squishy cleric like himself. Little does he know that the merchant's wares carry the enchantment of class changing, and his adventuring career was about to take an unexpected, muscular turn!

One of my favorite RPG tropes is being able to swap your class at any time, often by switching out your weapon with a different one. A mage can suddenly go from being a frail spellcaster to being a beefy knight when they pick up a heavy sword! Bonus points when their starting equipment suddenly unequips due to class incompatibility, heh!

Another favorite trope of mine is incompatible equipment being unusable if your class doesn't have the correct proficiency for it. Which is what happened to our half-elven cleric here when he turned into a tanky swordsman!

Hole-y Knight

"Draw me like one of your French knights~"

When the hot brooding knight is struggling with demons, and the demons are liking other men 🔥🔥🔥

It's the Pits!

"It's the pits!" is an expression which means "It's awful!", which I truly do not understand because pits are AWESOME! Can you tell that they're my favorite thing to draw? 😅

Went a little self-indulgent for this piece with some pit-focused action! Side note but I love when guys get muscular and big and somehow their pits also get bigger 🥴 It's more pit to love~

[WIP] It's the Pits!

"It's the pits!" is an expression which means "It's awful!", which I truly do not understand because pits are AWESOME! So awesome, I drew two guys getting all up in a bigger dude's pits lol

Gift Wrapped 🎁

Connor's got a special present wrapped up for Christmas! I wonder what it is... might give it a shake and guess! 😉

My take on the gift wrap meme! I swear, it's perfectly tailor-made for himbo characters :3

Yes I'm hopping on the himbo gift wrap trend, but I also wanted to draw a version without the wrapping, so... :3

Rough sketch for now!

In the Shower (Together!) 🚿

Showering together not only saves water; it's also loads of slippery fun 💦

Lucky for these two, the local gym's showers have ample space for two rowdy jocks to scrub themselves clean on each other's washboard abs 😉

Still haven't figured out who the twunk should be, so he's a YCH for now!

[WIP] In the Shower 🚿

I love a good shower! Even more when there's a hunk inside it, hehe!

Didn't have an idea for the other character, so for now, he's a YCH! Imagine your twunkiest OC here lololol

Bigger and Scarier 🐺🌙

Who's afraid of the big bad werewolf?

Well, he wasn't really that big nor scary on the eve of Halloween, but as the full moon started to ascend, so too did he undergo some massive changes.

...

Honestly, he's still not all that scary, but he's definitely big!

[WIP] Bigger and Scarier 🐺

Work in progress sketches for a Halloween growth sequence I'm working on!
