GROWTH DRIVE: 2023
Welcome to my 2023 Growth Drive!
THE STORY:
“Journaling isn’t my thing, but I’m probably going to want to look back at this someday.
It’s time. I’m doing it. I’ve spent years watching guys online transform themselves with pills, powders, supplements... Studying them, learning which ones work, and daydreaming about doing it myself.
I’m tired of being living in the shadows of other giants... I want a body that people beg me to show off. I want to cast a bigger shadow. However, until now, there was no way I could afford it. Thankfully, I have a plan.
Sparing the details, I set up my room for cam shows, created an online profile, and now all I gotta do is take off my clothes and put my body in the hands of total strangers on the internet... But I’m not nervous! I definitely feel a little bashful, but honestly? I’m really excited. The idea of letting other people decide what parts of me grow and how big I get is SUPER hot.
I just hope I can pull in enough attention to really achieve my dream. Crossing my fingers that other people wanna see me get just as big as I wanna be, if not bigger.
Man... The part that sticks in my mind though isn’t the growth or the realization of a dream. It’s that I get to do it all live on camera, and that whoever out there is watching has total control over how I look.
Day 1 starts tomorrow. Let’s do this. ”

what is a growth drive? How does it work?
QUICK RUNDOWN:
The Growth Drive is a format where your purchases turn into real effects on a character! These effects are measured by percentage change.
This will be a THREE STAGE DRIVE, wherein each stage will be a percentage-based increase compared to the character’s original stats.
At the end of each stage, I’ll make a drawing of the character reflecting the changes YOU impose upon them.
Additionally, if we hit some milestone goals along the way, I’ll have the time to throw in some extra frames, turning a disparate 3 image series into a short mini-comic, if budget allows!
Finally, when everything is said and done, I’ll be auctioning off ownership of the character (with his very own 3-part series, possibly a mini-comic, and the images formatted as a ref sheet) to the highest bidder.
how to participate (participation is now closed. here’s how it worked):
Make sure you understand how the drive works! Here’s the basics:
You’ll purchase DOSES of various supplements.
Those doses will be totaled up, like votes, across everyone else’s contributions for each stage.
Once we reach the end of a stage, I’ll create a drawing based on those doses, showing how much our main character has changed.
Additionally, if milestone goals are reached or upgrades are purchased flat-out, I’ll create additional content to accompany the main stage drawing (such as scenes, like a comic, that take place before, during, or after the growth).
We’ll repeat this process TWO TIMES, ending with a final product consisting of at LEAST three full-body images.
Lastly, I’ll auction the character AND ownership of those images off to the highest bidder, like an adoptable!
Once you know how it works, scroll ALL THE WAY DOWN to buy some doses of supplements for our guy to take. Or, just click on “Dose Him Now” below.
Keep an eye on the stats here - there’s only so much growth that can be achieved during a certain stage, so coming back to make sure your favorite category is still on top is important!

With enough funding, this growth drive could become a short comic!
THANKS TO ENOUGH FUNDING THIS GROWTH DRIVE WILL BE A SHORT COMIC!
We hit all our goals. The only thing left is to draw in enough “doses” to cover stage 3 after stage 2 is complete.
cOMIC FUNDED: hERE’S THE ROADMAP + Loose schedule!
Each number below represents a FULL PAGE of the comic.
Treat them as your roadmap for what to expect from pages 1 thru 7! Dates are loose approximations, as commission work and other time-sensitive work may need to come first. I will do my best to update with a new page each Friday! There may be exceptions for weeks where I’m covering Patreon work.
Key:
✅: Complete!
🟨: In progress, data collection (dosing) closed.
🟥: In progress, Collecting data/still dosing!
✅ May 26: Page 1 of the comic, the First Progress Shot - complete.
✅June 2: Page 2, Transition Page 1 of 2 - complete. Some shots of Taylor taking the supplements for the first time, then experiencing the first stages of growth. Lots of little closeups and sequential shots! + some story and dialogue.
>✅ June 8: STAGE 2 CONTRIBUTIONS END! All data collected and prepared for Page 3.
✅ June 9: Page 3, Second Progress Shot - Complete. will be the first full shot of the transformation applied by your dosage for stage 2! A full page illustration.
> ✅ June 9-16: Using data from Stage 2, Bonus Content page for Patreon members only: Complete. Taylor gets cruised by Evan while shopping for clothes to fit his new, bigger frame, dressing room hookup.
✅ June 16: Page 4, Stage 2 cumshot - Complete. A sudden, spontaneous cumshot as Taylor can’t help but enjoy his new body, and realizes he may have bit off more than he can chew.
✅ June 23: Page 5, Transition Page 2 of 2 - Complete. Half a page of Taylor flexing and showing off his new body while taking even more supplements at the behest of his viewers, then half a page of continued growth featuring a furniture malfunction as Taylor grows too big for his chair.
> ✅ June 29: STAGE 3 CONTRIBUTIONS END! Complete. All data has been collected. At this point I will open a “tips and support” option on the form as I can no longer add additional data via doses for those who wish to assist in funding the comic.
🟨 June 30: Page 6, Third Progress shot - Sketching. The first full shot of the transformation applied by your dosage in stage 3! A full page illustration.
🟨 July 7: Patreon Bonus Page 2 - work pending. (Based on early poll results as of 6/29, final result TBD) Taylor in the gym showers, inviting the viewer to join him for some ‘fun.’
🟨 July 14: Page 7, Final cumshot - work pending. Taylor enjoying his final form as another, much bigger, messier orgasm shakes Taylor to his core. It’s a full-on K.O. A full page illustration. The end!
Stretch Goals: dETAILS
once the funding reaches these values, i’ll add in these features to turn it into a story!
Note that each frame is an ENTIRELY NEW DRAWING, though they will be arranged with the initial images to form a comic! Think of it as building a comic frame-by-frame.
Stage 1: COMPLETE!
The first image is a freebie - it’ll be drawn before any funding is collected, so no baseline here!
stage 2: FULLY FUNDED!
✅ $300 - minimum needed to cover creating stage 2 and to proceed to stage 3.
Funded! We’re past $300! Thanks y’all!
✅ $500 - a single transition frame between stage 1 and 2. Taking the supplements for the first time!
Funded! We’re past $500! LETS GOOOO!
✅ $700 - an additional transition frame to follow the $500 reward - the first effects of growth!
Funded! Via full buyout - huge thank you to Erebus!
✅ $1000 - CUMSHOT! Let’s get this guy a money shot, exploring that huge new body! A whole page to itself. Messy!
Funded! Via full buyout - huge thank you to TT the Skunk! <3
stage 3: Partially FUNDED!
Note: the totals for these stretch goals are per-image and the counter will reset between stage 1 and stage 2!
✅$300 - minimum needed to cover cost of stage 3 and complete the drive.
Funded!
✅ $500 - a single transition frame between stage 2 and stage 3. Flexing and feeling himself! What a showoff!
Funded! Via full buyout - huge thank you to Erebus!
✅$700 - an additional transition frame. TOO BIG! Shit, there goes the chair. Who cares, this feels amazing!
Funded! Via full buyout - huge thank you to Erebus!
✅ $1000 - MASSIVE CUMSHOT! Self explanatory at this point. Grew so much poor guy had to cum twice :’3 a beautiful thing! A whole page to itself. Messy!
Funded! Via full buyout - huge thank you to Erebus!
buy a stretch goal outright! SOLD OUT!!!
Dying to see a particular stretch goal? You can buy it even if it isn’t reached by paying the difference between that stretch goal and the previous goal, or the difference between the current total and the stretch goal’s cost, whichever is less.
For example, if the total for Stage 3 is at $500 but you really wanna see the cumshot, you’d pay $300: the difference between the $1000 cumshot price and the previous reward at $700.
Alternatively, if the stage was at $800 and you wanted the cumshot, you’d simply pay the difference of $200.

How Does the math work?
This part is kinda boring and tedious, but I’ll do my best to explain it for those of you who (like me) love statistics and crunching the numbers. Here’s the general idea behind the math, and I’ll go into further detail later on:
Stage 1 is set as “100%” of the character’s stats.
Stage 2 will be equal to a total of an additional 300% change across all of those stats, for a total of 400%.
For example, if the character’s height receives 20% of the total doses, that stat will increase by 60%.
i.e. if there are 100 votes placed, and 20 of those votes go towards height, and the character’s height starts at 70”, the character’s new height for stage 2 will be 112” - equal to the base 100% PLUS the base times the percentage of votes it received.
Stage 3 will be equal to a total of an additional 300% change across all of those stats.
i.e. if those same 200 votes become 300 votes, but NONE of the new votes go towards height, the character’s height remains locked at 112”. However, if the character recieves 30 new doses, 30% of the new 100 votes, the character’s height increases by an additional 30% of the NEW total from stage 2 (112*0.3 = 33.6), added to the previous total of 112”, making it 145.6” total.
SO by the end of the drive, the character should have features that all add up to a total of a 500% increase, spread out across various body parts!
Since there are 9 total supplements to choose from, if ALL supplements recieve an equal number of votes, the average increase in each area will be:
1 (base stat) + 300/9 (stage 2 change) = stage 2 AVERAGE = 133% new total, or a 33% increase.
Stage 2 will be 1 (base stat) + (base stat * 33) = stage 2 total. Then, Stage 2 total times average times 55% average increase (9 options divided by 500% change to go around) = 206’ish% of the original value.
Now, this can change DRASTICALLY depending on how the voting swings and this is JUST the average, and that’s where the fun is in this!
So just remember, if your favorite trait seems like it’s not getting the right attention, you can always swing the total back in your favor!
The Moving growth cap for stage 3:
For stage 3, I introduced a way to make the final growth cap of the drive proportional to the total amount you all donated! Here’s how that works:
Once the initial $300 was reached (all that was needed to fund the final piece of artwork - all other stretch goals had been funded by the time stage 3 began accepting doses) every $100 afterwards raised the total cap by a function of 10%
For example: If the total raised was $500, the ‘bonus cash’ was $500-300 = $200. So, $200 times 10% means a 20% bonus added onto the original mutliplier of 500% for a total of 520%.
fINAL GROWTH CAP RESULT and how it’s derived:
Total income for growth drive during dosing: $7,685
Total Income from Stage 2: $1,625
Total Income for Stage 3 (Difference): $4860 [7685-1625]
Stage 3 required cap before bonus: $300
Stage 3 Donations ABOVE bonus cap: $4560 [4860-300]
Stage 3 BONUS multiplier addition: 456% [4560 x 10%]
Stage 3 Total mutliplier (original 500% plus bonus multiplier): 956% [456% + 500%]

Honestly, it’s so much easier to visualize a percentage than measure out specific measurements. Plus, by capping the total percentage of change, it’s a nice representation of what would feasibly happen if someone WAS taking a ton of supplements. Naturally, some would cancel each other out, and there’s only SO much change that can happen in a certain amount of time, right? …right?
More than anything, the system is designed to help prevent runaway stats or REALLY ridiculous numbers from happening. I’ve found that sticking a hard value on a point/dose/vote/etc lends itself to MASSIVE underestimation of how things can landslide in one direction or another. This should help keep the drawing at least SOMEWHAT within the realm of feasible, without dipping into territory that would otherwise make me feel uncomfortable :) Thanks for understanding!

Dick length and girth are equal to base stat times percentage multiplier times half the impact of the height modifier.
I did this because I realized it’s possible to give the illusion that his dick has actually gotten smaller if the height modifier gets tall enough. Since it’s percentage based, a 70” height grows a lot faster than a 7” dick. A recent edit after I realized that, by proportion, at around 8’ tall, his dick to height ratio starts moving in reverse.
Ball diameter is equal to base stat, times base stat, times percentage multiplier, times half the impact of the height modifier..
Just giving him a bit of a bolder move in this direction to create some balance. the maximum of 200% change to a 2” ball is only 4” and that was unlikely to occur, and to keep things looking “proportional” at the very least (if not looking BIGGER, as i’m sure we all hope for in all aspects of this drive), I needed to give this area some help.
This also impacts the cum production stat, since it’s base stat times the balls diameter. (Yeah i know not scientifically accurate but c’mon this is SO fictional right now.
Weight is equal to base weight times Tank percentage times 1/2 the shred increase percentage.
Doing just the weight times both was giving DRASTICALLY disproportionate height vs weight ratios, and summing and halving them both was the same. This guides the ratio in an upwards trend that prevents him from becoming either a beanpole or shaped like a tuna can.
I may need to edit this again later as we move forward to keep ratios ok, perhaps adding height in as a function of weight as I did with dick size.
Why a growth drive at all?
I’m not one for belaboring my audience with reasons they should buy from me, whether it be financial insecurity or otherwise. If you truly need a reason, I can comfortably say that yes, I have a ridiculous amount of debt that needs paying off, I’m in a bit of dire straits, and I’m really depending on this to be successful to help pull me out of the hole I’ve dug. Not a pretty statement to make, but hey, it’s true, and I’d rather be honest than pretend I’m just doing this for funsies. These things are a LOT of work, and I plan to work for everything I make from the drive!
That being said… on to the results!

This chart shows the percent change from his original stats each supplement inflicts upon Taylor. Multiplying any original stat by these percentages provides the current stat for stage 2. For example, if his height is at 120%, and the original value was 70", the new value is 120% of 70, for a total of 84".
These 2 chart shows the total doses taken for each supplement.
This chart shows the change elicited by each supplement, comparing stage 2 to Stage 3.
This chart shows a vertical ranking of the supplements by the percent change they inflict on Taylor. When we reach stage 3, I'll add in a second data point so that we can see how the dosage changes between stages!
This chart shows how the limited 300% change in stage 2, and the sliding scale (starting at 500%) change in stage 3 causes ebb and flow: If one supplement garners significantly more dosage, other supplements will relinquish some of their hold. There's only so much chemistry a body can adapt to at once!
FINAL Measurements:
Plus final BONUS multiplier of 956%! (Up from 500% due to EXCEPTIONAL participation and support!)
This means all changes for stage 3 are based on a total available change of 956%. You can check out the Math section above to see where this number comes from!
