“By all these sounds, I think ‘blowing up’ IS the experiment!” #furryart #sizedifference

Sot the Blimp blows up bigger and rounder with rumbling in his body, implying that it’s about to get a lot bigger all at once

if im reuploadin this i might as well make the ears the right color this time
heckin
blimp digimon

a colored sketc of renamon, extremely inflated. they float off the ground, their body very taut and round. their paws, thighs, arms, belly, ears, claws, and tail are all visibly extremely swelled and round. their head and face is less visible than normal, overcome by everything else. There is a grunt of effort caused by reflexively trying not to be inflated, but to no avail.

Idle chatter while the blueberry is still blowing up and the situation is growing dire, one of my favourite things... ✨

...What were we doing? Oh yes! Rolling the fruit away, yes yes yes

Drawing of Emily blown up as a blueberry, rolled onto her back as she's gazing up at a silhouette, who is speaking to an off-screen character

"...Juice her?
Like, a blueberry?

Don't be silly, she's HUGE compared to a normal one.

Though, we probably should, less she explodes-"

"MMPHPH!?"
"EXPLODE!?"

"Yeah!
You know, like a water balloon on a tap!
But like, larger!
(And more expensive to clean up, good grief)

Areo "the Flapjack" Ants

@areoants.bsky.social

(1-4/5)
Recently did a low-stakes race with @moffballoon.bsky.social in hit game Ring Racers! They actually have a Duel mode now, meaning 1v1s are their own thing. (It's like tug-of-war!)

The stakes were quite simple:

- Best of 5.
- Loser inflates.
- Motobug.

#inflation #inflationart #AreoOC

Flapjack as a Motobug, and Moff as a Motobug.

Moff took the first loss, immediately hitting twice the height of Motoflap. She's frustrated, he's amused.

Motoflap 0 - 1 Motomoff
(Track was Azure Lake)

Artist's Note: accidentally forgot this was a "clean sweep" when I had made this, which is kinda important, but hey! It's funnier this way. Go on and jump to the next page to see why that's important.

Flapjack as Motobug, Moff as Motobug.

Flap gets a retaliatory ballooning to their utter shock, having lost in a "clean sweep" (losing 4 checkpoints without earning a single point) and taking half a point in bonus damage. Moff's got their confidence back.

Motoflap 1 (.5) - 1 Motomoff
(Track was... I forgot, sorry!)

Flapjack as Motobug, Moff as Motobug

Flap takes on a *second* clean sweep loss, taking another well-earned super inflation and getting twice as large as their opponent! He's barely hanging on, and his expression shows as much. Moff's now ramming themselves into Flap at high speed, sure that they got this in the bag.

Motoflap 2 (1) - 1 Motomoff
(Track was Darkvile Castle 1)

Flapjack as Motobug, Moff as Motobug

Flap, against all odds, managed to pull back a win. It's just a regular win, but it's enough to bounce Moff right off of him. Moff, in turn, is getting bumped up slightly into the air as their body starts catching up to Flap.
Her expression can only be described as a simple "oh".

Motoflap 2 (1) - 2 Motomoff
(Track was Joypolis)

Local Kolbold, Ko-un, is testing the effects of a wind gem to a nearby round fox

Results?
Wind gems made to fill airships makes balloony foxes even bigger!
Wow! 🎈

Drawing of Ko-un (Bottom left, Kobold, small) testing the effects of a wind gem that has very potent powers.

Nekki (balloon, fox, big), is squeaky and ballooning bigger, letting out squeaky belches as she's held down by rope around her bloated limbs.

Ko-un:
Lets see:
Scale? Massive!
Glossines? Very!
Belches? Long, high pitched and very squeaky!

Wonderful!
Will consider getting close to test volunteer's tautness"

mom the Bloons are fighting again (Vortex is in the room making significant progress to causing mayhem)

#inflation #inflationart

Vortex, the shape of an overinflated football, advances smugly towards Lych and Bloonarius, the two of which argue amongst themselves as follows:

"oh for the... he-he's got that look in his- he's coming over here, can't you say smthn to him?"
"dude, what? I had to speak to him last time, isn't it your turn?"
"hell no! you know him better than... is he humming friggin' Dig-Dug™?"
"oh, NOW you know about video games?"
"j- shut up! wai- no, you ta/lk to..."
"TOO LATE YOU TALK NOW"

Dreadbloon, Phayze, and Blastapopoulos, meanwhile, just vibe in the background.

Artist's Note: hee hoo doodle of an hour, wanted to continue the Phayze drawing like I had suggested I would, but whoops! Didn't have the model on hand, and I wanna make those big pictures with a constant ref handy at all times, so I went with just kinda letting my hand draw something else in the meantime. Made Vortex, made the context later.
