Ah yes, 'enshitification.'

New service introduced, original designers thought of users, great features, cheap/free to use, people are happy.

Then, company has to make money to get ROI - add hostile features nobody wanted, use shady tactics, & the experience gets worse.

Rinse & repeat.

Spectre had to have been one of the earlier ones to experiment with different inflated shapes. This one definitely stood out, even after first seeing it at a much later time.

Incredible.

Your attention to physics and the way you have their bodies shudder, wobble, and bob around as their curves blow up... (especially when they end up floating)

Seriously, it's the best! ❤️

October is upon us, so it’s time for my second Blimptober! But things are going to be a bit different this year.

EVERYONE can leave ONE WORD in the replies, which will be randomly selected every day as a prompt for me to draw!

Let’s get creative! Let’s get BIG!

I have written many inflation stories & worked on inflation media projects. But I've been critical of them to a fault, so in they drafts they remained.

No more delays ... Airborne August is the time to share them.

Plus, I will be writing lots this month. Don't worry, I have plenty of helium.

Hit them with the gas, they get big & float. The whole thing was vague, the SFX, the jokes about their appearance, and yeah...the whole 'guess it's the power of believing & mothballs' as a fix. But the animation of them shuddering/wobbling in the air very much implied inflation and & that stuck.

Be sure to show your support to your favorite artists & authors who put in the work to white, draw, color, animate, & film ideas centered around the pneumatically enhanced & inflating.

(You should support hard-working creators in general, but here I'm about ballooning boobs & inflating bodies.)

This commission sequence of my OC Alicia is my favorite. Yes, I know that I'm super biased, but hey... you asked! 😉

So, so, so many great ones to choose from. I would say that this one with Supergirl and Batgirl would be my next favorite. Your big inflations are always so spectacular!

When this moment happens, good things are about to seriously go down...

...and float up.

infnrise @infnrise.bsky.social · Jun 12

@gnome-illustration.bsky.social shared a great piece of advice for creatives.

I made a few little changes to that quote just for you inflation artists and authors out there!

*hashtag inspiration* *hashtag helium* *hashtag ballooning bodies*

'Deus ex machina' is often criticized as being a lazy, convenient way to resolve issues in stories.

'Deus ex helium' on other hand, is perfect and should be used freely.

Happy Happy Pride Month!!!

I'm thinking we have plenty of balloons to celebrate, too!

Definitively 'Airy Shamans' and 'Sculpt My Body'.

Your very big, super shapely, floaty inflations are sooooo well done!

Main takeaway: Shape is absolutely incredible.

Bonus takeaway: If only back pockets on pants were that epic...

Realizing that 'weather balloons' can be either an overexaggerated and humorous way of saying really big *or* a true statement of accuracy.

"No, seriously. She's floating, for that to happen they have to be the size of ACTUAL weather balloons."

infnrise @infnrise.bsky.social · May 6

I write some big, balloony inflation stories.

Here is a piece of mine from a previous Sventober, an inflation sketch & writing extravaganza put on by @svensvenson.bsky.social

What happens when someone uses a voodoo weather balloon?
