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.

the Eradicator Hexapod, as done in a drawpile

#inflation #inflationart
Eradicator Hexapod, blown up into a sphere, with its top half swollen to the point of transparency. It's also hella shiny.

To anyone who hates the double tap emoji function on Discord mobile, while you can't turn it off, you CAN...

1: Create a throwaway emote in your server.
2: Set that emote to your double-tap setting.
3: Remove the throwaway emote.

Voila! No more accidental emotes when you REALLY don't need it.

@largenagainbound.bsky.social and I had a nice little skirmish in Command & Conquer... and I lost, so I owed 'em at least two hours on the balloon Orca (Flapjack Edition). It is what it is.

#inflation #inflationart
Naga's character as a Nod Flame Tank, resting dutifully upon an exasperated Flapjack, who himself is a GDI Orca. An arrow points to Flapjack, pointing out that he "failured the mission". An Obelisk of Light burns in the background, shot down to its lowest pillar. Artist's Note: Hilariously, I played Nod, and Naga played GDI... y'know, the opposite sides we chose. Whoops.

found this old doodle of Ito from all the way back in Feb '22, a tragic end to a funky ray (he will revive at the last checkpoint

#AreoOC
Ito the Stingray, popped horizontally from the waistline but otherwise intact, sits crumpled up on himself and on the floor, with a little ghostly Ito floating out from his mouth, next to several other ghostly bubbles. How embarrassing.

another quick comm for @bunkerbeast.bsky.social where i hand you a dinossom

#inflation #inflationart
A large Dinossom with a bloated belly, sitting in dissatisfaction. The flower crown on their head is also surprisingly bloated, so at least his head is shaded.

a small quick comm by the suggestion of @bunkerbeast.bsky.social of a Leezpunk made big and wobble
Leezpunk, most certainly round, holding his hand to his face as best he can. The jacket is slightly poofy as well.

and since I really wanted to remix the design beyond a simple "hey put clothes on the guy", actually processing what and how I wanted to remix was

a small process

Still kinda figuring the guy out, but I was suggested to make a Pal OC, so... what else but a Sootseer?

I'm calling the guy "Vazz-33" for now.

this is a sequel piece to a thing done on stream about maybe 4 years ago? yeah
Augustine, largely bereft of features, lies haplessly within a pool, as Vex lays on his back atop the Airship with his own tanning mirror. Augustine: "I fucking swear little man, once Service Depot finds wat to reverse this, you are top dog on shit list, you hear?" Vex: "yeah sure whatever babe"

Kinda shocked I forgot to share this here, a small birthday gift for @nelovince.bsky.social in honor of Augustine and Vex's ongoing rivalry between blimp and now-a-pooltoy-whoops.

#inflation #inflationart #AreoOC
Description: Augustine, an anthropomorphic Kirov Airship, lounges comfortably (complete with tanning mirror!) upon Vex, who is both an anthropomorphic Stealth Tank mk III, and also currently a very, VERY oversized pooltoy, reaching front to back of the very pool they're in. Augustine: "(Revenge is dish best served cold, Да? Then tell me, how is pool water?) (Would check myself, but you are in way.)" Vex is not thrilled about this. In the background, two things of note are occurring. On the left side, several Flak Cannons fire in the air, shooting down some Rocketeers. On the right side, a massively inflated Typhoon Attack Submarine floats on the ocean surface, with a Dreadnaught nearby for scale. Author's Note: haaaaaaah, this took a hot second for me to make. It's something of a tradition for me to gift Nelomet some birthday art of both Augustine and Vex interacting in some way, shape, or form. Wouldn't have him without her, and in a weird way may have given me some appreciation for anthropomorphic vehicles. Besides, as I may or may not have shown below, the pair was due for a sequel to an old stream comm I did for the guy. side note, god making fences line up with shading sucks, especially if you do what I did and copy-pasted each post. friggin AUGH. Final Time: 12h 11m

(Q&Art)

In order to destroy a SAM Site from the air without any casualties, you need 4 Orca Assault Craft.

#inflation #inflationart #AreoOC
Retrospring Question: "What was Fugu before becoming an Orbca? Or was he born like that?" The first panel shows Fugu sitting atop his own helipad, looking up at the question. "Oh, I wasn't always this severely bloated! Before this... affliction, I was actually part of an Orca squad! Tako... Ika... Ebi... and Fugu, me!" "Incredible guys, they were." The second panel zooms out a bit more to show Fugu, still sitting at his own helipad, smiling pensively. There are three empty pads next to him. Author's Note: I'm super glad I was able to preserve this particular question from Retrospring before it went down, because both the question and the answer have been stuck in my head for a long time. Just... never really got around to answering that. Wonder if the one who asked it is still around? Hope they didn't mind the wait.
