I think ridiculous sizes lead to fun character discussion, its like a cartoon episode. Not enough people go for that fun aspect I feel!

Not much to say in terms of a witty comment or descrpition. I had notes for various ideas, and one of them was simply: "Moss Lesbian" And so, i made a moss character, her name is Petra.
A sweet inidvidual, she likes listening to what humans have to say, and will help dry away any tears you might have... along with being able to abosrb absorbing numerous gallons of water.Full of absorbed water.Size comparison

A nerdy cleriec was trying to cast a spell to help with "Flares and aches", but a slip of the tounge made her hast a spell of "Flaring Airs", and accidentally turned the pumpkin girl closer to a ballooning Jack-o-lantern.

Mood at an all time low? A little binge-inflating with your partner at your side (or behind) will uplift those spirits in no time.

Quickly got to work making a colored version of these two as soon as could after seeing the post. Along with some additions and adjustments. Really lovely characters.

So I finally got around to finalizing these two from the tail end of Airborne August into proper designs that I quite adore! Addie Mavers, a pretty towering tomboy and Livi May Jones, a reserved but tender-hearted woman with the both of them enjoying some big fun every chance!

Art of Pneuella emptying out some old helium tanks for an upcomming restock. Though this tank has a awful lot left for being near empty. (Little does she know, the gauge is broken, and it was a full tank)

A birthday gift for @veekitty.bsky.social I really liked these two characters from their Airborne August drawings. So... I went and made a little bit of fan art of the two. What better than to celebrate a birthday... than with a bundle of balloons?

During Pneuella's tour of her air tank storage, she offered free testing for the group! Unfortunately it seems the regular air tanks were swapped with helium ones, sending everyone into the sky.

[1/2] A follow up from Sokoroh... This is Kallinope (or Kalli for short), a quirky, pseudo-balloon person. (more details about them in alt text)
Kalli, being her lovKalli, being her loveable self.
Kalli mainly wanders about from place to place, having a slight affinity with forests and nature, rubber trees specifically.
And with that connection to rubber trees had led her to develop some substance that can turn anyone more rubbery/balloon-like in nature.
Though this transformation is not permanent (though she can easily make the change permanent, though she will not do it willy-nilly).
She herself can shift between her balloon-like appearance and her "normal" look, but she prefers the former over the latter.
Though it has left her hair permanently like a solid rubber sheet between both "forms". Kalli is a bit of a cheeky individual, playing occasional tricks on others.
Inflating them, temporarily turning them into balloons/rubber, and often playfully toying with some people in their immobile state.
However, she is not an ill-willed individual, she will not take things too far on purpose, and will have care when messing with others.
She is a pretty kind, helpful, and generous person beyond her playful behaviors.Kalli's long hair can double as a protective cloak to blanket her body in, using it to prevent or counter damage back, or using it for camouflage.A moment from one of Kalli and Sokoroh's first encounter with each other.
Long story short... Kalli lured Sokoroh into a couple blimp traps she set around the fight.
Kalli kept dodging and tanking Sokoroh's attacks which progressively annoyed the latter and eventually being lured into a trap.
One mistake led to another and Sokoroh was left immobile.
From that day on Sokoroh gained a burning hatred towards Kalli, and swore she would impale her to scraps.
Kalli on the other hand sees Sokoroh as someone who needs to unwind and be less harsh with her behaviors, otherwise Kalli is quite friendly, even to Sokoroh (which annoys Sokoroh even more).
This began the two's "rivalry".

Another new character, Sokoroh: The "Palidin" who prides herself in upholding justice in the world... (and more so a fanatic of popping) [More details in alt text]
Sokoroh is a combatant of a faction called the Foil Order, a group who wants to maintain a place of normality with a world "plagued" by expanded behaviors and threats that make up a majority of the world.
The faction has different sub groups that vary in how they go about bringing a sense of normality (shelter, healing, combat, etc.)

Sokoroh had gone the way of combat, eliminating threats who harm the innocent, striking down those who indulge in their sinister acts of inflating/expanding others.
Sokoroh claims she doesn't let anything sway her actions, she does it only in the name of justice... though truth be told she gets a bit indulgent in her own way… one she does not admit…Sokoroh can often get bored in how she does things, a spear is her primary weapon, though she likes to shake things up every now and again. Bows, caltrops, harpoons, and for seasonal variety... icicles (she really likes winter), but when she is disarmed... she has one last weapon on hand... her hair pins which double as throwing darts.
Though even without any weapons in her hands, she is not defenseless.
She just gets a fresh way to pierce through an expanded foe, and a reason to not be holding back.
Sokoroh can get quite merciless when she begins to struggle, or when the battle goes on longer than she wants.(Recreation of a meme) 
Sokoroh is a pretty skilled combatant, and in a world where most individuals are more balloon-like... a battle would often end quickly.
Sokoroh is fully aware of this, so she often gets dramatic with her approach, thinking she is in control of the pace of the battle.
She wants to see her opponent frightened, struggling as she gets some short jabs in with her pointed arsenal. Getting thrills as she plunged her weapon into the stretched skin, waiting for the opponent to give up in resisting what will inevitably happen.
Sokoroh's soul flutters as her ears hear the satisfying bangs or pows, and the shower of scraps that fall upon the victor.

OC (1/2) Another batch of characters, this is Hana: A casual Blimp-Sumo enthusiast, though more of a big softy who loves saunas and bathhouses. (More details in alt text)
Hana's "normal" attire, loose and open for free movement and for any size she may be at.
Pretty sweet and pleasant not a single rude bone in her body, though she is also aloof at times, with certain things going over her head.Hana in her under/sumo-wear, along with being slightly bigger. Though this may seem suitable for the traditional version of the sport... some Blimp-sumo groups ask for... a bit more from the applicants.
Regardless of her size and appearance, she is very welcoming and supportive to her friends (often by inviting the to relax with her, either just hanking out, or a trip to a sauna) Hana at her largest size... that she is required to be, she can get much bigger, though this is the average you would commonly see her at, either through matches, or maybe after she leaves a sauna or bathhouse.
She spent a long time to be able to get this big, her sauna trips, healthy routines, being inflated for prolonged periods of time... a somewhat recently a small aerobics* "group" she joined.
And even at this size Hana remains still very pliable, and ethereally soft, pliable skin about a foot into her blimped body.

Appearantly it is a Big Boobs day, so... here are some of those I had made so far. Not many now, though more characters with "dual-dirigibles" will likely be made in the future.

(OC) Another character, this is Marcellia, a pompous bubblegum actress. (More details on her in Alt text)
Marcellia has had a decent career in the acting business, giving intense and exaggerated performances where she appears... often too much for some roles which some have critiqued. In addition, she also has been said to be often bossy around the set, wanting specific needs, and will often bring things to a full stop, and even has set back schedules if things aren't going perfectly in her eyes. Marcellia's personality can pretty much switch on a dime, going from high and mighty to having a full on crashout depending on what happens. She is also quite bluntly harsh when she has something to say, (verbally) tearing apart whoever disgraced her.
While Marcellia has very strict preferences, the most strict and important one to keep in mind, as she claims is: "I am a prized gemstone, something to be witnessed by all, BUT... if you dare even lay a finger... nay... even a breath upon this rosy skin, you will smudge that perfection".
In short... Marcellia is quite particular about her appearance and maintaining its perfection. (If you know how hard it is to get gum out of hair, than having your body be made of gum is a nightmare to maintain)

(1/3) Another batch of characters: This is Hera: (One of two) lead directors of a logistics group that works with "airships" and "watercraft" centric jobs, such as couriers and traveling. Hera specializes in training new recruits to the job. (More details in the alts)
Hera has a very tomboyish, stubborn, and pompous personality, often showing off and teasing others smaller/shorter than her (so, lots of people). Though can also be pretty laid back and not take things as seriously as they should be.
Quite supportive and wishes to have everyone be the best they can be,  works hard to have everyone she trains to also works hard, enthusiastic, ans with little worry.
(Sort of has a sweet but rough-at-times, sportsy "soccer-mom" vibe to her). Hera has had a long history being a courier airship, and that has led to her making and giving broad pointers to those that are training to be one themselves, along with cheering on those undergoing capacity training/therapy to work as a air-balloon/watercraft being housed at the facility.
While she has long left her old group to make one of her own with her wife, she had keep some old motos and ideals from her old group. That is what inspired half of the own moto for the new group: "Eclipsing Logistics: Where all who work hard shall rise and shine..."

A fun sequence I made between Squashe and @kavajavabelly.bsky.social's Pneuella.

Round-a-Bout @round-and-about.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
Another new character: Squahse, a Honeypot ant ice cream vendor.
Squashe has a caring and pleasant personality, often doing kind acts to help others, and more prominently, trying to cheer people up with sweet treats (mainly ice cream)
She does sell it, though for its price its practically close to free. It feels like you might be ripping her off, and to people who are kind, her close friends, or if you ask nicely, she can give some ice cream free of charge.
Though very considerate, she can get a bit too carried away at times when making ice cream and makes tons of it. Her generous behavior will also lead to her offering far larger quantities of cream than what most can handle, and her well-mannered ideals leads her felling bad for giving too much and seeing it wasted (often indirectly causing others to feel bad an finish the rest of their large bowls of ice cream)A art peice before her proper design update, though on I am fond of.
Not much else to add, she things your epic, and that deservses a treat.

Getting this ported over here from my twitter account. A thread detailing/sharring my expansion/inflation-based fashion group, starting with the lead designer: 1/6 Wanda Kerr. (More details in alt text)
DapperWanda always has this outfit on at all times. If it looks like she is wearing something else, that is likely because she is covering it over, or that there are some attachments added onto the suit. Which is a signature feature of her clothing, lots of adaptability and customizability to the user's preference.Wanda often gets hands on when trying to come up with a new idea for a fashion line. Thinking about what can look good, or what kind of outfit would people with (X) kind of expanded/inflated body would want. Though on some occasions... stronger ideas become something more than an idea for a design for clothes.
