Well, it looks like we've come across a particularly belligerent flareon. No worries, though - some tape will take care of that for now.

That fire has to go somewhere, though...

This is just a quick and lazy (one of my quickest, in fact) drawing to lead up to a nice little inflation series. Seeing as how it's part of an inflation series, I decided to categorize it under inflation, but I'll do otherwise if anybody is particularly bothered by it. I like how the fire turned out, at least, and I got to learn a bit about different layer types in the process. Who knew drawing pictures of furry things being filled to bursting could be so educational?

Hey, I actually came up with a nice title with ease for once.

With the fire's only means of being let out closed up, it begins to accumulate, expanding the flareon's belly. They don't look too thrilled about it, but a flareon can get bigger than that. I'm not sure that they know just how much their limits are about to be tested.

I'm sure all that warmth feels rather cozy, actually. It's gonna get a lot hotter in just a little bit, though.

Alright, I feel kind of bad about being so lazy with this one. Using the same pose for the two introductory panels was one thing, but this doesn't really have any excuse. I already had a pose in mind for the second instalment onwards, but then I realized that I had to lead up to that pose, and I didn't want to come up with a whole new pose just for the one unexpected part of the series. From the next instalment onwards, though, I'll stop being a lazy ass and use better poses.

Finally realizing what's happening, the flareon becomes nervous and begins to wince as pressure builds within them. Their own weight pushing down on their belly probably doesn't help.

That belly can hold plenty more, I'm sure.

There, a new pose as promised. I will say that I'm feeling kind of lowly right now, seeing as how I'm not actually making each instalment from scratch (even if I'm changing expressions and whatnot), but limitations of time and interest ultimately result in this. You might have noticed by this point that I ditched the idea of the fire glowing from inside like I did with the tyhplosion - I want to use a different technique this time around that will probably look better without any sort of transparency. Sorry to those of you (myself included, really) that are into that.

Hey, at least the belly looks pretty round. Let's see if that'll hold true through the rest of this series.

As the flareon's belly is filled even more, it begins to become taut and red from the stress as the fire glows inside. It looks like they can really feel the pressure building up, too, wincing from being stretched so tight. I'm sure that they have just a little more give, though.

I guess I went back on that whole "no transparency effects" thing. The redness looks a tad odd with the glow there, but it worked out better than I had expected it to. I'm having fun with this fire stuff.

And here we are, as the flareon's finally stretched to their limit, unable to do anything but sit on top of their painfully tight belly. At this point, there's only one thing left to happen: that fire has to go somewhere.
_________________________________________________________________________________

I definitely do think that I have this whole "roundness" thing down a little more consistently, now. It's not perfect, but it does actually look like the flareon's belly has depth to it to some degree or another. Shading weird objects like large bellies is difficult to get the hang of. I think that I did the expression nicely, too.

I really don't know if I want to keep doing this "stress lines" thing to show that a character's belly is at its limit. It definitely makes it looked stretched, but I've also seen a few people speak of how they disliked it. I might just keep doing it until I run into somebody saying so on one of my submissions.

Like usual, any comments and/or advice is appreciated. Feedback gives me more to work with, which means more furry things becoming bloated beyond capacity (be it of a non-PG nature of otherwise).

Well, it wasn't much of a surprise at this point, was it? Swollen from the flames, the little flareon's belly gets bigger and tighter until... pop. It looks like the tape finally gave out, too, but I suppose that it's a bit too late for that. Oh well. They did get pretty big, didn't they?
_________________________________________________________________________________

Ah, my first illustration of popping. I think that it turned out well enough. I wasn't really sure what to do in terms of making the fire 'fly outwards' as it would when the flareon burst, so I just kind of left it alone, especially with it being fire as opposed to some kind of fluid (e.g. air or water). It's been a while since I screwed around with transparency like I did here (the last time being in "Trapped and Taut," which is kinda old at this point).

Well, I'm quite fond of popping. To me, inflation without popping is little other than a tease, all sorts of build-up without a climax. I don't actually have any stance on the whole "reforming after popping" thing - I simply don't think about what happens after popping. So long as I see somebody burst, I'm satisfied, and death isn't exactly something that I have a thing for, despite my sadistic tastes in inflation that drive me to include all sorts of straining and general signs of the character being inflated being in some sort of discomfort. I do usually prefer that it be cartoon-y without any sort of blood, and I will stick to drawing that sort of popping as such, but I'll be honest and say that I don't mind it much as long as it's on the mild side as opposed to gore and organs everywhere. Bluh, now I have all sorts of mental imagery going on my head (sorry for any unpleasant thoughts I ended up giving you, too).

Anyhow, having not done any sort of pop before, I do know that I can do much better. As always, any sort of advice is greatly appreciated.
