DISCLAIMER: THIS PICTURE WAS NOT DRAWN BY ME! It was purchased as a commission from the awesome Waltz.
An old commission I picked up a little under two years ago, but never got around to uploading for various reasons.
When it comes to huffing and puffing, there are few who do it better than Gus T. Blowhard. Like the Big Bad Wolf of fairytale fame, Gus has been 'blessed' with the ability to inhale monstrous amounts of air - puffing himself up like a big, furry balloon - then blow it out again with hurricane force, allowing him to topple trees and flatten buildings in a single, titanic breath. Despite the somewhat narrow focus of this gift, Gus has managed to build a solid career of of it. Aided by his brawny physique, he has managed to find steady work in construction, demolition, land-clearing, and has even worked occasional stints as a living air compressor. All that huffing and puffing takes a toll on Gus' wardrobe however, and rarely does a day go by without the big wolf having to replace at least a few of the buttons on his shirt.
Thankfully, while Gus shares his exceptional lung capacity with the Big Bad Wolf, his disposition is far more agreeable. Friendly, jovial and laid back, he can always be relied upon to lend a helping hand or cheer up those who are feeling down. He isn't the least bit self-conscious about his appearance or the effect his powers often have on his body, and is quite proud of his talent for huffing and puffing. He's always eager to show off how much air he can hold, or how hard he can blow - perhaps a little too eager, come to think of it. His enthusiasm has a way of getting the best of him, and it's not uncommon for Gus to get so swollen with air while showing off that he nearly bursts. Indeed, were it not for the timely intervention of his friends, the big guy would likely have exploded ages ago. These close calls never seem to dampen Gus' spirits however - assuming he notices them at all - and he continues to puff and blow with gusto, not caring how many buttons or seams he busts along the way.
