Description
This was drawn back when I first cooked up Inflatabelle. She was originally a Darkwing Duck villan.In the story I envisioned, one of the only ways Darkwing could stop her was to fill her with water so she couldn't move.
In retrospect, it was a bizarre idea. However, considering that this was a series where ol'Drake had to fight a demonic harlequin that lived in an evil jack-in-the-box that possesed a Mr. Banana Brain doll, my idea doesn't seem quite that odd anymore.
(Note: Hair style has changed since then. What was I thinking?)

Pfffffff. I love the look on DW's face. Poor Belle.

He has this look on his face that says "The things that I have to deal with when I go out each night. Geeze!"

hohoho. I like the style you draw them
Darkwings expression is really nice! And the scene is easy understandible ^^

Thank you! That's actually a great observation. Making sure the set up is clear and easily read from a distance is one thing I try to aim for.

Wellcome! Yeah, you are doing the work really good xD I imagine everyhing what happened ^^

I'm the sort of guy who wants no bad to come to characters I like.
I believe being arrested counts.

She would have made a really bad criminal. No self esteem, little motivation and a lot of alcohol.

When putting the laws of cartoons into play, she might be pretty destructive with a little creativity -
I'm thinking an abundance of propane tanks, a strikeable match and a location in proximity to an important city building.
Threaten to blow it up if she doesn't get a cash sum, inflate self with the tanks when she doesn't, and explode like a bomb using the match and her propane filled self.
Quick reform with those cartoon physics, and the deed's done.

One catch, she can't reform.
Heal punctures, sure, but recover from a full on Hindenburg explosion? Nope. It's a one way trip to the bone orchard for her if she did that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eeeep. I guess she can't be a.. umm.. persistent... suicide.. bomber then. Unless I gave her some reforming magic, but it's not like she'd accept it. 
So I'm out of other ideas to make her feel useful. Except maybe a job as a expansion product or buffet spokesperson/model. But you probably thought of those; they're pretty basic.

Actually I didn't even think of a buffet model or expansion product.
Wait, sketch what? *blink*

Well 
And she gets a rather chubby appearance from a small inflation (recalling one of your old pictures) , so she could look like a very happy customer after an all-you-can-eat session. With a before and after, she'd make it look like the food was -so- good she didn't care about her weight. She could do it for real I suppose too~

*Nodnod* A gifty sketch, yes. I was going to send you a note, but since you replied...!

As for the sketch

LOL!!
Go right ahead and post it my good man.
And thank you!

No problem. 'Tis uploaded!

No problem.
Say, do you RP? While I'm unaware of what antics could happen, I'm sure it'd be some fun.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've never RP'd. The closest thing I do is the occasional game of Halo online.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, well, do you know the basics anyway? Of like, text RPs. I think of them as acting out a comic/conversation.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not really. My work schedule doesn't really afford me a lot of online kicking back time. Which may be a good thing since I would probably be goofing around on Second Life if I did.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, you go on Second Life?
Well, the thing I love about RPs on DA is you can reply in your own time. Speed is welcome, but it's not like on IM programs where you're meant to be chatting every minute or so.

That is just too awesome! Wish that could have been added to the show.

Somehow I don't think an angry drunk with a fowl mouth would have worked on a family friendly kids show would have worked.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
It could have, if you made her drunk off of something silly (like carrot juice) and made her swear in made up words.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Just thought of something. She could still get drunk, but it could be 4Kids treated and re-dub the character saying it's apple juice.

Of just play wacky sound effects over her swears and have shots of the reactions of the other characters in the scene. That would work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, that's even better. I say one of the sound effects has to be a rubber ducky, though. Because...I don't know, it amuses me. But the character reactions work wonderfully. Kind of like how we only saw the shadow of Negaduck weilding his chainsaw in the direction of the other members of the fearsome four.
By the way, love this pic. I forgot to mention it, for some odd reason. And I love that DWD had to come up with a silly way to deffeat her. And Darkwing's expression in hilarious.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I like the rubber duck sound effect peppered into the swears. I can picture that sound blurting out whenever she really shouts at the top of her lungs.

I forgot about that, dear ...

cool! Darkwing was (with Ballo and Carnage) one of my favourite Disney characters

When I access the page on your site the doesn't show up in either standard or full view at your site but shows up as a thumb nail on my favorites. There is a tiny gray rectangle in the top center of where the file should be displayed in both regular and full views. Something is odd about it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Never heard of something like that before. Weird.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have three different file pages on favorites that do that. As I had hundreds of favorites that worked fine before the purge I did last night, I'm assuming that my local computer isn't at fault. Hopefully it's not an unwarranted assumption.

I've sent a bug report on the problem

Just so you know, it's a bug with my fire wall. Sorry for all the problems.
And I still love your sense of humor and art.
At least cable tv is moving toward more use of animated characters with grown up themes like drinking and swearing.
Did I say grown up?

Should be there. I see it on my screen.

First off, good title.
Beyond that, well-drawn.

You draw DW so well! I was thinking even before looking at this pic that Inflatabelle could have easily appeared in Darkwing Duck. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Oh I used to LOVE Darkwing Duck! *holds up treasured old action figure*
And he had some great villans! (Though now I am compelled to sit and try to name them all.)
Uh anyway, Oh I agree with Calbeck, too. Disney toons seem routinely stretchable.

'Belle did start out as a fan character for the Darkwing universe, but the humor of her alcoholism and crude language made her very un-TVYfv. If I have haven't posted it already, I have to slap up the storyboard panel I have of 'Belle looming over Darkwing, getting ready to whomp him one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well he did deserve an occasional whomping
Hah, her alcoholism reminds me of what you see at the Evil Eye Cafe in The Tick!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
When you think about it, quite a bit of inflation-related stuff went on in various episodes. Characters got blown up, trapped in bubbles, rode on same, etc...and every other stretchable character in existence (ex: Plasticman) has done the inflation thing more than once. So I'd say it's hardly out of character for a place like Saint Canard. -

That's true. It was a pretty bizarre town. Why anyone would live there, or any comic book metropolis, is beyond me. The insurance rates must be insane

Actually, one of the few Marvel comics that I really enjoyed (in those waning years before finally I gave up the Way of Stan) was "Damage Control". All about the poor mortal bastards who had to perform the engineering feats necessary for cleanup after city-wrecking spandex battles. Was great for about seven issues --- then someone got the bright idea of making one of the workers into a God-like super himself and the series rapidly imploded from there. But it DID spawn one of the great lines from the series..."Yeah, he took off like a bat outta hell...wasn't calling out sick, he said he felt fine, like he was having an ORIGIN or some damn thing..."

Even for a sketch, that's one of the better DW renditions I've seen. Belle's scandalized expression takes all.
