Feel free to make all the ‘pumpkin’ jokes you like. She’s heard them all.

Thanks I could design my inflatable suit by using that design of yours but i haven't got the right materials or the right machinery to make one.

I'll just say this on the last picture before I go on a mass 'add to favorites' kick for all of these: the entire concept and design you came up with for OW Belle is just freaking amazing. The ins and outs, all the fine detail on exactly what her outfit would look like and how it would operate is just awe inspiring.
You put so much thought and work into this and it shows. The design is fantastic and I just adore how you were able to make her powers work in a different setting, just like the GMD universe. You've inspired me to put more effort into doing that with my own characters with power sets, like Candy or Pixi if they ever step out of the DWD or my own personal universe.
Great stuff, Grey, seriously. Now on to faving it all!!

I'm happy that I inspired something positive from my insanity.
This is a fun project to toy with. I love figuring out the logistics of how things would work.
I'd love to see how you flesh out your own gaggle of characters in the future.

One day, when I get enough time. I'd love to, particularly with Candy.

Wait, so it IS the suit blowing up? What's this "peculiar physical condition" that she has, then?

I knew this would perplex people. LOL
She is still a rubber duck but not as flexible or elastic as modern universe Belle. She invented the suit to both act as an emergency precaution for saving her passengers and as a cover for her expansive abilities. If anyone sees her 'larger-than-life', so to speak, she can just say it was her special garment. She's very embarrassed by her condition and has to move from town to town as people discover what she really is.

Interesting. The suit has it's own air, and internal air bladders as well. I can see she's used the principals of using internal gasbags in a airship for use in a multi-cell bouyancy garment. In fact we use this today for space probes...
I like where she's going with this!

Couple that with being able to fill it with hydrogen and she can lighten herself for working outside her airship. Or making herself a potential firebomb. O.o

Fascinating.
I wager her "talent" in this has made her incredibly light, so she doesn't need much Hydrogen to keep aloft?

For herself, no. For her airship, not so much. Purchasing all that coal gas, iron filings and sulphuric acid wears a hole in the ol' wallet.

Let's hope she never has to resort to bank robbery for extra cash.

Interesting design!
Though, I guess she's not naturally inflatable in this version ... right?

GreyOfPTA In reply to BalloonPrincess [2015-06-23 19:40:52 +0000 UTC]
She is. Part of the reason she invented this suit was to cover up the fact that she was 'different' from everyone else. Any expansive accidents could be played off as her testing her suit.

Wow... that's seriously a neat way of going about it. How did you come up with that idea?
