Description
body div#devskin0 hr { }
as many of you probably can tell, I am a fan of female transformation in all shapes and sizes; FMG, body expansion in all facets, giantess, pretty much anything. you name it, in some way or another I find an allure in body transformations of women.
for the longest time, I used to lurk here on DA and see all kinds of art dealing with these concepts. it's part of what made me want to make my own. as I started, I started out like a lot of people here; simply making a one page portrait with a text depicting the scenario and it would just be THAT particular scenario wether it be expansion or whatever. for awhile it was fine but I started to reach deeper to understand more of what it is about MY desire to create this art.
in no way am I saying what I do is the best method, format, or medium for a persons inner expression of their viscreal thrill; all of us are different and we all express ourselves as we do. but over time I felt just simply having the scenario present wasnt enough. a page or even a 2 or 3 page comic depicting just got boring to me no matter how good the artwork was and there is wonderful works here showing that.
I turned back to the classics in movies, and tv shows that use these concepts in terms of comedy or horror and examined them more closely. there are a lot of classics that the communities hold in high regard such as violet beauregardes expansion or irma from ninja turtles becoming a giantess. I wanted to understand what it was about these that even after time still held that intrigue even when the intention was not to create that stirring.
to me it was more clear; it's the not situation itself that held all the captiveness but rather the story as a whole. I saw characters I formed an emotional bond to, a story i was mesmerized by, settings that intrigued me. things that made my imagination entirely go nuts. and it was the introduction of that scenario that made the stirring more passionate because i felt more connected to what i was witnessing.
so my style has developed to create not just a simple situation where the climax is showing the implied fetish but rather, I wish to replicate those classics of having characters and stories one can feel intrigued by only to have the fetish brought in to assist. obviously the majority of people here are here to.....well you know and that approach just dosent go fast enough as one page showing a character already in that state.. but i'm more of a person who finds a better sensation from a well written story to enhance these aspects. I feel they are better as pieces than be the actual game.
my story thicker, for those of you who arent following it on patreon, is a story of body expansion but my goal was to create a story with a much slowed down pace that i think is different from a lot of expansion comics i have read. I made body expansion more of a character element rather than the overall theme because of course it will and has expansion in it, but it comes richer to me if i see characters reacting in ways I find to be more....realistic. holly is a women who is coming off as mentally unbalanced as she is a closet inflat-o-phile and its just to watch her journey down the rabbit hole as she is cursed with growing larger and how it affects her obsession which in turn affects her life. So to me the story is what makes the fetish, not the other way around.
feel free to comment if you agree, disagree, or just want to inject your 2 cents. these are fascinating things to me so hearing from the community is something I like to look upon and understand more of as alot of this is till a mysterious topic to me.

I know exactly where you're coming from. Though I've only started to dabble in the creation part, I'm constantly writing down story ideas and hoping to create ongoing stories. I need that character development and story progress for it to mean anything for me. Many of the stories I think of make me worry that it would force the reader to wade through too mich backstory to get to the pay off, which may still be the case but we'll get there. I love getting into characters heads when these things happen and how they feel about what's happening is very important. I'm glad to hear other people feel this way also

there is such a thing as too much backstory but having just the right amount of build up enriches the characters for when the main problem in the story takes place. you dont need to come up with a massive bio of the character but just enough that compliments the stories direction. I stopped doing the "OC" thing alot of people tend to do simply cuz its more time on info that isnt relevant to the story I want to tell. it takes time but the story itself is what people will see and requires the most focus

I 100% agree on this. For me, the end goal is nice and fuels the fetish folder, but I always love a good story to go with it. This is what I love in movies as well, when the central theme is only a portion of the movie. A good story always captures my attention and only makes the payoff so much more rewarding when it happens. I have read many stories in the inflation community, and most are pretty bland and boring in my opinion. However, there are a few gems out there that build such a good story, that makes the fetish feel like a second idea rather than the main point. And when you tie the two together and have such an impact at the end, you get such a rewarding ending. I could talk about this all day, but I think you get the point. Haha

this is getting very relieving to hear that the communities are more intrigued with a depth of storytelling rather than simply the same situation over and over again. This is really motivating me to continue my pursuit of an established subgenre where these elements are an aesthetic like in body horror but more so for the fetish community. thanks for the input

Dude, I love body horror films, so seeing content like yours makes me so happy tbh. There was a point when I thought I got burnt out of the inflation fetish, since all I ever saw was the same thing over and over. It got really boring and monotonous seeing slightly different circles every day. Then I found more content that expanded the fetish (no pun intended) and made me come running back to it.

flattered my friend. I love these fetishes alot and more than just for the common reason; to me they hold a life of their own and if done right, can hold a literature genre all their own

I get where you are coming from. For me the aftermath of a transformation is the most fascinating bit. How it changes someone's life and how others perceive them afterwards.

thats interesting because my general observation is that many are fascinated by the actual process, hence why I see tons of comics that REALLY take their time showing almost every facet of transformation. but I can see where you're at with that; looking at the thing before you and seeing the loss of humanity or what a person may have been before their current state has a sort of morbid intrigue to me. and going back to the story with the idea in your mind that the person will be VERY different later in the story has a certain excitement to it

Exactly! Don't get me wrong, I love the process as well. How someone reacts to changes in the moment is very interesting. I just find the life changing implications of a transformation much more interesting.

It's entirely expected and I would say encouraged. Knowing the characters, having a appropriate reaction to what really is kinds of body horror, being able to know what they think and feel what they feel... it's the cornerstone of kinks really. And like most things, the best kinds are when they come up unexpectedly.
You really got the right idea, but the correct application is dang hard to pull off when its something you're already expecting.
At least that's how I feel about it. That's why 99% of people don't bother and just go for the easy end.

insightful. that makes ALOT of sense. i can definitely see how many of us would love to replicate that fruitful of an expirience but as you say, it being already expected it creates a sense of "why bother" because the story is already heading that direction. that's why when I do my comics, I try to create a situation that sort of distracts or deviates traditionally.
best example ive seen so far was the misadventures of berrygirl. once she's turned into a giant blueberry, the girl that finds her engages in a bit kissing with her which throws some (not much but more than most) chemistry into the story that I found more alluring than the situation at hand. a blueberry comic yes but even those two little panels stuck out to me more than the rest of the comic where she swells up most of the time.

That comic also spent like three pages setting up who this girl is and how she feels. It implies a rich history to the character and having her old friend in the mix plugged her into the world a bit

it had really good established charatcers which gave the comic a bit more life than the standard affair.
