Favorite Artist?
I've been meaning to find more inflation artist, and I'm just wondering what are some more liked ones out there. My personal favorite is probably 0pik-0ort, the shapes of his inflation art fit my tastes rather well. I do want to find other artists, so post your favorites as well!
gwahhh is pretty incredible.
Skie-Maree does a lot of stuff that I like.
DJ-Bapho definitely, his stories are good but his artwork is very nice. Kidquetzal's stuff is really surreal and top-notch. Though not body inflation, I've been a big fan of Khornath on dA.
Personally I like the art of SnowChan and Beltpop too. Also one of my top favourites must be Sonier103 (tought his art is more focused on WG)
I follow many artists but I think these are the highlights of those still mostly active:
Astral Antipode has one of the best fluid styles. There are some older pics floating around here and elsewhere that I've always wondered whether they are his (hers?).
Fenris49 has one of the most unique and cutest styles. Very detailed.
I like Gwahhh's use of digital sketching and color.
Penoda is very polished and he's good a staying "in character".
Lilly_Moo's inflation stuff is very balloony.
Beltpop's work isn't the most polished but it's very complete in execution.
Likewise, Immortaltom's inflation work - not the most polished but he does a good job of conveying floatiness and ballooniness.
Colortwist does some good 3D stuff.
Seriojainc's work is probably the most commercial in quality.
And a newcomer, 2B_Labs has been knocking it out of the park.
He doesn't do much lately but Critical_Volume was one of the first really good artists in the genre and was quite a trendsetter.
Tlink - a moment of silence, please.
Me.
No, seriously. I don't understand how stupidly hard it is to find an artist that does exclusively male hooman content and that focuses on air inflation. A few special mentions, though, all from dA:
shoker2008 for literally being the dude who introduced me to maleflation. Nowadays I'm not that much interested in his art anymore but BOY does he produce some gems from time to time, and for those reasons he'll always have a special place in my heart.
wannabehuge who does pretty good male morphs. The inflation content he produced is great too.
Fronomoo who draws very good round male guts when she doesn't do WG. While she doesn't do a lot of airflation her stuffing art is still top notch because this ROUNDNESS. Her style is super cute too!
That's all there is on the top of my head. There's likely more, but I'm too tired for remembering everyone hhhhhhhh
Triple-B-Lovers, lived like a star and left with a bang
He had an extraordinary gallery too! May he rest well :(
mechrot does some neat 3D things from time to time
0pik-0ort is fantastic. Kidquetzal is also fantastic but less active these days. Beltpop is also top notch, and I don't know of an artist that is better at depicting the weight of berried/water-filled inflatees. I also love VladDrake because he really makes an effort to tell stories with his art.
Current honorable mentions for me include LordAltros, DJ-Bapho (BaphometDisciple), and gwahhh.
