Art of Pneuella emptying out some old helium tanks for an upcomming restock.
Though this tank has a awful lot left for being near empty.
(Little does she know, the gauge is broken, and it was a full tank)

Doodling. I've been practicing pretty much all the way down. The sketch for this was drawn more with my shoulder than usual.

Another new character, Sokoroh: The "Palidin" who prides herself in upholding justice in the world... (and more so a fanatic of popping)
[More details in alt text]
Sokoroh is a combatant of a faction called the Foil Order, a group who wants to maintain a place of normality with a world "plagued" by expanded behaviors and threats that make up a majority of the world. The faction has different sub groups that vary in how they go about bringing a sense of normality (shelter, healing, combat, etc.) Sokoroh had gone the way of combat, eliminating threats who harm the innocent, striking down those who indulge in their sinister acts of inflating/expanding others. Sokoroh claims she doesn't let anything sway her actions, she does it only in the name of justice... though truth be told she gets a bit indulgent in her own way… one she does not admit… Sokoroh can often get bored in how she does things, a spear is her primary weapon, though she likes to shake things up every now and again. Bows, caltrops, harpoons, and for seasonal variety... icicles (she really likes winter), but when she is disarmed... she has one last weapon on hand... her hair pins which double as throwing darts. Though even without any weapons in her hands, she is not defenseless. She just gets a fresh way to pierce through an expanded foe, and a reason to not be holding back. Sokoroh can get quite merciless when she begins to struggle, or when the battle goes on longer than she wants. (Recreation of a meme) Sokoroh is a pretty skilled combatant, and in a world where most individuals are more balloon-like... a battle would often end quickly. Sokoroh is fully aware of this, so she often gets dramatic with her approach, thinking she is in control of the pace of the battle. She wants to see her opponent frightened, struggling as she gets some short jabs in with her pointed arsenal. Getting thrills as she plunged her weapon into the stretched skin, waiting for the opponent to give up in resisting what will inevitably happen. Sokoroh's soul flutters as her ears hear the satisfying bangs or pows, and the shower of scraps that fall upon the victor.

[2/2] An alt of what Kalli "normally" looks like.
Alt of what Kalli looks like when she isn't in her balloon-like form. One key note is that... a side effect of her dabbling with rubber trees, it has left her hair to being more of a solid sheet than traditional hair.

[1/2] A follow up from Sokoroh...
This is Kallinope (or Kalli for short), a quirky, pseudo-balloon person.
(more details about them in alt text)
Kalli, being her lovKalli, being her loveable self. Kalli mainly wanders about from place to place, having a slight affinity with forests and nature, rubber trees specifically. And with that connection to rubber trees had led her to develop some substance that can turn anyone more rubbery/balloon-like in nature. Though this transformation is not permanent (though she can easily make the change permanent, though she will not do it willy-nilly). She herself can shift between her balloon-like appearance and her "normal" look, but she prefers the former over the latter. Though it has left her hair permanently like a solid rubber sheet between both "forms". Kalli is a bit of a cheeky individual, playing occasional tricks on others. Inflating them, temporarily turning them into balloons/rubber, and often playfully toying with some people in their immobile state. However, she is not an ill-willed individual, she will not take things too far on purpose, and will have care when messing with others. She is a pretty kind, helpful, and generous person beyond her playful behaviors. Kalli's long hair can double as a protective cloak to blanket her body in, using it to prevent or counter damage back, or using it for camouflage. A moment from one of Kalli and Sokoroh's first encounter with each other. Long story short... Kalli lured Sokoroh into a couple blimp traps she set around the fight. Kalli kept dodging and tanking Sokoroh's attacks which progressively annoyed the latter and eventually being lured into a trap. One mistake led to another and Sokoroh was left immobile. From that day on Sokoroh gained a burning hatred towards Kalli, and swore she would impale her to scraps. Kalli on the other hand sees Sokoroh as someone who needs to unwind and be less harsh with her behaviors, otherwise Kalli is quite friendly, even to Sokoroh (which annoys Sokoroh even more). This began the two's "rivalry".

(2/2) Ella: Someone new to the city and is doing her best to stabilize her life in a new place, thinking being an Aerobics coach would be a good place to start and make friends. (Details of how that went in the alt text)
Ella is... pretty much an average woman by comparison to other characters. She graduated from college a couple years ago, and decided to move from her hometown to somewhere new. Once settled in a place, she wanted to try and make some acquaintances, and decided to host an aerobics class... though there weren't many people interested... until a... certain other character… came along as a member. The two got along pretty well, but Ella noticed with every session, her friend, Hana, appeared more plump every time Ella saw her. Ella brushed it off, but concern was in the back of Ella's mind, and before she could address it, Hana then prompted a surprise for Ella, a trip to a bathhouse as thanks for her aerobics sessions and how it helped make her body more limber. Ella then once more brushed off her concerns one more time, and accepted the offer... Little would Ella know later that day her life would be taken of course to what she was expecting.

OC (1/2)
Another batch of characters, this is Hana: A casual Blimp-Sumo enthusiast, though more of a big softy who loves saunas and bathhouses. (More details in alt text)
Hana's "normal" attire, loose and open for free movement and for any size she may be at. Pretty sweet and pleasant not a single rude bone in her body, though she is also aloof at times, with certain things going over her head. Hana in her under/sumo-wear, along with being slightly bigger. Though this may seem suitable for the traditional version of the sport... some Blimp-sumo groups ask for... a bit more from the applicants. Regardless of her size and appearance, she is very welcoming and supportive to her friends (often by inviting the to relax with her, either just hanking out, or a trip to a sauna) Hana at her largest size... that she is required to be, she can get much bigger, though this is the average you would commonly see her at, either through matches, or maybe after she leaves a sauna or bathhouse. She spent a long time to be able to get this big, her sauna trips, healthy routines, being inflated for prolonged periods of time... a somewhat recently a small aerobics* "group" she joined. And even at this size Hana remains still very pliable, and ethereally soft, pliable skin about a foot into her blimped body.

Another new character: Squahse, a Honeypot ant ice cream vendor.
Squashe has a caring and pleasant personality, often doing kind acts to help others, and more prominently, trying to cheer people up with sweet treats (mainly ice cream) She does sell it, though for its price its practically close to free. It feels like you might be ripping her off, and to people who are kind, her close friends, or if you ask nicely, she can give some ice cream free of charge. Though very considerate, she can get a bit too carried away at times when making ice cream and makes tons of it. Her generous behavior will also lead to her offering far larger quantities of cream than what most can handle, and her well-mannered ideals leads her felling bad for giving too much and seeing it wasted (often indirectly causing others to feel bad an finish the rest of their large bowls of ice cream) A art peice before her proper design update, though on I am fond of. Not much else to add, she things your epic, and that deservses a treat.

(3/3) Bonus things with Hera and Dorthy:
The two had undergone a bit of a rivals to lovers arc that led to the two making their own logistics group.
The images bellow reprsent both halfs of the "rivals" and "lovers" part of their dynamic.
Hera and Dorthy's groups were both working for a job at the same location. Dorthy looked at Hera, feeling a tad insulted at her, she prompted "Hey, I know you guys are air, but don't let that get to your head, that blown bosom of yours isn't doing you any favors with your job, getting in the way of arm space." Hera smirked, feeling like she was being challenged, responding: " 'Kay then as you seem soooo, much more qualified at my own job, ill just hand you my work load while I call in to take my break." Hera said this right as she took in a large breath to puff out her chest, and gave her workload onto Dorthy. This is the moment that started the two's dynamic. Being transparent, wanted to clearly show Hera messing about. Also, Hera's outfit here is one she had back in the day, was basically just a regular swimsuit. Clothing regulations for her group was very flexable. Hera keeps the old around (nostalgia, though it still functiosn well as a regular swimsuit), though her custom made skydiving-like oufit she wears today is more stylish. A wedding photo of the two. Dorthy had been spending sleepless weeks working towards everything being perfectly, while Hera was... quite honestly procrastinating with stuff on her end (she didn't get a properly fitting suit in time for the wedding). Dorthy was very on edge on that day, many things ending up not going to plan. Though Dorthy persisted, believing the last thing to preserve the day would go flawlessly... but Hera had a ploy arise in her mind. At the last second Hera picked up her newly wed wife who was surprised by one last thing she didn't think to account for to change the plans: Her wife.

(2/3) and this is Dorthy, who specializes in the more technical and business side of the group.
Making schedules, calls, paperworks, but on occasions checks in to teach new recruits a couple things as well.
Dorthy is a very organized, calculated, and quite often stern individual. Always focused on keeping track of things so that things go smoothly and efficiently as possible, often giving a cold reception to those that are falling behind and interrupting work. In spite of her mean looking demineor, she does want the best for eveyrone, she just brings it down more harshly onto others to get the point across. Currently, she help manage more technical aspects of the logistics group, checking supplies, monotoring worker behavior, tending to the needs of developing air-balloons/watercrafts choosing to be housed there, and the list can go on. Dorthy's attire when she used to be a part of a watercraft group. She was a hard worker there, and took notes of some methods, like being filled with water to act as a ballast tank for balance, and along with it helping the body remain pliable and ease of being filled with air to become a suitable watercraft on any occasion. Though having to consume and retain that for balance has left her having a lot of "water weight" to this day. That kind of efficiency and logical mindset is the other half of Hera and Dothy's logistics group moto: "and those that are plunged into the waters persist and reach out to their goals".

(1/3) Another batch of characters:
This is Hera: (One of two) lead directors of a logistics group that works with "airships" and "watercraft" centric jobs, such as couriers and traveling.
Hera specializes in training new recruits to the job.
(More details in the alts)
Hera has a very tomboyish, stubborn, and pompous personality, often showing off and teasing others smaller/shorter than her (so, lots of people). Though can also be pretty laid back and not take things as seriously as they should be. Quite supportive and wishes to have everyone be the best they can be, works hard to have everyone she trains to also works hard, enthusiastic, ans with little worry. (Sort of has a sweet but rough-at-times, sportsy "soccer-mom" vibe to her). Hera has had a long history being a courier airship, and that has led to her making and giving broad pointers to those that are training to be one themselves, along with cheering on those undergoing capacity training/therapy to work as a air-balloon/watercraft being housed at the facility. While she has long left her old group to make one of her own with her wife, she had keep some old motos and ideals from her old group. That is what inspired half of the own moto for the new group: "Eclipsing Logistics: Where all who work hard shall rise and shine..."
