Sketches, & then let's talk Tags. (Patreon)

I spent more than I should have yesterday morning organizing things here, & kind of wanted to talk about it, but quite honestly, I felt bad making a post like that without something of substance, so please enjoy some assorted sketches of things looming in my WIP folder. Mostly experimenting with varying shapes & angles. Some are closer to completion than others, some are recent, some are a bit older. But these were some of my favorites I thought it’d be okay to share.

Great! Okay!  Since I’ve got you here? This is probably something only I care about, but I try to be as diligent as possible with tags on here in hopes of making things an easy experience for all of you guys. Like I know not everyone into inflation is necessarily blueberries, or everyone into weight gain's into either of those & vice versa. So I try to keep tabs as straightforward & updated as best as I can. That said, I have a lot & feel the need to elaborate on some of the categories. If only because there I've classified them in such a way, that I feel like there are certain things people might be into a specific sort of thing & I don't want them to miss out.

So here we go:

Interests

• WG - Weight gain. And anything Fats, essentially.
• Inflation - Self-explanatory, but also any growth not necessarily fats, but not necessarily blueberry either.
• Blueberry - Self-explanatory I hope.
• Pumpkin - Again, but this time a little more seasonal.
• Cream - For whenever it's kind of called out specifically from regular old inflation
• Other Fruit - Neither Blueberry or pumpkin (that's a fruit right? There's seeds after all.)
• Lighter than air - For floaty types. I'm a lot more preferential to there being at least some heft, but rarely, going the helium route's cool too.
• Belly - Growth is centered primarily in the belly region or midsection.
• Butt - Growth is centered primarily in the ass or hips
• Aftermath - Pertaining to anything after the initial growth stops. They could remain stuck at that size, or dealing occasionally with tinier growth spurts, or somewhere on their way back to a somewhat more normal shape.
• Bulgy - Subsection of Aftermaths, but specifically the latter mentioned. A figure that's already dealt with expanding & is back on their way to normal, but definitely not all the way there quite yet.
• Round - Whenever we see a full body shot of an inflated or blueberrified figure, almost as wide as they are tall
• Juice - Subsection of Blueberries in particular, where there is at least some visible suggestion of juice, be it puddles, leaks, or even very slight stains.
• Monster -Some sort of transformation outside the scope of a character just getting big. I think the two I have is the ogre oni girl, or maybe the sketch of a cowgirl.
• Holiday - Posted specifically in relation to any holiday.

Medium/Specific Style of Post

• Story - Anything where there's a story involved, be it a short story or chapter to a longer piece
• Vignette - A piece of writing that's a bit shorter, less formal than a story, just looking to establish a few ideas or a certain situation.
• Pic - Artwork that I spent a decent amount of time on
• Quickie - Art that was kind of done on a whim where I didn't go into it expecting to spend a lot of time on.
• Morph - Photo manipulations. I’d like to do more, but I feel like I really need to stumble across the right photo to do it nicely.
• Multimedia - Whenever there's like several elements to a post like a story & a pic, or a pic where I try to make it looks like it fits into a fake social media post.
• Process - Any time when there's a "making of," be it a timelapse, project file, or showing how something got made.
• Variant - Remix of a previous post that tackles another kind of interest, like an inflation drawing that could work as a Blueberry piece as well. Almost always with new dialogue/back story unique to it.
• FullRes - Whenever larger, higher res files are included on piece. I always work a lot bigger, & lately I've gotten into the habit of this as it's been asked for. There's a few big ones floating around randomly untagged, but I tried to mark it in the places I knew for sure.
• Gif - For the few times whenever a piece of art is in animated gif format.
• Comic - A sequence of images beyond just one frame
• Sequence - Specifically showing a sequence of growth, be it in comic form in one post, or a character's grown in reference to an earlier post.
• Fanart - Characters that I didn't create but felt compelled to draw
• OC - Characters I create & intend on drawing multiple times.
• Character Sheet - Whenever I lay out an OC reference
• WIP - An unfinished piece. It may or may not always get finished.
• Preview - A sneak peek of something I am working towards finishing up or posting.
• Old - Something done a significant time before I posted it here, whether it's been seen before or not.
• Archive - Something already posted somewhere else, but added here as a way to keep my favorite work together.
• Remaster - An update on an older piece posted elsewhere that I feel a lot happier with after giving another pass. Older versions remain where they're originally posted.
• Weekly - Specifically for the goal, as Bellflower started out. At the time I didn't have a job that kept me as busy as the one I have now so I can't in good conscious keep using this tag with it, but dammit, I'm trying my best!

Project Based

• Bellflower - Long form WG series about a condo that really seems to be fattening up its residents
• Hope's Hubris - Series from 2020 where month by month, a girl name Hope didn't ever seem to want to acknowledge her slowing metabolism, even as the world went to shit (in real time!)
• BOCYKTMW - "But Of Course You Know, This Means War." A series about feuding roommates I started on here early on. After a few tie-ins, I had a third part of a sequence I got hung up on & it prevented me working on further elements like an intro story. Have always hoped to return to it!
• H2C4YBG - "How to Care for your Berry Girl." Look guys, animation is hard. Again, not dead, but this one was always been very ambitious & has been a great deal of work. Project creep is very real. Hopefully more soon (as I have been knocking around with it some since the beginning of this year)!
• G&T - I couldn't think of a better name, so moving forward, stories featuring the characters Gita & Tom will all have this tag. I was trying to keep the theme of the titles all with words starting with "Un-" but that's not a really sustainable naming convention.
• Cerulea - So far there's only been the first part of "Disrupt," so it may be a little premature, but I'd like to do a series based on the world being built here.

Other

• Poll - Haven't ran any in a minute, but pretty self explanatory, whenever I run a poll.
• Bookkeeping - This is the first one of these, & going forward, this is just for any other sort of utility, "blog" posts where I kind of talk about the patreon itself. Beyond short updates in post, I always try to keep these to an absolute minimum & focus on the stuff you're here to see.

I think that's all of them. And sorry for having to deal with me being compelled to do that. If I missed any or you feel like I should add existing posts I missed or something, let me know. At this point, merging any or going back's kind of a pain, so let's avoid that. But I was thinking, should I add some from Rolling? Waddling? Stuffing? Hungry? Pleased to be big? Outgrown their feet? Something else? Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments! Like I said, I know different people have their different interests so indexing this stuff to make it easier for folks seems beneficial.
