Pump designing ‘n stuff

     I put this out on Twitter, but I wanna put it here as well, with a more detailed thought.

     Back when I first started drawing inflation stuff, one of the things I enjoyed about as much as the person being inflated was designing the device that was doing the inflating. To this day I still find it to be rather fun designing little contraptions to transport air into the bellies of the willing and unwilling alike. This made me curious to know if there are any others out there who are as interested as I in such a thing.

     I’m not just talking about in drawings either, I mean in the real world just as much as the fictional. One thing that’s always bothered me about most rl belly inflation videos that I’ve seen is that they’re all rather bland in their selection of tools. I know full well that they’re just playing it safe with their choice of pumps, but it doesn’t make for very interesting content. How many videos are there of people using actual helium tanks, or an electric pump with a little giddyup, or even just going to town with their bike pump? 

     I suppose I may as well announce here and now that, in the future, I do intend to start producing such content myself. I’m curious as to everyone’s ideas on what they’d like to see, if they’d want to see it happen at all, and how far I should take it. A Patreon of some variety, perhaps? We’ll see; gotta get my figure a bit more camera-ready first. Also, before anyone tries to lecture me about it, it should be no secret anymore that I’ve been doing it on and off for about 15 years, with a wide variety of tools and toys, so I do have a pretty good idea of what I’m talking about.

     So, what d’y’all think?
