In memory of the Deviant Art account of TheHungryLurker (12/25/2021 - 4/18/2024)Post pictures of blueberry girls. Bonus points for rare finds from artists who are no longer active and/or their personal galleries are no longer around. The longer they've been gone, the higher the multiplier.Preferably girls only, please.This thread is specifically for blueberry inflation. Post standard inflation to the thread on /d/. But if someone offers to take recolor requests, posting images for recoloring is fine.NO AI GENERATED IMAGES ALLOWED.

>>8141705First broke onto the scene with this picture when someone said they'd pay to se Arezu as a blueberry.I still have the redraw of a sketch an anon on an old inflation thread made when I needed some help getting her face right, since I'd never drawn manga serious before. Legitimately one of the most touching interactions I'd had on this site.
>>8141705One anonymous mad lad commissioned all five of these BlazBlueberry pictures, their interest being that they'd never seen any of these girls drawn as blueberries before. Neither had I, so it actually fells like a little bit of an honor to say I was the first (as far as I know).

>>8141757You know something weird, is this edited image that I made to get around Deviant Art's policies on sexual content is rated almost a full two points higher than the unedited version.Fucking confusing.
>>8141764This was the commissioner's favorite of the five. Even though the displeased pout is a little out of character for sociopathic death goddess Izanami, we both thought it was too precious to not use.
>>8141705Commission for anonymous. Despite my lackluster attempts at cell shading and not knowing how to properly draw lips, this has become a sentimental favorite of mine, just for how much Milo and Nessa are shown to love each other.
>>8141705Another commission for another anonymous. I've been wanting to revisit this one for a while, both because I have a really good idea for it, and to make up for how badly I fucked up drawing her face in this one.
>>8141705My half of a trade with BloopsyBlue, who came up with this idea after I preemptively turned down drawing Chihiro. Another artist named ManPersonGuy was so inspired that he later drew Chihiro in this situation himself.
>>8141705ArcosianFan1's winning suggestion for the 2023 Christmas Drawing Poll, which Carmine won with more than double the votes of the next runner up, I believe due to someone posting a link to the poll here. I really like the perspective techniques I used to portray Carmine's sheer size, but unfortunately, I screwed up her right eye after coloring until 6 in the morning on Christmas Day, and I still can't draw lips for shit. (They looked better in the line art, I swear.)
>>8141705Simple flat color commission for OpaqueSheep, but I really liked how her eyes turned out, and a few people were very happy to see Valerie berried like this, for how rare it is to see her like this.The companion piece with a Haxorus (not sure if I can post it here) was one that one of my watchers had been hoping and waiting to see for over a decade.
are they bleeding?
>>8141984No. One of the biggest misconceptions about blueberry inflation is that blueberry juice is blue. It isn't, just like how watermelon juice isn't green. It's actually a dark magenta color, and the fluid is very light absorbent, so it appears almost black if you have enough of it pooled together, as you can see in the linked picture.https://i5.peapod.com/c/JP/JPQDK.jpgOpik Oort is one of the only other artists who's gotten this right.
>>8141741This is my favorite one… I like the bubbling juices and unsure expression.
>>8142056Curious if there's a version of this without the jizz, dicks and face makeup. Or at least the dicks, since the rest could probably be edited out. They're all pretty distracting. I seriously doubt it, tho.
>>8141764Hope you don't mind, but this (imo) needed a color correction badly.
>>8143611Thank you. The commissioner loves blueberries to be just a squirting mess of juice, and this being my first major picture, set a precedent for a lot of my work moving forward.As for her expression, I was going for a blend of frustration, fear, and arousal, all conflicting with each other yet feeding into one another. The one thing that scares a girl who values her competency and sense of responsibility as much as Arezu even more than the existential terror of being turned into a giant, helpless, naked blueberry is the staggering realization that she really, REALLY likes it, as if turning into a blueberry has awoken her inner submissive. So she tries to fight against everything about her situation, but her powerlessness makes her even more frightened, which makes her even more horny, which makes her even more agitated and afraid, which only turns her on her more, and it all just builds and builds like the juice inside her until the carnal hunger of her new body asserts itself over all else, and her need for release erodes all her will to resist.Part of Arezu is freaking out, but a girl doesn't channel enough hentai magic to turn the shape of the lights in her eyes into hearts if she isn't absolutely loving everything about what's happening to her.
>>8143889No, I don't mind. While a bit excessive, the contrast does help bring out some of the features a little better, and Taokaka's face looks as uniformly black as it's supposed to.In fact, this actually inspired me to go back and try to darken her face with an 8B pencil (darkest I had when I first made this was a 4B), and to fill out some of the colors a little more.How did you go about doing this? I'm a bit technologically illiterate, if still working with pencils wasn't enough of an indication.
>>8144619This one was a bit weird compared to stuff I normally edit, but since the some of the blue was darker than the black I used a black/white filter, which lets me decide what colors to turn black, gray or white. I turned up everything light except blue and cyan. Then I set that layer to multiply the color pic, which darkened all those black/blue areas. And I also made it a bit transparent, since it made it a bit TOO dark.That was the main thing, but I also adjusted the colors a bit with a selective color filter and adjusted the dark, middle and light values with a levels filter.Hopefully that makes some sense, but here's the photoshop file too. Play around with it and see what affects what. That's how I've learnt most stuff with Photoshop.https://ufile.io/dfvbd7qd
Going so long between threads does help with retaining regulars>>8142034This interesting, not many artists depict berry girls being so taught they basically don't smoosh into each other when stacked like this. Imagining the pressure they must be under to not deform like this is actually has it's own unique hotness.
>>8142034>>8145487If they’re actually turned into tennis ball-sized blueberries rather than multi-ton 12-foot sloshy masses, then I guess the lack of body mass can help them just become extra-taught firm little spheres ready to burst…
>there's a very high probability 3dpd's lurkI hate you.
>>8147456Wut? I think you posted in the wrong thread.
>>8144867Not entirely sure what all that means or how that process goes... but thanks for sharing!I do use a bit of digital assistance for my work, but it tends to be for the most rudimentary of applications, like picking colors, getting measurements down to the pixel, and sometimes stitching two images together, as my scanner was meant only for 11" x 8.5" sheets of paper, but I draw on 12" x 9", so sometimes I have to scan the picture twice and fuse the two together, like with the picture of Chiaki and Ibuki.Also, I use Gimp, not Photoshop. I don't need that many bells and whistles for my software, since I don't use it for painting, and Gimp has a distinct price advantage of being free.>some of the blue was darker than the blackWhat? How?Speaking of the Danganronpa picture, the more saturated colors of your edit look nice and juicy, but it defeats the purpose of what I was trying to accomplish with the original colors a little. One of the things I LOVE doing for blueberry inflation is making the girls turn a color of blue taken from their default color palette, both as a way of insinuating that getting turned into a blueberry effects each girl differently (gives an excuse to turn all of them into berries, to see what the gum will do to them ;) ), and to make each girl's transformation more personable to her. I did this for the picture of Hilda and all the BlazBlueberry girls except for Litchi, who doesn't have so much as a single pixel of blue on her (so I colored her China Blue, for the memes). For Ibuki, I tried to make her turn the same color as the blue streaks in her hair, and Chiaki being the same color was meant to symbolize their newfound kinship as blueberries together. The slate gray pencil I used isn't a perfect match to Ibuki's hair highlights, but it's meant to help indicate how damn bright the lights on them are, and the glow sticks add more color variety in the original than in the editStill, not bad. I've downloaded both edits. Thanks!
>>8147456lol wutWhat the actual fuck are you going on about? Who was this meant to be in response to? Are you lost? Did you forget to take your meds again?
>>8147456is this true? can anybody confirm?
>>8151510It isn't, anon is bullshitting.
>>8157284OP should have specified "No men pretending to be women" too.
>>8157327Shhh. Don't cry now, the big bad illustration can't hurt you.
>>8157386Trying to sound as condescending as a woman isn't going to magically turn you into one.
lol
I need pics of berry girls clearly getting off/enjoying it. There's too many pictures of them being scared or confused.
>>8159659
>>8150531Krita's also open source (free) and it's really similar to photoshop. There's a few things they can each do that the other can't, but Krita can open photoshop files.Some of the black was graying out and not very saturated, making the value of the really dark blues lower. Either way, black should be the most dominant dark value unless you're working with a limited palette. Otherwise, it tends to make everything a bit bleached. Maybe you could try adding saturated colors to the blacks, like dark blue or purple, if you don't want to adjust it after scanning. It would help the detail come out.
>>8163301Thanks for the tip on Krita. I wasn't aware it could open Photoshop files, but that certainly does explain why it' so popular.For shading, I typically prefer to use a darker shade of a color (like with >>8141741, where I used violet-blue for Arezu's base color, then ultramarine, indigo, and violet for her shadow) before reaching for the black pencil, using that for only the most extreme of shaded areas, like in between Noel's gigantic breasts in >>8141752. Even then, black is usually the last color I layer onto a picture, so the graphite can blend with the colors already there to try and make the shadows look more natural.As for brightness and color adjustment, I think there's some sort of fucked up issue with my scanner not properly translating colors as they appear in real life into a digital format. For example, Carmine's belly in >>8141815 was meant to have a purple blush to it, like 05 Violet, but my fucking scanner muted the violets and put to much emphasis on the blues and reds. It has a tendency to do that, and it pisses me off, because I don't know if the scanner is just bad, or if I'm supposed to do something to adjust the levels that I just don't know how to do because I'm technologically retarded.Here's another example. The linked picture is something I made to both practice my colors and the amorphous shape of burbling fluid in preparation for drawing Warden Blueberrezu. The blueberry was meant to have much more violet on her body and her juice a much darker tuscan red, but my scanner muted the violet and saturated the red too much, which often leads people to the egregious misconception of the juice being blood.
>>8163301>>8163597And here's a crude picture I took with my phone of the paper the picture was drawn on next to a scanned version of it. I've gone as far as to hypothesize that violet is too high of a frequency for my shitty scanner to properly pick up, but I'm also not going to dismiss the possibility that I'm an inept idiot and I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.But that's the point of bringing up shit like this, right? So it can be fixed.So, what am I doing wrong?
So, has this thread been restored from its arbitrary archive state?
>>8172956appears so so now theres 2 threads
>>8158523I like that you can tell her ass is totally exposed. Not like she can even see back these, anyway
>>8175054She's got panties on, dude.
>>8157386I love how sunken in her head is. Poor thing is totally oblivious to everything happening around her
>>8174467I guess?So what do we do now? Just post to both threads in case one goes down? Is there going to be a difference between the two, like is the other going to allow pics of male inflation and AI generated images while this one doesn't?I'm fine with keeping both active, but there should probably be distinct differences between the two in order to justify their existence and incentivize going to both or sticking to one based upon unique content and/or personal preference.
>>8159659So, did you miss the almost a dozen pictures posted by the OP at the beginning of the thread? :/Aside from Hungry Lurker, there's SomeoneInflative/Sinflative. Occassionaly dabbles in furry and sometimes male inflation, but horny berries are his entire shtick. I don't think there's a single berry illustration he's made that wasn't of a berry getting their rocks off harder than they have to anything in their life.Flative's work is heavily inspired by NSFWLK, originally Plasma Snake, who doesn't do male but draws more furry. He's almost single-handedly responsible for popularizing the term "fuck-blimp." Only uploads to that shit hole site Twitter, though.To a lesser extent, almost all of CutiePopBlue's stuff is "girls loving it" or "girls struggling with the realization/trying not to let on that they love it." She's bi though, so she does occasionally draw dudes.
>>8177590Sure would be nice if Frankie Loompah could just stop adding dialogue to his pieces.
>>8159659I want the inverse of this. I wanna see blueberry girls that are TERRIFIED of the whole situation.
>>8176349Speaking of Sinflative, has anyone else here seen the first part of his DDLC project? It's a REAL slow burn, but that makes the build-up to and the climax itself all the more potent.Also a rare gem of blueberry inflation where the story is actually fairly good. It's just as likely to make you go "Aww..." as it is to make you blow a hole through your computer desk.Voice acting is pretty good all the way through,. Coffe Cake Demon does a lot of the heavy lifting, and though their parts are smaller, Admiral Trina as Monika and and Erichi Bunny as Sayori are well cast, but Goth Berry steals the show as tsundere Natsuki, especially at the end; she REALLY sells the "so fucking stimulated she can barely form coherent thoughts" angle.Definitely check it out if you've got a spare 75 minutes.
>>8179634You know, every time I think to myself "Maybe Franky Loompah isn't THAT bad," all I have do to disabuse myself of that foolish notion is look through his Twitter.It's not just the cringe dialogue that's almost as one-dimensionally sex obsessed as Vivziepop, it's that probably at least half of all his pictures are that stupid fucking selfie format, where the girl's profile picture is always just a lazy-ass copy/past of her in the picture. It gives off the feeling that the most he's ever interacted with women is by lurking the social media accounts of cam whores and Twitch thots, and he's come to think this is how women naturally act.And holy fuck, that's before you even get into his odious politics. Supporter of socialist, black supremacist, Democrat Party terrorist group, BLM, troon ally, PRONOUNS IN HIS FUCKING BIO, and in a sardonically funny way, when he's not virtue signaling the latest nu commie craze, all his tweets about his personal life boil down to: "But I'm so woke! Why am I still so lonely and miserable?! :'("Franky is one of the most terminally online losers in inflation fetishism.
>>8163597>>8163609Honestly it could be any number of issues. What kind of scanner is it? It might have the option to calibrate it, or different scan settings for different media.In pretty much any field, transferring or matching physical color to digital color is still a major headache, since you're dealing with two different color systems. So it's not necessarily you. I don't suppose you have access to any color chips like pantone or something similar? That would be a pretty big help.
>>8181622I have an Epson "Perfection" (false advertising, there) V39. The scan software does allow for some adjustments of the historgrams, and I've managed to find slightly better results by min-maxing the output, but I can't fux a problem when I don't know what the fuck I'm doing, let along what I'm doing wrong other than I know I'm doing wrong.I do actually make swatches for the colored pencils I have, and I'll frequently use the color picker tool to assist in replicating hues, like for how I made each of the girls in the BlazBlueberry series (except Litchi) have turned a color predominantly featured in their default palette. But even then, the sketch paper I practice on and the colored pencil paper I do most of my posted work on have a different color to them, so that just adds another layer of shit I have to deal with.
>>8182839mulberry is the juice color. Neat.
>>8186174Actually, it's closer to Tuscan red, mixed with purple, and the more of it there is pooled, the darker it should be. Linked picture for example.You can use mulberry, but it's probably best to add some blue or violet.
