I was sorta mixed on this request at first, but the more I worked on it, the more I started to really like it, and now it’s finished! Here’s Barsikcat98’s fursona, Barsik, inflated! And rather than doing the usual circular/ovular shape like I usually do with my inflation art, I decided to go for a different shape without it this time, and while it’s probably not as great as I wanted it to be, the shape turned out really good here! In fact, I’m probably the most pleased with trying out this shape for this one, definitely makes me want to try it more often in the future, but for now though, I think this art piece I did for a request settled it good enough! As for the character, it looked quite basic at first, but I did find an art piece of Barsik’s OC inflated with hair on top, so I used that for reference. I also redesigned the character a bit, at least in terms of giving him a more unique tail. But yeah, this is definitely one of my favorite requests I finally got to finishing! And well, I dunno, perhaps I might do more art of Barsik considering how much I enjoyed drawing the character, but that’s just a thought.

Requested by Barsikcat98 on DA.
Update (3/18/2026): Barsik’s right ear has been drawn to look better and more consistent, shading has been added to the left ear as well as the pupils, and the shading is overall better and looks much more finished. I felt like improving it a few days later considering how much I loved making this request honestly, despite me declining or not doing them as often nowadays.
