Who & what are your biggest artistic, visual & stylistic influences? And how does your own art reflect their inspiration???
ryoxxl:
This is a really nice Q and a great opportunity for me to gush over some of my artistic inspirations!
When I was a younger fur, my biggest inspirations (and really the first artists who inspired me to draw) were KitsuneZero (now drawing mostly as titsunekitsune) & Chalodillo, among a huge list of probably sadly long forgotten artists. The shapely curves, and discovery of fat art from the former… just was like wow. Furry awakening. I think it was their appealing womanly characters and cute expressions that really caught my attention.
Nowadays I have lots of artists I take inspo from. Here are just some examples!
**artistic & visuals:**
Goblinhordestudios - Their storytelling ability and how lovable and curvy their characters are is so damn appealing
Javanshir/Beiua - Sheer mastery of shading, curves, poses, expressions, anatomy, fat deposits and with some killer OCs. I can’t even hope to compare… EVER
Volkenfox - A hero of mine who’s managed to create so many amazing characters and publish their work on so many types of media and content. They’re like a TF god
Dufel - The artist who turned me on to MLP, made me a BBW Celestia worshipper and gifted us all Rarity S-tier waifu material. Holy B-jeezus can they draw pillowy fat
Inksplot - Their shading and colour are always something I draw inspo from, but it’s the shear HEFT and softness of the hyper fats they draw that is so damn good
**stylistic:**
Inkykitsune - Their cartoony energy, dynamism, SIZE of their cute-AF sona and poses are a complete joy to behold
Nekocrispy - I adore the softness, roundness and cute-but-sexy appeal of their characters that just beg to be touched, cuddled and squeezed
Aimbot-jones - I have tried to emulate how insanely beautiful their bottom-heavy characters are. Nobody can make a few expertly placed curvy lines and pixels look so damn sexy. Crazy skill
Silverfang725 - Their talent for lighting scenes and characters makes their painting-like style so unique and wonderful to look at
Vanillayote/Rain - The diversity of their artwork is so impressive, the way they convey their own story in their rapid sketch style has encouraged me a lot
… there are literally tons of other smaller artists I love. I owe them a lot as well. Please look after and support small artists (like me!)
I draw inspo from a whole ton of sources, but generally I lean toward a cute cartoony style with realistic and heavy-looking soft, wobbly fat. I love the way some of the artists above can seemingly combine a goddess BBW body with a friendly and expressive face with a ton of personality.

Big, bloated, blubbery bellies or big, bulging, bootylicious butts... Which are more tantalizing, enticing and exciting???
ryoxxl:
I am very bottom heavy irl so I am biased. I will endow anybody with an enormous dimply bootylicious butt. Cellulite is hot as hell. Saying that, I can't resist a blubbery, droopy soft belly and no matter how hard I try to draw a nice, well proportioned belly... they become huge protruding aprons of flab.
Voice on the Aether:
favorite animal to have people tf into?
ryoxxl:
This is TOUGH. Cow, pig or pachyderm (rhino, elephant) always speak to me especially because of the huge body contrast of, let's say, a skinny human female exploding in size and weight with a reassuringly overblown human distribution of body fat. Complete this TF with a cumbersome new bone structure and a nice long snoot or muzzle and wow. It helps that all these animals are grazers who can spend all day eating. It's an excuse to pile on the pounds that any feedee or gainer would want!
A lot of it comes down to the personality of original subject and perhaps what she/he kinda wishes to turn into. Similarly the tropes: big boobs == cow, insane gluttony == pig, brutish heaviness == rhino/elephant, and perhaps greed == dragon(ess) just feel so much fun to fuse with some of the darker, more repressed personality traits that animal transformation can often amplify.
It's subject to change, but at the moment I am very into rhino TF because it's been so rarely done and I feel like I'm carving out a niche a bit.

What are your thoughts and feelings regarding 'Slob-Kink' art, stories and scenarios? Are hoggish, belching, sweaty, stinky, greasy, gross, gassy, food-stained Fatties an added, personal turn-on for you?
ryoxxl:
Good question! As much as I'm happy to draw all of these alt kinks and slob scenarios, they don't necessarily turn me on. I am a bit squeamish and I like to keep things clean irl and I often get stimulated into drawing through a lot of self-insertion or personal fantasy. Whilst I may not draw sweat, gross, stinky and gassy elements in my personal art, I can definitely get behind belching, and food stains... like... that's just me right now. If your clothes don't have food stains on them after only one day of wearing them, you're not eating right!
Also, being into extreme fatness, maintaining health as it gets overtaken by kink urges, difficulty keeping clean etc. are certainly elements I like to explore and address in my kink drawings and art. There's something hot about having some pre-planning about turning into a blob handling the required fatty aftercare!
Voice on the Aether:
Does Suzie consciously consider himself to be a 'Gainer Feedee', acting upon a deliberate desire to grow fatter, as an end goal in itself? Or is she just more of a casual, shameless, self-indulgent, greedy, gluttonous hedonist, who simply adores food; while feeling utter indifferent to the fattening effect it's having on her waistline?
ryoxxl:
Since discovering feedism online Suzie has become a closet feedee, just waiting for the right environment or encouragement to balloon into a complete vixen butterball. Under the usual social pressure to stay thin, she tried for the longest time not to over indulge or give in to her deep urge to fatten up. Indeed, the desire to grow tremendously fat IS the drive. Suzie would love to wake up 400+ lbs and live life as a soft wobbly glutton.
Trying to repress these desires, she's been looking for an "excuse" to get fatter for the longest time. Like a lot of feedees, the backdrop of COVID would have been the perfect opportunity (and cover) to start gaining serious weight!
Since then, she's met new friends who are super into WG and feedism and she's increasingly allowing herself to indulge, lose control, pig out and let the pounds pile on. A bit of a feeder momma, she's been baking more, helping her friends fatten and generally giving in to the 24/7 feedism lifestyle.
For Suzie specifically, the combination of repressed sexual urges and untethering of her appetite has let her hedonism run rampant these last few months, indulging every calorific whim, losing all shame and enthralling herself in every new soft squishy pound of fat she's been accumulating on her body. It's been incredibly hot!
Voice on the Aether:
What kinda attitudes and emotions do you prefer Fatties to feel towards their own obesity, weight-gain and gluttony? Eg: shock, shame, embarrassment, frustration, anger, sadness, denial, obliviousness, pride, confidence, enthusiasm, excitement, arousal etc???
ryoxxl:
Based primarily on my own WG/fat fantasy predilections, I certainly prefer exploring excitement and arousal motivations and emotions in response to excessive weight gain! I think it's crazy hot when people go from being repelled and worried about getting fat before suddenly doing a 180 and getting incredibly turned on by letting go, enthusiastically exploding themselves in blubber and generally speed running obesity. The corruption element is sexy, especially if it's an accelerating trend from simply eating what you want to eventually chugging weight gain shakes or experimenting with feeding tubes or funnels. Oof yes!
Betwixt all that, some frustration, shame, shock and embarrassment is inevitable amidst all the changes, and there will always be some lamenting of how their own urges have got the better of them. Looking at your own ruined body you wonder what led you down a path of extreme weight gain with all its down sides, such as health issues, constantly replacing clothes, stuckage, the mean comments, becoming fetishized... before the latter simply becomes another dimension of naughty, dark pleasure and you're already hitting the ice cream again in giddy, kinky excitement. The cycle continues...
Voice on the Aether:
What are the most utterly unconstrained extremes of deliriously debauched obesity, gratuitous gluttony & wanton weight-gain that you've ever personally fantasized about, felt tempted to draw, or even envisioned indulging in yourself IRL???
ryoxxl:
OOoh, this is a hot question!
I am all for growing into a room-filling blob, literally shapeless, body starting to swallow my head as I become a quivering mass of gluttonous, unrecognisable flesh. All you'd be able to hear is the pneumatic chugging of the feeding machine and my groans. I generally find the funnel or tube feeding end-game WG scenarios incredibly erotic... giving in to a machine that's sole purpose is to turn you into a massive pile of fat with amazing efficiency. Mixing sex and fattening is also fun... and I'd love to be fed, funnelled, sucking hard or gorging out of a some trough while a feeder is ploughing their feedee from behind in a horny kink-fulfilled frenzy.
I haven't drawn blobs in a while, but some of the foxies I draw might enjoy the treatment!

Since Rhinos are legally blind, any shot at glasses piece with Rhinoko
ryoxxl:
Yes! It would be so cute to have her in glasses. Unrelated, but it’s also pretty amazing how “good” human eyes are compared to most animals! Office Rhinoko in a tight blouse and skirt wearing some glasses would be a fun concept 💜
Voice on the Aether:
How do you feel abt other expansion types like inflation or berry stuff
ryoxxl:
I do love the cartoony elements of inflation, with big *everything*, but I typically opt for soft, heavy fat whenever I pick up a pen for personal art. Would be very up for blueberry or inflation pieces for comm or trade work though!
Voice on the Aether:
how soft would rhinoko's fat face be?
ryoxxl:
Far softer than you'd think given her transformation. Her formerly human skin composition has roughly stayed the same, but it's a lot thicker in places and is obviously a nice rhino gray color now. The sheer amount of fat she's accumulated on herself means that her increased rhino musculature is completed caked in a soft, supple layer of blubber, and her face is no different. Her face is smooth, plump but much, much larger (and protruding!), and only a little rougher near her horns. So despite her huge growth and substantive changes to her overall body shape, she's actually quite snuggly, soft, with plenty of facial plumpness to squish. There's even a double chin under there, if you want to find it.
