It's All in The Details

It's the small details that seem to make any expansion fantasy worthwhile but those often tend to be overlooked. So, here's a partial list of some of my favorite details in any expansion scenario.

Clothing
Buttons stretching apart/popping off
Seams stretching/unravelling/splitting
Shirts rising up as bellies creep out
Wrinkles in cloth straightening out
Belts popping off
Shoes filling up and laces stretching
Words on clothing stretching

Structural
Pressing into objects
"Leaking" out of doors/windows/holes
Pushing objects aside as inflatee expands
Bursting out of enclosed areas (telephone booths, houses, cars, etc.)
Spreading out/smothering objects

Sounds
Stretching noises
Rubbery textural noises
Hollow bass-like noises
Hissing (especially echoing hissing)

Extras
Head compressing into body at larger sizes/pressures
Extremities "starfishing" as they expand
Cheeks blowing up
Blowing on thumb
Inhaling deeply
Visible "pressure problems"
