April 2023 Sketches 17 - Ringabel (Bravely Defuault) (Patreon)

Here's a picture featuring Ringabel from Bravely Default. The idea was suggested by Robin Hafner.

"Ringabel messing around with the Asterisks. In particular, the Thief Asterisk to let him steal food and strength from every monster he encounters, until his stats are so high he's a huge hulk."

After sneaking out of the Inn while the rest of the party is sleeping...and after some failed attempts at flirting, Ringabel decides to wander out of town, and might as well give his newfound asterisk to practice, the Thief Asterisk.

The extra speed and nimbleness definetly made it easy to deal with the monsters the wandered the night, but he could do with some extra strenght... Lucky for him, as he leveled up his Job Level, he unlocked an ability that steals enemy stats!

It was just what he needed, he already had the speed, and now that he was able to drain away the strength of the enemy, he's finally able to balance things out with his stats...his lose clothes feeling a lil tighter for some reason.

A strange effect that this ability had is, that the stats changed permanently, no matter if the battle finished or not...not that he was going to complain tho. His clothes became tighter and tighter, and his exposed torso revealed more and more with each battler...his pillowy pecs being at full display eventually.

He was having too much of a winning streak to stop! And to make it even more tempting to continue...a new ability unlocks! This one lets him power up by consuming the consumable items he steals from enemies! And about time, all this excercises was definetly working up an appetite. Now, not only he grew bigger after each battle, now he was able to have a nice victory snack with the stolen food from enemies...bulking him up even further...in all sense of the word, not only his muscles expanding, but his belly bloating up and up more.

...And yet, then ANOTHER skill unlocked! This one was a pretty beefy one, not only gave him seemingly no limit to wear accessories, but ANY kind of accessory gave him additional strength, and ANY kind of stolen or found treasure would add even more strength based on their rarity!

And there was a nice, big dungeon nearby...seems like the night is young for big Ringabel, and he's gonna be doing some fighting and treasure hunting all night!

On the next morning, the rest of the party were greeted by a MASSIVE Ringabel right in fron of the in, who, besides being a hulking beast, was sporting many pretty accessories on him...Seems like he was pretty busy last night~
