This literally took my life away 😭💙
Finally finished this bundle of comms! Only took.... 7 months between school and more pressing projects.... but they were quite fun!
Char belongs to my bud @moon-meryl (with a little cameo of my char at the end)
I’ve realized every time I draw my inkling oc I forget the eye things. Imagine everytime you go in you’re art gallery (for me on procreate) you see a lovely piece of art THATS NOT PERFECT 💀
SEE
HOW
NOO
💀💀💀💀💀worst part is,,,, a lot of these are combined layers ,,,
I am very normal abt the Nautilus ( 47 is the best splatling in the game I don't make the rules and I don't like 79 as much just because of splashdown sorry not sorry)
as much as I love splatoon, It's so hard to draw the characters 😔
I wonder what I'm working on...
Shiver wins again.
(This is art from 2023 pls don't kill me I do love Shiver it was just a rough time to be a Big Man fan (or Frye fan for that matter))
Non-blur version under the cut :3
does anyone have splatoon x jjba art, i need serotonin
Why does no one talk about the fact that side order completely ruined Marina and Pearl as a duo??
In the Octo expansion, they’re seen as a duo who banter for fun but still deeply care for each other. This is seen in both the DLC chat logs and the news, where Marina often makes fun of Pearl for either her size or not being able to do tricks with the Dualies, etc. Etc. Pearl does the same for Marina, just not so much and mostly acts like the punchline in the jokes— acting annoyed (although jokingly so).
They make fun of each other but are still close, which is supported by Pearl’s whole “fight” with Cap’n where she defends Marina and clearly states that if Cap’n came close to harming her, he would be the one getting hurt instead.
Or when Marina quite literally supported Order only because she was scared of losing the stability in her life— one of the main points of that stability being Pearl herself, and Marina almost crying on live TV because she thought Pearl wouldn’t want to be off the hook anymore.
There are a lot of factors that support pearlina in the story, and they were literally so well written personality wise in the second game.
Until the third game came along.
In side order, most of Pearl and Marina’s dialogues in the elevators consist or quite literally flirting with each other— of course, this is pretty much a big implication of Pearlina actually having some kind of canon confirmation, and that’s a huge step for the franchise!! However, it becomes annoying once the ship is overrepresentated.
Comparing the dialogues from octo expansion and side order, there’s a CLEAR difference. While in the first dlc, Marina and Pearl clearly cared about each other and still bantered in their own ways, they were each written to be their own character. Pearl and Marina had different world views, Marina’s being very impacted by Octoling society while Pearl was convinced octolings existed no longer. Not only that, but the whole Chaos V. order discourse in the second game.
In the third game, they’ve been dumbed down to “Pearl and Marina.”
It was obvious Marina’s views on order would change after the Splatocalypse, but didn’t Nintendo have a better way of demonstrating it than the choices taken in side order? Her and Pearl’s character have almost completely merged together— same views, always agreeing on everything, always flirting, etc.
I’m not saying the DLC was bad, although it kinda was. I just feel the need to point out that The whole playful off the hook dynamic that made it so obvious that they cared for each other has quite literally been dumbed down for shipping value and it makes me so sad to see, they were such good characters who got dumbed down for no reason as Nintendo (once again) pays more attention to the money.
Splatoon has so much heart
Really. Seeing the whole grand fest and Nintendo's wrap up video for all the splatfests just... oh my heart. Its so clear to me the team behind Splatoon loves this game. I had an absolute blast. I spent so much time playing the grand fest, I even called my mom about it. I rambled to her about the idols, how cool the tricolor stage was, I didn't even care who won I just enjoyed every moment of it.
She told me that was the happiest she'd heard me in a while.
Splatoon has so much lore, so many little details... I just love how much care was put into the series as a whole. It really beat the odds, too. It came out on the Wii U, and iirc Nintendo didn't expect it to grow that much. But it blew up into an amazing game series. Its one of my favorites of all time. And it just makes me so happy to see how deeply the Splatoon team and Nintendo care about it. I'm so happy I got to experience all of it.
