Toothpaste, Hoover, and Poprock having a very normal and conflict free Splatoween. This totally isn’t the result of poor planning or communication. @shellfire.bsky.social #splatoon #splatoonoc #halloween

Also yes when I talk about my flying squid characters I am also technically talking about Iota too except I’ve decided that Iota is actually excluded from all discussion due to her being Australian and I’ll be dragging her to hell myself after she dies

Very slight ref sheet tweaks for these three bc if I didn’t fix it now it would bother me forever. Literally just changing their face lineart color and being more specific about their species bc “flying squid” is incredibly vague. #splatoon #splatoonoc

Dosidicus gigas (the Humboldt squid) is very closely related to TP, Herm, and Lynn’s species, but since they don’t glide Iota doesn’t look like the other three. Fun fact: phylogenetically speaking, Iota is closer related to Toothpaste than she is her actual cousin (Herm).

Also yeah Lynn can glow bc they’re a luminous flying squid and shit. Iirc all 3 of these guys are technically bioluminescent but so are most squid species to some extent so who cares. I don’t know if this luminescence is too terribly relevant to anything, so it’s just an extra detail.

Tbh I want to redo Lynn’s ref really bad since it’s from January of this year. But I redo all my ref sheets at the same time and Lynn’s ref isn’t incorrect, the art is just old, so I will wait.

Alt designs for some of my Splatoon guys that don’t use airbrush gradients. I’ve been trying to eliminate them from all my characters’ designs. Here’s who’s who since I don’t really talk about these guys a lot: Leopard shark: Stetson Axolotl: Rami Salmonid (thymallus): Tracy #splatoon #splatoonoc

I need to stop bringing this up bc the more people I talk to the more people start trying to convince me to make it Stewart. It would be like really really funny though.

We are veering dangerously close to the possibility of Toothpaste the Character’s birth name being Stewart and I don’t like that

I also think the patterns that are on Lynn’s zipcaster’s upper arms, legs, and chest are actually present in their humanoid form as well, it’s just you don’t see it bc they’re wearing clothes over it I do not think TP has that chevron arrow pattern on her chest normally though

Baby Toothpaste doodles bc I can’t settle on a design for her. These were originally meant to be serious doodles but they just kinda became whatever #splatoon #splatoonoc
