Splatoon References

[splatreference]

Welcome to Splat Reference!

This is a resource archive for Splatoon references that you always need and never have on hand. The blog focuses on documenting stages, details, backgrounds and surroundings of stages and parts of the world, and weapon poses. The focus of the blog is to be a reference for artists to streamline the process of making Splatoon art!

No longer actively updated. Might have occasional haunted ghost posts apparently though.

References are from every game in the series and will be added over time, with Splatoon 3 having the most comprehensive documentation due to being the easiest to work with. Viewer submissions are also welcomed through the ask box!

This blog will not be including gear references or character references, as those are things readily available on the Internet in many cases, including model turnarounds. You will find most of these things documented on Inkipedia, for example. Other than that, suggestions are welcomed!

I hope everyone can find a use out of the blog!

Introducing splatoonlore.ink!

splatoonlore.ink is a website containing all the info on Splatoon's lore there is, from the in-game Sunken Scrolls to obscure info hidden in barely accessible media, after more than two years of development the website is finally launching!

You can check it out right now: splatoonlore.ink

This website is being developed by @ardnin

I've been watching ardnin work on this for the past 2 years and it's finally here. Possibly all the splatoon lore you could ever need to know, in a clean and accessible format. It's hard to express just how inkredible of a resource this is, check it out!

[splatreference]

Periodical reminder that if there's photos on this blog that you regularly or consistently need, consider saving them for yourself

[splatreference]

Just so you guys know, i say this because i'm not really planning on maintaining this page going forward and this site is making it really hard to stay on here. So don't take it as a suggestion but ACTUALLY save some stuff if you come here to get references for the same things frequently!

I have returned! I got 31 questions wrong (give or take, I only started counting after question 8)

I should've done a full serious marathon before attempting this for better results. Did I get a good grade in autism.

That's pretty good all things considered i'd say.

btw those splatsville hub posts i've apparently posted a few days ago? I did Not post those. i was wondering where and why people dug those up for when they started getting notes and didnt look any deeper into it. Turns out it's because I, allegedly, posted those. I DID NOT POST THOSE. I haven't posted, drafted or queued original posts for like, this entire year so far I think. I've definitely MADE those posts, but i have no earthly idea where the fuck they came from. My queue is empty. Literally my only explanation is that these are some of the posts I queued back before i knew that exceeding the daily image post limit just makes the tumblr queue completely nuke any posts with images that it would've tried to post within the time that you're restricted (so, 2 years ago), and they've magically come back to life. I'm dealing with some kind of post ghost over here

[splatreference]

I have heard you have a splatoong geoguesser type quiz. I shall return with my results... my autism is being tested

👍

just hit 100k on the water video! wahoo! this is the video that im the most proud of and one that spent the longest time in production (i conceived the idea to make this video a couple months after starting my channel, in 2021).

i may be biased (yes) but i think this is a splatoon lore must-watch

NOTE: Several characters are referred to with they/them. This is due to how Japanese is written, it's easy for pronouns and gendered terms to be omitted. This does not mean these characters are "canonically nonbinary.” The exceptions to this are Orion and Acht, who both use they/them pronouns in English.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was on the wiki/somewhere else at this point, but is there a way to see the Splatoon world texture from story mode? Mostly asking because Discord links expire so hard to see cool maps with expired links. No rush in answering just something I noticed while looking through the lore pile.

god i miss when discord links didnt expire. thanks for the heads up, i've updated the links in the lore doc to ones that shouldnt expire anytime soon

hi! i was wondering, do you have a tag for alterna's stages/levels? i really like the backdrops for them. alterna doesn't seem to be listed on the splatrefs directory 2 for the world (but the crater is). if this is something you don't cover, that's also fine, but i thought it'd be worth asking!

I don't think I have one on account of not having covered those yet. I'm still undecided on covering the individual singleplayer levels, considering that would require playing through all the modes with a capture card, then going through all the footage to save references that very few people are going to need, doubly due to the abstractness of all the singleplayer levels making it so that they're not really plausible world reference to begin with. So at least for the time being I don't have the stages, but they might come in the far future if I feel like it.
