This is from last year, the first splatoon piece of art I ever made I think? My style has changed so much since then, wowie.

Farah and a sea slug. I took some artistic liberties with the slug design. Yeah.

Farah opens the door and, with a courtly motion of her hand, invites you inside. "Come on in!" It's a... cat cafe, or, well, it's a cat-themed cafe. The place is tiny, just a single cozy room. It's a little dark, a little stuffy, and filled to the brim with the aroma of freshly ground coffee. The entire place is decorated with various cat paraphernalia from around the world; some of it looks pretty old, perhaps even of human origin. Several vibrant sea slugs lounge on various tables and chairs, each wearing a pair of cat ear headbands. They don't seem too bothered by your presence, and most of them continue napping. Except for one. This one seems braver and much more curious than the others; it brushes its green bristles against your shin and lets out a soft, gurgly purr. Farah immediately picks it up and hands it to you. "Here! Aren't they just the cutest?" She asks enthusiastically. She is, after all, sharing her most secret and beloved spot with… you!

Obligatory main OC or something idk

A smug little shit who really enjoys being a smug little shit. Vex has built his entire personality around being a charger player. At just 14 years old, he discovered a talent for quick aiming, and ever since, his ego has clung to these notorious guns and refuses to let go. And oh boy, he will make sure everyone knows how good he is. He takes immense pleasure in splatting opponents during a match and may even rub it in later in the locker room. However, not much is needed to break Vex's "edgy jerk with a big gun" facade. Another skilled charger on the opposing team or even just someone defiant enough not to fall for his intimidation tactics will do. Sometimes he just needs to be humbled. But behind all of the arrogance lies a sad Inkling whose only dream is to be loved unconditionally. It's tough to break through Vex's protective shell, but once someone manages to do that, they gain a loyal, loving ally.

It's Vex's roommate and technically his captain, Pod!

A stoic and polite Inkling with a penchant for dry humor. Currently an assistant manager at the Mahi-Mahi Resort. He has mastered the art of concealing his emotions, a skill that proves invaluable in his line of work. He even successfully fooled all his higher ups into believing he loves his job! But behind Pod's polite and composed demeanor lies a mischievous mind that thrives on analysis and a love for puzzles and mysteries. However, the most fascinating of puzzles and mysteries for Pod are the minds of others. He delights in figuring out what makes others tick and it's not unusual to find Pod provoking others, subtly testing his theories, and then recording his observations in his notes. Pod's also an aspiring inksports coach. Although he himself often lacks the time to play, during down-time at work he watches matches that go down at Mahi-Mahi Resort, making notes on strategies and players. So if you've played there, you definitely earned yourself a Pod note! Which you, unfortunately, will most likely never get to see.

My boy Vex, he is very angular this time.
