HI sorry if this ask is coming out of nowhere,, but how do you make the inkopolis news edits? With pearl and marina, and callie n marie? They're really cool, and if you're up for sharing, thatd be epic!! :o
hey! sorry, i have no idea when you sent this ask, so this is probably a really late response but here u go:
(under the readmore because it got long)
i start really basic by finding the post or quote i want to make into an edit, and decide which idols i think it fits best with! (this usually ends up being off the hook because i see/am inspired by their dialogue most)
then i'll determine which expressions of theirs "fit" the quote, or if it goes with a splatfest for even more fun. (like x or x)
(a really good resource for expressions is quote pages on the splat wiki, like this one for urchin underpass, because they have the expressions each idol makes right next to the quote. you can use this to see what different expressions they make, as well as learn where to find each one)
that's right, the worst next step is finding the actual expressions/images. this was an arduous task until i knew how to do it, and built up a gallery of usable images--don't get discouraged. if i can, i'll use screenshots from the game itself, but if it's from splatoon 1, or a specific splatfest, or i'm looking for a specific expression then the best option imo is finding a youtube video of the news segments
this can be a little tricky, since not many people open up splatoon with the goal to watch the news. i recommend looking for a letsplay of the game (like ZackScottGames or @heroroller's series) or the specific stage release or splatfest.
then i play the video at .5 or .25 speed just before the expression i want, and screenshot just before the words appear. you'll probably want a couple more of when they've settled into their poses too. also, if you can: get some shots with the text in different places!
this is helpful when i get to the next part, editing. this is where i remove the in-game text, switch out the stage image for the default news pattern (or another stage, or a splatfest), and cut together the expressions i've chosen for each idol. for editing, photoshop's probably ideal, or photopea (the free in-browser version, just be sure to save!) but i use this really shitty free phone app, Photoshop Mix! (edit: it's apparently been taken down for being too free! photoleap looks to have similar functions but i obviously can't vouch for it. sorry!) this isn't ideal, because i have to edit the images on my phone and then send them to my computer for finishing and posting
once i have the image with the correct expressions and text removed, i send it to myself, download it to my laptop, and then use the built in Paint 3D for the edited text! it allows me to use fonts i've downloaded--this Splat 1 font and this for Splat 2. (if you care about nitty gritty, i use size 12 for splat 1 and size 14 for splat 2, though ellipses look best a higher size)
then, the rest is easy! i throw in the quote dialogue, agonize over line positioning for 20 mins, and save it over to tumblr where i agonize over a caption for about 5 more minutes, and post!
That ended up much longer and in-depth than I was expecting, but I hope it was either interesting or at least easy to follow along. I know others have made incorrect quote edits in the fandom, and it would be really cool to see images and memes like the ones I make, I find them really fun!
it may be alot, but im kinda wondering!! i can tell you mine aswell if you ask me,
Shooters: N-Zaps, Dualies (excluding the gloogas), and Aerospray PG
Rollers: Kensa Dynamo
Chargers: All of them (including bamboozlers, I just need a good kit. Reminder that I'm a charger main.)
Splatlings: Ballpoint
Brellas: Undercover Brellas
N-Zaps are relatively speedy, and have good coverage. Dualies are fast, and I like the dodge rolling feature. Aerosprays, while not good at combat, are speedy, have good coverage, and personally for me, get easy kills.
Kensa Dynamo is powerful, it's a weapon where you have to stay behind, but not too far. It's good at coverage, and good at getting kills. You can't go straight ahead into combat, but it is a heavy weapon. And to finish that off? It has a booyah bomb.
I'm a Charger main. I adapt to the chargers and I learn how to play each of them. For Gootubers you have to get up close to your enemy.
I like the Ballpoint Splatlings range, and how you can stop your shots and charge them back up.
With Undercover brellas you don't have to constantly press the fire button, while keeping up defense.
What would you do if Pearl from splatoon was in your room doorway at 2 am eating mayo straight from the container with a spoon while she was looking and waiting to ask you where the nearest walmart was
