i love how for a series with an almost completely non-male cast of characters splatoon feels so chill about gender presentation
callie is "the pink one" with long hair and an upbeat but sweet personality yet she wears shorts and pants almost all the time. pearl is loud and opinionated and aggressive but she wears dresses and her signature color is pink, and that's chill. marina is the more "traditionally feminine" one and she's kind and sweet and soft, but she's a genius who accelerated through school and she's an engineer who works with machines and builds weapons, and she wears shorts and pants and a pantsuit, and that's just who she is. shiver... whatever shiver has going on. even ignoring the pronoun confusion surrounding deep cut's reveal, i definitely agree that they just have. something androgynous going on with them, even though they seem very feminine-presenting. even fem eight, they have a crop top and a miniskirt and heels in octo expansion, but they also get to wear a jumpsuit in side order, along with of course rocking the single earring, which even masc eight gets to keep. and of course, acht - even though they're "the non-binary character", they still wear a dress! they still have earrings! they still have long hair! they don't have to be masculine to be non-binary - they still get to present traditionally feminine, and it doesn't cancel out their identity at all!
man. i love this game and this series so much. no wonder it attracts such a queer fandom lol
eight HAS to be famous in universe like. off the hook are so famous they're doing a world tour. marina's dev diaries are written like blog posts, and they're attached to her username - "DJ_Hyperfresh" - so it looks like they're definitely public??? and marina talks about eight on there SO MUCH. there's even AT LEAST one picture of them (last diary dev entry), even if it doesn't show their face. like. if nothing else there have got to be HORDES of off the hook fans out there desperate to know who this "eight" is and how they somehow became off the hook's closest friend
what am i even supposed to say about this. they're literally WIVES. YOUR HONOR THEY ARE MARRIED
happy international lesbian octopus day to all who celebrate. have an atlas doodle from like a month ago that i never posted
just realized i never posted my last couple of artfight attacks whoops!! here's one i made for @papersnatch of his oc B.M. :)
im gonna be real with yall ive been playing so much pikmin lately that my first thought when the trailer started was "is that a fucking onion"
ALL THE ART FROM MY CHARACTER DESIGN FINAL FROM THIS SUMMER!!!
our final assignment was to create a full pitch for an original story, so I decided to go with the huge storyline that happens roughly halfway between Splatoon 2/3 in my universe!! :)
I ended up with a line-up of the cast (...minus Tartar), a turnaround and expression sheet for V, and a little cover art for the first page of my presentation. the outfits are DEFINITELY not final (except for Neri's, bc I'd already designed it, lol) bc I was doing all this on a huge time crunch and I did NOT have the time to figure out a decent timeskip "agent outfit" for all 3 of the others. and when I say time crunch I mean to the point where I used a 5-month-old sketch of Aukai because I didn't think I'd have time to draw a whole new one. help
I'm really happy with how they all turned out though!!! you can see them all hung up for finals day here :D
