I finished making new gear for a hypothetical Agent 4 storymode!

(Text on the back of the hypothetical box): As the head of security of Project Memverse, Agent 4 has been tasked to track down the Octolings still on the loose in the Deepsea Metro! Together with a recently reformed C.Q. Cumber, they will have to explore behind the scenes of Kamabo Co. to find and secure the victims of sanitization!

Using the Caught Shot, Agent 4 will have to subdue the Octolings that are still under Tartar's hostile programing! After that, they will have to transport their quarry to the goal using Containment Tank! Said goal is the Memverse entry room, housed in a modified train car. The SeaCURE.ity gear set will help them stand up against the immense pressure; both of the responsibility on their shoulders and the offensive launched against them by what remains of Kamabo Co! And of course the literal pressure, as they travel deeper and deeper into unknown waters...

(design notes under the cut)

C.Q. Cumber: The last two story modes have had a companion I thought it would be cool to use C.Q. Cumber! (Did you know it’s not just one individual?) C.Q. is one of the only characters with dialogue not to return in Splatoon 3, and he looks throwable! So, l would maybe make him be a portable bounce-pad, who returns to you when you jump on him. You could also make him the thing used for Broken-Armor Jump, if that’s a mechanic you’d want to return. He is wearing the hat from a plush zapfish!

Containment Tank: Based on a coffee machine, since the Spawners in Splatoon 3 are based on expresso machines! The jug that contains the octoling “ghost” is also based on a snow globe, since Octavio was contained by one in Splatoon 1 and 2!

Caught Shot: Based on a retro coffee grinder, to fit in with the tank’s theme! (Like the Splatoon 3 Hero Shot was based on a 3D printer (the fully upgraded one has a filament reel) and there were 3D printed monuments in Alterna.) The name is a play on their task, catching octolings, and hotshot, since Agent 4 is rumored to be the strongest in the squidbreak splatoon, and it's apparently also the name of an alcoholic coffee drink (I don't drink coffee or alchohol, so I didn't know that). Also following the naming convention of single-player shooters; Hero Shot, Octo Shot and Order Shot.

Earmuggs: Did you know the handles of mugs are called ears? Now you do! I included a cup-handle motif by the ears, and the springy thing is inspired by the edge of coffee presses.

Baristanorak: This is based of a coffee barista look, with an apron! The reflectors on the green part is meant to mimic the straps. I also kept the collar the same as Agent 4's canon outfit, since I think it's a big part of why I like their design. The wrist sweatbands are there to tie into the texture of the socks, and cuz I thought It gives the outfit a more recognizable silhouette.

Step-it-cups: They're actually just Luminous Delta Straps with the branding removed, don't tell anyone! Well, I guess it is keeping in tradition, since Agent 4's canon jacket is super similar to the Olive Ski Jacket, which was present in Splat 1 (and my favorite gear in that game).

Once again, kind companions—time beckons. Let the curtains lift, and let it be done: return to Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded, and face the shadowed tyrant that waits beyond. Dare to strike, and try to break its dreadful reign.

Drew some characters in the Magnus Archives!

On the left is Mairi, Hero's sister, and on the right is Atticus with probably the best outfit I've ever drawn him in. I only figured out right after that he probably fits the desolation better but I'm not redrawing this

The pacing in this arc once the “idol training camp” starts in Book 5 is godawful. It crams way too much into one night, and there’s definitely room for a more gradual build-up to Epel’s huge blow up. After months of putting up with Vil's nonsense, Epel should’ve developed a thicker skin than that. After that, we jump straight to the beach scene, and then we time skip ahead several weeks to right before the competition. That is extremely rushed and a huge time gap.

Yep, that's book 5 for ya.

I'd add more to this, but I don't think we need any more extended rants about how book 5 is actually the worst of the game (barely squeaking past book 2).

Thank you for your take.

Hello!! It's FINALLY summer break and I'm back! This is a character for a project I've had in mind for quite some time now. She is still in her redesign phase, but this is basically her look.

Project-wise, I'll post more about the project I'm working on at a later date. Just know that it's going to be good!!

Hope y'all have a great day!!
