marlo and ness being themselves
[ #splatoon #artposting #ocsky ]
two inklings walking together. left, marlo: much taller, olive-skinned and heavyset, long hair cuffed near the end. they wear a dark blue shirt trimmed in gold and a blankly confused face. right, ness: much shorter, black and lean, gold hair cut in a bob. he wears a pink honeycomb shirt over a black hoodie, talking back at marlo intently. he says, "however, since the introduction of gen 7, flareon is no longer the only fully evolved fire type that can learn solar beam." both designs use spot color from the other.

similar drawing from above, but from 2020. the character's skinnier and prettier, frowning incredulously, the style more anime-like. another similar drawing, from 2019. the character's much skinnier and less detailed, the art more amateurish.

If you got this far, shares are super appreciated 💜💚
WHAT’S NEW, PLAYER?! What have you gotten up to in the game recently? Show us your current gear, illustrate the modes you're playing, or draw a new (or current fav) oc! AMIIBO: Draw your fav amiibo kid or someone else in your fav amiibo gear! CAPTAIN & NEO 3: Put some more 3s into the world and show off Captain and/or Neo however you like! Custom designs, just looking dramatic, bouncing off each other's personalities, illustrating their relationship…go for it! OCTO VALLEY: Draw something related to the original singleplayer setting! This can be the stages (underground in the domes) or the general hubworld! THE MECHANIC: Show us the mundane side of weapons…or draw the new player character from Splatoon Raiders! Weapons require maintenance, special hardware needs polishing, someone has to do all that set up at Ammo Knights...show off what you think that looks like! POST IN THE PLAZA: Doodle on your switch and post it in the plaza including the hashtag #Splatober2025! Or just make something with a binary pen in black & white! OCTO CANYON: Draw something related to the singleplayer setting in Splatoon 2! This can be the stages (underground in the domes) or the general hubworld! WORLD OCTOPUS DAY: GIVE THOSE OCTARIANS SOME LOVE! Non-octoling Octarians are encouraged but not required! VICTORY POSE: What's your fav victory emote, or which one does an oc use? Draw it…or maybe even a fistbump! LOCKER ROOM: Every inkfish has to stash their stuff when they're not playing turf—what's your downtime look like? Show us what's in your locker or what you get up to when you're waiting for a match to start! FAV IDOL: Simple as it seems; show off your fav idol in your style! CUSTOM SPLATFEST: What kind of Splatfest theme would you want to battle out in the game? Draw up some announcement art for it! COLOR PULSE: Splatoon thrives on color in all its variance and vibrancy, so get crazy with it! Switch up some characters' ink colors, use a palette challenge, or even try out some new brushes, mediums, or techniques. Make it the centerpiece! DEEPSEA METRO: Draw something related to the singleplayer setting of Octo Expansion! This can be the test facilities, other locations in Kamabo Co., or the train itself! SANITIZATION/MAMMALIFICATION: Point the spotlight at a sanitized or mammalified character…draw an existing one, or redesign another! FAV TUNES: The world of music in Splatoon is big, bright, and prominent. Give us a glimpse into your favorite corners of it and draw something inspired by your fav track or splatband—or make up your own custom band! SPECIAL READY! : What it says on the tin…draw a special weapon from any game! FAV WEAPON: Draw your main or a weapon you just find really stylish! SELF INSERT/SONA: What kind of sea creature are YOU? Design a splatoonified version of yourself! 10 YEARS LATER: 2025 marks Splatoon's 10th anniversary. A lot of time has passed & things have changed since our first introduction to the turf war scene…where were you, or your ocs, 10 years ago? What would you or they say to a 10 years younger self? Use this prompt to explore a past (or future!) version of yourself or a character and capture a snapshot of a different moment in time. SWAP: Species swap, role swap, body swap, color swap—any sort of switch-up you think would be interesting, draw it! WATER: Lots of folks have different ideas of what water means to inkfish…(almost) instant death, fun in the sun, or even something worth deifying. Illustrate some way you imagine inkfish dealing with water—maybe they've found particular ways of bathing, or maybe they're just big fans of Mahi-Mahi Resort. The ocean's your limit! FAV SEASON: Beyond Splatoween, Splatoon also hosts a fest for spring, summer, and winter each. Which one's your fav? Make something seasonal, whether that's a new outfit, a palette inspired by the theme colors, a slice of life moment based on the weather…anything! ORDER SECTOR: Draw something related to the singleplayer setting of Side Order! This can be the stages (inside the test facilities) or the general hubworld! LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! : Stages, plazas, apartments, oh my! Show off a location in the Splatoon universe you like—a fav stage, a character's living space…fit in some sightseeing! TEAM: Splatoon is a multiplayer game…so champion that community! Celebrate a Splatfest team you're still super loyal to, or borrow some friends' inkfish and draw them for a surprise! ON THE CLOCK: Give us a glimpse into the working life of inkfish, be it at Grizzco or anywhere else they find themselves at work! Some of us are rock stars, some of us stock shelves…and some of us get jammed into slopsuits. WEAPON BASED OUTFIT: Make up an outfit based on a weapon! Using canon gear can be a fun challenge, but won't be required—design something based on abilities, from scratch, or even a weapon gijinka! SALMONID FIELD GUIDE: Draw something related to the salmonid! This can be the stages, an oc, ideas about their society, a fav Known Occurrence or boss…or just an excuse to show off Little Buddy! STICKERS: Design some stickers, like the ones in the catalogues & gacha, yourself! If given the chance to make a sticker page based on a character or some other part of the game, what would you put on it? SPLATOWEEN: Get out there and GET SPOOKY!

if it is of help to anyone: answer outline as to why i wouldn't choose to pick up a digital download in a retail store
Regardless of method of acquisition, all digital downloads are temporary and may be lost upon the loss of a console or its data (through physical breakage, corruption, etc.) I have no interest in paying for the same game twice, especially if it became inaccessible for reasons outside of my control. Therefore, it is enormously redundant and a waste of time to acquire a one-time digital download in a physical location. I do not understand any advantages to this method.

i'll bite
for someone so infatuated w mythology + fascinated w villains you think i'd get those 2 slots.. but having really particular opinions on myth & writing a lot of mundane characters will do that to you 💔
OC bingo card as described in the quoted post, filled out. Only 5 slots are blank ("Gave away OC for free, Religion or Mythology based OCs, More villainous OCs than good, First OC came from a fandom, 30+ OCs") but there are only 2 bingoes.

i went back to college this year o7 (& have very little to say about my output or growth...)
12 panels of art from the months of 2024, the first seven featuring character art and the last five blank
December 26, 2024 at 7:41 PM
giomagnetism.bsky.social
commentary in the img this time! a lot of repeated sentiments from the last: wish i'd drawn more, but i like the direction i've taken, altogether pretty fulfilling.
12 thumbnails with commentary under each, one per month. two months are missing art, the rest feature character art. commentary says: "January: I primarily went into this year psyched to draw Shiloh and Spencer! Did not finish everything I had planned for them but this work is my favorite." shiloh's face is pressed close to spencer's; he looks surprised while she's somber. it has a warm orange-purple palette. "February: Drew a lot of things this month I still cannot post lol. Had fun with experimenting, especially scene setting and lighting." "March: Out of town for half of it. I started doodling a lot. Set a tone for the rest of the year." "April: Around the time I got proper familiar with drawing Shiloh and Spencer. Very proud of the posing work I did this year!" "May: Vacation and reference-making. Noticed a shift in style, a loosening adherence to staying on model. I'm very fond of the effect." "June: Vacation and ref-making... 2! Brought an old OC back to life; banner year for creative revitalization and re-inspiration." "July: ART FIGHT! Did not make half as much as I wanted to. Benchmark for how much faster and experimental I got, though." "August: Hard time IRL and recovering from July. Did manage to continue scene experimentation." "September: Weird month in terms of emotion and output. Out of town again. Likewise did an ungodly amount of doodling." "October: Brutal amount of coursework (surprised I finished anything)." "November: No art. Hit a burnout threshold and also got a boyfriend lol." "December: Boyfriend month. I often slow down at the end of the year, so here is hoping we pick up in 2024!"
