#splatoon oc poll

[conkreetmonkey]

Let's build a Splatoon OC!

Due to the unexpected last-minute tie between Octarian and Salmonid, today's poll will be a tiebreaker!

I had a salmonid-based poll all ready to go, but it seems you maniacs had other plans. This poll will only be up for 24 hours! Choose wisely!

guess who finished talia’s ref/propaganda post!

talia is one of my oldest splat ocs (both in creation age [july 2016] and character age at 24) and honestly not much has changed about his design since i made her! the main difference is literally just some fun new piercings and a lgbt pass

@splatoonpolls :]

talia is 5’10” and the middle child in his family! he has one older sister (taller still, a firefighter named moselle) and one younger sister (ren, new ranked battler) and they all come from calamari county where they were primarily raised by their mother :]

he moved to inkopolis at 15 to get into turf + to try to meet the squid sisters since they’re from the same area! there, he met peri, and they became roommates for about a year before they started dating

talia is highly money motivated mostly because she wants to make sure ren and her mother especially can live an easy life. she also wants to do something good with her life like moselle, who she looks up to as a hero.

sooo after a couple of years turfing with peri (an e-liter main) and working part time at the crust bucket, grizzco opened and the two decided to check it out!

turns out they’re very good at it + get paid very well as a result so that quickly becomes their priority and are very consistently ranked at profreshional

talia believes he’s doing something good to help out both mr. grizz and inkadia so he’s happy

after a while, grizzco’s splatlands branch opened and the two were forcibly relocated invited to move to the splatlands to help out with egg retrieval and training, and subsequently hit eggsecutive vp with victoria and fiorello in their now complete quad

talia knows jacinthe (my agent 3) but at the moment he does not know anything about the true nature of grizzco.

talia is a very trusting person and will typically take whats in front of him at face value. as mentioned before, she’s very tall and is pretty loud/high energy, so can be unintentionally overbearing when meeting new people. he also has the worst name memory ever so will typically nickname everyone he meets to something he can easily remember (peri is a nickname! jury’s out if he remembers her actual name) such as eggs for victoria and safety for fiorello. however, talia is very afraid of being perceived as a rude person, so tries very hard to be seen as the opposite, typically with gifts. can be unexpectedly emotional—cried over clam mochi being different when homesick, whenever big man loses, etc

her favorite idol in the splatlands is big man because she feels like she relates the best to him (and often feels sorry for him). his favorite splatbands are diss pair and front roe, but feels no connection to squid squad.

splatfest wise, he will consider his favorite idol’s alignment first before his own preferences. ex. he’s terrified of ghosts but likely will be on big man’s team for splatoween

in my imagination, his tentacles are box braids in human form :]

splashtag maker 👍🏽

SPLATOON OC TOURNEY QUARTERFINALS PART 1

Muffin by @demi-s-fucked-up-dog vs Trito by @toldentops

PROPAGANDA/BACKSTORY

MUFFIN

Inkling born at the Square who's recently moved to Splatsville, she earned the money to move there in ways she's not really proud to admit, usually keeping it hidden from even some closer friends

also twitter thread i found after searching up myself on twitter.com

TRITO

World's silliest bloblobber main. Sounds like a new yorker. Used to be in the octarian army and got selected by Kamabo Co. to be a test subject. An accident from a malfunctioning machine and nearly getting sanitized due to it leaves him with a really nasty chest scar. Hides out in the deepsea metro until Agent 8 dismantles the whole thing. Goes to live on the surface, plays Anarchy with his team and pretends none of that stuff ever happened. Never seen without a shirt on to cover up the scar. "Fuggetaboutit"

i’ll draw this if it gets above 400 votes

[lumilamp]

Ok, I like polls and I don't know what to draw so yea

I'm probably going to do another poll for the specific character just fyi

[cephalopolls]

if it hasn't been done before what species is your splatsona poll?? eg. inkling, octoling, hybrid, salmonling, something completely different i cant be bothered thinking of right now

if they don't have a splatsona maybe just their favourite splatoon oc's species?

What a lovely suggestion Anon, thank you!

Please Reblog For a Bigger Sample Size!

[deltamb3r]

Gonna post it here too just in case

So... I've been kind of taking a longer hiatus from drawing and regain some mental stability by stepping out in my private reality. There have been some issies I'm having with keep making content for the cotl community and I wish to take a break from everything fandom and generally online related.

The ideas flow but I can't find myself with anything worthy enough of drawing, so I've decided to leave some of them for you to choose which one of these ideas makes you more curious.

More episodes here!

Should I reunite Somnus (my Captain) with Sangre (my Agent 8, or at least the true one 'cause Orion exists and she's also Agent 8)

For context, Somnus (featured on the left) and Sangre (featured on the right) fell in love with each other shortly before the events of Octo Expansion while fighting each other but then Sangre got captured by Kamabo Co. employees, wasted all her CQ points trying to beat Girl Power Station, and got a messed up sanitization and became the melting mass of ink she is now, stuck in Deepsea Metro looking for her Angel (Somnus). Somnus typically goes to Deepsea Metro once or twice a year to look for Sangre, hoping he'll find her one day.

Okay, now you guys have the context you need for this...

What will come of this poll if y'all want them back together? I'll make art of these two reuniting. Maybe a short story (emphasis on the maybe since I still gotta update all my toyhouse bios and I just finished writing Calamity Circus a few days ago).

Let's build a Splatoon OC! (pt 4)

By a surprisingly large margin, Octoling has won out! Now, it's time to choose the gender! (I'll try to include as many categories as possible. Some options will necessitate a follow-up poll due to the variety of sub-labels they could cover. The Splatoon community is Very Gendered so I'm going to do my best to reflect that in the options I provide here (pls correct me if I fuck up with the terminology or mechanics))

[chaosspelledwrong]

cephalopods being bros

the octoling belongs to @/NeroOfficial on deviantart

[violethursday]

You live as them from birth to death, there's no going back! Despite that, you have the ability to change up their story with the knowledge you have of them!

[flamingskull28]

Another Agent poll because they haunt my brain 24/7 for the heck of it

(this is not counting 8 cuz duh and assuming it's not Octoling Neo cuz duh)

please feel free to elaborate if it did

PROPAGANDA/BACKSTORY

BINGO

octoling who makes shitty midis and has the worst fashion sense in the splatlands :o]

PUMPKIN

He's a pro-rank turf war player who had to drop out after his mom's death - resulting in a steep decline in performance and attendance. Eventually he tried to get back into the swing of things by trying to steal equipment from Spyke. Doesn't work, he gets caught and is instead recruited to become Spyke's errand boy and bodyguard.
