FINALLY, INKTOBERTALE DAY 8: BIRDS NEST!!

The colours are slowly returning 👀

This one features the return of my interpretation of the Doodlesphere! With a new addition; paint waterfalls that taper off into sparkles :3.

It looks like somebody gathered clothing items from their loved ones to rest with!

I bet you can identify which item belongs to who ;3.

the G̸͔̈ű̸͍ą̷͌r̵̘̍d̸̳̒i̷̫͋a̵̬͝n̸̖̿ of Negativity

Finally he can change out of those old dirty sans clothes.

I tried my best to keep his general vibe and aesthetic while making him look the least like a Sans as possible (aside from the hood and pockets on his massive goopy coat).

Wanted to give him a bit more of a regal look. With the addition of a new crown design. (It’s separate from his old one)

So yeah this is just an overall redesign of him (that I’m gonna use to draw him going forward just in general) as well as his canon look in Splattertale

Hope you guys like it ;3

Inktobertale Day 4: Honey!

Featuring @hexcia‘s Ink variant, Hex!Ink!

During some RPs in the Ink Server™️ we came up with nicknames to differentiate between our two Ink’s, and we came up with Heart for ST! Ink and Bee for Hex!Ink!

And since bees make honey, well, this prompt basically drew itself :3

They’re having a sweet treat together :3

Fun detail: “Heart” wears a white heart pin (emblematic of his daughter’s soul <3) to differentiate himself around other Inks :3

[sketchingstars03]

Protection VS Destruction

A furiously protective father vs the killer of anomalies

Anomalies like… little Splatter?

Wait… is her soul… human?? But… she’s a monster…?

This truly is a central conflict for a story

Ink is by Comyet

Error is by loverofpiggies Aka Crayon Queen

and we all know who created Splatter by now I think ;3

Some further rambles under the cut 👀

Alrighty, so! As stated about this art shows one of if not The main conflict of Splattertale, with the reveal of our main antagonist, Error!

Because ofc no Ink-Centric story is complete without Error as an antagonistic force of SOME kind.

I kid, there are obviously options where he’s not lol.

But yeah. Also he’s not really a villain here he’s just, opposed to the protagonists. Which makes him an antagonist! Because he… wants to kill Ink’s kid for being a glitch… Okay maybe that’s a BIT villainous, but he’s just doing his job! It’s nothing personal… right Ink? Right… ?

Also I know Ink looks SUPER pissed off and protective here but I wanna make it clear he DOESN’T hate Error in this story. Has some.. complicated feelings about him (None of them romantic, Sorry-not-sorry ErrorInk fans, I’m just not into it), but none of them are Hatred. In fact he’s tried to befriend Error several times in the past! Though that can’t exactly work out now… (trying to hunt down someone’s kid to delete them for being a “mistake” kinda puts a damper on your potential friendship with them :/)

Splatter’s soul is indeed a human soul. How this is possible I will explain later, but for now just know that her creation isn’t exactly natural. It’s devoid of any trait, which is why it’s white like a monster soul, and has very low DETERMINATION for a soul of its type. Still way more than a monster soul can have, but low for a human’s.

Being a “freak of nature” like that has landed her quite on Error’s list of “Things to Destroy”

This drawing also features my personal interpretation of the Doodlesphere! I sorta combined the two canon versions, the Floating Islands and Buckets. The Splattertale-verse Doodlesphere is comprised of floating islands that hold deep lakes of paint as entry points into the respective AUs. Each island is decorated with items that represent the AU it leads to!

With this in mind, try and guess which AU is which ;3

…

okay I’m gonna give the answers anyway

We’ve got Underswap (specifically Star Sanses Blue’s underswap)

Underfell right behind Ink

XTale in the top right

Outertale in the distance near where XTale is

and Dreamtale on the bottom left!

The appearance of the island also reflects the state of the AU, hence why Xtale is cracked and leaking (because of its destruction), and why Dreamtale looks so dull. With its stump of a tree and unbalanced paint-lake (it used to be a beautiful mix of yellow and purple)

So yeah, I think that’s all I have to say abt this piece for now! Don’t worry I’m gonna elaborate on these little lore bits in time! This entire story rotates in my brain like it’s in a microwave on a daily basis lmao

Hope you like it! :3 (And thank you if you read this far!)

[sketchingstars03]

So I have this headcanon that the amount of tentacles Nightmare can summon is affected by how strong he is via Negativity

Like, in instances where negativity is potent he can summon a whole bunch but when there’s not a lot of negativity he can summon very few.

A doodle to illustrate what I mean:

I don’t post about this guy very often, if at all, but I thought I’d drop this lil HC here

since it may or may not be relevant to Splattertale Plot 👀 and it’s also just canon to the Splatterverse (splattertale multiverse) in general, as are all my UTMV headcanons 😎

So yeah :3

[sketchingstars03]

Another Uncle for Splatter?

No everyone your eyes do not deceive you, It’s Splattertale Cross!! With a, bit of an outfit change. He’s not super important or involved with the main plot, but he’s still present in Splatter’s life as another Uncle figure for her! (Blame Ink for that)

oh and XChara. They’re here too. (They refuse to be involved with/attached to Splatter but are forced to be around her anyway. Such is life when you share a soul)

Our favourite Oreo skeleton has had a bit of a different path in this multiverse than in his canon. I call it the “Cross Good Ending” or the “Cross Gets Therapy arc”. Because yes he (and Chara) does get therapy. As they currently stand the two of them are living in the Omega timeline, doing their best to process and move on from the horrors of Xtale (and their actions and unhealthy alliances they made after the fact cough cough Nightmare’s gang). While not a member of the Star Sanses by any means, Cross is still an ally to and good friends with them. Especially Ink and Dream.

His hack knife is now combined with those bone(?)-dagger things he’s got, with the function of both combined and intact. It can split into two smaller versions of itself and recombine as needed.

So yeah! This is a bit of a random and sudden post but I felt like giving the guy an outfit upgrade to suit his current situation in my story, and you guys get some lore out if it too!

Hope u like :3

Do ST Nightmare’s tendrils emote like a animal’s tail? Wagging, swishing, thumping, thrashing. This is urgent inform that only I want to know.

Hmm, well

I don’t think they would necessarily “wag”? But they would behave differently depending on emotion. Like they’d flick when intrigued, be sharp and thrash about when angry, move around a little or be motionless when neutral, droop a bit when sad (which rarely occurs), etc. I imagine Nightmare’s tentacles are quite expressive, so in that sense I guess they could be considered moving “like an animals tail”.

[sketchingstars03]

Hai!! I’m new to your blog and I really love your lil oc. I’ve got a few stupid silly questions cause I can’t find a reference sheet.

>What’s Splatter’s personality like? Do they act different around Ink?

>How did Ink find Splatter originally?

>Does Splatter have any particular likes/dislikes? Do they have any phobias?

>What are Splatter’s preferred pronouns?

>How does Ink behave around Splatter? I always imagined him as a kinda clumsy, nervous dad/uncle figure but maybe I’m wrong.

So sorry for the absolute onslaught of questions! You don’t gotta answer them if you don’t want to. Thank you anyway!

!!! Omg

Anon I hope you know that whenever I get questions about Splatter or Splattertale I get the urge to happy stim.

A few of your questions will be elaborated on in a big Lore Post that I’ve had in the works for a while now, but I’ll answer what I can!!

With that being said:

She acts pretty much the same around Ink as she does with most people, though a bit happier. She’s a very curious, excitable, kind and caring, yet a bit insecure and lonely little kid. She’s impatient to explore all her surroundings and loves learning about others.

That will be explained later, but for now just know that she can’t go back to the AU she came from, so Ink adopted her.

She loves her family, cheesecake, painting with her tail, exploring various AUs (even parts of the Doodlesphere), and more! And she dislikes conflict, physical violence, and having to stay still for an extended period of time.

Her pronouns are She/Her! Though she won’t mind if someone uses They/Them on occasion.

Trust me Ink WAS clumsy and nervous at first. But he eventually got the hang of it (via help from others), and now he’s doing his best as a caring father who loves his daughter very much. He’s encouraging and very supportive, something that comes naturally to him as a muse for the creators. There’s only one of her in this multiverse so she’s quite special to him.

I’m terribly sorry for the lack of proper masterpost or ref sheet for Splatter and this story. I have multiple things I’m doing at the moment but rest assured I will get to it! That’s a promise.

Also the tags “#splatterverse lore”, “#splatterutmv”, and “#splattertale” are what I use when talking about this multiverse of mine and my silly OC, so checking those out would be in your best interest if you wanna learn more right now!

Ink’s paints are just- Well, paints- To everyone else, right? Including Splatter, I presume- But! It is the imperative of all children to try and eat or drink whatever their parent is eating or drinking, even if it’s bad for them.

Which lead to the (potentially very weird) idea, in my mind, of Ink having “herbal tea days” with Splatter or something like that. You know, those cool teas with the flowers in it that look all colorful and pretty? It feels like a good meeting point- It’s something safe for her to consume! And, to be honest, it seems like something Ink would be fond of, as well- It’s such a pretty form of tea, and they do love pretty, artistic looking things…

Or maybe I’m just weird, but! I thought it was cute!

Omg that’s adorable.

Fun fact, Splatter actually HAS tried (and succeeded on a few occasions) to eat Ink’s paint when she was very little. It ended up getting into her system, which, alongside just general exposure to Ink’s paint magic, caused the stars to appear in her eyes!

Ink thought that her eating paint was normal for a second (I mean HE does it and he’s her dad so 🤷) until Dream and Blue got concerned and Ink realized “oh shit wait okay she Should Not be ingesting paint” and got her to stop. She kept trying for a while though.

But yeah the idea of Ink using a different, more safe to consume drink to stop Splatter from eating literal paint, and it becoming a bonding thing that they do, is really cute. Maybe Ink also makes the tea change into different colours, so they’re still drinking colourful liquids. Even adding different decorations to the cups, and forming the flowers into intricate designs, so they look extra fantastical. They can’t help but get artistic with it lol!

I imagine Splatter would like the sweeter flavours of tea the best. If those exist I presume, I don’t know a lot about tea 😅. Either way I’m sure Ink could create some sweet-tasting teas for her regardless.

Thanks for the opportunity to ramble about these two, anon! I liked this ask very much :3

[sketchingstars03]

has Splatter ever worried that her dad is “lonely” without a romantic partner, or has she always gotten the sense that they’re content with how things are? did she ever try and set them up with someone- either seriously or as a joke?

Well she probably asked Ink if he ever thought about a romantic partner at one point out of curiosity, to which Ink explained that they don’t really feel the need for one (AroAce icon). And if she’s worried that their family isn’t “complete” without a second parent, he tells her that families come in all shapes and sizes, and that theirs is just as normal and great as any other!

(And that anyone who says otherwise is just jealous of their awesome family structure 😎)

[sketchingstars03]

Is Splatter ever protective/possessive of her dad? Not in, like, a “ooohhh she’s so evil!” way, kids can just sometimes feel like that, especially when they’re younger and get nervous about the idea of “sharing” their parent’s love and attention with someone else- So! Did she ever have a phase like that?

Well, that would imply that there’s someone out there that she feels could “take” her dad’s attention from her, of which there really isn’t any. At least when it comes to being jealous of others receiving affection from Ink. Maybe if she ended up with a younger sibling or something then she might start to feel that way (and if she does feel that way then she would be very afraid and upset about the idea of her dad not loving her anymore), but eventually that would be resolved by Ink or Dream or someone explaining to her that love and affection don’t have a limit, and that just because someone new is getting attention, doesn’t mean that she will get less or that she will matter less.

If we think about her being protective in a “Don’t hurt my dad!!” kind of way, then yes I feel she would be VERY protective and there would be times where she would feel the desire to keep him out of harms way. He’s literally the person that matters the most to her in the whole multiverse, the one who raised her and that she’s been around the most for her ENTIRE life. Though, this would conflict a lot with her fear of FIGHTing. She gets put into conflicting situations like this several times, where she feels an overwhelming desire to help others, yet fears physical conflict where she could potentially hurt someone. Even if that someone tried to hurt her first, she’d see herself as no better than the attacker if she fought back.

It’s rather unfortunate, but there’s a backstory reason for this that I don’t think I can get into here, though I will eventually.

Either way she cares deeply for her father, and shares a strong bond with him that both value dearly!

[sketchingstars03]

do Dream and Blue compete for title of best uncle when it comes to Ink’s kids. this is very important, I must know how goofy these two get.

Oh, goodness

Well, Dream does find himself getting a bit jealous whenever Splatter talks about how cool Blue is. She does view him as the coolest among her uncles (because Blue truly is that cool 😎). Whenever that jealousy happens, Dream sort of, jumps at the chance to show that “he can be a cool uncle too!” more frequently, which leads to some occasional shenanigans and silly moments of course.

“See? I can shoot my arrows very long distances and with precise aim! That’s cool right?” Very Hello Fellow Kids of him.

He pretends he’s not jealous.

He’s not good at hiding it.

Though he holds no malice or frustration towards Blue or Splatter for this. Blue is one of his closest friends, and him and Splatter are family. He would never be mad at them for something so frivolous as jealousy over the title of “Coolest Uncle”.

Blue does bring up how he’s the “coolest uncle” sometimes to playfully tease Dream (and Cross if he’s there). He wears the title with honour, it is truly a mark of prestige 😌. One could expect nothing less from The Magnificent Sans after all!! Not many can be as cool as he is (though his family, both multiversal and in Underswap, comes quite close!).

With all that being said, the idea of Blue and Dream deciding to compete one day to determine who truly is the best and coolest uncle out of the two is VERY entertaining and silly to think about. Maybe Ink helps to oversee it and organize some challenges they need to complete (he wants in on the fun lmao). Stuff like, who can bake the best cheesecake (Splatter’s favourite food)? If this story was a TV show I feel like this would make for a fun filler episode, lol! At the end of the day though, they’re both the best uncles in Splatter’s eyes! Being “cool” isn’t everything after all, they both contribute equally to Splatter’s life, and she wouldn’t replace them for the world!

[sketchingstars03]

Ooohhh, Splatter’s favorite food is cheesecake? I didn’t know that! Do you think Ink’s made her cotton cheesecake before? It’s also known as Japanese cheesecake- Lighter in texture and a bit less sweet. Apparently, it has a soufflé-like texture when it’s fresh out of the oven, but a chiffon-cake-like texture when it’s been chilled! I’m not even a cheesecake person myself, but it sounds pretty good…

On the note of Ink cooking/baking/whatever for Splatter- Do you think they’ve made her those thick, Japanese style pancakes? They look sooo good… And I think they’d be damn good at Japanese cuisine, heh.

Oh my goodness it looks soooo delicious. Well, I definitely think Ink would bake this cheesecake for Splatter NOW! Look at it!!!! (Though Blue is the main cook between the Star Sanses. But he can’t be around all the time so Ink would likely step in to make meals for Splatter in his absence)

Oh she’d be absolutely ECSTATIC if Ink made her that.

And the pancakes??

oh ABSOLUTELY yes!! And they’d both be intricately decorated by Ink. Nothing but the best for his daughter!

It makes a whole lot of sense for Ink to make Japanese recipes, after all japanese culture is part of his inspiration! Splatter would love everything they cook, even if it’s not the best at first 😅. She’d still think it was delicious nonetheless!

Man now I wanna eat these, they look soooo yummy aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ;w;

[sketchingstars03]

Im sorry if this is a stupid ask but I've been following you awhile and never got clarification: who is splatter's other parent?( other than ink, that is) I've just never seen anyone else.

Oh! That’s actually very easy to explain!

She’s adopted! Ink is a single dad here (who gets help with parenting from various friends and family)!

Sorry if I didn’t make that clear 😅. The lore post I have in the works explains how it happened in more detail. I’m currently working on it on and off between drawings.

But yeah it’s just Ink! And it wouldn’t consider it a stupid ask, dw!

[sketchingstars03]

This reblog comes with Fun Facts!!

Each of the Star Sanses helped teach Splatter various things that lead her to being who she is today

Ink taught her to see the value in all the creations around her

Dream taught her to be kind to others and to help those in need

and Blue taught her to be confident in who she is!

They always save the day!!

Aaaa another redraw

It’s the goobers!! The found family ever! The main cast of Splattertale!!
