Inksona - Tumblr Posts
I was doodling on the train to Riot Fest and remaking a design for my inkling/octoling sona Blue! (I know how original)
They go by any gender, they are chaotic lawful, a hybrid between a firefly squid and mimic octopus. She plays the bass that she found in the domes of Octo Canyon.
This cephalopod would NOT let go of that jacket since she was a kid, the urchins that raised her gave that to them to protect from the harsh weather of Splatlands.
Her tentacles are just fun to play around with. I can imagine she puts on scraps like bar wires on her bigger “horns”. Mainly to be spiky like her adoptive street urchins. 🖤

I redesigned my inkling persona character in hype of the Splatoon2 announcement.
The character and core ideas are still the same (stoic, strategic, cunning - mistaken for an octoling easily), but I wanted to try to represent them better through the design and color choices to fit into the Splatoon world. It was also fun to do an illustration in the official concept art style.
I’ll try to do some conceptual playstyle sheets and written descriptions later explaining the fountain pen weapon.
To celebrate Team Vanilla's victory I decided to make some silly magazine covers of my inkling, Bez and my girlfriend @bumblebeebuzzin04's octoling, Mai! She and I both drew our girls and then I made the covers heehee :) covers and translations below <3

Splatoon Ink Headcannons
Hey yall! Some of the main assumptions that I make in this post are related to the Splatoon Manga, which is level 2 cannon. Read with skepticism!
Low tide ink
Low tide ink is unique in that it cannot splat an ink based creature, but it can still ink turf normally.
It is often used in specialty organised turf wars among children and sick/disabled cephalopods. They sometimes have issues respawning correctly, so the concept of splatting is removed from the game.
Using low tide ink does not require an ink tank, as it is a low enough density to be exclusively made in the ink sack.
It is often used as bath water, because of it's harmlessness.
High tide ink
As high tide ink is very dangerous, its transport and possession is heavily controlled by the government.
It is considered highly dangerous due to the fact that it permanently kills both ink based and non ink based creatures.
Used by the Military, Police, Assassins, and The Squidbeak Splatoon.
It must be kept in special containers that look a little bit like soy sauce sachets.
Normal weapons cannot use high tide ink, special weapons must be acquired. These weapons look more like modern day weapons.
Other headcannons
High tide ink is produced by compressing normal ink and scraping off the top layer of impurities. This process is repeated 5 to 6 times.
Ink based creatures are able to change their own ink colour. Some especially skilled cephalopods can change their tentacle patterns. It makes for a great party trick!
