Squisker - Tumblr Posts
Never thought I'd draw these two again!
If you aren't aware I made art of what I feel Mckrakens parents might look like/be, since I'm starting to get back into yokai watch I thought I might as well redo these twos first picture! Since I honestly didn't like how they looked after these years >>;; Gonna just put their old info here sinc they haven't changed -->
Marina is Squisker's younger sister, the do similarities show. She has a relaxed and calm demeanor but will become passionate about something if she takes great interest in said thing/event. Marina was always with her older brother growing up, both acting similar to best friends in ways.
Octavious's name comes from his "oblivious" nature, when in reality he actually is very observant. He too is very calm and relaxed but will jump into action when needed. His side of the family have feline genes due to his great grandfather being a bakéneko, this also explains his and Mckrakens cat like actions (and his folded ears).
I also decided to go into more of their lives since I never did so back then. Octavious's family is actually a long line of farmers believe it or not! While Marinas upbringing was rather lavish, Octavious had more humble beginnings. Shown here is Octavious starting to show young Mckraken the ropes of farming and planting crops, as well as Marina teaching him how to use kitchen tools, these come into play as Mckraken gets older since he is very skilled with cooking and such :3
Here we have another (kinda) familiar face, Minister Squisker! I created this design for him years ago since Level5 has only ever shown off him as a redesign of Mckrakens monster form, and that never felt right to me, so I decided to give him an actual design :3 as well as a size chart. Now for a bit about him ->
Minister Squisker; as his name suggests, is a very important yokai in the royal court, he was also very close friends with the late Ancient Lord Enma, as well as his family being close with the Enma tribe in general. Squisker is a rather stern and rough sounding yokai but only ever is hard on others to try and bring the best out of them ( Mckraken being a good example), this has given him a reputation with outsiders as seemingly being a bit of a hard ass. Squisker has always been very supportive of his younger sister; Marina, especially when she decided to marry a yokai not of high society, he only cares for her and his extended families happiness.
Squisker does enjoy some down time surprisingly to most, when not hard at work he enjoys taking strolls around the palace, hanging out with either Ancient Enma ( usually involving drinks ) or being with Marina, Octavious and young Mckraken at their humble farmhouse a few town away. Squisker; while being a very supposedly open yokai, hates humans with a burning passion, no one, not even Marina or Ancient Enma, knows why the large squid has such a hatred for humans. The only soul who knows the reasoning is Squisker himself, which he had long forgotten until he was reminded one fateful night, one that he wishes he could forget.
