I said "no promises" after coverin' Lee back in July, but lo and behold, I finally draw May, and with that, I've done all three of the Kanker sisters, amusingly wrappin' up after a whole year since I did Marie.

Enjoy!

Gunnthrá from Fire Emblem Heroes

It's been too long since I last drew the wife, and while not perfect, feels good to know that I still got it!

As much of a trainwreck the game's become since Book VIII, I still love it and I gotta see the story to its end anyway. Book IX bringin' us to Ásgarðr definitely screams endgame territory cause frankly, I dunno where else they could take us after throwin' down with the almighty Æsir above the rest.

Anyway, so glad that despite how absurd the meta (that I don't exactly care about, but still kinda pay attention to), Gunnthrá's still holdin' strong, even if she was scuffed from the start with her stats, the remix, refine, and new skills have continued to give options for her to keep up. (just a shame she's been outclassed in her own gimmick)

Regardless, they'll never make another character that warms my heart like Gunnthrá does. She's everythin' I could want...♡

Enjoy!

CrystalsStarzz's Blake the Hedge-Cat

After 3 months of my brain refusin' to cooperate with me for focusin' on stuff I tried to make within that dry-spell, it randomly locks in for someone's hybrid Mobian, I hate the way it's been functionin' since 2019.

At least I feel alive again.

Enjoy!

I just realized I never posted these two, though it's also cause the designs aren't finalized, but one day, I decided to revive a couple of Sonic OCs I once conceptualized in 7th grade and while I couldn't quite remember what they looked like back then (lost the sketchbook long ago ;-;), I definitely felt the outfit for one of 'em is an improvement over what I originally had in mind. 'Course, I also feel a lil' outta my element with how many years I stuck to drawin' more human designs compared to the far and few instances of playin' with anthro/straight up non-human characters, but I suppose for what I pulled off in this first draft, that's neither here nor there. Anyway... ================================================ ==Sky & Cassie== A pair of traveling hedgehogs who've stuck with each other for a long time. Sky wields a katana he calls "Hiraishin" along with electicity and primarily uses his speed to effectively sidestep incoming attacks and follow-up his own attacks. He's a bit of a reckless spirit who's still learning to master running long distances with his own speed, but wherever there is trouble that he can cut down, he'll jump at the opportunity without a second thought. Cassie wields psychic power through channeling it into all sorts of methods of attacking from a distance (i.e. energy projectiles, beams, upheavals), though should she have to fight close-combat, she can just channel the energy into her fists and legs. She's seen as the more mature of the two, but has kept Sky around as he's the only one who can keep her in check on the rare occasion she gives into rage and enters a berserk form that's about as destructive as one can imagine with powers of her calibur. ================================================ As you can tell, I don't have much to 'em, didn't have much back then either, but I hope to change that! ... someday lol

[blazartstudios]

The fact that I've covered another Kanker sister doesn't feel quite right to me, but I was really feelin' myself when I started, so I rode the high all the way to the finish line and now I have this.

Dunno if I'll cover the bucktooth wonder to round it out, so no promises!

Enjoy!

I have strong words when it comes to SV, however I will not stand for Rika erasure!

“How does Olivia have not much art” BECAUSE YOU (general “you”, not specifically you) MOTHERFUCKERS SCREAMED AT ARTISTS FOR DRAWING NESSA EVEN A *FRACTION* LIGHTER THAN SHE WAS! BECAUSE WHILE THERE’S CHARACTERS I’D LOVE TO DRAW, I’M SCARED OF THE BACKLASH IF IT’S PERCEIVED AS WRONG! Fuck, I have a big ol’ honkin’ crush on Leon and I’d LOVE to draw him but I’m afraid I’d just get attacked if I fuck something up. Even my drawing program has color issues I don’t see until I upload my art.

The only saving grace with the whole thing was that more and more artists eventually started falling into the '*poke fanbrats with a stick* Go away.' mindset.

Because, trust me, as someone who typically looks up SwSh fanart and smut because SV's character designs just... weren't it, the same matter of tomfuckery tries to surge up every so often in regards to Raihan. I.e.: people trying to start the 'why do fanartists always have to make black male characters feral or predatory?'

Which, you know, would have been a decent talking point... If it weren't for the fact that Raihan is LITERALLY the DRAGON GYM-LEADER and the franchise itself plays up his whole 'roaring dragon' schtick.

S3/OC Scenario: Seeking the Extreme

Neo Agent 3 touches down in Alterna after clearing Cryogenic Hopetown and notices that Lil' Buddy had already taken off. The smallfry scrambles over to an Inkling that was passing by, bumping against the heel of his shoe. The Inkling takes notice and upon seeing Lil' Buddy, his bored expression turns sadistic as he snatches Lil' Buddy and holds him up by the scruff of the neck.

???: "Well well, what do we have here? A vermin that strayed so far from its pack. I dunno how you found your way all the way down here, but tough luck, you had to run into me."

The Inkling opens his mouth, ready to eat Lil' Buddy alive when Neo 3 catches up in time to snatch her little friend back. Upon closer examination, the Inkling was wearing a black dress suit with the white collared shirt unbuttoned from the neck to below the chest, brown fingerless gloves, and black dress shoes. His silver hair was disheveled and two scars sat on his face, one across his nose, intersecting with the other going through his left eye which was covered by bangs. In his left hand was a long, odd-looking briefcase with the handle sitting near one end of it and what look to be a katana handle sticking out.

???: "Hm? That smallfry a friend of yours or somethin'? I'd be careful gettin' chummy with the vermin that invades our cities."

Neo 3's communication device rings up.

Agent 1: "Agent 3! Is everything okay? Who did you find!?"

???: "Hey, that voice… wait a minute, 3!? I figured you wouldn't have looked the same since our storm through Octo Valley, but apart from the new hairstyle, you look like you haven't even aged a day!"

Agent 1: "Hold on… Oda? Oda is that you!?"

Oda: "Callie!? What's the Squidbeak Splatoon doin' down here?"

Agent 2: "We could ask you the same. 3, both of you come back to base."

Without hesitation, Neo 3 and Oda squid jump over back to Future Utopia Island. ================================================ Oda: "Ah, I was mistaken. Sorry Captain, it's just been so long."

[Captain 3 silently chuckles]

Agent 1: "So wait, what happened to your face?"

Agent 2: "More importantly, what're you doing down here?"

Oda: "Ah, well y'see, I'm lookin' for someone. Blue haired Octoling, hair covers one of her eyes, pretty dramatic about her entrances."

Agent 2: "Sounds like that Shiver we encountered earlier. She and her goons are apparently here for treasure."

Oda: "Yup, that's Deep Cut alright! … As much as it pains me, I'll lend you guys a hand."

Agent 1: "Super fresh! … wait, what do you mean 'pains you'?"

Oda: "It's a long story I'll have to save for another time, but basically, I'm close with Shiv and this'll definitely earn me an earful from her once things are settled here. I still owe you guys for back then, so savin' Craig takes priority."

Agent 1: "Whoa, it's like the conflict of a lover's tale!"

[Oda quickly looks away]

Oda: "C-Come on, don't put it like that."

Agent 2: "The Captain says 'Save the gossip for later, we still have to find Cuttlefish.'"

Oda: "Roger that, 3! And you…"

[Oda looks at Neo 3]

Oda: "… I'll call you Neo to make things easier. Anyway, you let me know if you and your vermin need help. Oh, right I never introduced myself."

[He sits his briefcase down and strikes a cool pose with his left hand obscuring the left side of his face]

Oda: "I'm Oda Inkari! Make sure that smallfry doesn't get lost or I just might eat him by accident." Mad Shōgun Oda Inkari

===================[Post-Game]====================

Neo drops down to Eco-Forest Treehills and finds a new path off to the side, leading her to a lone, small island with a huge kettle in the middle. Uncovering the new hidden level, a powerful, malevolent aura seeps from the grate of the entrance.

Agent 2: "The captain says 'Please come back alive'"

Neo looks upon the kettle with a tiny sense of unease before entering.

07: The Thrill of The Great Leveler Objective: Survive

Neo touches down to a large arena surrounded by several broken torii gates and finds herself staring at a peculiar, familiar Inkling with an odd looking briefcase in his hand, looking up at the lone torii gate that stands unbroken.

Oda: "You've beaten Deep Cut, overcame Mr. Grizz, and even proved your mettle to this settlement's ultimate test. Be proud, I'd say you're standing side by side with 3 as one of the great heroes the world may never know…"

He turns around and looks at Neo with his single, blue/red dual-colored eye and grins, showing off his sharp teeth.

Oda: "But the fact that you're here tells me you hadn't had your fill, haven't you?"

He holds up his briefcase, revealing it to actually be a makeshift sheath with an engine attached, holding his weapon. Pressing one of the buttons, the sheath opens itself to let him draw out what looked to be a katana with a long brush in place of a blade.

Oda: "This'll be the only time I'll embrace the dead traditions of my clan, so let's make it count."

Flipping the weapon to grip it backhanded, Oda raises his arm and makes a hand sign. His eye flashes red, inverting it's two colors, his shadow extends three ways over to three spots beside him, and with a malevolent aura emitting from his body, three Inklings spawn to his side, each carrying a different weapon. The one who bore long lavender hair with her two long tentacles chomped at the ends looks over to Oda with a teasing expression. ???: "Odie, are you really calling on big sis to help you babysit this pathetic looking mollusk?"

The one who bore green hair styled into a long ponytail speaks up with eyes closed and crossed arms.

???: "Prey is prey, Toki. Remember the last time you underestimated your prey?"

Toki: "Kaneeeeeeee, I told you that was because I thought I had him before the wretched blue octo showed up and snatched him from me!"

The Inkling who bore short blue hair interjects while still leaning on his brush.

???: "If you two are done arguing, the duel should be starting any second now, isn't that right, brother?"

Oda: "Very much so, Hiro, this will also be a test on our teamwork, so look alive before I turn this into 2v3 and you can die to our challenger here!"

Oda shoots a death glare to his siblings, prompting them to straighten themselves up and ready for combat. Turning his gaze back to Neo, he smiles once again.

Oda: "I'll spare you the story for another, but right now…"

He enters a battle stance and his expression turns crazed, sticking his tongue out.

Oda: "YOU STAND BEFORE THE ONES DESCENDED FROM WARRIORS WHO ONCE NEARLY CONQUERED ALL OF INKADIA! DEATH IS THE ONLY WAY OUT, THAT IS THE WAY OF THE INKARI!"

Thrill-Seeking Squid Quartet The Four Demon Kings

Oda: "FIGHT OR DIE, LITTLE SQUID, INKSATSUNA CRAVES ANOTHER STRONG SOUL!"

==================[After the Battle]===================

Neo catches her breath, standing victorious from the duel to the death, Oda stands on one knee alone, his siblings having returned to Inksatsuna when they were slain. In spite of suffering defeat, he merely cackles with excitement. Oda: "AHAHAHAHAHAHA, I HAVEN'T LET LOOSE SINCE I HAD TO FELL MY LUNATIC GRANDPA, AND IT ALMOST FELT AS GOOD AS THAT TIME! I WANNA JUST KEEP THIS DUEL GOING!!!" Returning Inksatsuna back to it's sheath, he stands up with his expression and eye color returning to normal. Oda: "But, I know when I've lost... besides, I'd be breakin' Shiv's heart if I let myself die and I love that fool too much to let that happen." ???: "TSU-TSU!" Oda winces and chuckles nervously as his ears pick up the angry yell of the blue Octoling he was referring to. Shiver shows up, walking past Neo to yank Oda by the collar, wearing a coyly smile that thinly veils her absolute fury. Shiver: "I try to reach you multiple times and find you left your phone in your house. Care to explain yourself?" Oda's eye darts away for a moment before he simply shrugs. Oda: "... Your new friend here just happened to pique my interest." Shiver: "So much so that you needed to keep your little date here a secret, hmm?" Oda: "Okay, now you're just talkin' crazy--" Shiver opens her eyes to stare daggers into him as she pulls him closer. Shiver: "I was worried sick, Tsu-Tsu, and I made a fool of mysef from how much I was panicking and then--" Oda looks to Neo and smiles casually. Oda: "As you can see, we're gonna be here for a minute, but don't worry about me, just be on your way, kiddo." Shiver: "Now you're just ignoring me? Am I just THAT insignificant to you?" Oda's eye flashes red once more as his attention returns to the angry bandit. Oda: "HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHAT KIND OF SQUID I AM, YOU COLD-HEARTED EMPRESS!? OR DO WE NEED TO SETTLE THIS WITH A DUEL!?" Neo couldn't help giggling at the usually chillest of squids she's met finally lose his cool demeanor in the face of a silly misunderstanding, but she knew it was best to leave as to not make her prolonged presence be any more of an issue for her new friend. She casually strolls off to the goal, ready to call it a day... =================LEVEL CLEARED!==================

=================================================

... I can't remember the last time I took a stab at writing to this extent. I was just wonderin' "Hmm, what if my main Splatoon OC was a secret postgame boss fight", then remembered between the lore I've been building up with him on top of Deep Cut doin' basically ninjutsu type shit for their boss battles (sorry if that's incorrect, I just dunno what it could be if not that given Splatoon's setting is a post-apocalyptic science fiction), I realized it wouldn't be too outta place to have his "dead" siblings show up too and it was a perfect opportunity. I do apologize that there isn't much context behind my OCs here, I kinda suck at keepin' my lore notes organized and I just don't wanna share much while I'm still in debate regardin' shit here and there on their journeys leadin' to present day of Splatoon 3, but y'know, it's not often I get a real feel for myself to try writing and actually go for it the whole way through, so bleh :P I hope to eventually be able to properly introduce all of these maniacs. andyesIwannapairthegoofysharktamerwiththiswildinkchildofmine So anyway, Imma go back to playin' around with the new Splatana, Decavitator is too much fun, buh-bye!

[358/2 Days and III Spoiler Warning]

I still remember how after beatin' 358/2 Days' story (from over several months of sweat and tears), I'd spend the rest of my time with the game on the completed file, replayin' the final missions because of how much I loved clashin' with Xion's final form and gettin' to see the game's end art accompanied by Dearly Beloved Reprise.

Along with that though, I also remember how in spite that I don't recall kid me havin' a lot of attachment to Xion, I remember feelin' the pain of losin' her and Roxas' anger as I fought my way through the endgame and witnessin' what came after.

Even though KH3 would bring the gang together again, it still hurted more than I thought, to think I would've never seen Xion again once I finally laid Days to rest.

Heh... guess I liked her much more than I had realized then...

[blazartstudios]

Wanted to draw other stuff, but nothin' was comin' out satisfactory for me so I settled to draw my OC, Oda, and Shiver in squid form. Two lonely souls lightin' each others coldest days... Enjoy!

[blazartstudios]

[blazartstudios]

Just a quick sketch of VShojo's Zentreya, in spite of how much I suffer when I try to draw robots

A headshot of my OC, Fros Saehailah

I mentioned this one on my main blog, though I'm afraid she's still in the works as far as the outfit design is concerned.

She's the leader of a small, elite group called the Four Seraphim and chosen to inherit the powers of the Goddess of Order, Kali (who had also handpicked the Four Seraphim). Wields the holy sword, Galatine, which also has a whip mode.

With a strict, no-nonsense attitude, she cuts down any and all who oppose Kali and has lead many attempts to expand her reign to other nation with Galatine in hand and fueled by her burning zeal.

As the chosen one to inherit Kali's powers, she awaits the day she finds Blaz, a young man she had executed as a child along with his parents only to later learn he was given a second chance after making a deal with the God of Chaos, Yirelta.

may or may not be a dommy mommy too because ho boy, I can never seem to contain my horny and I've thought of havin' those two go from enemies to lovers

Anyways, I hope to figure out some mix of holy knight and dominatrix!

[blazartstudios]

Another Shiver! It's still hard drawin' Inklings and Octolings with a result I can be truly satisfied with, but somethin' in me tells me I just gotta keep tryin'
