HEY! Do you guys like squid biology? creature headcanons? cool art? well BOY do I have the document for you~~!
It is with great pleasure to show off this absolute chonker of an art/writing project; The Mollusc Era! BEHOLD, MY MAGNUM OPUS!
In this document I go over the intricacies of various cephalopods; Inklings, Octolings, Cuttlings and even the Nautilus! The entire study is illustrated by yours truly, so there's plenty of pretty pictures to gawk at as well as pages upon pages of my concentrated autism ramblings to pour over if that's also your thing. Enjoy!
I’ve also included a Legacy Version of the document: a much older, unfinished version complete with ancient-ass art from mid last year in all of its poorly-rendered glory. A lot of the information in there is also outdated and poorly written, so good luck with that. yuck.
I recommend viewing both of these on desktop as the formatting seems to work best on there. You're more than welcome to use any of the info in there for whatever you like, if you're gonna use my art please credit me though! cheers!

Splatoon artists, how creature are your inkfish?
It’s crazy the variety of how people draw inkfish, so here’s a little game :)
Reblog and put in the tags, and if you’re not an artist you can put how you imagine inkfish
(For an example, canon would be about 2 due to some features like the beak/mouth and fingers being stylized)

POV : you just complimented two young punks about their ear piercings and they thank you by schooling you to hell and back
-Long story short ; I have a feeling that since they have no visible eardrum hole to actually serve the hearing function, the inkfish "ears" aren't actually their ears, but the humanoid version of their fins ; or more accurately of the floppy bits on their heads from their original species.
So they aren't actually ears, but they're used for fashion, conveying emotions (they can move them more or less consciously, much like a cat), and also and mainly for protecting their actual ears, located behind them, from weather conditions (like wind or sand storms), from direct impact during fighting circumstances, and from currents, like when they swim.
Their headphones are actually always designed to somehow cover the little slits that are their actual ears. (The fins play as mere structural support then.)
...This is a theory of mine that just kinda jumped in my face when thinking about how Inkling ears are completely flat, and even if it isn't going to stop me from drawing their fins like actual ears, it's cool to have an explanation about that design. Hope you like it too 🤗
(Also side note but I love coming up with random Inkfish designs when illustrating this kind of stuff. Enjoy heavily tattooed Inkling guy, blue-ringed Octoling with the toupee tentacut and OctoGirl with lesbian flag-themed tentacut. Happy Pride.) (:

My take on Agent 4!! She's an absolute piece of shit, and the worst part is he's too good at his job for anyone to say anything about it. Uses weapons like the Reef-Lux or Hydra, whatever she finds more annoying/overpowered.
Also like, super gay for Neo 3. Super gay.
(And sorry for the @, but I wanted to give credits for the patterns on their body, which were inspired by @bunnybrainrot's inklings!!)
