OKAYYY just scrolled thru ur art and im OBSESSEDDDDDD with how SHAPED your splatoon ocs are. SO SHAPED. the way trito and agara's tentacles are shaped to look like bunny/wolf ears respectively OUGHHHH!!!! agara specifically is so very wolf shaped overall....... and kinoga reminds me a lot of a jellyfish for some reason. ik you said they're based on pokemon so maybe i'm spot on idk i'm not. rlly a pokemon fan dhbfsnf... anyway just wanted to say I LOVE UR ART STYLE AND OCS SM OK BYE

AUUUU AOUUHHH THANK YOUUU I’M GLAD YOU LIKE EM they are currently the loves of my life I’m obsessed with them I rotate them all the time

Trito is based on gastrodon, Kinoga is based on Breloom, and Agara is based on alolan marowak! Their naming scheme comes from me taking a chunk out of respective pokemon’s japanese names

This is related to the ask game but I saw one of ur arts be about ur oc agara being carried and they're covered in green slime... Is there like a story behind that?

And also! ✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name? For agara Too!

(The art in question)

If you are unfamiliar with splatoon’s lore, Agara has been sanitized! Essentially, a company called Kamabo Co. recruits soldiers from the octarian military for “tests”, those who pass the tests get blended into primordial ooze, and that ooze is injected into other soldiers to do kamabo’s bidding. Sanitized octolings lose their will, memory, and life.

Trito and Kinoga, who were once soldiers that escaped to the surface after finding out what the “tests” were really for, return to the underground years later in search of the rest of their teammates. Denchu had stayed behind, telling them that Kanu and Jilon left for the surface, leaving Agara unaccounted for. Kinoga had faced sanitized Agara when they went through the tests. Horrified, Kinoga tries to avoid mentioning it, but Trito insists to go look for her. They eventually find her like that and decide to bring her with them in hopes of finding a way to return her to normal.

We (me and @igneouskit ) initially were just going to have her stay dead but we got attached to her ❤️

Agara and the rest of the squad follow a similar naming convention, they’re all based on pokemon, so I just take part of their japanese name. Alolan marowak is ガラガラ(Garagara) -> Gar(agara) -> Agara
