Splatoon OCs

Hey everyone! So glad you're enjoying my Splatoon OC art in the main post! Creating original characters is one of my favorite parts of being in the Splatoon fandom. If you've ever wondered 'what does OC stand for in art?' – it simply means 'Original Character'! It's your chance to bring your unique vision into the vibrant world of Inklings and Octolings. If you're looking for some Splatoon OC ideas or want to dive into character design yourself, here are some tips I've picked up along the way. First, think about your OC's core identity. Are they an Inkling, an Octoling, or maybe something else entirely? This choice influences their basic anatomy and style. Next, let's talk about appearance – this is where the fun really begins! Body Type & Stance: Don't be afraid to experiment! Your OC could be a stout, round character with a strong presence, or perhaps a tall, slender character with an elegant flair, like some of the sketches I've shared. How they stand or pose reveals a lot about their personality. Headwear & Gear: Splatoon fashion is iconic! Think beyond the usual. Could your OC sport an elaborate hat that tells a story? Or a long, flowing garment that adds a dramatic touch? We see characters in all sorts of outfits, from a formal suit jacket with a prominent black tie to more casual streetwear. What kind of gear would your OC battle in, or just hang out in Inkopolis Square with? Unique Features: Give them something memorable! Maybe they have distinctive large eyes, or tentacles with circular patterns that catch the light. You could even give them a unique expression, like a menacing grin and dark eyes for a more mysterious vibe, or perhaps have them carrying a peculiar accessory like a dark orb. The small details truly bring them to life. Color Palette: Splatoon is all about color! What’s your OC’s favorite ink color? How does it reflect their personality? Do they prefer bright, bold hues or more subdued shades? Personality & Backstory: What kind of person are they? Are they a fierce competitor, a laid-back artist, or maybe an aspiring idol? Their personality should shine through their design. A shy OC might favor more muted colors and modest gear, while a flamboyant one might rock an angular coat and wild accessories. Don't forget to think about their role! Are they a competitive player, a musician, a shop owner, or an idol? This can heavily influence their aesthetic. For example, a 'Splatoon idol OC' might have a very flashy, stage-ready look. Creating your own Splatoon characters is an incredibly rewarding process. It's not just about drawing; it's about storytelling through design. So grab your pencil or stylus, and start sketching those amazing ideas! I can't wait to see what unique Splatoon OCs you come up with!
