Work really does just zap your art energy away huh? I do want to draw but am always so tired these days 😭 Wish I could be like Alex, always chill, no stress, relaxing on a mattress. Wish I could be *with* Alex in this instance too, but we’ll unpack that later. /silly #Lilaclevart #OCart #SplatoonOC

Daryl gets to join Turfer in the new refs club! As much as I love him, I felt like his old casual look just lacked a bit of sauce, which was a crime because he’s very slay, and according to a few octolings: “hot as fuck” #Lilaclevart #SplatoonOC #Agent4

New ref featuring Daryl, a Pink haired inkling with one flipped tentacle. He’s also wearing a pair of hero headphones from his agent 4 debut.

The same ref as before but he lacks the pink coat

I’ve recently gotten the inspiration to revamp some of my Splatoon OCs Casual/default fits. Some don’t need too much changing but others I feel don’t properly express their personalities how I’d like, so I may as well take advantage of it to create new refs. #SplatoonOC #Lilaclevart

Turfer Ref, an Inkling OC with Indigo hair and a muscular build.

Drawing of a Splatoon OC, an Octo Kraken, who belongs to @ghosthostwitdamost! She's looking at the viewer with an alluring, but kind of dangerous gaze, as his right hand is a bit close to her face. The background a coffee shop, where she works at, as a waitress.

My "most recent" OC~ I like to think of him as raspberry lemonade. He's got a lot of emotional baggage and trauma. Such is the life of an Octoling. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #SplatoonArt #SplatoonOC #Octoling

Hurray! Here’s my Raiders Mechanic, Kammo! He’s a bit of a loner to start, having had troublesome relationships in the past that did more harm than good, but throughout his journey with deepcut and other stranded mechanics has been able to open up more and allow himself vulnerability. #Lilaclevart

Lightly Colored rough doodle of Kammo featuring the disheveled hair version pre-cut.

An alternative doodle that basically came from the first image but I thought it looked different enough.

Captain (Clear) Quartz is a stand up guy, and while he doesn’t actively seek out conflicts to settle he won’t hesitate to spring into action and help locals push back invaders, he is a real powerhouse so he’s usually fine handling those things on his own while his crew stays back, safe at home base.
