Been a while since I posted here.
Have an entire Splatoon fan comic by めぶいた @mebuita about a boy hero inkling and undercover reconnaissance octoling girl.

みんなに内緒でヒーローやってる系の学生イカくんください！！！！！！！！

の出会いはきっとこんな感じ。この後偵察とか言って変装してハイカラシティに潜入しちゃうんだな

イカタコ漫画 続きっぽいやつ。恋する戦士ワカメちゃん

イカタコ漫画。再会。 ヒーローくんは普段メガネなのでお互い気づいてなくて両片思いになっちゃえばいいと思うよ！

イカタコ漫画続き、これでラスト。ラストというのは最初に描いた「ヒーローの正体を知っていたクラスメイトの女の子が実はタコゾネスだった」という前提にするための過去編漫画の完結ということであって、これからもこの子たちは描いていきたいです！

Separate Japanese text are the artist comments. Sadly. I can't translate the comic or comments.

No. They just appeared as the mascots for the Squid v. Octopus teams in japan.

No official octoling idol... yet
The squid vs Octopus splafest was hosted by two company mascots. One Octopus girl and one Squid girl

Anyway. Saw some people surprised about the sudden influx of Octoling fan art on twitter today.
Seems Japanese splatoon fans and artists on twitter hold a weekly 60Min art challenge for Splatoon

Could post more but that's enough for one post.

foxuzamaki · Oct 26, 2015

The more octolings, the better

Zack Zavage · Oct 26, 2015

This game has some of the best artstyle I've seen so far. It's predestined to get fan art.

Regiruler · Oct 26, 2015

But where's male octoling. Come on Nintendo.

I hope it's not some BS justification that they're all female because they didn't think to do male models.

Robotguy · Oct 26, 2015

It's too hard to animate male octopi.

twothunder · Oct 27, 2015

Zack Zavage said:

Indeed. It does have a great artstyle. Splatoon got much fan art even just after it was announced.

foxuzamaki said:

Okay then. Part 2 of the fanart that was made for the Octoling / タコゾネス artwork challenge on twitter

Seductive octoling girls
Gotta love how this is quite a different spin on their design. Would these be western octolings?

The Final Boss.

Regiruler · Oct 27, 2015

That's not contradictory to what I said. I want a basic male grunt octoling, and based on octavio having a human form there should be no reason they don't exist.

Vena · Oct 27, 2015

Regiruler said:

I'm saying they obviously aren't all female.

twothunder · Oct 27, 2015

We almost didn't even have a male inkling.
As for the male octoling. The name octoling gives the impression of a species.
Yet. In japanese. The octoling girls are apparently called Takozonesu (From octopus and amazons) and seem more like a female fighting unit.
So. It makes sense you only fight girl octopus.
Still. Like Vena said. Male humanoid octopuses exist. They will probably just have a different japanese name.

Anyway. This is a fan art thread and so.. some more fanart based on the Japanese Love VS Money Splatfest starring Callie and Marie

Guy somehow reminds me of Gary Oak...

https://twitter.com/kanzaka123/status/658187284974452737

The next two.. @n_kamui doing quite an impressive Callie and Marie

Found this relating to today's [NA] Splatfest.

EDIT: This person also made these from previous Splatfests.

foxuzamaki said:

If I could picture the NA version, I think it would go like this:
MARIE: So Callie, which do you prefer? Love or Money?
CALLIE: L-O-V-E, baby! You know money can't buy you happiness!
MARIE: Maybe, but L-O-V-E doesn't pay the B-I-L-L-S. Money all the way!

This is fantastic. I see references to Twilight Princess HD and the Wolf Link amiibo (obviously), Linkle in Hyrule Warriors Legends, Star Fox Zero (the scouter on Wolf Link), Mario Tennis Ultra Smash (the ball), Mario Maker and Splatoon updates, and Cloud in Smash. Also, a nice nod to how Iwata was there in spirit.

Agh, I looove the fan art in this thread. It's all super inspiring. Fortunately, I finally managed to get a laptop of my own again, so I can get back to drawing. Here's my own (simple) contribution to the thread:

(I like male inklings. :x)

This one is very good, reminds me of Ed, Edd & Eddy.
