!!! mochi, hachikō and slick swim forms!! who’s the biggest in swim form? who’s got the longest tentacles? who would let you hold them like a little baby in swim form (VERY important asking for me)

I’ve never really drawn the swim forms by themselves before, so I decided to doodle them while I’m waiting to be tired enough to sleep more, heh. I tried to make some visual variations between the two squids, just so it’s not too samey.

Slick’s probably the smallest of the main trio. His “fins” slightly curl up like his ears, similar to how the market squid’s fins. Mochi’s are more rounded-off and stumpy, but she’s overall the longest in swim-form. Hachikō may be the tallest, but his swim form is average, sometimes he morphs into it when spooked out of habit. Fun fact: if any of them remotely resembled the sizes of what species they were based on, Hachikō would be the smallest, as coconut octopuses are only 6 inches (15 cm) long. California market squids are about 8-11 in (190mm), and Humboldt squids are 4’11”! Mochi should be a giant, but y’know, genetics suck.

As for carrying them… they’re about the same size as the player in-game so it might be kinda hard to pull off.

(I couldn’t find a sona of some kind, so you’re the ambiguous grey fellow for now)

Despite Mochi being a gremlin, she’d probably like to be carried. I don’t know if like a baby, but I think she likes any excuse not to walk.

*slam dunks canon lore to the bin* what if octolings, after a certain age, transform into an actual octopus during full moon while inklings turn into an actual squid during blood moon 🤔 (I watched a lot of squid/octopus docu. I just wanna find a reason to draw one sksksk)

something something nina’s cover of the times they are a’changin’ as the final song of ofmd s2 is the only song that could end this season because come mothers and fathers throughout the land don’t criticize what you can’t understand, your sons and your daughters are beyond your command: the old road is rapidly aging, please get out of the window if you can’t lend your hand, for the times they are a’changing something something

#i have this on repeat like man. okay then ofmd. o k a y then.#you better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone huh #and he who gets hurt will be he who has stalled for there’s a battle outside and it’s RAGING #we’ll soon shake your windows and we’ll rattle your walls #for the times they are a’changing #im a sucker for nina and for bob #so i’m FINE #maybe i’ll actually write beyond meme form and lyrics later but like okay yes thank you

How do you go about creating your xeno designs? (Especially octos they're so cute)

How do you decide things like markings/marking placements and such

Also, how would you go about creating a new xeno style species design? (Like cuttlelings or a fanmade species like harelings?)

I can't really answer this without making an unorganized mess of a post but just to try my best: I have my own little guideline I follow when drawing xenos. I still follow canon when it comes to tentacles, masks, and ears. Then I put my own little spin on it.

Inklings have thicker limbs and more flesh tones/less chromatophores the rest of their body, they're rounder and a bit stockier (though even this isn't set in stone because there are diff body types.) i usually color them all the same.

Octolings are stretchier with crowns and non retractable claws. They often have more complicated marking and patterns, a well as more fullbody control over their color. i just do whatever when designing their patterns. Some of my octolings have rings or stripes, and i tend to draw marina with starry patterns.

But really I just go with what I think looks good on that character. or i completely forget traits like having the eye whites show mostly.

I have an idea of what I want for cuttlelings already though. Lots of fins and frills, smaller size, and crazy patterns/colors depending on personality.

I'm not a fan of harelings, salmonlings or sharklings or anything like that. We know what evolved sea slugs look like, based on flow, and I don't think any creature with bones makes sense to be a "-ling". especially. mammals. I'm all for anthro sharks though, similar to what we see in non inkfish band members. But yeah, not interested in the slightest of messing with any non cephalopod shape shifting species. If I were to design any they'd just be. How they appear in game but in my style

#ask #hc stuff #xeno inkfish #i might make a visual later breaking down my design process #or not #sorry i didnt have much to say on harelings #i think flow is awesome and more ppl should draw her #the swim form kid form is something unique to inkfish anyway imo #but if u wanna have a dolphinling or somethin do it my word isnt law
