Thormundar - Ser Winnifred of Rose Hearth
A steadfast Koira who styled herself a knight, she was charged as the protector of a fairytale land by a mysterious entity. Due to the shortsighted actions of a desperate visitor, however, that realm has been destroyed utterly, Ser Winnifred the only survivor of that land. Now an unmoored soul, she now walks the Utangard Forest with the blessing of the Four Fauns, rescuing innocents who have been lost in its winding woods.
A new personal piece featuring a character that I designed several years ago, I was motivated to paint a piece with her once the new Magic expansion, Wilds of Eldraine, was debuted earlier in the month!

Can you list what your OCs basedof(like beet is based of coco octopus)?
I can, but a lot of them are only loosely based on their species as i design them as characters first and after a specific species second. I have a lot of OCs that are just intended to be whatever the common type of Inkling or Octoling is (we canonically don't know that exactly) but i won't be including them in the list.
(under cut)
Dodo is a Whip-lash squid (Mastigoteuthis agassizi) distinguished by large, round-shaped fins, rows of photophores on the arms, and really long bizarre tentacles (they're sheathed in this picture and like every other one almost. look the squid up they are cool)
Rodge is a Stubby squid (Rossia pacifica) yes, the bobtail squid with the viral googly eyes. his defining trait is just having freckles and being small. likewise, Squl is also a stubby squid (and they're not related but i now find it amusing that they both main or used to main the luna blaster. lots of rage in a small body)
Axel is a Tropical bottletail squid (they very much also look like one, I think, because unlike with some other OCs i specifically designed them after the species and not the other way around)
Cola is a Berry's Bobtail Squid which is also small but also very sparkly. not much to say about him on that front
Boba is a firefly squid, the spots on her tentacles glow but not like all the time. (to be honest in the context of splatoon, being a "firefly squid" is kind of redundant because in the game, inklings are all extremely bioluminescent as they are, as are OCTOLINGS which definitely shouldn't have bioluminescence as that is EXTREMELY RARE in octopuses. but alas.)
Beet and Engel are coconut octopuses (but not related) most noticeable from the cyan suckers and vein- or ring patterns on the tentacles (which i will do better whenever i draw them like, more.)
Nori is a flying squid (which is a good contender for what the inklings probably ARE anyway judging from their super jumping abilities and flying squid also being "common squid" in japan)
Graffiti is just a common cuttlefish (whatever that means in Splatoon terms) but in real life terms that's Sepia officinalis. not extremely visible from the chibi drawing as literally almost 0 cuttlefish traits are showing here but you get the picture
Amber is a giant cuttlefish (Sepia apama) and really i feel like the main modifier from the common cuttlefish is just that she is way bigger. and also should have less distinct stripes, probably bigger fins and more bigger papillae (which she does. that's why she has a little beard)
Peppermint is a Humboldt squid and it's not extremely obvious after she's cut her tentacles (those are like the big deal) but you can still see she has big golden claws, and if she DID have her hunting tentacles, she would have suction cups with horrifyingly large golden teeth in them. she is also like on average at least a head taller than anybody else ever (the Humboldt squid grows to be like 5ft+ in real life and have a pretty terrible reputation among people who know like 2 facts about them and nothing else. they are extremely cool animals and potentially have a language)
Boy is kind of a wildcard because i'm like 50/50 on whether i want to just have him be a regular octoling or not because he could literally pass as either. He's designed after the boysenberry (which is obviously not an octopus) but secondarily he is designed after the Gloomy octopus (Octopus tetricus) and unfortunately, unlike with squid, it is EXTREMELY difficult to design characters after different species of octopus, because also unlike squid, a lot of octopuses look exactly the same at first glance and the only thing you can divide them by in a character design is by color (which, famously, they ARE KNOWN TO CHANGE).
so essentially a lot of octopuses don't really HAVE any differentiating physical traits aside from common color patterns which, again, they can freely change. So you could have OCs that are 15 different octopus species all look like the same species if they just decided to NOT be the iconic color scheme of whatever those species are.
anyway, i have to add that the gloomy octopus is a notably social species of octopus in contrast to what we think we know about octopus social lives (which is DEFINITELY at least reflected in his character) but other than that basically the only thing making him a gloomy octopus is the reddish-orange coloration of the suckers and undertentacles (something the gloomy octopus often displays).
Kombu is a very scruffy-looking OC and that's because he's an Algae octopus (Abdopus aculeatus), named so because in their camouflage display, they turn earthy green and brown colors and have a lot of pointy plant-like papillae jut out of their skin that makes them look like they're covered in some kind of algae or seagrass. it's pretty self-explanatory. It's also, as far as I know, the only octopus species that's been documented to walk on land as a hunting strategy...
I'm putting Flint and Lumo on the same spot because they are brothers and they're both designed after the day octopus (Octopus cyanea) which is a large (and extremely photogenic) species easily distinguishable by rows of pale spots down its tentacles, as well as two dark ocelli (false eye-spots, not pictured). But additionally, Flint is part frilled giant pacific octopus, whereas Lumo is part giant pacific octopus. Neither of which are really obvious unless you stood next to them. (ADDITIONALLY, Flint is designed after that mutation in octopuses that causes their arms to branch seemingly endlessly, whereas Lumo has a mutation that causes him to have next to no suckers)
finally, martin. he is showing 0 distinguishable traits in this image because he is DELIBERATELY hiding them. Martin is a southern blue-ringed octopus which means he is very small, has a bite that will kill you dead probably with no antidote, and people tend to be kind of scared of him for that reason (hence why he's got his tentacles covered up). Just like actual blue-ringed octopuses, the rings aren't shining out advertising the creature's toxicity all the time, rather showing as just vague ring patterns on whatever color he is displaying. His actual threat display causes his tentacles to flash an orange-yellow and the rings pop out as cyan (they are significantly smaller and more scattered than a Greater blue-ringed octopus' rings would be).
I have more OCs than that but for the sake of all of us those will not be included or this list would get extremely long

hi out of curiosity where did your new name come from? btw love it koira is a good name ^^
HEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEH okay i just wanted something to replace "mutt." i had that one for a bit but never really liked it, it was just never good. and i've been uh. moominmoded lately.
so i thought back to my old moomins oc, who is a made up species that i called "peurakoira" which is (in probably very crude finnish) "deerdog". so i just stole koira from there LHGDAHGDS
as for the url. i again just wanted something that sounded cool LGDKSHAGS

I did one of those side character reference things before and I've done like a billion refs since then so why not do it again.
(Some of these I might have posted already. i forget.)
Finston and Kiddo! more accurately known as "some fish I never draw". Or Flint's neighbor and his adopted kid, who also happens to (sometimes) play in a band with Tiger, Boy and Kombu. small world.
Boy's uncle and main parental figure. He has a passion for cars and works as a car mechanic in an industrial area. he also lives there because why not. Not like he has a wife to go home to.
Koira's Octarians or more formally known as Beakston Octarians. Koira cloned them from their own tentacles to have some more hands (and/or tentacles) around the place and also to have some company.
Logan might be a repost... but it's Logan so that's fine. He's an Inkopolis skater but also does mixing at Shark Beats.
Hook is some kind of armhook squid (Gonatus sp.) working at a record store, so he's a music guy. Not necessarily related to the stuff above though.
Mr. Muelleri is a rich cirroteuthid from the Deepsea that mostly does gambling, betting, and... Well, probably something else I'm sure. It's hopefully nothing involving or coming close to keeping whole Inklings in your closet to make them do bloodsports for monetary gain and fun factor (one-sided).
Citros and Maito work at a weapon shop called White Shark that's really a weapon shop second and a customization business first, in case you wanted your gear to be flashy and cool-looking. And a lot of people do! And they're also dating. :]
Winter! He's a cuttlefish. And also Graf and Frill's dad. And also Engel's therapist. Again, small world.
Rust is a vehicle- and weapon mechanic, originally from the Octarian domes but long since stranded in Inkopolis. They custom engineer weapons under the table just because they enjoy chaos and it's fun. (Their coworkers don't like that much.)
Tali is the founder of Shark Beats, before which they used to work for a bigger record label in Inkadia. Jawn is their brother, leading a much more humble life as a hairdresser - because his tenta-cuts are high quality and he excels at sliced and shredded styles, he actually has somewhat of a loyal customerbase from those who like wild tenta-styles. But he is also a ex-felon rumored to have gone to jail for predation, so Tali tries pretty hard to keep distant familial relations and keep it out of the paper.
This is the Loan Shark... scandalous! honestly it's kind of a skill issue if you get a loan from her and expect not to die. (I will probably make a version with clothes later but I wanted to do patterns and scars or something.) She will appear in a comic in the year 2028 when I finally stop procrastinating and just do it.
And here's an OC I haven't really posted yet:

I have not done art digitaly in a long time, but I was really inspired by @hugepennywisetrash ! Their style is so beautiful and the blog is great, you should check them out :)
This horned creature name is Koira Sandborn, one of my OC` from a Roleplay I have with a friend of mine. She is what is called a Dente, an ancient species that evolved from sabertooth cats.
I have a pennywise drawing I hope to post in a few days, if I have the time to draw this week.

Thormundar - Koira of the Radiant Night
"Fear not the radiance of the moon, the liveliness of the night."
Wanted to paint something simple in between last month's work and the start of May being a set of obligations which would render me unavailable for a few weeks. Nothing simpler than a moonlit doge, I guess?
As a bonus, a sketch of the generic character in the piece, when I designed the outfits of the races of Thormundar in 2021.
