Commission for @originalbramble.bsky.social, thank you for commissioning me! I love the squid bumpers and I've been wanting to do something with them for a while, so I had some fun with this.

The SOLAR Blaster is a flashy new space-based weapon by NEO with a kit that fits the theme! Invade the enemy base with Big Bubbler and chase your target with the Torpedo sub. Oh, and the holograms are just for show.

Unsure if you're allowing 3d artists, but I'm a Blender artist that's been specializing in Splatoon fanart over the past few years. I'm currently taking commissions and could use the extra money as art is my only source of income 🤲

Another summer, another Mahi piece. Let's just pretend that inklings don't die in water.

Remade this page from Bancala Walker in 3d, because I thought these characters were so cute

A scene of two male inkfish side by side. The octoling on the left is kneeling down, while the inkling on the right is standing upright and blowing bubblegum. The same scene but as a 2d illustration from Bancala Walker.

More advanced stuff. I suggest not bothering with these if you're a beginner as most of this stuff can just be substituted for regular Blender nodes.
Regardless, these aren't frequently used and you may never even need to use them!
If I'm wrong about the MAi/MBi usage feel free to correct me.

Pt 3: Texture types and what they mean.
Oh boy, guess this has became more of a "Blender tutorials" thread than a tips one. I promise everything after this won't be as complex!

🦑 Inverting Ink colors on gear properly

(Note I forgot to add to the second image):
The "main" color used isn't the exact ink color, the hue for that is slightly shifted too. In the final Hue/Saturation/Value node, you can shift the final hue with the first Hue input (default is 0.5)

🧵 Blender Tips Thread
(since quite a few were interested!) Decided to make these into images rather than risk the post character limit.
I'll be adding onto this thread whenever I come up with new tips. Keep in mind these mostly will be Splatoon specific!

First tip is "merging faces" 🦑
#splatblend
When working with the game models you'll see that the expressions are separated into their own meshes, and those are also separate from the main head mesh. This creates a visible seam between the face and the skull, which introduces issues with subsurface scattering (if you use it). To fix this, just duplicate the head for as many expressions as there are, and join them individually (don't forget the mouth meshes too!) Then you can go into Edit Mode for each new head, select everything (A), then merge by distance. Make sure the value is extremely small (something like 0.0001) to avoid accidentally fusing the lips together. If you fused the face models with the heads, now you're just left with multiple heads! Merging this to the Body mesh isn't a very good idea considering the expressions will need to be swapped out in the future. If you're not using subsurface scattering, you can just keep it like this - but if you are - the seam between the head and the body will be very visible. There is no way around this aside from making the entire mesh completely solid. So, instead of joining and merging the vertices here each time we make a new render, we can just use the Boolean modifier to temporarily join the two meshes into one during renders. Place the modifier on the body mesh, and make it look exactly like this. For the object, just choose the head mesh you'd wish to join. Important Note: The Boolean modifier lags the viewport immensely, especially during posing. It's best you disable the modifier in the viewport, and only have it enabled on render. And in the actual outliner, reverse it. So, enable the unmerged head in the viewport, but not in the render.

Can't believe I forgot to post this one! Made this for a Secret Santa this year. I definitely went beyond what I normally do here with the custom models. Also used this as an excuse to figure out the Blender particle system.

(Late) Valentines day! I've never had a Valentine, neither has Scrap... but he's not really interested in other inkfish, only his splatling.
