reference sheet of my splatoon OC, blast (he/him), who is a gijinka of the blaster weapon from splatoon 3. he is prominently featured in the center of the image, leaning against his custom car. the hot rod that he drives features a flame pattern, similar to the leather jacket that he wears. his outfit takes inspiration from punk culture; he dresses this way to give others the impression that he is cool. close-up details of his design are scattered throughout the reference sheet. a short blurb about blast can be seen in the bottom right. it reads as follows: "Blast is most well-known as the guy who drives a flaming hot rod through flounder heights playing bass-boosted music. He has a tendency to overestimate his capabilities (notably his aim) and desirability (he's bi and gets no one). Don't tell anyone that he cries at romcoms; he desperately wants people to think he's cool!"

character sheet of my splatoon OC, whiffy the squiffy, for fourleafisland's brush week challenge. she is a gijinka of the classic squiffer. this version of whiffy is based on the lovely brush, and draws inspiration from my idol OC, gels, who is described as the "people's angel." whiffy is drawn in a white dress with off-the-shoulder sleeves. the dress has a heart choker, and a heart ribbon at the chest area. she wears many accessories, including a halo, a yellow headband with a pink ribbon, angel wings, and white opaque tights. she wears ballet heels with a heart ribbon. the squiffer is recolored to have a pink and yellow palette, with the cleaning bottle decal featuring gels' signature. underneath the squiffer, is director's commentary from lee, who made the lovely!whiffy design in universe. it reads as follows: "Gels has been my biggest inspiration since her debut as an idol in February 2018. She's always been passionate about her craft, and it reflects in her voiceover work for Whiffy. Usually, I don't have the time to participate in endeavors like this, but it felt important to me to pay tribute to someone so pivotal to my life." "The design I created for Whiffy is inspired by Gels in her debut era. It was important to me to make the design as faithful as possible, so I consulted my friend Sydney for assistance. He's also a long-time fan of Gels and her work. Thank you for providing such valuable feedback and references." "I hope that fellow Gels fans appreciate the love that went into this design. I feel satisfied with the turnout and I'm glad I participated."
character sheet of my splatoon OC, whiffy the squiffy, for fourleafisland's brush week challenge. she is a gijinka of the classic squiffer. this version of whiffy is based on the lagoon brush, and draws inspiration from summer days at the beach, and the red hibiscus flower. whiffy is drawn in a white dress with a wave pattern at the bottom of the dress. a yellow cropped jacket is layered on top, and has seashell patterns at the edge of the sleeve. she is wearing a red hibiscus hairclip and a lei. the squiffer is recolored to have a blue, green, and yellow palette, with the cleaning bottle decal featuring three red hibiscuses layered on top of each other. underneath the squiffer, is director's commentary from ash, who made the lagoon!whiffy design in universe. it reads as follows: "guys imma be real. the only reason i'm in this contest is because minatoast got on his knees and begged me to draw whiffy for him LMAO. you would be surprised at how quickly he agreed to pay for my groceries for the week 🤣 " "i tried designing this while eating at beau's bakery with minatoast. and let me tell you that was the biggest mistake LOL i could not get anything done he's so distracting 😭😭😭 bro would not stop yapping!!!" "i went for a jog at the beach after hanging out with him. and it was PEAK. the sound of the waves crashing against the shore is so calming that i could finally lock in and draw something." "lesson learned: if no one got me, i know the beach got me. 10/10 😎"
