After four years of being a ‘loves the series but can’t actually play it’ fan, I finally got myself a Switch and a copy of Splatoon 2 lately and have been thoroughly enjoying being humbled by Turf Wars and Salmon Run, because I am Bad At Video Games.
I like to do at least one piece of art for the Halloween Countdown each year, if not more, and as I’ve been on this Splat Kick I figured I’d do a piece using my in-game Inkling, Avex; a fresh faced teen squid with a lot to prove on the battlefield (and the stubborn nature to back it up). Pity he’s still picking up the skills one needs to get anywhere, eh? He’s not having a great time of things currently- in fact, he’s staring a particularly humiliating and painful Splatting right in the face. I mean, eight against one? That’s just not cricket, Jimminy (it’s also not even remotely game accurate but we’ll ignore that detail). Better luck next time, newbie; you’re gonna need it!
