🎨INK THEORY🎨

Wanted to draw one of my favorite bands form splatoon!! I wanted to draw them like they were modelling in a magazine spread!

urchin blast, btw

I haven't seen anyone else do it before, so here's every line of dialogue from the characters in Alterna. (Atleast, every line that I could find. If I discover more, I'll update the post) Some of Cuttlefish's dialogue in the Crater repeats in Alterna. I've marked the ones that repeat in bold. All dialogue gathered after beating the main story and After Alterna. Dialogue under the cut, it's a long post:

The Crater Cuttlefish: • "I've said it before and I'll say it again... Ink before you think!" • "You eatin' well these days? Don't go into battle hungry, y'hear?" • "You can't spell WIN without IN, and you can't spell INK without IN either. Just sayin'." • "That Fuzzy Ooze is trouble. Don't touch it unless you wanna spend the next 10 years shavin'"! • "Go on, now. Give those Octarians a fresh coat of paint for me!" • "(Ugh, my achin' back...)" • "... ... ... GYAH! I wasn't sleeping. That was just tactical eyeball moistening, y'see?" • "(I sure wish someone woulda told me about moisturizer when I was younger...)" • "(Yesterday's lunch was mighty tasty. Maybe I shoulda brushed my teeth a bit more carefully...)" • "It's nice that you got your li'l buddy with you throughout all...this." • "How can I help you, Agent 3? Need another pearl of wisdom?" • "(What I wouldn't give for fresh crabby cake now...)" • "When you're throwin' Smallfry, hold down [R] and take your time. Know before you throw!" • "Don't let steel grates and fences ruin your day. Press [ZL] and squidaddle right through 'em!" • "When all of this is over, maybe we oughta think about some security for the Great Zapfish..."

Future Utopia Island (Squid Sisters Camp) Agent 1 (Callie): • "You were like a rock star out there fighting in space! And Smallfry was your backup dancer!" • "Don't be shy with your ink! Splat everywhere, fill up your [Upgrade Point] gauge, and you'll get Upgrade Points!" • "Agent 2 doesn't think I should drive the rocket. But what do YOU think, Agent 3?" • "Hey, do you have a favorite Squid Sisters track?" • "Did you know you can jump back to any previous kettles directly from the menu?" • "Ooo! I had something else I wanted to say, but I forgot. Don't you hate that?" • "Have you been upgrading your Hero Gear? Could come in handy, especially for golden kettles." • "If they can dehydrate Gramps, surely we can REhydrate him somehow...right?" • "You're "supposed" to sneak behind the shielded Octarians, but I like to just BLAST 'em!" • "Just to say it out loud... Thank you for joining the New Squidbeak Splatoon, Agent 3!" • "...Wait-did I say that already?!" • "Let's get this show on the road, shall we?" • "Wait. Did we have this exact conversation, or was that all just a dream..." • "The more Fuzzballs and Fuzzy Ooze you destroy, the more you'll fill up your [Upgrade Point] gauge!" • "Who would've thought there'd be ANOTHER rocket?!" • "Oh! But maybe I told you that already..." • "You'll need plenty of power eggs to register for the missions inside silver kettles. Keep 'em handy!" • "Hey, is it snack time yet? You hungry?"

Captain (via Agent 2): • "Hey, Captain! Captain? You still with us?" • "Just overheard the Captain feeling nostalgic. "I remember when Cap'n Cuttlefish gave me this hat..."" • "New orders! The Captain says, "Go get Agent 2 a latte." Nah, I'm kidding. Although if you see one..." • "Rule of the battlefield from the Captain: "The first enemy you see is usually a scout."" • "Rule of the battlefield from the Captain: "Don't sleep on your sub weapon. It might be just what you need!"" • "Hm? Captain? Did you say something? Oh. Guess not..." • "Rule of the battlefield from the Captain: "Ink before you think..." Wait-is that backward?" • "Rule of the battlefield from the Captain: "Swimming on a wall? Hold [B] to do a Squid Surge. Don't stay still!"" • "Quick update... I just overheard the Captain say, "Wow! There's a LOT going on in the New Squidbeak Splatoon."" • "Hey, just checking something. Can you hear the Captain's voice?" • "A quick tip from the Captain: "Sometimes defeat is the best teacher." I feel like I've heard that one." • "Rule of the battlefield from the Captain: "Always have a safe place to retreat to before you start shooting."" • "Rule of the battlefield from the Captain: "Always keep one eye on your escape route!"" • "Rule of the battlefield from the Captain: "Don't let your guard down just because you're at the top!"" • "The Captain says, "Get your gear in gear. Battle can come at any time!" Good advice, I say!" • "Rule of the battlefield from the Captain: "If things get too hairy, duck behind a wall and take a breather."" • "Rule of the battlefield from the Captain: "If you can't push forward, try pulling back first."" • "Rule of the battlefield from the Captain: "When it's do-or-die, you can always count on your Splashdown!"" • "Fresh wisdom from the Captain: "The best victories come from not having to fight at all!"" • "Rule of the battlefield from the Captain: "Keep an eye out for bombs in odd places. You never know!"" • "Rule of the battlefield from the Captain: "Use [Right Stick] to look around! Keep that head on a swivel!"" • "Rule of the battlefield from the Captain: "Always look both ways before you cross.""

Agent 2 (Marie): • "Have you noticed that the walls are meant to look like the sky? Just like in the Octarian bases!" • "You think being the boss is fun? Then you can review these Deep Cut expense reports..." • "If your Hero Suit takes a hit, into the ink you must get! Is that how the saying goes?" • "You'll need plenty of Sardinium to upgrade your gear, so keep an eye out for it." • "That look in your eyes... I know someone else with the exact same look!" • "(It's so awkward when I run out of things to say. Save me, Callie!)" • "(I wonder if Agent 3 can sing... We could use a BACKUP backup vocalist...) • "(What am I, the spokes-agent for everyone?)" "(The Captain could chime in once or twice, if you ask me. Yeesh!)" • "(I did not dress appropriately for this apocalypse...)" • "(Wait-why am I standing? I could totally sit down.)" • "I wish I could read all of the strange writing around here..." • "Gramps sure is spry for being so...well...dry." • "You'll check in on Agent 1 every so often, won't you? Just so I don't always have to do it..." • "(Ooo! I just thought of a great idea for a podcast.)" • "We've gathered all kinds of data, but nothing prepared us for what was down here..." • "I'm here if you want to talk about anything with someone who's barely paying attention." • "What do you like to do in your spare time, when you're not splatting or being splatted?" • "(Mmm, I could really go for a slice of pineapple pizza, hold the pineapple...) • "(Is Callie getting this much small talk?)" • "(I could use a vacation at the end of this. No, wait... A leave of absence!") • "You've turned out to be quite the Agent 3, Agent 3! Very nicely done." • "Who is running Grizzco Industries these days? It's business as usual, even now!" • "It's so smart how they preserved vegetable life down here! (But they should have let tomatoes go extinct.)" • "You're not the first Agent 3, Agent 3. Once upon a time, Gramps recruited the Captain!" • "If I'm twirling my parasol, that just means I'm thinking." Cuttlefish: • "You know you can configure the doodads and whatnots on your Hero Gear, right? Look at the menu!" • "That look in your eye... it's still the look I was looking for. The look never lies!" • "How's that Hero Suit treatin' you? You ever get around to washin' it?" • "Heh heh... Still can't believe ol' Octavio turned out to be not so bad. That rascal!" • "Didja know your gear can give Smallfry an upgrade too? And doesn't your li'l buddy deserve it?!" • "(Still not sure how they sun-dried me while I was underground...)" • "(Oof, my achin' back... At least, I think that's my back...)" • "This aint so bad. But I miss my tropical shirt! Think I can get one in XXD? Extra-extra dehydrated?" • "It's nice that you had your li'l buddy with you throughout all...that." • "Whaddaya like to eat these days, kiddo? Food? Are kids still eatin' food?"
