Celebrate the RELEASE Of Splatoon 2!

Just like the release of Splatoon 2, this image I present today, has been waiting for a release for several months!  I couldn't have thought of a better opportunity to surprise you all with this art, than the weekend of the actual games release! I waited a day, cause, let's face it, every fan was hook for 24 hours yesterday, give, or take a few hours. Hee hee.  This is the very splat-tastic, inkredible gift that Leon De Leon (Urbanmusiq) sent me for my 40th.  I guess he wanted to show me that being an adult, didn't mean you need to stop inking turf. (What 38 was not an adult okay? :P)
The big hearted one from down under, really outdid himself.  A more adorable Inkling face could not have been conceived by Disney themselves.  A better body, not sculpted from the 3D model makers at Nintendo. Huge thanks once again to him for this.  I hope you guys like it too!

Here is a safe for work version...Though I think you might turn a few heads if you should this to your co-workers.

I am having fun with the game so far. It took me some time to get used to the controls. I really had to adjust the sensitivity of the right stick. It felt very wobbly for me for most of yesterday.  I got to play with Lastmanouthere.  We did a few Salmon Runs together! He is very skilled for someone that only played the original briefly!  If anyone wants my Switch friend code, feel free to send me a message here, or on my Tumblr.  I don't have any perfect gear yet, but I am gonna try to get some!

Here is some of my swag.  The pro controller is behind the Amiibos. I have not used it yet, but I did notice, as did a friend of mine, that the button used to ink seems to give out on the original every so often. I thought I was getting weak, or something. I am told the Splatoon one works much better.  I also picked up that ungodly head set.  I haven't opened it yet.  Ugh...I am dreading it. I can just see my ipod going flying after a bad match. :P  I got doubles of the Amiibos. I am planing on selling them to friends.  BestBuy sent me the girl one all bent to shit. :(

Cum Catching With Kagami06

Raise a chalice in celebration everyone! It's the return of Kagami06 on this blog.  It's also the return of Steko, a character we haven't seen around these parts in some time!  He's been given the honor of having drinks with ruler of the Dinosaurs.  Only one catch, he has to fill the cubs with copious amounts of cum!  Okay, so that's not really a catch for the young stegosaurus man. Missing any royal cum though, results in severe punishment. (Administered anally.)  As much as Steko would like to think about that monster cock penetrating him as a good thing, his terrified virgin ass is telling him, that this is not an entry level position for the prince to take. 

Super huge thanks to Kagami06 for doing this. He brought such power to the prince, along with so much expression to both characters.  The image would make a wonderful two page spread in a comic, or a poster in more liberal world. :P  His interpretation of the characters has got me physicked to do more with Prince and Steko.  Poor Stekos been left out for far too long.  I hopefully can get him to color this once I get enough funds together. (I had massive work done in my mouth this weeks, so I am hurting financially and physically right now!)

I have reason to raise the wine glass today as well.  I decided to play Rank Mode in Splatoon. I always play it when trying to get perfect gear. You get more points per match. Sadly, if I don't get perfect gear, I reload my save and start anew.  All my ranked points vanish, as well as the money. I've been sitting at around S50 for months now.  So, yesterday after getting a perfect re-spawn head gear and sitting at S60, I decided to go for S+ Rank.  It didn't take too long, or much effort.  Save for around S90 when the game pitted me against teams composed of nothing but JRs and Taks. Ugh...They need to nerf Inkzooka again.  4 of those things going at once is worse than 4 E-liters any day.
Anyway...I made it! Yeah, hail to the prince boys! XD And to hear people bitch online, you would think this was hard to do. (Okay ego, calm your ass.)

My set was composed of Special Savor Fang mask, PERFECT, Bomb Range shirt up with one Bomb Range sub and 2 Special Savers and Special Duration up shoes with two Special Charge subs and one Bomb Range sub. I used this for splat zones.  I can defend the zone at a safe distance and go to town with my bomb rush, keeping people at bay for a long time. 

 After obtaining this Perfect Quick Re-Spawn gear, I decided to go to town on Tower Control.  See the shirt in the middle? I had that with the final sub being a special charge up in another save.  I couldn't get it perfect, but I loved how it came out. I had to give it up, as I ordered these headphones on another USB. I kept the save and they came in with two subs. I couldn't pass up getting a perfect, which I got.  I feel shitty about letting it go, but Swim Speed is always sweet too.  Maybe one day I will get this perfect.  There is no denying how awesome a perfect re-spwan gear is, so no tears.

I pissed off a lot of people in Tower Control with this set. I die and come RIGHT back. There is no WAITING TO RE-SPWAN.  As soon as the message is about to appear, I am alive again!!! I wore the fuck out of the other team. Heavy Asian Accent: "LOOK HE BACK AGAIN!"  LOL such a horrible strategy, I know, but God it was fun.  Hey, if I wanted to be evil, I would have used a fucking Luna Blaster, or Roller for constant one hit kill cheese. 
So am I going to go for S+99?  Hmmm I doubt it. I will dabble in S+, but my heart belongs to Turf Wars.  I just adore that mode.  I don't like Rain Maker much, but I do like the hot mess that is Tower and Splat Zones are like mini Turf Wars.  Who knows?  When I hit B+ and then A+, I was going to stop.  Gotta chase that carrot, right?
You guys can add me in Splatoon. Just send me a message and I will tell you my user name. :)

Out Of This World Valentines

Hey guys, Happy Valentines day from a Galaxy far way. (NO not that one.)  The Galaxy Carlos is currently in is far from his beloved Christer Echo.  So today, he letting his imagination and his good hand do it's best to simulate the love of his beloved alien.  Hopefully your loves are not so out of reach.  FallenAngel drew this super cute picture below.  It was great to see him take on these tow again and so quickly too.  I wasn't out of my flu when I contact him about doing this piece a little over a day ago!  Dude is the flash.  Christers hair is super sweet.  FallenAngel and I wish you all the best this holiday. Even if like me,  your romantic plans involve watching Deadpool with friends! XD

Here is a second version, with a slightly different take on how the metallic circumcision scar meets the shaft on Carlos.

I usually have scans from Valentines I buy, but this year with the Canadian dollar continuing to tank, that's not happening. I do have some Flintstones Kids ones I could post, but they are not particularly great. (Comment if you want me to dig those up.) I did find these really sweet old school anime Valentines online.  Of course they are fan made. I also found a few Splatoon ones as well!

You can see the rest of the anime ones here.

Going out with a classic:

Gene Lightfoot: Hunky Animated Inkling NZapper

To comemorate my 1050+ hours of being sucked into Splatoon, I decided to ask a blog favorite Gene Lightfoot to please create an animated picture.  If I could personify my love for this game in physical form, then it would be no doubt Gene's picture of a bomb range totting Nzap 85 muscle hunk Inkling!  If only we could level up Inklings to look like this.  (A level 100 dream, that will never ever happen!!!)  This mocha inkling is spraying fabulous all over Inkoplois, thanks to Gene's wild imagination.  He's the only Inkling that can shoot 2 colours of ink as well.  Though, that second type is pretty sticky.  It's better used as a trap, than to try to swim through himself!!!  Thanks so much Gene! If you guys want to add me to your friend list in Splatoon send me a message on here, or in my tumblr!! 

Splatoon: Bomb Range Up! The Issue With E-Liters

Being someone who has played since launch, I had the sad opportunity of watching the game of Splatoon devolve into Snipertoon.  Sometimes when I pay, I wind up in rooms filled with nothing but snipers.  I could blame the fall of the roller and blaster in October for this, but I think the ability to rule over a map easily is the true poison that fueled their popularity.

There was a day, not so long ago, when there was only one sniper class.  Then another appeared and finally the entry that ended the true free spirit of the game, the day of the E-liter.  A broken mess of a monstrosity, that can kill at a baffling range, the E-liters have spread nothing, but fear and terror since they arrived.  One look at their stats in Sheldons shop would have any Roller mains knees knocking.  On top of their range they also have a sub weapon that can take out people that get too close, by simply spamming a button.  In some courses like Mahi Mahi, it appears to have no limits in it's reach.  Mahi Mahi also has sniper protections walls to hinder bomb throwing. Sometimes I really think the devs favor this class far too much.  (Not to mention how no brand favors Bomb Range up.  All this makes me raise an eyebrow of suspicion.)

When I first played the game, I was a roller main. The more I had to deal with snipers, specifically the E-liter, the more I wanted better range options.  Not to say rollers and the like can't take down a sniper.  They can.  But a good one?  Brother, you better pray to whatever God you believe in that they are not waiting for you.

I'll never forget the day everything changed.  It was just after the summer patch.  We were 3 vs 4 on a map, the NEW urchin underpass. Yeah we knew we couldn't really win, but no one should have to have gone through what my team did that day.  NONE of us had any long range options.  It was us vs two snipers, some gunner and a gold dynamo. Now I could have used my ink strike, true enough, but these dead eyes had us spawn camped. The other two on my team just kept running off the spawn and getting instantly killed. They had little choice else, unless they wanted to just stand and attempt to build a special.  The game can always feel a little unfair, but at that point it was totally broken.  FAIR was a concept furthest from what we were going through.  (As well as good game design.) If the snipers didn't get them as they fled, the no skill Dynomo would. Eventually I did use the ink strike and got them to move. Little good it did though.

That was the day a fire was born in me. A fierce rage started against all snipers.  One that was a very faint spark of hate, suddenly burned with the fire of the sun.  I started my quest to make snipers suffer. I wasn't going to be helpless anymore.  My bomb range and throwing skills would be perfected. On that day I started my quest to become THEIR worst nightmare.

I tested the limits of the ability after spending hours rerolling.  Little by little, I improved my range.  Guides and online faqs done by people that certainly had not acquired the proper gear said Bomb Range caps early on. I discovered that with three mains and 7 subs it was still going further.  Were the guides written by e-liters?  The same scum that asked for rollers to be circumcised?  I wonder. I have never seen anyone with perfect gear.  Right now all I have is my goggles perfected  What I have is good enough.  It throws about as far as an e-liter can fire and much further then a Kelp Splatterscope.

Since that day, I have had glorious sessions of making these assholes suffer.  I've even taken up the sniper rifle myself and found just how easy it is to use. (though I am certainly no master.) I wonder though, why they decided to add this class to the game?  Splatoon was far more fun before the E-liter.  Short to mid range weapon variety made everything function better.  Once they came on the scene, you always had to worry about being able to counter them.  Cause if you couldn't, could you count on other team mates to man up?  I have seen situations on towers, were people WILL NOT MOVE, even after the snipers are taken care of. They sit and crap themselves, because of the rain of death e-liters bring.  Something feels very broken about that.  Add hit scanning and Japanese lag into the equation and you have one broken weapon. Not to mention they can lessen their charge time by stacking damage up, which also makes their sub weapon over powered.

FallenAngel helped me create the wonderful propaganda poster above.  I want to spread the word.  There is hope to end their terror.  There are counters without having to resort to specials, or becoming one of them.  Join the heroes of the bomb range up brigade!

On the brighter side of Splatoon stuff, my Plushies came from Amiami today! Man, they are much smaller than I thought they would be.

LittleTLK Splatoon Roller Muscle

Hey! Remember up till October when Rollers where powerful and FUN to use in Splatoon? Yeah those days are all but over.  THANKS NINTENDO.  They don't realize that every time they nerf a weapon, snipers get a buff.  Pretty soon this game will just be about characters walking to the center of the screen and shaking hands.  Only snipers will remain untouched! 
Anyway, back in the summer, when the Krak-On Roller was my main, (First weapon to max back in July.) I commissioned this awesome artwork from LittleTLK.  The artists shared my passion for Inklings and Splatoon. I loved his cute hunky art and thought they would make a stunning combination on a male Inlking.  Though he has had very little time to play, or draw, he did find time to finish this muscle masterpiece.  The image makes an exciting start to the week and an eternal tribute to my once and only true Splatoon love, the Roller....RIP Rollers.  :( 
Actually I stopped manning the Rollers as a main back in July.  Why?  Snipers...If you played the game, you understand. :P 

You might be wondering why the sharp beak tooth is at the top, instead of at the bottom as it is in the game. I got the inspiration to ask LittleTLK to do it this way based on the original sketches found in the Splatoon guide book.  I think it looks better.  It's far more fitting for a squids mouth.

While it took a bit of time to come to be, it was worth the wait. LittleTLK was very great to work with. I can strongly recommend this artist for commissions!

Mr. Scarecrow and Mr. Crow Pop Up For Halloween

It just wouldn't be Halloween around here, if we didn't get our annual visit from Mr. Scarecrow and his lover Mr. Crow by FallenAngel. They've been spreading Halloween cheer and showing us that even those that should be mortal enemies can be friends and more!  FallenAngel delivers the goods once again this year with this sexy piece.  At peace in the pumpkin patch, far from prying eyes, these two can enjoy themselves all night long.  Those pumpkins look like they are snuggling in closer...Who can blame them?

This years image had a special bit of inspiration behind it. True, a character coming out of a pumpkin is a staple of Halloween images, but one in particular is very special to me.  The very first Halloween decoration I ever owned was a cardboard cut out of a skeleton coming out of a pumpkin.  I got it when I was only 5 years old and had it till I was in my early 20s. (At which point something happened to it.)  I decided to try to find it again and after months of searching I finally found and bought it on E-bay. Hanging on my door again, it brings back many wonderful Halloween memories. (Like how I used to get into trouble hanging it up on Oct 1st and how my boyfriend and I would give out treats at the door, scaring the kids, once we were too old to go out ourselves.)  

I have another awesome image to share with you guys tomorrow! I see Class Comics has 2 new Halloween books out as well.  Gonna have to look them over tonight with a cup of cocoa.  Tomorrow is the Halloween Splatfest in Splatoon.  Nintendo released some neat art for it.  Shame that none of the costumes, or even the Halloween theme will be featured in the game. Seems easy enough to implement, but you know Nintendo.  They are not gonna go the extra mile for one Splatfest. 

The did try to make it Halloween themed, asking what Halloween costume you would rather wear, Pirates, or Ninjas?  Dubbed the Naruto Vs One Piece Splatfest by many at this point, I think Ninjas are gonna be the most popular team. I went for pirates myself.  First off, I have far more interest in them than Ninjas.  Second and most importantly, their links to Halloween are abundant. (Three words Garfield's Halloween Adventure.) I guess I should mention how they are a better fit with sea creatures and how their plundering of a city fits the theme of Trick, or Treating better, but whatever. I am sure I will be on the losing team anyway. :P Who did you pick?
Happy Halloween and stay sweet out there Squid Kids, not salty!

You're A Squid Now, You're A Hunky Inkling Soldier Now!

Wow guys, have a got a supreme treat for all you Splatoon fans out there! (First though, ig shout out to all my peeps on team plane. We failed, but we had fun fighting each other right? XD Where the hell was team car? They drove away, too scared to face us!!!)
I had been requesting some hunky Inklings a few months back.  I had forgotten that, among the bevy of artists, I had asked Aneros as well.  The other day he e-mails me asking if anyone had drawn some sexy Inklings yet. I told him that yes Maduinshorn, Lastmanouthere and FallenAngel had done some epic pictures already.  He took inspiration from this and decided to draw up his visionary versions of adult Inkling paintball soldiers.  And man, oh man, am I fucking proud and honored to be sharing these wild images with you guys tonight.   Aneros went buck wild in his creations, adding suction cup scars to the hair and cock heads of these paintball battler boys.  Though I think those scars might have come from some extreme squid loving as well as battle. Someone had the passion of the kraken unleashed upon them!!! Now for your enjoyment, Inklings that would NEVER be allowed in a Nintendo game, all from the magical pen of Aneros!  

 Aneros wanted a very revealing outfit for the orange Inkling.  Since the game really doesn't have anything that is very revealing, he went ahead and created his own armor, based on paintball armor found in our world.  I think it looks amazing. I wish Nintendo would include something like this in game.  It goes perfectly with the games paintball mask.  It's a comeback mask, which could NOT be more fitting. Ah puns.

 Aneros admits to be so taken with Maduinshorns tentacle goatee, he couldn't resist using it on his blue Inkling as well! hee hee.

So how did your Splatfest go? I can't say I enjoyed it as much as the other times. I was hardly fighting anything, but my own team mates. Pretty stupid match making.  Felt like I contributed nothing.  At least I put my sea snails to good use.  I will show a few lucky examples. You gotta save these things to a USB first though. Spyke is a theif and it's all too easy to waste them all on nothing, if you don't.  For those that don't know, you get Super Sea Snails after the Splatfest, a one day event is over.  The amount you get depends on how your team does overall.  They can be used to increase the gears slots, or reroll them like a slot machine.  Rerolls cost $30,000 each, so you can imagine how valuable these little snails are.

 I got this after 2 rolls.  This is great for specials that take a long time to charge and could use a bit more time in special mode. I love it on my blaster and my NZap 85. Not bad for a roller, or 96 deco either.

 I used a 3 snails and these wound up leveling up naturally like this.  I am NOT a fan of defense up, cause lag can make a Splatter Shot JR a one hit kill, but I have say that I think it saved my life against a sniper once.  I got hit and took it. They probably thought they had charged enough to kill me.  A full charge still would have.

I love that it uses the Magic Shield from Zelda 1 as the symbol. 

 It took me 4 rolls to get this, but fuck it, I don't care.  That's pretty sweet.  A little bomb range up is ALWAYS welcome.  Well, unless I got my Octo-brush, or Krak-On roller out, of course. :P

I got this on order from Spyke.  The funny thing is, it only came with the first sub.  It leveled up the other two the same as the gear I ordered!!! That was lucky. I got lucky with some Ink Saver Main shoes like that too.  You can see the shoes in the Cold Blooded picture above. 

Check out this sweet remix of the final boss themes! 

Now chill to this calming rendition of the same tune!  I need to chill after enjoy Aneros's art far too much last night. No wonder my wrist is sprained...

So That Is Where The Ink Comes From In Splatoon

Hey guys, shortly after the first Splatfest was over, I got an enormous surprise reward from Maduinshorn. This cool sketch of a buff bara Inkling. (Complete with stylish tentacle goatee!)  Maduinshorn found the secret of where the Inkling ink really comes from! That tube up his dick looks surprisingly natural and very hot. With the next Spatfest featuring white ink in Japan, it will be interesting to see how many similar images to this will pop up online! :P

I just discovered this wicked song about painting the world, featuring the Splatoon cast.  Squid Melody by The Living Tombstone embodies my feelings of working with artists so perfectly.  A huge thank you to everyone!  Enjoy.

Adult, Buff and Nude, three mains the Male Squidlings Should Have!

Hey guys!  Yesterday was the Splatfest in the game Splatoon.  It was Marshmallows VS Hot Dogs. While Marshmallows one the game, I think Hot Dogs really won a victory, based on the image below! You wanna be pumped and ready for battle?  Wake up to this baby in your inbox.  Lastmanouthere's take on the male Inkling had my Spattershot going off more than once before getting out of bed.  It's not often I get that turned on, but his beautiful piece coupled with my love for this game (over 340 hours in) really had an effect! hee hee. Of course, the fact that his inkling is packing is own Heavy Splatling Gun, that anyone would want to see in action in game, also had an effect.  I can't thank Lastman enough.  This really got my fighting spirit  up and running. I was super pumped.  I kicked ass almost all day long.  Now if only these were costume abilities in the game!!!
I hope that you guys had a great day and for you Team Hot Dogers, hope this makes up for the loss! ;)

Below are some variants that Lastmanouthere was sweet enough to make! He must have been having fun!

Lastmanouthere's Inkling is based on the one I usually use in game. I sent him some images with the clothes I usually wear and the various weapons I like. I personally love the Krak-On Roller, but I also enjoy the two N-ZAP guns, the Heavy Splatling and if I want a challenge the Octobrush. My other real main is the Splattershot JR.  It's a beast in Turf Wars. Since I really don't play Ranked all that much, I feel it's benefit a lot more I guess.  Below are a few of the images I sent him.

Playing Tower Control?  Getter get some fast resurrection and steal jump gear on!

 This is my favorite gear set. I can suck ink back in like no bodies business.  The Invader hat really makes my special meter jump as well.  

So how did you do during the Splatfest?  I had a great time after midnight. I played with great teams till about 2 am.  In the morning, I had to go to EB to preorder the retro Amiibo set.  There was a lot of Splatoon talk in the line up. I guess I should have gotten some names to add to my friends list.  When I got back, I was pumped and played like a champ.  I think I lost all of one battle.  Sadly I had to go to a birthday party. While it was fun, it took up the majority of the day.  When I got home, I never really hit a streak for long, before being disconnected.  I kept getting matched with fellow team Marshmallow players.  They usually really sucked.  I actually felt pretty horrible for how bad we beat some of them.  Maybe they just didn't care?  The few rare times I found a hot dog team to face where a mixed bag.  Lag got me at one point and I was kicked out. Lord knows how my team did, but we were up when I 'left.'

 I am thinking of save scumming those sea snails....I am sick of wasting rerolls on Spike.
