EDIT: Since I've made yet another custom squid kid, I figure I'd just make this the tread where I post any custom squid kid. I've also organized this post a little better (hopefully). Had to edit some of Raspberry's information since the new squid kid is related to her, haha.

CAMILLA:

  • She designs and makes her own gear, then has to get it approved.
  • Any electronic piece of gear like headphones, is not built from scratch.
  • She goes to the same school as Raspberry, and is in the same class.
  • Her preferred area is the middle of the map. While she's not as athletic as Zinnia, she's a great decoy, and Ninja Squid and Swim Speed abilities make her tough to trap or hit.
  • Most likely to retreat to a safe spot when she sees a forefront player in need of someone to superjump to.
  • She plans on getting into the fashion industry to design gear.
  • Her default non-combat ink color is a light, creamy beige, seen here
  • Dating Zinnia
  • Looks like she could kill you, but is actually a cinnamon roll (outside of combat, anyway).


RASPBERRY:

  • Frequently looks tired.
  • Her tentacle clubs are a bit longer than usual, so she ties them up and curls them upward slightly at the tips.
  • She feels most accomplished when she outwits a Kraken.
  • She prefers not to engage an enemy directly until she has unloaded at least one full special during Turf Wars, but is more aggressive during ranked.
  • She lives in Flounder heights with Zinnia, in one of the smallest units they have available.
  • She doesn't talk much, sometimes giving the impression that she's stuck up.
  • She prefers bow ties to the usual uniform's ties.
  • She prefers to hang back until she knows Camilla has cleared the area. She usually carries a Heavy Splatling or a Charger, but will occasionally use a roller.
  • Looks like a cinnamon roll and is actually a cinnamon roll.

ZINNIA:

  • She's the most athletic in her team, frequently making some dangerous jumps.
  • Despite looking less focused than the other members of her team, she aggressively pushes towards the enemy base without making use of the Ninja Squid ability.
  • Like Camilla, she prefers shooters like the .52 Gal Deco, and uses her specials to cover her advance and hide her movement.
  • She specializes in holding opposing team members off at their base, and will not call for help from her teammates, preferring that they hold the middle in case someone manages to sneak around.
  • She is two years younger than Camilla and Raspberry.
  • Is currently dating Camilla.
  • Out of her teammates, she's the one that studies the maps more carefully, and can pinpoint spots where each of them excels.
  • She frequently breaks DJ Octavio out of the snow globe so she can record the spicy wasabi beats and take them to Camilla.
  • Looks like a cinnamon roll but could actually splat you.


Anyone else got little details/stories behind their squid kids? Or am I just a giant dweeb? lmao.

She's so cute! I love her character!

I'm one of the sad people who's actually designed a whole team because of the gear available. Normally, I play as my character Pastel.... which is also what my name in game is at the moment. Though I'm not using her gear because I'm addicted to ranked at the moment.

A cool little thing with Pastel is everyone in her family is named in some sort of arty way. She has a younger sister named Palette and an older sister named Canvas. Her pet is even called Acrylic.

Love it! I'm pretty sure the only reason I don't have a squad is because I'm pretty single-minded when it comes to weapons. Maybe someday. ;;

I love the theme behind the names, too!

Pink bow tie HYPE!
Absolutely!

Thanks. The only way I decided on gear and weapons is how the the characters are on personality and what gear looks cool, functions with their role and fits the use of the weapon.

I actually should think about drawing them.....
 
I love it!

If you opened a commission like this for a squid kid I would so buy omggg he would be so perfect. Idk why I didn't think of this before... ><
 
I'm glad you like it! =D

My current commissions are US cash only at the moment, but I'd definitely like to draw a squid kid, haha.
 
Sketches like that are usually $10, +$5 for color, but it can depend on the level of detail since that affects how much time it takes me.
 
Considering some of the things squid kids carry (like rollers with heavy metal pieces) I'd say they're pretty strong anyway, but otherwise = lots o' weights.
 
omg earrings, i always add them to inkling drawings. i dont get how thats not an item yet tbh, theyre so popular
 
So are pants,haha.

I'd be down for some non-ability gear that's just there to look cute. They probably want to focus more on things that actually affect the tide of battle, though. Maybe later down the line!
 
okay can i just say that like all of these are super adorable but i'm in love with camilla? i love her design omg. the art of all these characters is so nice.
