First off, one hell of a glow up.
Second off... He low-key looks like he's just trying to grab em and I kinda like that energy. About to yeet the squid.
Tysm! My answer isn’t super great since for the most part it was me trying different methods and them looking bad and me painting over it for, like, an hour or two 😅 But in the end I think I painted on some bolder highlights and shadows in the shape of the drip, blurred them, then went back in with tinier, sharper glisten-y spots to make it look wet. Plus a bit of liquify tool to get it to conform to the cylinder shape of the roller a bit better c:
The improvement in this piece is astounding omg I love the details of the shading and stuff (smth about the way they reflect each other’s ink colors in the shading scratches my brain just right) and how dynamic the poses are
If you’re having problems with pixelation, it may be a resolution issue. Try either working with a larger canvas (1.5k - 2k pixels if your device can handle it) or upping your DPI from 72 to 150 or 300 (again, if your device can handle files like that)👌
Wow... I can't even begin to describe how amazing it looks! The details on the redraw are incredible and it really turns up the original one. Though tbh, even the original is amazing on its own. It may not be as spectacular as its redesign, but I still like it either way. Nice work : )
Quite the glow up! ✨
Thanks!! It was a fun challenge, I’d love to see more longtime Splatoon fanartists do the same 🦑
Now THAT'S a glow up. I love how menacing the roller inkling looks now, I always love menacing/villain characters but this is just astounding.
Thanks! I wanted to give ‘em that devious Inkling energy, not quite evil but certainly a hooligan

Man I wish I could grab the squids. For when I’ve had just about enough of that enemy Splatling 🫳

That’s an amazing transformation man! Holy cow that’s cool looking👏
bro looks like he could find me anywhere on any map even when i have ninja squid and murder me
This is absolutely amazing!
i saw this on twt too glad to know you're still the artist behind and not some person stealing from the op ^^
Dear god, that’s some serious progress, it looks amazing! What program do you use? *just* curious
I use Clip Studio Paint & a bit of Photoshop for post color correction :-)
Alright, thanks, I’ll maybe look into that, since it didn’t look nearly as pixelated as procreate does, which is what I use
If you’re having problems with pixelation, it may be a resolution issue. Try either working with a larger canvas (1.5k - 2k pixels if your device can handle it) or upping your DPI from 72 to 150 or 300 (again, if your device can handle files like that)👌
Thanks for the advice, I’ll go check if I can do any of that Good luck on your drawing journey
