Click the sprite to go between slides. I got nothin better to do and I need to get myself back into designing characters, so yeah :) Btw you can find the more high resolution sprites in the project if ya need em. I had a lot of fun with this and really tried to make their designs as unique as I could while still sticking to the original concept. I may or may not add extra art later on, but for now I'm just gonna post what I got. apologies, scratch kinda kills the quality.
LOOOORRREEEEE: Scorch: ✦ Female ✦ Cuttlefish (Tropical Bottletail Squid) ✦ 21 years old ✦ Forge Splattershot Pro ✦ Born and raised in the Splatlands, Anarchy bay region. The area is fairly well known for it's fishing and tropical fruits. (Many of which typically end up at Hagglefish Market) ✦ She has pretty large extended family who all live in the area, and is fairly close with a few of her cousins. ✦ Grizzco had one of its first locations near her neighborhood, and she would work there part time over the summer as a teenager. She gained a bit of an interest in the salmonids culture from this, and especially their music. She started dabbling in various music genres and grew a particular love for the bass. ✦ As she started making her own music she started playing in venues and cafés and gained a small cult following. Alot of her early adult years were spent doing this in Splatsville. Mirage: ✦ Female ✦ Octoling (Dumbo Octopus) ✦ 24 years old ✦ Ballpoint Splatling ✦ Born and raised near Octo Canyon, in a community surrounding one of the Great Turf War craters. Her grandparents served during the Great Turf war, and along with many, chose that they didn't want to go underground when it was over. Instead, many rebuilt small communities that surround the Great Turf War Craters. They continue to prosper, but with a lot of struggle for housing with it's increasing population. ✦ Mirage lived a fairly modest, but comfortable childhood. She was homeschooled for a better part of her life, so her main source of social interaction was from attending practices with her communities choir. She also learned to play piano. ✦ In her early adult years she decided to move out, seeking work and education to support her family during a time of struggle. Octolings were still a bit of an anomaly in the Inkopolis region, so she decided Splatsville was her best option. She ended up finding part time work as a barista. How they met: Scorch would frequently play at the same café that Mirage had just been employed at. Mirage typically worked late and Scorch typically left close to closing time and would occasionally strike up conversation with Mirage. Eventually these interactions became very common and Scorch started staying after hours to chat with Mirage, and eventually frequently walking her home. Scorch started showing Mirage demos of new music she was working on for critique, and after she helped her with modifications on a few of her songs, Scorch proposed the idea that they start making music together. She agreed and they started realizing albums together. Their fourth album release was when they blew up in popularity, and were requested to start doing news casts in Cephalocity.
