A list of all tabling artists in the stamp rally. (See alt of first image for bsky tags) It shows table G05 as the starting table. Each artist is framed in a box that resembles the level selection UI in Side Order

AVCon 2025 Alley of Order Map of AVCon's Artist Alley, styled to look like the Side Order floor transition screen. The entrance to the hall states "Wayville Entrance" and resembles the vending machine floor icon. Six tables are highlighted with colour chips: B12 - Salaryman Jamm G05 - Chenonetta Creations G06 - Rosethelise I06 - Voxollous I10 - Kaeojay I12 - leaflens

Sticker sheet reveal for our Side Order stamp Rally at @avcon.bsky.social!

It's been amazing to work with all these talented artists and we're so looking forward to seeing you at AVCon!

Sometimes I dunno if I should tell my opponents that my terapagos has been hitting into their physical defense all along and that they should stop trying to snarl/struggle bug/spirit break it.

I really want a puzzle game of some kind, like a picross or deduction thing!

I'm looking up game footage for art references and I keep getting old @werster.bsky.social videos.

Ok I found something to cobble together from old surf control bits, actually this code was kinda neat I just wish I was good at making it comprehensible and shareable. Would have made things much easier for myself trying to look at again, for sure!

what's the point in writing code for personal projects when it can be rendered asunder so easily.

Thought I could quickly hack some old code into a usable state for a different project but it's all been a complete mess of just trying to make stuff compile. Would probably be... okayish on the computer it was written on but it's starting to feel like I should've gone for a more do-over approach :S

I am ridiculously excited for my next #StampRally - a #Splatoon themed rally for @avcon.bsky.social's event in July!

Visit tables, collect colour chips, fill in your Palette, then claim a prize pack containing a bunch of #SideOrder themed stickers from the generous and amazing contributing artists!

Trainer card for "Alecat", Trainer ID: 000. A team made up of Froslass, Electrode, Infernape, Honchkrow, Nidoqueen and Milotic is displayed alongside a photo of this account's owner.

This image is 15 years old.... shout outs to AVCon 2010

Just loaded up my Diamond save (shout outs to the DS that still had battery) and am very disappointed to find my gen 4 competitive team has extremely lacklustre IVs.

Also, "what's with the copious numbers of freshly hatched weird mons in my boxes"
Nico: "Egg moves?"
Me: "oh right, egg moves..."

Mock tableturf card for the Splattershot Jr. The Inkling character is posed like the ad from Splatoon 2 that advertised the enlarged ink tanks for the Jr. family of weapons.

Watercolour painting of a pair of Inkling and Octoling characters from Splatoon playing a board game. They are each dressed in kimono. The characters are playing on the tatami floor by a window, and yellow light streams into the room.

These tableturf-inspired pieces were born out of a collaborative art project I hosted - artysiege.github.io

The Tatami Turf piece is one of my favourite works, partly because it's also vaguely a Chihayafuru-inspired fanart.

I’m glad we met, and I’m especially grateful we met through Splatoon. I reflect sometimes that I don’t think we would have clicked as friends under different circumstances or with a different common interest.

Squid game was the right piece of the puzzle.

I’m now at a point where I can look back on it with fondness. In some ways, the only way I could get here was thanks to time passing; so now I appreciate the “scale of time”, too.

We’ve talked a lot about this over the years, the yearning and the grieving and moving on, and I’ve deeply appreciated those conversations. As far as the “point” of it, maybe it’s as simple as something to fill our time with. It can hold as much poignancy as you want, truly.

Ink drawing of the Splatoon girl mascot from Splatoon (everything in this thread is "from Splatoon"). She's holding a splattershot gun. It's quite scribbly, on account of being drawn while waiting in line at the PAX demo!

Laser-cut and watercoloured cutouts of chibi Marie and Callie.

Watercolour illustrations on two wiimote covers, featuring the inkling boy and girl characters

Digital painting of an octoling drumming on a taiko drum. He's brandishing a pair of wasabi, and has a glowing green X scar on his arm. he's wearing a golden octopus headdress. The imagery suggests this is DJ Octavio.

Happy ten year anniversary, Splatoon! Here's some of the fanart I've made over the years 🧵

Starting with stuff from pre-release and the 1st year!

Alecat, 2nd April 2025 posted in a discord message. “I tried leech seed caly-I and pagos before coming to my senses” There’s a laugh-react emoji.

I can’t believe Leech Seed Caly-I is meta now. Just goes to show team building is about more than just slapping a single move on a mon.

Entering Eurovision after collecting all four thangs

I have just been made aware of Australia's Eurovision entry involving a giant blender and the Splatoon-pilled part of my brain is having a moment.
