Inkling made entirely out of Legos / From Tary’s Twitter: @nobu_tary
Everyone is talking about Nintendo’s newest TPS (third-person shooting) game Splatoon that has sold over 145,000 copies in its first week of sales.
The uniquely colorful visuals of the Splatoon world and all its poppy characters have plenty of fans from around the world. Of course, a number of special fans have taken their passion into their own hands and created various pieces of 2D and 3D art related to the game!
Let’s take a look at some of the most inkingly awesome and squidtastic fan art!
Buckets of Love for Splatoon!

We are not entirely sure what kind of parts were involved in this piece, but this fan has made their own Inkling using only Lego blocks!
My lack of a Wii U system is the only thing stopping me from playing Splatoon. It doesn’t stop me from making this weapon though.http://t.co/Cxln3GzAwg">pic.twitter.com/Cxln3GzAwg

Here is the versatile and highly popular Splat Shooter in Lego form!
Letting Inklings Swim Through My Nails
It’s been awhile since I decorated my nails based on a video game!
The Splatoon colors are too cute☆☆☆
And of course my Inklings are 3D!!

Here we find a smart and sophisticated Inkling picking up a perfect pair of shoes from Shrimp Kicks, a store that also appears in the game! Absolutely beautiful!

The Squid Sisters, top idols of the Inkling world, turn around to give us a glimpse of their beauty!

We are not entirely sure why but Inkling Girl is surprisingly satisfied after being deep fried to a crisp together with Store Manager Crusty Sean of Shrimp Kicks!
This is to commemorate my purchasing of Splatoon.
And while I was working on this my rank went all the way up to 10 http://t.co/KlssFrMOb2">pic.twitter.com/KlssFrMOb2

Our Inkling finds herself on a tendon accompanied by an unknowing squid who experienced a similar fate. This picture is really too dangerous and far too appetizing.
Showing Off Character with Hats
Just like Animal Crossing, the hat customization and design feature of Splatoon seems like a ton of fun. http://t.co/0r9voZvwSZ">pic.twitter.com/0r9voZvwSZ

Character customization is only one of the thrills of Splatoon! The game might become even more entertaining if we had as much freedom to customize and design as we do in the Animal Crossing series!
Something about this Inkling tells us that we might be under attack very soon...

Here are Jotaro Kujo and Noriaki Kakyoin from the third part of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure! Now, will they find themselves in a Stand Battle or a Splatoon Turf War?

And this is also from the third part of the JoJo series.
The frightening battle scene featuring the Joestar Group and their archrival Dio, as Dio attempts to drop a road roller on top of Jotaro, has been altered just a little so that Dio can wield not just any simple roller, but the most powerful Splat Roller in the game.
This special roller weapon is amazing when it allows you to squish your opponents, but can leave you feeling unbelievably down when you find yourself flat on the bottom!
With so much stealth and such a great variety of weapons to choose from, it makes you wonder if Snake is going to make an appearance somewhere. http://t.co/v9k40R2SO2">pic.twitter.com/v9k40R2SO2

From the stealth series Metal Gear, Snake leaves his cover and enters the colorful Splatoon battlefield.
Just like how he appeared on Nintendo’s popular action game Super Smash Bros. Brawl, we won’t exactly be surprised if Snake suddenly rises from the paint and joins the war.
However, as one of the stealthiest and most skilled shooters around the world of video games, Snake might just be a little too powerful for any color to handle…

Here is a surreal four-panel comic that brings befuddling elements of the puzzle game Puyo Puyo together with the colors and characters of Splatoon. It must feel great to be able to erase all of that ink at the same time!
Bonus: Octopus
Felt like drawing some https://twitter.com/hashtag/StevenUniverse?src=hash">#StevenUniverse after watching https://twitter.com/JimmyWhetzel">@JimmyWhetzel 's Splatoon stream so here's Garnet ✧・゚: ✧・゚: http://t.co/N77fc65BlT">pic.twitter.com/N77fc65BlT

This is the Octoling, arch-enemy of the Inkling. She is here and ready to use her elite and ultra-poppy abilities to strike players in every way possible!
