Me: "Awwww ye! Sonic on his way to a special stage!"
Also me: "Awwww ye! Missed an emerald. Time to reset the game!"
This is a wonderful tribute to Vector's sidekick, Sonic, but now I'm curious about these other anniversary pieces you mentioned... this bonus Cami content you've kept to yourself.
Hate that bonus stage. Absolute definition of trial and error. (doesn't help knowing that it got added in last minute during the development of Sonic 2)
Ask nicely and you shall receive. :)
Alright. You got me. I haven't played Wonder so when I saw you added Yoshi on Mario's back, I thought that was a thing. I looked it up to discover the opposite and that he's an invincible "easy mode" choice alongside Nabbit, as well. A shame you can't just switch between those features for everyone to allow players to use their favorites.
I think the concept is neat on a first playthrough, but I am unsure of whether or not I would still find Wonder charming once I've seen all the wackiness. Mario games are generally quirky anyhow, but it's not their selling point, so it worries me a little to buy it. Elephant that spits water doesn't sound like a mechanic that can carry this title's price tag. Plus, I have no interest in playing with other... people.
Man, I wish this art was true. Yoshi deserves to be carried around for a change and Mario's expression here is perfect.
Well here's a surprise for you. I've yet to play the game too. I technically made this doodle by the time the game got revealed, purely as a joke because it was funny to think that the dino would get to be the rider for once... on the plumber even. Role reversal pretty much, except less weird.
I'm still thinking whether I should buy the game too. Although mainly because there are other offers out there that peeked my interest (gotta hold my wallet to make my choices you know?)
Still though, it does look quite intriguing. Not once did I see any videos or even screenshots from it that could be spoilers either, so I might still be able to play it blind.
I think you could still play the game alone, I don't see why Nintendo wouln't provide other options.
Taily must be the most patient and supportive listener. I'm surprised Kinuyo only has the one ferret, too. Every trait you listed just screams "crazy ferret lady" to me. She has so much to say yet only a single tiny pair of ears to take it all in.
Is this suppose to be your idea of a prelude to the story of Splatoon 3? *looks up Veronika* Dafuq is a Splat Tim?
The backgrounds are fine. Not sure I am spotting the issues who are, since nothing from them really stand out in comparison to your delightfully expressive Veronika and fish pal thing. Small fry? I love the interaction between these two. Usually, an artist doing the occasional strip will minimize the panels to emphasize the few moments that they really want to highlight, but you got each one being represented with two or three panels apiece. Makes the entire thing much easier to play out in my mind as I don't really have to fill in any gaps.
You don't know who SPLAT TIM IS?!? That's it, I give up, I'm leaving this place permanently, I can't deal with this constant ignorance anymore!1!
Pretty much so. Or it could be a small excuse to show more attention to the cape that Veronika wore once. (seriously though that's seen in the character customization part and NOWHERE ELSE)
Now that I'm looking at these, yeah. I still think there are a few rough spots here and there, but they seem to have turned much better than how I initially thought. Same with the panels too. Comics like these are usually pretty hard to nail down, so I gotta thank you for that.
A small fry is pretty much a smaller variant (annoying to deal with but easy to take down) of the Salmonid species, which are only fought in Salmon Run. Give a look at these crooked beings, they're look goofy in a rather terrifying way. Their whole deal is that they're a barbaric army who vow take over everything they see, and also, they literally don't mind about dying whatsoever because they regard that as "part of the cycle of life" and use these weapons to make themselves look "tasty". Pretty appropriate.
It's alright. A little bland. Just by including a pair of simple lines above them, you could have added some eyebrows to allow for a few more expressions like sadness or anger. Maybe include a wink, a squint, or even had the pupils dilate as they face the viewer directly. Seems faithful to the original with its eyes but are you required to be that straightforward? Maybe slip in some of that Teo unique creativity.
Thank you for your feedback!
Edit: I modified the animation. I hope you'll like it!
First of all, the summer is great. We all love the summer... I love the summer. I'm all that matters, however there is now too much summer (entering mid-November and it's still in the 80s here!) and I will agree with May of 2023's version of Cami that it sucks. Difficult to appreciate something if one is constantly exposed to it.
Secondly, I love when you provide us (by "us" I mean "only me") with your SatAM versions of the Mario cast though I wish you did more with Mario... have him interacting with Yoshi rather than standing beside one like a prop.
Excellent display of both the front and back of Yoshi and the yellow one looks like he's either gripping a pair of invisible suspenders or preparing to do his impersonation of Foghorn Leghorn. Red Yoshi looks like official art I'd expect in the SMW instruction manual. Very cool (unlike the summer of 2023 for Cami).
Thank you for including the Galoomba, Seems like a somewhat perfect mascot character to add to all your art.
I should take this more seriously but the guy has such a cute face.
Mind providing some context to this for me? I feel like I am missing a lot here.
haha, it's always the cute ones causing the most trouble

Not in the picture - the trees providing those orange leaves in the grass. Mah'nah's actually looking at them and preparing to give a stern talking-to about not littering.

Perfect! Ten out of ten! Your other five stars for my rating will arrive in the mail shortly (or not). Now, we just need Nintendo to step up and also experience the "anguish and despair" for how little representation they've provided for Captain Syrup. They need to give her the Pauline treatment with a fresh look and add her to some crossover titles. Overall, it would be more representation for the Warioland series, too, which I'd like to see a new entry for in the near future.
Can I get some extra starbits to go along with these too?
The girl has last appeared in Wario Land: Shake it! (pretty looking game, too unfortunate not many people got to enjoy it because of the constant "motion control" propaganda during the Wii era). 17 years is too long of a time, but then again, Pauline also took her time to properly appear in Mario vs Donkey Kong series (then as a mayor in New Donk city in Odyssey) since her reimagining in GB Donkey Kong. Before that, she was only know as... "Lady"... and had blonde hair and a pink dress (at least that's what she looks like ingame, she does have the signature red dress but still has the blonde hair and that's only seen in western flyers I think).
So I'll say it again, there's not enough syrup.
This is a thing the idols do in the game, isn't it? You wave at them and they wave back or pose with you or whatever? If they didn't that'd be a waste of having prominent idols in a game to begin with. I had to look up the reasoning for why it is called "CALL13" day and, wow, that is quite a stretch just to give a holiday to the other (arguably better) Squid Sister. *checks notes* ...yep. "Squid Sister." I wasn't sure if that was just them or a general term for squid people.
Are the inkling feet really that much bigger than Callie's or are oversized shoes a style choice? Other than that silly question, there's no issues with this. Basic poses with your excellent facial expressions. Another new food from these games is shown here. Meatballs? Animal feed for that fish pet looking up at them? Some kind of gift that Callie gives the player?
I think that's reserved for the amiibo function. With an added recent addition that *spoilers* (even though it's a one time event that has passed for about a month), they can let you revisit the Grandfest (the finalfest for Splatoon 3) concert. It's almost like in OG Splatoon where you could sit down and listen to their music, but it's slightly more improved since well, there are 3 different concert stages with all 3 idol groups with nearly all the music provided (including the last day's song "Three Wishes" in which, well, I'll just let you listen to it on your own instead of telling you my thoughts upon hearing it when it rolled).
Besides that though, they CAN be present in in story modes as either NPCs with quirky dialogue (Callie and Marie), ones that would occasionally reward you (Callie) or actually help you with options through progression (Marina) depending on the role.
Must be Twitter thing or something else related, idk. I think there was that one person who set up days for nearly each idol (couldn't find Bigman's so of course someone else did). I only joined in because it was a good opportunity to make character centric drawings, even though looking back on it, I feel I probably could've done it on my own at any given time. Then again, V3ctober is arguably the better day. heheh
(a Callie fan I seeeee... that's alright, I like her over Marie too even though she has green for ink)
Yeah, they tend to wear big shoes. The garment variety is kind of crazy to say the least. They even allow them to put on welding masks and still be told that these looks fresh on them. Granted, I remember the one time were some were joking about how noodly Acht's (Dedf1sh) feet would be because of how awkardly long the shoes where. (even though I don't think they're THAT long, but sure, whatever, people tend to come up with crazy stuff anyways)
Power eggs. These are the ingame currency only found in either Hero Mode or Salmon Run (the other being Coins for Turf Wars where you can buy Gears after). These seem to have an even larger role in 3 though. Fuzzball's (basically roadblocks) would need variable amount of power eggs to progress, which Lil'Buddy here just so happens to need them.
