Squid Girl’s Masahiro Anbe Sketches Splatoon… Again.


After a successful sortie on the Nintendo front, Squid Girl is back to inkvade the surface world!

Yesterday, Squid Girl creator took to Twitter with a new sketch of his adorable ocean emissary. Eagle-eyed fans will notice, though, that the spunky Squid Girl’s received a bit of a makeover.

This time around, Anbe drew his squiddly character in the style of Splatoon‘s Inkling characters. She stands, splattershot in hand, ready to inkvade like a pro.

This is just the latest in a long line of crossover pieces by Anbe. The ink-redible emissary from the sea crossed currents with Nintendo’s Inklings, though. The squiddin’ sentries also met in a crossover event between Weekly Shonen Champion and gaming mag Famitsu.

Anbe drew a series of images that feature the titular Squid Girl going tentacle-to-tentacle against the Inklings in a Turf Battle. You can check them out below:

Most recently, Squid Girl staked her squiddin’ claim in Nintendo’s Splatoon. Squid Girl’s costume was released as free downloadable content in the game earlier this month, as part of a major content update.
