my new mascot, Haz ⚠️ and friends Drum and Chanel

been brainstorming some new brand identity stuff for myself this year to try and lean more into my love for graffiti and street/construction signage. created these little freaks in the process ‼️
a small cone shaped character with 4 legs 4 of the same construction cone character lined up in a row. their colors change from the classic orange, to hot pink, to light blue, to blue-black a page full of various graffiti and construction/street signs drawn by Bugs. there's a one way sign, 4 hello my name is stickers with various tags, a road work ahead sign, a construction worker warning sign where the worker has been edited to look like a graffiti artist, several hazard signs, stop signs, road bumpers, and then the cone character with two other cone characters in different shapes. one is shaped like a traffic drum or barrel, and the other is shaped like a traffic channelizer

why do i only draw letters now?

a sort of rant comic about where i am with art. my beautiful, evil muse. been furious about this lately
a sketchy beginning comic panel with no dividers. bubble text at the top is in various graffiti styles, spelling out the title "why do i only draw words now?". the other borderless panels feature bugs' sona sitting and talking. his speech bubbles read: "i don't really like drawing lately. im super frustrated about it. i used to do it all the time. i used to be 'good at it'." the comic continues. the first panel has a full body of bugs' sona standing, saying "...but that's not rly true, is it? I'm not 'bad' at art NOW." the next two panels feature him working out at the gym. text overtop reads "if i skip a week at the gym, I'm not 'bad' at working out when i come back. i just gotta work a little harder to get back to where i was before." the last panel goes back to him sitting, with a sketch of a brain behind him. "brain's a muscle. hand's a muscle. art's a sport, lol. I've been playing a lot of those (esports) lately, so maybe framing it that way will help." the comic continues, with much better structure and style. bugs' sona talks and sits at the top, with a drawing of his stylus beside him. "my skill is still there, it's just kinda... buried?" the stylus drawing is now covered in dirt. bugs is then pictured above the dirt with a shovel. "i guess i gotta start digging." the panels open up to a large sketch of bugs' sona posed like a dress-up game, with his old outdoor next to him crossed out and new clothing items floating next to them. he goes on to say "at least I've been taking the time to really reflect on my goals and how to reinvent myself as an artist. it's like the kind of transition moving to a new place has. stressful and annoying, but also refreshing—an opportunity to discard the old and start anew." a mostly empty page with bugs' sona in the middle, slamming his table. "i really hope the annoying part is over soon, tho."

sorry for video the long way but heres a comparison of flight times w Stealth Jump

player 2 player jumps w no qsj versus 2 subs (standard build). flight time for both s-jumpers doesnt change at all, no matter the distance

tried with max sub pwr up beakons too. looks like SJ massively overrides it

really cool to notice -- getting aura and then picking up rainmaker keeps the movement buffs. excited to see if people start using rm to try and kill to farm aura for easier rm handling....

these new Splatoon changes are a step in a mystery direction but one thing is abundantly clear. the addition of Flow Aura will undoubtedly make it way more complicated and difficult to explain the game to your parents and/or coworkers
