Splatoon OC Maker features.
Inkling or Octoling
Choose the species before generating. Inkling is the default, with squid-like tentacle hair and connected dark eye markings. Octoling requests octopus-like tentacles with visible suction cups and separated eye markings. Check these distinguishing features when you review the result.
Your own streetwear design
Describe an ink color, outfit and personality to shape an original character. The preset uses bold graphic shapes, expressive eyes, oversized sneakers and a polished game-art finish. A simple pale background helps the silhouette and clothing read clearly without a busy arena scene.
Text or a reference photo
Start with a written idea, or add a portrait to suggest appearance, skin tone or glasses. The optional photo guides an adaptation rather than an exact likeness. Tentacle hair and stylized proportions will intentionally change how a real person looks.
Splatoon OC Maker, step by step.
01
Choose a species
Keep Inkling or select Octoling. The choice supplies the main hair and eye-marking instructions, so your description can focus on the character's colors, outfit and attitude rather than repeating a long explanation of the species.
02
Describe an original character
Write a compact brief such as 'teal ink, short tentacle hair, yellow windbreaker and white sneakers, cheerful waving pose'. Add an optional portrait if you want an appearance reference. Avoid requesting several separate characters in the same image for your first run.
03
Generate and inspect the design
Check tentacles, eye markings, hands, shoes and the outline of any props. Download the character art once the design works for you. Save your description too, so a later variation can reuse the same color and clothing notes even though results may differ.
Splatoon OC Maker use cases.
- Original character concepts
- Explore a character for a fan story, drawing practice or a personal character notebook. Treat the generated picture as a starting concept and record the details you want to keep. It is a flat image, not a rigged character, editable game model or playable avatar.
- Fan avatars and group themes
- Make a personal avatar or a set of related original characters with a shared ink palette. Run each character separately and keep descriptions consistent. For a profile icon, crop the downloaded image around the head while leaving the tentacle silhouette visible.
Splatoon OC Maker: best photos and fixes.
Build a brief around a few memorable details
An ink color, a clear hairstyle silhouette and one distinctive clothing piece are enough to establish a design. For example, combine teal tentacles with a yellow windbreaker and chunky white sneakers. Add a personality through the pose rather than a long biography. When every item has a different color and a complicated pattern, the important features compete. A short visual brief is also easier to reuse when you want to compare variations.
Check the species-specific features
Look at the tentacles and dark eye markings rather than judging only by the outfit. The species selector supplies different instructions for Inkling and Octoling anatomy, but the model may blend visual conventions. If the details drift, simplify the brief and explicitly reinforce the selected species in your instructions. Do not assume that a matching ink color alone proves the anatomy is right. Inspect the shape around both eyes and the visible tentacle surfaces.
Use a portrait as inspiration
If you upload a photo, choose one person with visible hair, face and glasses in balanced light. The design can carry over skin tone, face shape and recognizable accessories while replacing ordinary hair with tentacles. A group shot is a less useful reference because the tool is asked to make one character. Expect stylization rather than a faithful portrait: large game-style eyes and proportions can change the likeness substantially.
Keep outfits readable
Streetwear works best when its main layers are easy to distinguish: a jacket over a shirt, shorts or trousers, and a bold pair of sneakers. Very small badges, complex lettering and several overlapping straps can become muddled. The preset excludes labels and logos, so describe colors and silhouettes rather than relying on a brand name printed on the clothing. Check that sleeves, fingers and shoe shapes remain plausible after generation.
Treat variations as fresh drawings
The tool does not lock a character sheet or guarantee the same design across repeated generations. Save the result and the description when you find a design direction you like. For another pose, a reference image can help guide the next request, but tentacle shape, clothing details and proportions may still drift. Review each output on its own before assembling a set, and do not describe multiple independent pictures as a perfectly consistent model sheet.

Does an original character mean the image is cleared for sale?
No. Making a new design does not establish rights to a franchise's protected elements. This page does not grant a license from Nintendo or promise commercial clearance. Consider the applicable rights separately before using franchise-inspired artwork in products.
