Are you a kid or a squid? Surely these words haunt even the toughest Splatters and annoy the unacquainted.
Splatoon is Nintendo's unexpected shooter, full of squid puns as far as the eye can sea and a growing phenomena in Japan. Here, I show you the greatest catches I could find in the ocean of fans and cosplay enthusiasts.

From the Tokyo Game Show itself, come two Green Inklings dressed up in the Hero costumes from Splatoon's single-player campaign mode.
Would you look at those guns and that hair? While the two Squid Kids remain unknown for the time being, they'll forever remain one of my favorites with how awesome and cohesive they managed to get the tentacles with the hair.
Straight outta Inkopolis!

The Squid Sisters Callie and Marie pose for the camera!
Maybe it's the sparkles, or maybe it's the smiles that seem so in-character and make this shot stand out. Whatever it is, it's brilliant and looks natural!
Both outfits were lovingly made by deviantArt user Mostflogged, who can be found here. The person posing as Marie can be found here.
