I decided to give the Squid Sisters a go through SFM and I ran into something I didn’t expect.



As seen in the above image, I wasn’t expecting Callie (and by extension, Marie) to be… well, quite tall. O_O;

This makes my plans for them to be a bit trickier, but hopefully not too tricky. Anyway, I guess I should cut to the chase and go into explanation mode with those numbers and colored asterisks.

I’ll start with the easy one, being the Player Inkling. I had this post by @hydesdm​ to @searching-for-bananaflies​ bookmarked for personal reference for when I decided to draw my own squids, and that’s how I got the five foot marker. The sunken scroll mentioned would be the fifth scroll.

As for Callie (and by extension, Marie), I took multiple renders of ‘em along side the Player Inkling, measured their heights in pixels and cross-multiplied using the info I had on hand and the numbers averaged out at 6.5 ft (give or take an inch). However, the reason I flag this as inconclusive is that I’d like to see their heights in-game, and therein lies the snag as I don’t have the game yet. Though current plan is to get it during the holidays. However if I hit a snag there, I can continue to simply spectate a random streamer via Twitch.

Anyway, based on the streams I’ve watched and the Miiverse posts I’ve seen, the best time to catch the Squid Sisters outside their studio would be during Splatfest. I missed this month’s Japanese Splatfest, but there’s still the US and EU ones for this month. When that happens, I’m gonna scrounge the respective Miiverse communities (which ever gets their Splatfest first) and hopefully find the right set of screenshots, namely of which being the Player Inkling being as close as possible to the trucks, while at the same time having either Callie or Marie being visible. Based on what I’ve seen on various streams and the Miiverse, the truck that Marie dances on is the one closer to the ramp so I might get better results there.

For the time being though, I’m gonna get back to those Arnick renders for @tamarinfrog​.
