My contribution to Team Octoling for Turf War Zine
Charity Art book, which raised money to give children's hospitals (nintendo) games!

This was inspired by how I think ruined Octarian world is like. The Inklings took over the surface with their capitalism, forcing Octarians underground. Inklings use all the resources, forcing Octarians to take desperate measures by establishing a militant socialist society. Octolings grow up fearing the Inklings and go to war because all the schools have been abandoned or destroyed. 

Or, Octolings are supersoldiers created from splicing Octarian and Inkling DNA. Really?
