A colored sketch of a comic panel ft. El Rey Calamar and Cecilia. Rey Calamar is in his usual attire, while Cecilia is wearing a merchandise Rey Calamar shirt and a cropped black jacket over it. The main panel shows Rey Calamar holding Cecilia's hand up to his face. He bows and gives her hand a kiss while winking towards her. He says to her, "Mmm... You're so beautiful, Cecilia... Maybe next time, I'll invite you to the ring with me". The background is a generic pink gradient with soft white halos and sparkles surrounding Rey Calamar, similar to that of a romance manga. The bottom right corner shows a jagged panel of Cecilia's reaction cutting into the frame. The background is black and white, with speed lines surrounding Cecilia. She is wide eyed and blushing in disbelief at Rey Calamar. She thinks to herself, "HE KISSED MY HAND?!".

The same panel but with the dialogue translated to Spanish. Rey Calamar says to her, "Mmm... Eres tan bella, Cecilia... Sera pa la promixa, te invito al ring con migo". Cecilia then thinks to herself, "SE BESO MI MANO?!".

His Number One Fan~💚💜

Cecilia certainly wasn't expecting her celebrity crush to do something so bold and on Valentine's Day no less, but she's not complaining 🤭
Who knows what a certain someone might be thinking right now ;)

Two rough sketches of different scenes in Madrid's life. The top sketch shows a teenage Madrid (pre-transition) with a teen Antonio and Guadalupe (a tealish Inkling with swept back tentacles, with two large ones on the sides). Guadalupe is holding Madrid's shoulder, as Madrid puts his arm over Antonio's shoulder. Madrid and Antonio smile at each other, while Guadalupe looks confused. The bottom sketch shows present day Madrid, and his adopted son, Jack (an emo looking blue Octoling). They are playing a video game (presumably Smash Bros.) on the couch. Jack looks hyper focused on the game (and is winning). Madrid looks in disbelief that he's losing so quickly to the teen.

Rough doodle of Rey Calamar and Máscara Cerulea. Calamar looks downwards with an irritated look, while Cerulea stands behind Calamar, looking in the same direction with a surprised look. The bottom text reads: "Don't talk to me or my son ever again."

A 4-panel mini comic featuring each of the Kings of the Sea (Rey Calamar, The Angler, Leviathan, and Máscara Cerulea) on each color coordinated panel. The top dialogue box reads: "What are your goals for the new year?" The first panel shows Rey Calamar, with a determined smile as he clenches his right hand into a fist. He says: "I'm gonna keep getting stronger and keep inspiring my fans! Everyone is counting on me... and I'll never give up!" The second panel shows the Angler, with a serious look as he folds his arms together. He says: "I need to work on regulating my emotions, and achieve inner peace... I won't let my anger control me anymore." The third panel shows Leviathan looking up curiously, as he scratches his chin with his left hand. He says: "I want to socialize more.. and communicate better with my teammates. I can't help but feel some lingering tension between me and Angler..." The last panel shows Máscara Cerulea, looking excited with stars in his eyes, as he holds both his fists up. He says: "I'm gonna keep honoring my mother's legacy! Los Flors and I are gonna lead this future generation of wrestlers to greatness!"

New Year's Resolutions~★

The Kings and their honorary Prince have big plans for 2026 and beyond!

Rendered illustration of Rey Calamar cosplaying as a Shiny Mega Hawlucha. He is shirtless and wearing black and red sleeves with golden accents resembling the arrow on the front of the mask. He's wearing black and red pants resembling Hawlucha's plumage. His cape is black on the outside and purple on the inside. He has an Ultra Ball on his right hand and a shining Hawluchanite embedded on his left glove. He has the same golden crest and mask resembling Mega Hawlucha. He is smiling at the viewer. The Mega Evolution symbol appears left of Calamar in the golden and purple background.

Happy Halloween💜🖤💛
Rey Calamar always goes all out with his cosplays, but Shiny Mega Hawlucha was too perfect for him :]
Chances are he's gonna wrestle in cosplay too 🤔

I forgot to tag as #elreycalamar I'm gonna crash out,,,,,,

Two colored sketches of my Splatoon luchador OCs. The topmost sketch shows a bust of Máscara Cerulea with Pikachu Libre (Pikachu in an orange and black luchador outfit) on his shoulders. The two look happy to see each other. The bottom most sketch shows Rey Calamar and Máscara Cerulea cosplaying as Mega Hawlucha and Pikachu Libre respectively. Calamar raises an eyebrow at the kid, while Cerulea looks disgusted. Their conversation follows: Cerulea: "Cal I'm gonna be real... This outfit doesn't suit me..." Calamar: "Aww.. I think it looks great kid!" Cerulea: "Orange is NOT my color, and the top makes me look like my mom... Now Máscara Cerulea doesn't even make sense in this context"

Now its Máscara Cerulea's turn💠
Adding on to the previous art cuz I just love combining my fixations,,, and I wanna show more of his dynamic with Calamar sjdfhsjfs :]]]

A colored sketch of Rey Calamar and Mega Hawlucha posing intimidatingly towards the viewer. Hawlucha is mid flight with its wings spread out. Calamar is kneeling while holding his champion belt and tossing an Ultra Ball in the air. The background is reminiscent of the Trainer Battle screen from Pokemon X and Y.

You are challenged by Champion Rey Calamar! 💪

It had to be done, I'm just so damn excited about Mega Hawlucha and the CMLL collab and everything,,,

A doodle page depicting Splatoon OCs wrestling in motion. On the bottom left is Rey Calamar in the middle of reverse suplexing The Angler. Both wrestlers have an intense look in their eyes. On the top right is Máscara Cerulea in the middle of a regular suplex against a new OC. This new OC is muscular and slightly taller than Cerulea; he has tanned skin and red eyes with hollow, white pupils. His hair is a messy, asymmetrical straight cut with sideburns; his left ear is slitted at the bottom. Unlike the other wrestlers, he does not wear a mask. Instead, he wears red body paint of a dripping X symbol over his right eye and his left pec. He wears black shorts, wrist braces, and knee-high socks layered with red knee protectors that have a white X symbol on them. His boots are black and white, with a red fire pattern around the middle. Cerulea and Zane look at each other in anger and animosity. On the bottom right is a close up headshot of Zane, as he boasts an egotistical smile while looking down at the viewer. The top left reads in all caps: RIVALS NOW AND FOREVER

Zoom in of Zane's headshot.

Destined Rivals🔥

We have Rey Calamar and Angler's classic rivalry, but we also have a new rivalry between Máscara Cerulea and Zane: a rudo who thinks he's better than you and wants you to know it
I really liked how it turned out :]

A colored sketch of Rey Calamar and my Splatoon sona. Calamar is wearing a white leather jacket, while looking pissed off at my sona. She's looking up at the luchador, looking equally pissed off while holding a Nintendo Switch. He tells him, "Calamar, can you lock the fuck in-" only to be interrupted by Calamar yelling, "YOU'RE THE ONE WITH THE CONTROLLER!" My sona replies with a simple, "Not my problem."

Usually Rey Calamar is amazing at Turf War, but he was so washed yesterday AND he can't play Rainmaker for shit
I dunno what happened 🤬🤬🤬

A collection of doodles ft. Rey Calamar The first is a doodle of Calamar being cornered by Naki in his Kraken Royale form. Calamar anticipates an attack, only to be met with a crushing hug from a huge fan (literally). The second is a doodle of Calamar looking shocked to be next to Starwalker from Deltarune. Starwalker stares nonchalantly and says, "THESE MAP ROTATIONS ARE PISSING ME OFF" The third is a doodle of Calamar holding up a small, self-made doodle of my Splatoon sona. He looks proud of the drawing.

Same illustration as before, but Rey Calamar's outfit is changed to have the trans colors. Light blue replaces the purple area, pink replaces the yellow areas, and white replaces the orange areas.

Doodle of Rey Calamar, wearing a branded purple apron with yellow lettering that says "Kiss the Champ" with a crown with thorns logo under it. He's also wearing oven mittens that look like his wrestling gloves. He's holding up a plate of cookies, away from a Smallfry salmonid sitting on the countertop and smiling at the wrestler in anticipation. Calamar has an annoyed look on his face.

Magma doodle of Rey Calamar 🦑👑
I asked for a prompt and the GC to draw him baking cookies, in branded clothes, while avoiding Little Buddy and I delivered 🫡
He will never escape the "Bad at Salmon Run" allegations cuz they're true :]

Template by ChaoticTravis A 4 page chart showcasing Rey Calamar over the course of a year, with his very first concept art on the 1st page, to his most recent reference image on the 4th page with corresponding dates (May 2024 - April 2025)

The big guy finally managed to get my account back! Hopefully he didn't break anything while I was gone >:/

Either way I'm gonna post his old photos just to mess with him lol
Still this is crazy improvement in just a year 🤭

A flat colored illustration of a passing conversation between my Splatoon sona and Rey Calamar (now wearing a white compression shirt and missing his gloves and bands) as they're sitting on the floor. The dialogue reads: Cal? Hmm? What's up kid? Do you ever wonder what would've happened if you didn't exist? That... sounds really existential kiddo - why this all of a sudden? I've just been thinking, y'know - it's been... a whole year now since I created you.. And it kinda set a whole buncha things in motion for us... The reunion. The realization. The breakup. Everything... Do you ever wonder what could've happened to me if I hadn't made you? Do you think I would've become a worse version of myself?

Continuation of the conversation, now turning light-hearted. The dialogue reads: I think... you're overthinking again kid. Maybe you shouldn't focus on what could've happened, and focus on what has happened It was painful, sure - but you made it out stronger and more genuine than ever! I'd say you should be proud of how much you yourself have grown in the past year! ...Yeah I guess you're right about that, hah... Still I really don't know how things would've went if you weren't here... so thanks for existing. You really did change my life "champ"! Heh, don't give me all the credit! You're the one that did all the real work! I'm proud, and you should be too! Alright, alright, I get your point!

Hard to believe it's been a year, but I'm happy to help the kid deal with everything that's happened to him - the good and the bad times. She's been much happier recently, and we both can't thank everyone enough for all the support 💜💛🧡

Illustration featuring Rey Calamar with my Splatoon sona taking a selfie together. My sona has his arm around Calamar's shoulder in order to reach his height. The luchador is holding a peace sign. A white border surrounds the edges and a signature is on the bottom right corner of the artwork. It reads "Tu amigo - Rey Calamar"

Autograph from the Atlantic King himself 🦑✨
I wanted to make very self indulgent art for my birthday since Rey Calamar means so much to me 😊(and his bday/1st anniversary is coming up on the 12th)

A short comic ft. Rey Calamar, Afro, Turfer, Naki, and Hariod. Afro looks up at Rey eagerly, saying "Rey Calamar! I heard you're pretty strong! Please let me fight you sir! Calamar has his hand on his chin, looking at Afro curiously, saying "You wanna challenge me, huh? I like your spunk kid! Sure, ill give it a go! Turfer's face is on the far right, cheering excitedly for his friend. "YEAH! YOU GOT THIS!" Naki's face looks concerned, but happy nontheless. "I have faith in you!". Internally, he's thinking, "(He is screwed)" Hariod's face looks genuinely concerned for his friend, staying silent. A text box reads "45 Minutes Later..." as it transitions to the next scene. El Rey Calamar has Afro in a tight headlock on the floor, as Afro struggles to escape his grasp. Their back-and-forth conversation follows: Rey: "Ya give up yet kid?" Afro: "AS IF! I CAN TAKE IT!" Rey: "You're keeping up pretty good!" The bottom right caption reads: (Rey Calamar still won in the end, RIP Afro)

Bonus doodle I did as thanks to MJ since he got me a Toyhouse invite^^ thank you again✨

A reference sheet of my Splatoon luchador OC, Rey Calamar. On the far left depicts a large, muscular, dark skinned man with a purple and yellow luchador outfit with orange and white accents. His boots and arm bands have yellow tassels hanging on the ends. One hand is rested on his hip while the other hand is pointing upwards confidently. Small star doodles decorate around his head, along with a trans flag to his left and his handwritten signature on his right. Slightly below shows a note saying "Without jacket", since this is his outfit without his jacket on. In the middle depicts more details on Rey Calamar's outfit, including a backside view and a side view of his mask and pants patterns. His tattoo of a crown with vines surrounding it is shown on the back of his neck. An enlarged version of the tattoo is shown to his right. His color palette is shown at the bottom, with a note next to the pure white color saying "Add (Glow)" On the far right is a purple and yellow logo with white outlines that reads "Rey Calamar". A white box is below the logo and reads: He/Him | 6"7' ft. (200½ cm.) | 37 years 203 lbs. (93 kg.) | May 12th World Middleweight Champion of Tidal Wave Wrestling for ~5 years Rey Calamar, nicknamed "The Atlantic King", is one of the most well-known and beloved luchadors in Inkopolis, Splatsville and other international spaces. As a técnico, his charming, kind-hearted attitude and determination has made him a hero towards young and old fans alike; his acrobatic feats and physical strength are beyond impressive, and his rivals fall to his show-stoppping finishers. He is also the Captain of the "Kings of the Sea", a recently formed trio at TWW. Not much is known about his personal life, like most luchadors, yet there have been a few seen individuals that are seemingly close to him.

The same reference sheet from before, now showing Rey Calamar with a purple, sleeveless jacket with yellow arrow patterns and orange accents. The jacket reaches down to his knees and the shoulder blades of the jacket are sharp and layered.
