Hi hii, sorry for the late response, I don't usually check this. but of course! Though DMs are the quickest way for me to respond as a note for everyone

Check my Twitter/Tumblr for the artwork as Retrospring has yet to have a photo feature. My idea is a bit less of a "King Salmonid" boss and more of an Xtrawave boss, but basically it's a mix of Grillers and Seekers, where you have to find a boss among a buffet, some of the dishes have bombs and some have eggs, all the while snatchers and lesser's spawn from shore. The boss is a makeshift food cart of 2 Bosses, one running the cart and one throwing bombs from cart, you have to stun the runner in order to kill the thrower. I'm not really good at boss designs but I think it'd be really neat, plus I want more of that food themed stuff

Depends, but it's usually things that interest me. I usually just start off with one main idea/requirement and branch off of that. Like with Ikura and Kobe, my idea was a salmon pattern and packaged meat, while another OC like Wasabi could just be as simple as just starting with the hairstyle design, then continue with that. It's really just a spur of a moment thing.

Slammin' Lids. The fact that the name is a little play on "Salmonids", that they're UFOs and that they have a little ladle to thwack you off of them is everything in my life. I also love riding off into the distance with them when the wave is over. Big Shots and Steelheads too, but it's mostly because there was a small wave of artists drawing them romantically, it's silly and cute.

I don't really have pet peeves for designs, anything is fair game, especially for others. I don't care, but if I had to pick one for designing myself, I hate designing shoes. But I hate drawing shoes in general, so I suppose that would be obvious.
