Where is Lil Buddy? [SFM Splatoon]

New Agent 3 has been trying to find Lil Buddy Lately. Where could Lil Buddy be hiding or doing??
I've included quite a bit of other Splatoon Animator in here, tho some of them don't have the correct gear since I couldn't find it in my SFM folder so I had to pick something that at least matches it. So do apologize for that.
Also for those wondering why Shiver's face is black, SFM errors .

Nice splatoon animation :3

You were in the video

I see you in there

The legend is here

[@KRiS_815]

Dang, Little Buddy killin' it on stage. Looks like we have a new idol in town.

[@kinzint1514]

If Lil Buddy is a new Idol, I don't think his kind would be too happy bout it

[@KRiS_815]

@@kinzint1514 What if they get inspired instead. Then more salmonids would try to integrate to inkling society like with the octolings.

[@kinzint1514]

@@KRiS_815 I can imagine that happening after Splat 3 Story's Event. Tho it might be bit hard for both side to make peace with each other considering the damage Inkling/ Octoling done to the Salmonid

[@jaggerguth4391]

Shiver: A new WHAT?!?

[@kinzint1514]

Sorry Shiver, your group is good but lil buddy's da best

[@rebeccafons6679]

I love the fact that you animate their ears. Ear wiggles are such a cute detail that so many animators don't take advantage of

[@kinzint1514]

Agreed, it's small but it adds so much more personality Imo!

[@dransnake]

HE'S DOING HIS BEST AND I APPRECIATE HIM FOR THAT

[@kinzint1514]

LIL BUDDY'S DA BEST

[@ChristianoLord9]

I like how 4's not questioning the fact on why DJ Octavio was there. In the end, the last time we've seen 4 was after they kicked Octavio's ass

[@frescodipomeriggio647]

He was bad but now hes good 👍

[@theellio64]

​@@frescodipomeriggio647 makes no sense, but yeah it actually does

[@Mouse_Lyne]

They squashed the beef 🤝

[@animegirlsfan02]

​@theellio64 it because he helped the new agent 3 while little buddy transform into big buddy to fight Mr Grizz or help out. Then dj octovaio (sorry can't spell his name right) help you and use his weapons to defeat Mr Grizz.

[@aliekberugural2391]

Wat is wrong with Shiver's head?

[@SkippyIsFunny]

First, the animation is INCREDIBLE. I've never seen such a great lighting as well as animation in SFM before. And the amount of detail put into this is awesome. Like how at 0:53 you can see DJ Octavio has a Squid Sisters Amiibo and at certain parts you can see the OTH and Deep Cut. This is a top tier animation right here.

[@kinzint1514]

Thanks so much for the compliment! Lots of love was put into this project of mine

[@Lyra-s_NOT_Agent_ShadeLOL]

@@kinzint1514 -Why is Shiver's head not the right skintone? Just curious.- Just read the description and I feel stupid.

[@kikog9599]

DJ Octavio just being part of the squad now brings me unreasonable amounts of joy

[@atransidiot]

little buddy's calamari inkantation gives me life

[@loremipsum7601]

I can see New Agent 3 steals other Agent's gear Such as; Former 3's shoes, 4's jacket, and even 8's ink tank lmao

[@kinzint1514]

Guess you can say they had spare items xD

[@CraftingGummi]

New 3 gets a LOT of hand-me-downs, apparently. Get my homie something new for once.

[@BlackHoleQueen]

I was just happy that agent 4 actually showed up. Edit: wow I’m actually a top comment now!

[@mystic5175]

Ikr

[@frescodipomeriggio647]

Deserved Cameo

[@ultrawoomy]

I love how Neo 3's Hero Suit is just a mash-up of the previous agents. She's got Captain 3's boots, 8's ink tank, and 4's jacket.

[@ultrawoomy]

And the rocks face

[@SeerOfTheWest]

8 and Octavio looking at memes at the end us the best small detail I could ask for.

[@legoboy7107]

This has got to be some of the loosest SFM Splatoon animation I've ever seen, and I mean that in a good way. It looks so different from most, barely any of that particular kind of stiffness to it that a lot have, that I almost thought it was something other than SFM if it weren't for the title. Great work!

[@wolfnik2596]

Lil buddy really said: Look at me, we are deep cut now

[@H.Audio7272]

I literally started crying as soon as little buddy started singing! This is so wholesome and sweet! Also, the way you you animate the little, subtle details is beatiful! This is amazing!

[@kinzint1514]

Thanks for the kind words ^-^

[@H.Audio7272]

@Kinzint you're welcome! I've been playing splatoon for a long time now and it makes me happy to see people who love the Fandom just as much as I do. Plus, I'm a sucker for detail so, your channel is right up my alley! Keep up the fantastic work!!

[@zerovene_]

1:49 shiver used a little too much spray tan

[@RinTheSpaceAce]

At the end. 8: omg Octavio, you HAVE to see this video. Octavio: haha, nice.

[@AlvinNguyen2008]

The animation was very fluid and It’s very adorable that Agent 3 was very proud of Lil buddy and the audience were dancing as he was singing along

[@littlemissrandom7744]

AWW seeing Captain 3, agent 4 and 8 is such a nice touch 😭❤️

[@derpycows671]

This is one of the best Splatoon animations I've ever seen-things just kept getting better and better! Great job!! 🦑🐙

[@zekroman96]

How is nobody gonna talk how Shiver just changed skin tones on the end of the animation bit before the end reel

[@ComedyEstudios]

Wow this is one of the best SFM animations I’ve seen this year.

[@CoffeeBeanzYT]

LITTLE BUDDY'S SINGING IS SO ADORABLE 😭

[@jaggerguth4391]

Shiver: Pfft, its not.

[@Snoozefry]

I can’t tell you how wholesome this video is. Smallfry will be the cutest thing ever and no one can stop him from singing! Amazing animation, keep it up!

[@EffanyCo]

I imagined something exactly like this would happen when i first discovered that lil buddy can sing the opening theme for calamari inktation, Little did I know that was something that I predicted without knowing.

[@kinzint1514]

Heh, nice

[@randomrats451]

2:08 Shiver, you okay?- You seem like your about to kill someone-

[@mademoisellenoire3654]

WHY IS SHE BLACK

2:29 This is honestly amazing, Callie and Marie watching Little Buddy, 8 showing Octavio things on her phone while Octavio looks confused, and Captain 3 buying Ice Cream for 4 (I headcannon them to act like siblings with 4 being the annoying younger one)

[@tillyisshort6286]

Little buddy singing calamari inkantation is something I needed in life

[@robertolebron2296]

It’s sad that the Squid Sisters disbanded. They’re now the Squid Sisters and Bud

[@KurumiTokisakiNightmareSpirit]

Never knew DJ Octavio model was that huge...

[@kinzint1514]

Maybe I should've scale it down a bit more, woops

[@1_railfan]

So cute!! Lil' buddy stole the show!

[@stoopid4724]

damn i did NOT know octavio is that massive

[@flameblade3]

My favorite detail is how you used Spicy Calamari Inkantation and not the 3MIX version because Deep Cut isn’t around and it’s just Octavio and the Squid Sisters

[@Geiz01]

Nice work! I love the animation 😊 And I see some familiar faces 🤔

[@YoshiTails13]

That's was adorable to see! Great job with this animation!

Very nice animation very smooth and clean and lil buddy singing the cutest part

[@VexxilVapors]

Ii'l buddy going to be going on tour with a performance like that. Nice job with the animation, though you may want to focus on making the transition of the movements a bit smoother since they jitter a lot. Making them lose a bit of realism. We some SFM errors, don't we XD. (Shivers root was probably just left underground which caused the issue) Keep going strong, and don't forget to feed li'l buddy too ^^

[@kinzint1514]

Woah! Surprised to see you here, thanks for the feedback! And don't worry, li'l buddy's in good hands ^_^

[@TRONkhfan13]

is it weird that I kinda want a Splatfest where Deep Cut go on vacation, so Callie, Maria and DJ Octavio host?

[@AzzaDarklord5]

Wow ! This is so clean and fresh ❤ Amazing animation 🎉

[@Nintenguin]

Dude this SO smooth! Looks better than the game itself! Amazing work. Also I like how hair moves in this animation it’s very good.

[@kinzint1514]

Holy really? :0 Tysm!

[@MoeDaScout]

Oh you add my character thank you

[@PretzelPython]

The animation is SO. GOOD! I love the story, lil buddy is adorable. I imagine that one day in Alterna while agent 3 was doing something else Callie and Marie were with lil buddy and were like "Hm, I wonder if I can teach the salmonoid to sing." so they gave him singing lessons every day. It's funny how a lot of the story mode characters don't have much of a story or personality (with the exceptions of Callie, Marie, Cuttlefish, and Captain 3) and even captain doesn't have much of a story. I'm glad the Splatoon community has kind of given personalities to the agents and lil buddy with animations and art like this. (Seriously Nintendo, Lil buddy backstory WHEN?)

[@kinzint1514]

I can imagine that happening after Splatoon 3 Story Events, just Callie and Marie coaching Lil Buddy signing lesson it's wholesome and adorable to think about :D
