About
Inklingification is the process of creating crossover art involving characters, real and fictional, reimagined as Inklings from the third-person shooting video game Splatoon.
Origin
Splatoon was released in various parts of the world between May 28 and 30 of 2015. Prior to the release of the game, several pieces of artwork were released featuring a crossover between the game and the manga series Shinryaku! Ika Musume, which may have sparked some inspiration for later fanmade crossovers.[1]
Precursor: Ponify
Ponification is the trend in which various characters are reimagined as ponies from the My Little Pony series. The trend caught on in late 2010 when the cartoon My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic became popular.
