The drop

Cartoon squids, painted on Ink.

Inklings are painted cartoon squids, not pixel art.

A 5,555-piece collection of looping ink-wash squid PFPs on Ink, Kraken’s Ethereum layer 2. Each Inkling is stacked from six painterly layers — paper, bloom, visage, gaze, mark, and adorn — then flattened onto one 16-frame GIF. Dye drifts. Eyes blink. Tentacles sway. Soft edges only.

Minting on Ink (chain ID 57073). Gas is ETH.

Supply: 5,555
Possible combos: 69,120
Loop: 16 × 90ms

Paper

8 loops

Full-canvas ink washes — slow drifts of dye on handmade paper.

Bloom

5+ loops

A soft aura that sits behind the squid and breathes.

Visage

8 loops

Eight cartoon squids. Mantle, fins, tentacles, one shared breathe.

Gaze

6 loops

Big cartoon eyes locked to the squid bob, with their own blinks and shine.

Mark

4+ loops

Wet ink on the squid — splashes, drips, and seals.

Adorn

5+ loops

Kelp, pearls, and ornaments that ride the same bob so they stay glued on.

How the stack works

Studio plays layers. The drop flattens them.

Each trait is its own looping wash. The studio stacks those files so paper, squids, and marks keep moving. Minted tokens composite the same 16 frames into one GIF OpenSea can list on Ink.
