Olimar - Blog Posts
Tried using my oil pastels I haven’t touched since 2017. They are so unforgiving but the drawing turned out quite nice
I brewed myself a cup of tea to help me feel a bit more like myself, and now I can't help but wonder what would happen if someone were to brew a tea out of a leaflings leaves.
Pikmin transporting unusual stuff (part 1)
This was made awhile ago, but I thought it would be cool if Olimar had to make a new suit from creatures around the area.
Woah! The President! I feel bad for only thinking about Olimar so I figured I should flesh out the president and what comedic potential he could have. I shall post more thoughts on him soon.
While I try and get into the swing of things after escaping the horror of college, here's an old drawing of mine about two years ago.
I was reading some Hey Pikmin notes about some of the amiibos, especially the animal crossing ones, and I have a big brained idea: Pikmin AU where Olimar ends up isekai'd to the Animal Crossing World.
He still wants to get home but has to settle down in this new dimension with his pikmin until he can figure out how to do it. And then the player villager arrives.
Have a project in the works but needed to go back and brush up on how I draw Olimar. Pikmin fever came back with a vengeance I'll tell you what.
Hello, I’m alive. And I crave pikmin content. Inspired by a drawing from @jasonlupas on his twitter.
Some more details under the cut
I don’t have a solid story for this, the Plasm Wraith just merges with Olimar. As far as how this form works, this is still just Olimar with his body now consisting of the Plasm Wraith’s material. What happened to the wraith’s consciousness? Well it’s a mystery.
But since Olimar is docile it makes studying the Plasm Wraith’s properties easier.
Olimar’s default form is similar to how he used to be, except with a hole on his face and his left arm is stubby. The form seems to be held up through some sort psychic ability. He can change his shape any way he wants, but it take cognitive effort. Not that he wants to.... This is especially evident when he goes to sleep, as his body just becomes an amorphous blob till he wakes. It’s not known why he needs to sleep, he just describes that “he’s tired” and can’t stay conscious forever. It seems like this form works without much effort from Olimar, as he’s not able to describe how exactly everything works. Another thing to note, his body can change unintentionally due to his emotions. One common example, when he’s agitated, his body will form sharp spikes of varying size.
Unfortunately, the Koppaites haven’t been able to test the full extent of the Plasm Wraith’s abilities due to Olimar being unwilling to try out some of those tests, especially offensive capabilities. Ever since the incident, he’s been uneasy. He’s not sure if he can go home, or what exactly the Plasm Wraith did to him, and possible consequences in the future. So he copes by just working every day as normal and doesn’t like to address any issues about his form. When the stress does overtake him, the pikmin do a great job of calming him down. While at first the pikmin were concerned, they warmed up to him quickly and treat him no differently as their captain now. As of current knowledge, Olimar still prefer to use the pikmin as his tool set for handling obstacles or enemies.
There is still concern over the Plasm Wraith’s previously violent nature. It’s doubtful that the creature would willingly suppress or remove its consciousness for Olimar’s sake. There are several theories on what’s going on. It could be that the Plasm Wraith is satiated with being merged with Olimar. Or it’s just observing through Olimar’s perspective. One upsetting theory is that Olimar doesn’t truly exist anymore and that the Plasm Wraith just absorbed his memory and believes that it is Olimar.
Thankfully the Koppaites have decided not to bother their comrade with these theories.
Day 31??
Everything’s happened so fast, before I could think, the ground below me started to shift. Most of my pikmin have made it to the onions and are probably waiting above for the rest of us. It seems like my little entourage and I have fallen into some sort of cave. I hear beasts calling from the distance.
...I don’t have time to think about what’s happened, I have to lead myself and the others above ground and back to safety. After this, I’ll have to consider some things...

(Here’s some coloring practice, as well as my take on what post bad end Olimar looks like)
