I Was Going To Wait To Take A Better Picture (and Probably Will Update With A Better Picture) Hence Me

HES BEEN SPOTTED

I have too many sketches I'm waiting to finish/post now, but have this one of my Flight Rising lair cause I think it's neat

On a related note I may have played Dishonored more than Hollow Knight and Bug Fables combined

Back at it again at [comparing my favorite video games]

Hollow Knight and Dishonored spoilers below the cut:

--

Dh1 Corvo and Ghost:

-Silent protagonists who gain void-related powers to help them progress. Only the first power is actually required to beat the game, though the others make it much easier.

-Magical abilities are gifted at least partially by a black-eyed god

-Have close relations to a ruler who died after trying to save their kingdom from a pandemic. The sickness is not well understood, even after extensive research, and was brought by a usurper who was jealous/envious of the ruler's power. All attempts at containing the sickness failed, but it's (implied to be) cured in some endings

-The kingdom they leave for a while after the pandemic begins, re-enter, and then traverse is not doing so well, and the vast majority of its inhabitants try to kill them. Many of said inhabitants have lost their minds from the aforementioned disease

-Can kill the usurper late in the game

-Can kill rich people

-Most of their allies die. Can kill allies themselves

-Friends with a kind old dude serving as their main method of long-distance transportation (kind old dude does luckily not die)

-Despite being almost perpetually in contact with it, never actually get the sickness. Their biology (possibly-genetically-immune-serkonan, hollow void being) likely prevents it

-Worlds probably take place in the same time period (according to fans anyway; most human AUs I've seen of HK are at least somewhat inspired by victorian england)

-The name of one popular ship in each of their fandoms involve weapons?? One person in the ship is red, associated with the person who brought the disease, and can be killed by the protagonist (though in HK's case, both members apply to these criteria)

-Their empires/kingdoms call themselves the only ones when there clearly are more civilizations out there

--

Dh2 Emily and Hornet

-Protagonists of sequel games, major characters in the first games and close relatives of the first game's protagonists

-Daughters of royalty and trained to fight (likely from a young age)

-Heirs to the throne of the first game’s kingdom/empire but can’t actually become queens/empresses because Sequel Game Plot gets in the way

-Technically they can die in one of the first game’s endings but no one regards it as canon

-I haven’t actually played Silksong (duh) or Dishonored 2 yet though so this list may get much longer

happy ace awareness week to all! be aware of him. Daud is a trained assassin and Aphobes Die By His Blade

[Start ID. A digital drawing of Daud from Dishonored, in a lightened palette that only includes the four colors of the asexual flag. Everything upwards of his belt is visible, and he is standing with his arms held straight beside him. The non-scarred half of his face is blank, as a manner of stylization. He holds his usual stern look. End ID]

[Start ID. A drawing of a Mindflayer and a Streetcleaner from Ultrakill, which the artist refers to as Radium and Burnet respectively, talking in a mall which is in no way canon-compliant. The palette is relatively saturated, dark, and eclectic, biased towards a reddish purple. Radium is dressed in a teal blazer, jeans, a studded belt and silver jewelry, and they hold up an unpurchased black shirt to Burnet: an anatomically correct heart and the word "SOUL" are partly visible on the front of the tee, printed red. They appear to ask if they should buy the shirt for a Mannequin friend. Burnet, in nothing but a sun-embroidered pair of overalls and a gold piercing through zier dragon-like frill, seems to love the idea, gesturing with zier hand excitedly. The two of them are standing in a dark store which is most analogous to Hot Topic; a puppet employee handles shirts to the right side of the image, including one with the artist's diagetic signature. Among the mall's stores are numerous parodies of and references to Ultrakill itself, along with sights such as a gathering of post-shopping Virtues and an enraged Mindflayer chasing down a fleeing V1.
