1, 8, and 18 for the asks~!
1: Favorite color to work with
Never really thought about it before! I don’t think I actually have a specific color (maybe greens or reds, but I’m not sure those aren’t just often-used as opposed to well-liked), but the eyestrain, bright yellow/red/teal/blue palette definitely fits the bill, it’s Very fun to use. Gold’s fun to render, too.
8: Show some art from 1-2 years ago
Boye. 1-2 years is a large time frame. I’m taking it to mean anything between one and two years ago, which pretty much lands everything in 2021. I’m not sure if this was supposed to be pieces I actually still like or an accurate representation of that year, I’ll choose the first, as I wouldn’t consider most of it terribly interesting.
Feb 18 - one of my very few lineless pieces, for a person I engaged in frequent art trades with
Sep 4 - yeah we sure are gonna skip seven months, here’s one of the first times I used a non-black color for shading/lineart: a beloved older OC, mosa :]
Sep 28 - A cropped screenshot from a time I tried pixel art again. Surprisingly, it wasn’t connected to any media or world of mine, I just had an idea for an animation (...that did become the basis for a lesser fictional world). Unfortunately the file’s autosave was overwritten and it wasn’t finished, so a couple screenshots and a video of my progress are all that remain of it
18: How long have I been drawing? When did I begin to call myself an artist?
Funny thing is I was just wondering about that. I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil, I've had long phases of experimenting with clay and origami and pipe cleaners, five years ago I made an art folder for school that was so filled by my various drawings and doodles it's now two inches thick (I carried it around with me everywhere, no matter the circumstance), four years ago I added pixel art to the menagerie, and yet I only actually considered myself an artist two years ago. That was when I was gifted an old art tablet, and thus began what I've previously described as a personal renaissance, as I was allowed access to tools I never used before, diversified and improved, forgot everything I thought I knew about art to learn it again. Fun times.
a better guide to romance???
id: a digital drawing of gabriel from ultrakill. he is shown laying on his back from a top view. his legs are bent at the knees and he’s holding his hands together on his chest, he’s looking down and to the side, flustered. there’s blood pooling underneath him and there are a few splashes of it on his chest and head as well. behind gabriel’s head, there’s a bunch of rainbow hearts. the background is black. end id
what is happening
Some crossovery nonsense
Text-based stuff and individual images under the cut
It's unlikely anything Ghost's wearing actually belongs to them. Since having thousands of children and then abandoning all but one of them to die isn't very socially acceptable or physically possible, PK and WL--aristocrats rather than rulers now--had more like seven children or something, and I'm not sure if they got rid of the six who aren't the Hollow Knight somehow or actually raised them normally. It's most likely that they instead had just one heir, THK, but Ghost wouldn't exist in that case so whatever. They're just running around Gristol murdering people it's fine
Pendleton is a weevil, Martin's a snakefly and Havelock's a scorpion, Corvo's a velvet spider, Samuel is a water boatman, Daud's an assassin bug and Billie's an ant. While giving them their most recognizable traits (and while assigning each of them an actual clade of Real Life Bug, something Hollow Knight isn't particularly known for), I realized it's probably more sensible for them to have their own Empire and society (and biology) outside of Hallownest.
I'm not developing anything for Delilah I just wanted to draw her as a LeafWing

I couldn't finish the drawing I had of these guys that I started in May, so I made a simpler one!

Heya, I'm Peridots, your average digital artist/entomology enthusiast—they/it/he or any pronouns, please! Haven't actually posted much art in quite a while, so be prepared for occasional Bug Facts and other such randomness. Spam likes and such are all appreciated here! Terfs, zionists and the like can turn 180° for free, however! Profile art by original-character-chaos—oooooh looks like someone sent me perfectly pfp-shaped gift art of my sona a little too close to april fools!
