Having A Nibble.

Stealing this. For reference.

Old enemy animation attempt that I never finished :')

Part 2 of my Hollow Knight gijinka thing!!

Had a lot of fun with these ones. An idea I had for the more “animalistic” enemies in HK was to have them be conglomerations of discarded masks and corpses, the designs of which I took a lot of inspiration from the demons in Ultrakill.

I also had both the Grimm Troupe masks, and void related entities have a more ‘skeleton’ theming, it really makes the Troupe feel like more of a cult.

Playing with Hollow Knight and Clip Studio Paint :D Markoth is a collab with a very talented friend who sadly doesn't have social media to link. They did an amazing sketch and I colored it, it was super fun!

If you like my art please consider buying me a Ko-Fi!

Deranged doodlings

I know they’re bad, I don’t want to hear about it D:<

Ellesian design inspired by leaf insect/leaf insect egg(the egg-pot thing is the lower submerged part of her)

No cost too great.

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Born of God and Void. You shall seal the blinding light that plagues their dreams. You are the Vessel. You are the Hollow Knight.

Possibly stealing how you draw limbs idk

let her be happy

3 yippee's in unison

Rewriting my lore for my character. Her name is now Amaranth, but she also goes by Maure (her name while she was in the Grimm Troupe).

Amaranth is not a Vessel, she was born into a normal family far from Hallownest, around 300 years before the events of the game. She grew up in a small kingdom built around and on a series of lakes. She loved to swim and catch little water bugs. In her free time, she would study under the local nailsmith, a bug she often saw as her father. She became quite adept at making deadly weapons.

But a terrible flood destroyed her whole kingdom and separated her and her family. she and the few bugs who survived stayed in the kingdom, rebuilding what they could, until a traveling circus appeared in their home, searching for scarlet flames. One of the members of the circus promised life and prosperity to whoever joined. Amaranth, desperate to find her parents, accepted. She became a member of the Grimm Troupe, but at a cost. Upon accepting her mask, she lost all empathy and became much stronger. She forgot her former life and completely devoted herself to the Troupe, taking on the name Maure. She searched far and wide for fallen kingdoms and scarlet flames with the Grimmkin at her side.

After serving the Troupe for almost 300 years, she encountered two bugs traveling to a distant kingdom. They had lost their minds due to being in the wastelands for so long, so they attacked her viciously. Maure, unprepared for their viciousness, was caught off guard. One of the bugs severely injured her, snapping off her left horn and clawing all over her shell and knocking off her mask. In a panic, Maure stabbed both bugs, killing them instantly. But because her mask had been knocked off, all her memories came back and her strength faded. She recognized the two bugs she had killed as her parents. Devastated and injured, she fled.

(Grimm would later find Maure's broken horn and mask. He replaced her with Divine.)

Maure barely made it to an empty town, where she found a well and she hoped it had water. But she fell down it, landing in the Forgotten Crossroads. She crept into Greenpath, where she fed on Squits and went into hiding.

And that's where Honeysuckle finds her :3

Maure is partially mute. She struggles to speak after she left the Grimm Troupe. She can string together a few coherent sentences and words. She also can't walk properly, as the accident and the fall down the well completely wrecked both of her legs. She uses her nail for support, until Honeysuckle made her some braces and began helping her move around. Honey also made her a prosthetic horn.

Anyways, that's my lore so far!

Sorry for rambling lol
