NOTE
The above are concepts classified according to subject and usage. It not only helps writers and thinkers to organize their ideas but leads them from those very ideas to the words that can best express them.
It was, in part, created to turn an idea into a specific word. By linking together the main entries that share similar concepts, the index makes possible creative semantic connections between words in our language, stimulating thought and broadening vocabulary.

Would you like to see some more outfits? I had to practice drawing Hornet before I could draw this portrait.
The original outfit is my attempt at drawing OG Hornet design without any reference. Somehow the horns turned out right.
The Upper-Right outfit is my own design. I added some fuzz armor for protection and decoration. I gave Hornet a utilty belt with silk, a pouch, and a Weavers' badge all in reference to Silksong. I also made a choice to not have Hornet be so dark. Canonically, Hornet isn't void, so her shell color shouldn't be black. I went with a grey to be close as possible to her canonically colors.
The Lower-Left outfit is a Formal outfit. I figured that Hornet would like to honor all three of her mothers (Daughter of Hallownest), so I incorporated all three aspects of her mothers. The purple cloak is in honor of Queen Herrah while the dress design is something the Hallownestian nobles would wear. Thus Hornet would be respecting the White Lady. The golden gems are for Queen Vespa. Of course, Hornet must still dress like herself. Red, her favorite color (no more white for Hornet now she is grown). Hornet also wears a web crown and Weavers' crest for she is the Princess of Deepnest.
Finally, in the Lower-Right corner is of course, Todder Hornet. She would have carried her needle anywhere before being traumatized during the Infection, after which she carried her needle everywhere even when she felt safe.

"Nice characters are boring" to YOU. I love characters who no matter what, will always have genuine love for humanity in their heart. Characters who dance and laugh and sing with sincerity. Characters who believe in others, and are willing to extend a helping hand to people when no one gave them the same luxury. Characters who have gone through so much but believe, no matter what, that humanity and life is something beautiful and worth protecting
Thank you so much OP for doing all this work. It makes attempting to draw Hollow Knight a lot easier.
you've probably seen this before, or made the connection yourself (ignore bottom right corner)
but there's also this:
The flowers of the Queen, the crown of the King, and the Hollow Knight
This is so beautiful!!!! This amazing lighting!!!!
My piece for @hkhallowzine , a free Hollow Knight zine! It was a honour to work with everyone<3
