mildly, just ever so slightly, belated art fight attacks of the season!! feat. @skyistheground @smangethe @hrokkall @onlineviolence aaand @sophisticated-apple :]
[Start ID. Two side-by-side drawings in the same palette. The left image shows Drya sitting with her legs bent in front of her, facing to the left and seemingly on a flat surface, one hand at her spear and the other on the floor. She's smiling and looking back at Tel. The right image depicts Tel, cross-legged on the floor and facing right, holding a whetstone and shard. Her face is partially obscured, but she looks back at Drya. Her bag and a spare metal shard lay behind her. Both images share a pink tone, and matching background in the colors of the lesbian flag. End ID.]
@enbeemerang TEAM DRYA PROPAGANDA!!
Drya is a (very lovable) dumb rosy maple moth, who came from far outside of Bugaria. Right now, she resides outside of Defiant Root with her girlfriend, Tel! Drya's very outspoken, and is ready to defend her friends with whatever it takes. She's canonically trans, and a lesbian! She very much enjoys going to Crisbee's for a snack, and doing jobs with her girlfriend. Drya uses a spear (a toothpick with a shard of metal tied onto it) as her weapon, and won't stand down. Drya is always down to make a friend, and with her outspoken nature, knows many bugs across Bugaria. She's also a bit of a herbo.
Tel is a much more rational sap beetle. Due to her quietness and more closed off personality, she may come off as cold and not friendly to new bugs she meets. But, she holds lots of care for those she holds close like her friends and loved ones. Growing up in Defiant Root, she loves the research side of exploring, knowing that Drya has her back. Tel is also trans, and a lesbian. Tel's weapon of choice are metal shards. She carries up to 5 whenever she goes out exploring, which she throws at her enemies. She enjoys documentation, and frequents the Ant Kingdom Library whenever she can. Having grown up in Bugaria, she knows practically everybody in Defiant Root, and others across the Ant Kingdom.
Tel and Drya met about two years pre canon in the game. Drya left her home to find somewhere more accepting, and after losing her sibling in the journey, found herself in the Lost Sands. Dehydrated and lost, she couldn't continue. That night, Tel found her, and helped her regain her strength. The year on, Drya had stayed in Defiant Root with Tel, where the two grew closer, until they began dating. After Drya had learned of the explorer's guild, she was eager to be able to continue exploring and going on journeys, with a land that accepted her.
Tel and Drya are an inseparable duo. When they explore, Drya takes up the front, ready to defend her girlfriend at any given moment. Tel goes slower, stopping to document things, or to take samples and place them in the little pouch she carries. They love each other very much! They fight as a single unit, and are best friends.
They also both wear Favorite One medals, as they are each others favorites :)
Argentum is a beautiful silver wasp (Priochilus gloriosum) and a mercenary, assassin, and bounty hunter. He appeals to those who would seek his illicit services because he does his job without asking questions. He's very impersonal during work but much more open and emotional in everyday life. He's a real prick, honestly.
He takes the mandibles off his victims as proof of a job well done, but he often makes necklaces out of them and keeps them as trophies because there's something deeply wrong with him. He also loots all his victims corpses so his husband can sell off their belongings.
He's in a surprisingly healthy and loving marriage with Aurum, a golden reined digger wasp (Sphex habenus) ex-explorer, who became disillusioned with life after almost dying in search of the Everlasting Sapling. They both reside in Defiant Root where Aurum runs a shop to sell off the aforementioned looted goods, but he wants both of them to eventually move to the Golden Settlement. Aurum loves his husband deeply even if he's completely out of his mind and thinks wearing body parts as trophies is cool. He wants Argentum to do literally anything else as a job, but still loves and supports him.
He attacks with his prized blade, poisoned with his own venom and made by Aurum from the mandible of his first victim.
id: a digital drawing of an original character-diner. siner is a humanoid with blueish grey fish scales, a fish tail and a sea urchin head. they’re wearing a yellow dress with a floral pattern, white socks and black roller skates. they’re shown skating along a rainbow, throwing both of their hands up in the air, making peace signs. the background is blue and filled with fluffy clouds. end id
diner uses any pronouns
[Start ID. Two drawings of Hollow Knight OCs in the City of Tears. The first depicts Solper and Caramel, an owlfly and carpenter bee respectively, just before they duel in midair, from a vantage point behind Caramel's shoulder. They're a fair distance from the ground, which is composed of a scattering of large cobblestone islands, partially submerged by a dark sea. They both seem rather enthused, fighting for fun—Caramel has her mantis claw held out to the side and other fist raised, while Solper's sabre is poised beside his head, his other limbs akimbo. The entire drawing and particularly the background are indigo-toned, drenched and shining under perpetual rain.
The second shows Molini, Hawksbeard and Dandy, a millipede, grasshopper and a moth. Molini contentedly sits as the other two use her as a bench, circled around a fire as they've just finished boiling tea, the kettle is propped up on Dandy's nail and settled between two poles taken from Solper and Caramel's battleground. The background is dark enough to appear fully blank, though a handful of lumaflies and the light of a hidden central fire shine upon the three bugs. Hawksbeard is chatting, the others listen, all three holding cups from which pale steam rises in clouds. While the firelight is particularly bright, the tone of the drawing is warm, in both color and feeling. End ID]
March 30 was the first time I'd interacted with @hollypies (feat. their Dandy), and April 5th my earliest memory of @original-character-chaos (feat. his Solper). So I offer a two-weeks-late first-anniversary drawing to my mutuals :]
id: a digital mostly greyscale drawing of an original character-izzy, a humanoid robot. he’s shown to a little below his hips, tapping his cheek with his eyes closed, his other hand is placed in his lap and his tail is wagging. next to its head there’s a green heart. the background is white and in the top right corner of the image, there’s the “you literally cannot make out with a robot, the fuck. keep sucking his flat face” meme, it’s partially obscured by izzy and its opacity is lowered. end id
[Start ID. A drawing of Walenty, a pale teen with shoulder-length dark hair, short horns, and a long thin tail. She's wearing a green button-up patterned with imitations of flowers, black pants and boots, and his typical square glasses. Kit's smiling, holding up a stuffed fish by the garvey tag as if it were dangling from a lure, and sitting down with one leg crossed under the other. The drawing is warm-toned, as reflected by the wavy orange background. End ID]
i have heard. that it is someone's Date of Birth today. so here's my gift to @cyberiada featuring a subjectively walentycore object i have in my room :]
[Start ID. A drawing of @mieczmaszyna 's character Izzy. In the words of its creator, Izzy is a humanoid robot with a white chassis, oval head, black headset, square green glasses, claws, and a tail resembling a cable plug. Ai wears a cowboy hat, vest decorated by a star and bottle cap, pants with tassels, spurred boots, and a red bandanna. He's viewed from the side, kicking up one leg and holding both arms out in front of itself to shoot finger guns, looking excited and rather jaunty. The background is a dull yellow-green, muddied by the warm reddish tone of the drawing, and in paler green are the words "BANG BANG!!" by ais arms. End ID]
robot cowboy!!!
Mimic!!
How come every time I draw lifeblood butterflies it like. Changes style. What that about
They seem like a trustworthy bunch.
From L-R; Pollux belongs to @peridots-pixiwolf, Nyxley belongs to me, Saccharin belongs to @mimicspider, and Candy belongs to @flame-shadow. See if you can't spot the thread!
[Start ID. A drawing of Idroa, a roughly humanoid black and red robot with four arms, floating in midair. One arm is brought up to the collection of wires and many-eyed wheels replacing his head in a vague pointing motion, the other at cogs side, and the lower pair is open, spread low at about a 45 degree angle to their body. Translucent folded wings are shown behind her. The background is composed of the faint shapes of maroon buildings and machinery. End ID]
Comm for @vibecenter13 !!
[Start ID. A drawing of a Hollow Knight vessel with a blue cloak and pink ruff, Mimic, on a dark blue canvas. They’re standing straight in the center of a leafy patch, lifting one arm to gaze contentedly at the butterfly-like Lifeblood creature perched on their hand. They seem rather peaceful. End ID]
DIDN'T REALIZE YOU SAID CHRISTMAS EVE AND NOT TODAY but I hope yesterday wasn't terrible and that this might serve as more than a distraction :)
Merry crimus if you celebrate it, and a good day to you if not!
YOOOOOO POG!!!!!! MIMIC MY LOVED!!!!
Also don't!! Worry I ran into my friend and we hung out. There was like.. four ppl shopping at a time so the manager let us just kinda hang out!
A birthday gift for my friend @original-character-chaos of his homemade tumblr sexyman! Hope it's a good one!
Forgot to plan something to write here, but here's @tired-t-rex 's Poppy!
@sofd-maybe if I had a nickel for every time I drew a cheerful green-veiled hk oc for someone way too cool to be a mutual of mine, I'd have two nickels, etc etc
Anyway! I adore Sylvie's design, even if I may have stretched it a bit with the orange. She's doin a little jig :)
i. what do you mean i like robots who told you that haha...
(four guys at the bottom belong to @hydrxnessa @my-ceiling-is-tilted and @skyistheground ! a very "sorry for interacting with you only through silly doodles" to all of you)
Birthday gift for the wonderful @hollypies ! I really would've done something bigger, but didn't remember it was coming up for a while and I knew I'd be busy all weekend!
Anyway. Family :)

This Is What People Get For Being Nice To Me (part 1/??). Here's Drya for @enbeemerang / @vibecenter13
Ah, hello Peri! You asked for HK OCs to draw, so here ya go! Sorry if ya didn't want any from me, the guy whose vessel ya recently drew!
Here's Mattick, the rat bastard. He enjoys tormenting Seer by just generally existing.
He's a beheaded ghost moth! The fire and eyespots are light blue, but other than that standard colors for his species!
They're pretty, no?
This turned out messy (ibispaint decided it would be funny to delete my entire lineart folder) and completely different than expected, but regardless he was really fun to draw and I think it turned out nice!
Three different versions:
Wrong colors from before I realized the fire was blue, one with the right colors and the same shading style, and a blue-focused one!
I couldn't finish the drawing I had of these guys that I started in May, so I made a simpler one!
Feat. vessels Mimic, Thorn, and Briar (left to right)! Thorn is mine and the other two belong to @hollypies and @original-character-chaos respectively!
You asked for Hollow Knight OCs to draw and I have a couple :D
On top is Bellsinger, a very brash, matter-of-fact dewdrop harvester who takes her job extremely serious, often preferring the quiet working hours to any social situation. Though, despite this and her lacking social skills and often uncaring demeanor, she deeply craves a strong emotional connection with someone.
At the bottom is Moulin, part of a far away butterfly tribe, filling out the role of ceremonial caretaker of the tribe's dead. She's quiet and reserved but shows a lot of compassion for the families in mourning. She's a woman of few words when working with and for the dead, only talking when she deems it necessary, but the exact opposite when outside the grave grounds and at gatherings of joy and celebration.
Sorry for the late answer, this took longer than expected!
Them!! I like these two a lot already and I had fun with the pattern of Moulin's cloak/wings!
