The lil guy on his cap is his little sibling
I thought he was a bug friend he found I’m so sorry
That’s what usually they’re being mistaken as LMAO
that’s canon
So dw ur sticking to it
These 2 are some of my first oc’s, they are also long lost brothers, this happened in their canon lore..
Which are you, chat?
Bottom left
Traitor Lord 😄
Why did this make me think of the Spiderman meme.
All vessels look similar. I don’t blame you
Definitely not mass genocide with 5 accounts of arson and 10 broken peace treatments as well as 16 war crimes..
Better start running
hornet knows what you are spoilered ref/inspo
What
she knows
click on the spoiler
Hah, this does not apply to me
it's sfw
Well now look at you you made her situationship angry too
My gender is unknown
No I mean I see it
Uhhh
Pale king did it.
doesnt that make you straight? as the one you're supposedly attracted to is different from your own?
Idk, am I?
vsauce theme plays
Do you guys pay your taxes🤔
no
Taxes? What are those
i dont live alone
no :)
See I’m a Christian which means my body is a temple, therefore I am a church and am tax exempt
Legal loophole
LMAO
Checkmate irs
OHHHHH BILLS.
that fucking bird that I hate
I don’t care who they send I am not paying my taxes
It’s the primal aspid of Silksong
fr bro it pmo so much 😭
They can’t fine what they can’t catch
Hah
When comic. 
and it drops on your head every time you try getting anywhere close
what would yall do if ghost's mask start breaking in front of you?
If he dies, I recreate what this drawing is
what if he just gave up and his spirit (i think the black is his spirit/soul right?) takes full control?
Also a HK oc jumpscare
i like this this is very nice
I kill it if it tries to attack me and build a statue of him in his honor
Bet, here’s another
sounds familiar
what if, after beating him, you hear "git gud" in the distance and quick steps approaching?
Hornet does not deserve to say that to my baby boi so I drop kick them, if they dodge I pull out my Glock 19 and start blasting
anyways, here's him :3
to who?
Hornet
you'd have killed ghost
I would be surpised that ghost was even in front of me
Non-hollow knight related
But it’d be a funny prank
What if you just went to a random place, one you’ve never been to and ask the year
When they say what year. Say “IT WORKED” like you made a working Time Machine and happily walk out the place
lol yeah
An interaction I drew between Hornet, the knight, and my oc
ah cool
no comic. just the one panel haha
creachur
someone please tell my baby where he is 🫂
no enbies? :,) /silly
the deepest depths of deepnest
silly billy silly goose
poor boy
It says, “can we spar” lol..😂
oh as in fight?
I would say hourglass figure doesn't dictate gender but these games haven't disproven it either. 
I love this artwork
Yes
it's not original, found a similar one on pinterest
Ok i finished the bird now
the gender ambiguous ants agree
I saw that, I still love the way it is
Oh right, those things…
low key pixel art is just impossible to me 😭
I could never understand it
Omg the kunai aspid bird
she is thinking about these genders.
do you like draw it and then put it into pixel art?
once you understand you cant make whatever shapes you want you get used to it
nah all hand pixeled in aseprite
dang that's crazy
yeah it's that fucking bird that I hate
my friend has been asking for this. boss spoiler
You gotta block out the shapes first and then add detail later i guess
pixel art is kinda just learning how shapes work, and learning how to add detail with simple colors
she likes nonbinaries but she mainly thinks about male and female.
Hellow hollowknight ocs
but once u figure it out n stuff u can start making some cool stuff
idk it's just confusing
ngl i prefer hk to ss because the map in ss is TOO BIG for my (probably) neuro-atypical brain
mm yum artstyle
tbh the game is a LOT more linear in silksong which means you don't really need spoilers
meh could be bigger for me imo
Theres 2 types of neurodivergents. One who cant get enough of large maps and the other who feels overwhelmed by such a large map. No in between
Thank you!! I like yours too 
Oh, these are good. Dam good. What bugs did you take inspiration from?
for random templates.
hmmm i should play the expansions bc i have no clue what else to make ocs out of
They had to cut out coral forest
we oc posting question mark
its just that good ig
any help?
Twerking Zote image.
im not leaving my baby alone, yes ghost
Thank you!! The first one (thilil) is referenced from a millipede and a giant desert centipede, second is esther and shes a wingless paper wasp, leila is just a simple silk moth 
i dont remember enough npcs from the base game to make an oc 😭
I draw leila alot
we love random underappreciated bugs
in solidariety to my gf i wont make spiders ocs
Great now I got that hallogen song stuck in my head
YESSSS I have an ant too that I made for the Grimm troupe but I need to tweak his design
what do yall make your oc out of? are these random bugs or actual species in the game? my brain is too fried to think hard enough sorry
ive been thinking of making a skaar (ant) template with a bunch of patterns and trinkets for people to build their own ant oc's out of 
Thatd be so nice actually! I look forward to it if you do it 
Ok chat should I draw more Hornet x her BF, more Traitor Lord x Herrah, some Pale King x White Lady or a Lace redesign for my AU(all listed options are for said AU)
she has a what-
traitor lord herrah :3
wait
she's not for the girls??
/silly
i have a weird fixation on making buildable character sheets
I loosely base my characters on pre-existing bugs but add my own spin to them, sometimes scrambling them with other species
Art for my schools pumpkin contest idk if I’ll win it’s not done yet lol
BF as in Styx?
niceee
styx a lil dumb but he got the right spirit
Thilil is such a ace design. Well, all of them but I am especially partial to them.
I love styx
almost too much
lol no, there is this guy
I made them before Silksong came out
Like by 4 years…
Ohhh oc!!
Thank you!! Im not gonna lie im also rlly partial to thilil too...😭 I would say because hes my most morally dubious character but none of the characters are showed are good people...er, bugs
THIS LOOKS STELLAR!!!
Very cutieful! I like
Understood, the fluff is strong in this one
:3
YYAYAY
ping me when you’re done 🙏🙏🙏
Chat inherited Hornet's love of fluff.
I meant fluff like relationships but that works too
a tiny gijinka of taiyo's hollow knight oc
Oh dang, I was looking up fluffy bugs and found this.
Speaking of fluff I actually just got the point in my writing where Pothy sews some big floofy patches into Hornet’s interior cloak
Velvet ants, neat buggers
So sweet I love them
Love ants too
ants
the ants in my floor
Small comic im doing to introduce Leila, I have the rest of the script I just need to draw it ouytt
I have Hornet discover a tribe of weaver ants in my AU :3
Oooh fun
Should I perhaps 3d model a buge
very neat artstyle
"Follower of radiance." Oh no.
PIBBLE
Moth scientist is a fun concept. My guess, either studies the soul or the orange juice from the infection.
Wait, I see a white vial, definitely the soul.
There’s a joke to be made here but I will not make it
It was a Pale King pun
I just realized what it could also mean
Mb gang that ones on me
That’s so devious! What would the mods think?!?
PIBBBLE
ITS FROM DEMON SOULS REMAKE. Would you believe its worse in the original PS3 version.
The original even used a stock cat PNG.
Kind of! Shes researching a way to create an efficient and profitable way to create silk outside the means of extracting it from the citizens of the citadel since theyre also used as the main source of labor using them as a source for silk would be counter intuitive in her eyes BUT shes also very very very interested in the way the infection works, she just doesnt reside in hallownest and only heard rumors of it
These guys are very serve a very important part in her process.......
Also want to reiterate and say that theyre not her babies theyre more like homunculi
Keep her away from discovering Vessal Research
I know I was making a joke😭😭😭
I AGREE LMFAAOOOO
YOOO IM SO INVESTED
aw cute
They found Hollownest IRL
Roach awakening
has anybody watched the movie sinners?
Hi ant
Nope not yet
Also here’s some more sketches I did over the course of yesterday and today
Now ima go eat smth
My purrsona as a princess
into the soup with you
you are my goat these look so cool
Ty man
Gunslinger Flea : D (HK DND Commission!)
I wonder if there are more species of spiders than just the weavers
Oh lorde, they have a gun.
What if I make a spider oc that's a different kind of spider
"Also, they're shooting my rossaries!" 
Three to be specific 
She fell asleep in the caravan and they stole her rosary strings 😔
The great flea massacre. 
I believe there are others
Like the tiny spiders that slash rapidly
Hornet describes them as arachnids but not as weavers
Yeah but all of those look similar
fair enough
All Weavers are spiders but not all spiders are weavers.
Ive seen some people speculating Grimm is some kind of spider because of the crawling he does being similar to hornet
well theres something to be said about those but in a general sense i think that the weavers seem to be the only arachnids who are able to produce silk
Yeah that would make sense
Would be easier chasing lil spidies than Weavers lol
Into the silk soup 😭
only thing i dont understand about the silk thing is that there's a room, i believe in whiteward, where it's implied that regular bugs too had silk extracted off of them
🤔
me when i have to turn my homonculus into silk because im bored
Its okay because theyre technically not 'people'/'bugs'
Idk the morality behind that statement thats just what shed say
AS IN THEY DONT HAVE BRAINS*****
silk was being injected into people to extend their lives and disallow death i believe… and also extracted from the unfortunately dead for reuse
Honeypot ant that works for a yearly carnival under the influence of mind control..
He make candy...
Oh I like this guy
i trust him and the carnival which employs him
I always thought about actual parasites in hollowknight, I wanted to make a disco snail at some point 
Damn this game is dark at times 😭 🙏
i will be purchasing of the candy
Invade a weaver ant colony and make a factory farm using the larvae. 😔
He is very trustworthy.. his employer is not
this is fucking all sorts of badass btw
Does the candy mind control too
Or is it just candy
The candy is safe!!! It's meant to lure you in but it doesn't contain any spores or anything
Ant with a gun.
Thanks I appreciate it! 
frick unity. i can't get my player to walk because i have the most stupid problems
That feels like a lie for some reason
I SWEAR IT'S NOT I SWEAR
do they sell scorpion flavor
Scorpions too big to put into candy 😔
Scorpion legs
Cover it in enough, it should be fine. 
And just like real life, you can dye the honeypot!
Is the candy able to be flavored by whatever it's made of
Should be!
Is there a menu
/silly
I'm gonna make a fluffy spider
Should they be patterned or just pitch black
That's not an answer
Yes
WHICH ONE
Shakra's friendship with hornet 
Whichever is more fun
I don't think I ever shared this drawing
I imagine Hornet with no body but just the mask with tiny legs coming out.
Just fought him last night.
Poor guy got murked by my heated knife 
oh theyre wonderful
Not surviving
TRRRROOBBIOOOOO
ive only drawn trobbio and most silksong npcs once and it was when i was shittily drawing them from memory im a few seconds for fun
Wait should children have normal bug arms or 6 arms
behold my magnum opus
are you asking lorewise or what cos otherwise you should just do what you want
Goodie sketches.
Especially love the smug expression on Lace.
wip
I sketched a little part of like a comic
Idk why but I did
Uhhhh idk yeah
Idk what else to say
Pumpkin waffles
Oh ant ur profile pic changed

Ty bro
it is all fun and games until ghost dream nails somebody with adhd
they might get overstimulated
That made me think about how bad of a sensory experience getting dreamnailed would be
Any chainsaw man-ers
fire
yes
hopefully this makes the previous post more understandable.
Oh god, it’s a raging bisexual
that is what I have been trying to say. haha
Lmao
the original was this.
Being active in here is making me like fiend for redisgining my oc
Yeah, I thought the original intent was her deciding on her gender lol
Oh lord our ocs are one letter away 😭😭
if you look closely, she is blushing.
What’s ur OC’s name
Ohh I see it now 
Nou
Yea 😭😭
seeing my series get a new fan oc is pretty cool
LOL THANKS ANT
Unless you want me to change mine I think it’s fun :3

dart: fatal attack mode
3D printed this needle, now I gotta paint it :D
reminds me of rainworld a bit
Woah
Oh yeah did u see the little comic strip thing I made ant
The print was about 16 hours
Then putting the dowel in and gluing it together took about a half hour
Super glue
ok good to know
Sick!
There’s probably smth better but the super glue is durable enough to swing
the Four Lords of the Aura.
Danger level says stay away, but I'm using the wanderer crest with flea brew. Need to stay as close as possible to win 
I am glad that my passion project became a video series because there may be creative people.
good job
haha
LOL
Wait it’s a video series :0
Bell Beast with a hand is cursed.
LOL
Don’t do my boy dirty like that 💔
I dont know who the other two are but the bell beast chucking a bell is spot. On.
anybody want a free oc or anything?
i really want to make hk designs for fun so if anyone has a concept or idea they want made into an oc id be happy to do so (if i am able)
these are designs ive made for my friends
ah yes.
Where can I watch it :0
ah you are interested
the artstyle along with the humor was kind of off.
that is why it is on hiatus haha
however it is on my youtube channel.
Former soldier termite turned vault scholar. He gets a bit, "big headed" sometimes 
Okok I’m gonna watch it :3
Wait I might be slow can you dm me a link 😭😭
Got to make a “yassss queen” judge emote idea >:3
ah my channel is called bugsatnight and there is a Fallen Hill playlist.
it is pretty easy to find
I assume
When I have time I’ll watch it
Srry I was drawing
the second one goes so extremely hard
I have saved all the fleas
At first I thought his clothe wrinkles is a little too much until I remembered he was homeless for 10 years and therefore doesn't have any access to ironing, so ofc his clothes would be wrinkly as hell (still gotta tone it down tho)
is that a lifeblood oc in the first one omg
I think I remember seeing you here. hey
how are you
Vurn
Srry I had to finish a commission from one of my friends so this is a bit half-assed
Last page of my sketchbook
gooood how about you
I am doing alright I guess
hi guys, i drew this with a reference image
is there anything i need to change?here is the reference image
I guess just make the spikes on the mask more prominent but other than that it’s good
First image gave me a idea
beautiful!
Lol
Yo thank you 
chat i have absolutely cooked with my lace redesign
yoooo new person welcome
Not really new (tho I'm not all that active on the server) but thanks you!!
oh mb 💀 just havent seen you
Im trying to make like, another dream charm but idk how to design it
The effect is you can gain a "dream mask" when u dream nail something (up to 2), and when fighting dream bosses or pantheons, the 2 mask become permanent and will regenerate)
I drew my oc (her name is Raven)
Wow
😋
Is that an Armored Core reference?!??!??!??1!2?1?1!11
Idk what that is💔 💔
She's just punk💔 🥺
💔
Ik💔
I know this is kinda late but the thing I noticed immediately was the left horn is tapered down compared to the right horn but otherwise the composition is very nice 👍
HAHHAHAAHAHAHHAA
Spot from Spiderverse2
Ye its gone cuz I deleted it
I have to bro I'm a wanted man
Lol
Bc I was mad abt smth
Silksong act2 spoiler
My oc … 
“You know what that means Spider-Man”
“No, don’t do it spot!”
“I can say the word now, Spider-Man.”
“You can’t spot you aren’t one!”
“I’m one of them now Spider-Man”
Yeah that was a reference to this
The rosary necklace is gonna be disassembled by hornet faster than china can build bridges
Oml she’s so judgy I love it
real
I didn't even say the word explicitly too like it was a mild joke
What a lil princess
hhehe thank u…
Same tribe as Shakra?
Mayberr i dunno yet but i was considering it
I mean she looks like nearly exactly the same as Shakra ngl
Silly goober I found during a trip in England (and king khann I guess)
i really like shakra she subconsciously influenced the design
I think thats a Silksong boss
Yes
It's a secret act 3 boss
Maybe I should've put a spoiler...
maybe so..
Lol false knight lost weight
Bro I just realized that means u can fight the false knight 3 times
Good for them
Lol except he throws some fucking sea rocks (corals) at you
Anyway this thing didnt want to explode
Truly art
Yeah
Shows the resilience of the aspid
K goodnight
I think its cuz it fell on the corner of the platform
LOL
Gl 😔
Woah omg,,, ACTUALLY can i ask for one if you're ok that iss
yeah! nothing is promised and the result might come out how you didnt expect it but i would love to hear it out for sure

Crazy hornet redesign
Ok I have to go now bye bye
byee
Well, I was just trying to give her figure.
Plus, I was practicing with anatomy at the time, so I tried to work stuff like that into my old drawings all the time.
I need to give her a proper redesign, honestly.
K cya rin
fair
Hai Rinn!
you're too late
So sad
Well do you guys like the Lace redesign?
Yea I like it
:3
I thought that one rosary string as soon as you enter bile water required you to crawl under to get… I never even tried breaking it until I came back w the brace 😭
Is ur prof pic Frieren smoking a whole pack of cigs
where
Nah, its cute. I like it.
I gtg soon
:3
Deli can you send me your ant reference sheet
observe my very incomplete unpainted unsanded skeleton exposed sherma cosplay props while I wait for them to dry
The boy!!!
I am become the boy
thank you!
what is that on top of his head anyway
ig just the tie for his like hood/cloth thing ?
Thank you :3
-# might even ask about potential stuff later, cuz I like ur critters :>
Wish I had this when modeling Shakra
drac, the 2nd Lord of the Aura.
I have a more clear image of him but he is supposed to remain a mystery at the moment.
QUEEN
We were watching a video on PowerPoint but there were ads every 2 seconds
Bruh
thats crazy
Ewww
what if i dont do art ping. what if i on purpose dont do art ping
PRETTY
@grim lichen #hk-art-gallery is not a talking channel. talk in this channel.
huh, that's annoying
gotcha
you can just pinged the artist or fowarded the artworks and compliment in here instead
What’s with the countdown
evening
revealing tomorrow
yo :D
yes :D
Yay :3
Delayed gender reveal >:)
yk i had a neat idea for a drawing
a character for each of the four stages of the alchemical process to make the Magnum Opus
nigredo,albedo,citrinitas,and rubedo
hey one
question
a country in southeast asia
ah thank you
I wait i should have looked it up
me dumb
these two are great sisters to each other.
Yes?
Oh you asked about Cambodia
yes.
elaborate
@elfin brook
yo sly i know its bad but it aint THATTT bad
Just a sketch. Nothing special.
how would i draw a honeypot ant without making them look overweight
looks good asf ngl
Absolute mess it is
Oc designing time. My idea was 3rd sentinel. Ill be trying to fully rig and animate this character
a honeypot ant around laces height but slightly shorter
their thorax can depend due to the honey they consume
thats a given
fun
perhaps they brew alcohol
Yo, can you try and make mine?
I actually made a honeypot ant character recently
also if honeypot doesnt work ill prob do weaver ant cuz omg they are so cute
That may take a lot more effort. Lemme make mine first
||I'm too lazy to share my theory because it's already quite dark. But basically, it's based on the fact that the Pure Vessel went to find the Pale King and found his whereabouts in the City of Steel||
And there the map

what
@tacit wedge @elfin brook
Isnt the Steel Nation like a completely different thing
Don't worry I saw <3
Idk
I'm tired and I came up with that theory out of nowhere
doodles
so adorbs :3 ❤️
thank you 
That person on tiktok or just familiar
wonderous
Oh
me seeing someone randomly @ me in the art gallery
Bee
honeypot ant.
TEACH ME HOW TO MAKE THE 2ND ONE
ah alright
I need how color light neon aka 2rd
i think of changing the blending mode to "add" on another layer and then use airbrush?
this looks awesome!
I took the first drawing, duplicated it, put the layer mode in overlay, and added a blur effect to give it a reflective shine illusion
thanks :D
thank you
no problem
Last Wip before bed
I have the feeling that hornet is indifferent towards them, but she does like their fur
Yes! More curious on what she’s doing that who she actually is but
Anyone would be tempted to touch the fluff I think
I joke about her touching my oc's fluff
bug (and all devilants) have very fluffy and silk fur.
I think leilas fur would also be very silky
even though she doesnt groom herself like she should, too busy working on her project to brush the mess
ah neat
So
I’m currently upset.
I am Currently trying to make a redraw of my HK OC Mirael and his mother, Hornet. (AU stuff)
Was finally inspired to draw today because after a year of taking a break from Hollow Knight, I came back and finally beat Grimm.
Well, as I’m drawing, I think to myself, “I should listen to music while I draw!”
I go to YouTube, search up HK music, and as I’m looking for the Mantis Lords theme, a thumbnail of a short catches my eye. It involves lore about Ghost.
Foolishly, I click on the Short and IMMEDIATELY HAVE THE ENDING OF SILKSONG SPOILED FOR ME.
So, now, I’m not sure whether to be angry, sad, or excited, and now I don’t know if I should keep drawing.

WTF DO I DO NOW
MY ENTIRE HK DRAWING MOTIVATION WAS DERAILED BY A YOUTUBE SHORT
"I would hurt her if your body wasnt such a soft bed."
my friends oc i had the honor of kinda semi redesigning + the pathetic little grub version
Skketchesss
Ngl, this kinda brightened up my mood. Awesome art, bro.
thank you
👍
I would prob be more enthusiastic
But I’m still suffering cause of having the ending for Silksong spoiled for me by YouTube.
But seriously, your art is amazing
Awww cool!
Hard to stay focused when the lord is very down on the triangle 
@north iris forgot abt the rules in art gallery whoops
but yea it will be better to switch the direction of cogfly when hit to face the opponent
that would definitely look better but the assignment is due at 8 and it's 2:30 so I think I should probably sleep lmao
I should have time to go back and polish it later, this is just a draft
land of silk and pong
also none of the assets are ripped, I recreated them in illustrator. here is ultra hd vector cogfly
First time trying out pixel art, hoping to finish this soon 🙏
looks cool
thx 🙂
also i’m happy to say my fleas ears are fully poseable
OH MY GOD AWOO
yo i need one of them rn
AwOOO
they look so good 😭
I will point out that although super glue is strong, if you hit smth hard-ish the sword snaps and is mildly difficult to glue back together do to the layer of glue from the previous gluing, this happened to me and gosh am I struggling 😔
thank youu didn’t take me more than a day so i enjoyed making him lmao
this is adorable
thank you :) who knows, huge flea up next..
||make kratt as a squish toy so we can beat him up like in game||
lmfao kratt chew toy coming soon
Yeah true lmao
haha
@north iris i lovei it, it's wonderful
i’m a lost kin lover
might make it too hollow knight-y, wanna include some silksong
might change my mind tho
shakra could be good
Thanks!
widow is badass tho

do i need to spoiler that? that he exists
i dont think so, people been discussing spoilers in general alr here
unless its act 3 stuff then censor ig?
it is late over here
I'VE DECIDED, ima draw phantom
idky
just bc
gangalang. the game is so hard
i can't make it in unity
my unity is stupid and has like 999 errors
but i would never give up
i'm trying again tomorrow
Erm you made several grammer mistakes, first off you didn't capitalize the first letter of your sentences, AND YOU DIDNT EVEN CAPITALIZE THE LETTER "I" WHEN ITS BY ITS SELF! this is a joke lol
im saving ts
i see i see
soso cute 
mb
that might be why my code isn't working. jk i used gpt to check it
legs shift from side to side on the hips of a character when walking not just... stay in the same exact place
also ur head is completely still, when ur neck aint
they need to switch places
smudge frames are equal to rendering in something like this
if ur base isn't solid, filters and effects are not gonna make it more solid
True, im not an animator either i just hear animators say on yt videos that smudge frames makes it smoother so i just said what i know
I would not listen to that animator then 💀
smudge frames have a very different purpose
they're used to imitate the effect our own eyes apply to the world, if something moves too fast to be caught fully our brain creates a smudge to show it happenned
anyways thats it for nerdy animation thingz
Had an idea crop up for a possible HK/SS species of bug.
Namely, the Vulture Bee. A South African bee that builds its hives in carcasses of animals. Creating a substance of “honey” that’s quite literally rotted flesh tuned into wax.
For the idea, I was thinking of making my bee’s mask resemble a Bearded Vulture. Mainly, because I think it he cool. Her mask, being the pale bone, while the “bearded” appendages is cloth. (or hide)
She has a very vulture esk design- similarly to the bird-like bugs in SS. Actually looking like some creature you’ll find in Bilewater or similar environment.
To tie in the Vulture Bee’s less than savory behavior. I was thinking of having her be a butcher. Or rogue killer. That harvests other bugs to add to her collection. Naturally, she’ed be a boss, but the grotesque vibe of seeing her bisect her pray and turning them into honey would be kinda weird but fitting in HK’s dark fantasy aspects..
I tried designing her a body- but it didn’t… go well. So decided to just focus on the head till a better design comes to mind.
What do you think her attack patterns would be like? You could design the body based off of that maybe
lowkey love how this came out
I wish I could see but I’m trying to avoid spoilers 
I LOOK AT IT ONCE I FINUSH THE GAME
Fair lol
I’m thinking of a three sword slashy movement. Think kinda like bladed “wings” that emerge out of her cloak. You don’t really see her arms- so it make it seem like she has knives for wings (though she will have wings and the ability to fly/chase the player if they try to double jump/dash away.
Very spastic movement.
Uhh yiu could try making the wings themselves thw cloak, and like when she goes to attack the harden? Although thinking about that more I don’t know how to make that look right..
btw good timezones everyone
Maybe- it be cool for sure. She’ll definitely have a slim insectoid build, so maybe her wings can fold down when idle. (again, have her play off as just a honey merchant until you realize what her wears are actually made out of)
Then when in combat her wings unfurl outwards.
It’s 5am for me, im getting ready for school 💔
it's 11 am here :3
!!
anyways godspeed soldier
Especially if she’s a sort of ambush predator, having her wings originally not look like weopons would be well to her character
ok so, i have a question, i want to make more ocs, and yesterday i saw someone who just copied a bug for the basis, and i might do the same but i dont really like bugs, does anybody know a good workaround this issue? (tbc: I dont like centipedes, worms etc.. but moths are fine)
You could do something jellyfish adjacent and say it was monomon who made your oc if you don’t want to look at bugs
a what- what's a monomon
.. how far are you into hollow knight
YEA
I think the theory (or canon I don’t Rememebr) is that she created the jellyfish in fog canyon since they aren’t bugs
Issok I got scared that I spoiled something 😭😭
the thing is, when i think of bugs my mind thinks they're like sticky and blobby like
I’m kinda headcannoning a country/vibe for my OC’s. Kinda like a shogun Japan but re texturalized into Hk/SS’s style. Don’t know how far I’ll go into developing this idea- BUT this vulture character, aside from obvious resembling a Tengu, could also represent a Kamaitachi- a bladed weasel yokai.
Oooh
wouldnt tha just be canonning? as it's your oc?
Bro who tied knives the rodent
I mean, sure. But again this just a very rough draft idea. I literally woke up outta bed and went “vulture bee…” and started making a character.
OH uhh maybe if you wanted we (we being me and whoever else wants to) could help look for bugs rhat arent slimy or anything
That is so valid
id really appreciate it
OK wait let me make my breakfast and then I’ll start looking !!
Don’t even have a name for her beyond just “The Vulture” [Cue Spiderman reference]
Lmao
might do a jewel beetle, as soon as i understand how to make it bipedal
they look so shiny!
or js straight up a beetle atp
Ooo
guys should i make hk in unity
Yes.
it takes so fuking long
yooo spooderman
Going along with my “Japan Bugs” theme, my very first OC, who I’ve posted a couple times about. Is gradually becoming a reference to Sokushinbutsu- which is a Buddhist meditation where the one undergoing the meditation is mummified as they pray. ((As in they refuse food or water for so long they literally rot while praying))
I haven’t worked out ALL the details of how my spider OC works, or how I want to infuse this representation. BUTT 🍑 I’m thinking of sprinkling in a little bit of Jorogumo, which are spider-woman yokai that lure men (in this case bugs) into their lairs to feast on their life force. (Amongst other things)
YAY
should i dm you the progress?
Yes pleaseee
can i see them too?
im curious
A reference sheet of my lil (and big) guys! Their inspired off Spiny Orb Weavers which is where the whole skull+mummy idea started.
tried my best :3
thank youu
guys how can I make his speech look confused in a speech bubble?
use..., - umm, maybe show the character with an unsure expression
u could also have the letters be sort of non symmetrical some of them slightly different sizes and rotations
Hey sorry if this is a problem but i tried my own idea of what would that be. Hes More of a bird then a bee here 😭

OH MY GOD THAT’S SO COOL!!
