There are so many characters in Hollow Knight that can be drawn... I feel a close second of characters who need more attention to the mantis tribe is Godseeker.
I wonder if you could do a picture of Ghost hugging Godseeker with the delicate flower and her just tearing up. She's lonely, has abandonment issues and wants to be adopted by a god.

I think we should have a conversation about how people tend to portray Hornet as having a hair-trigger temper/being always just angry and how that’s both a disservice to her character and really odd considering how much of a stoic she tends to be in game about her feelings. She’s blunt and sharp but not explosive and straight up abrasive. She has tact. Just like someone who’s both a spider and born into a royal family has to be to survive.
And along with that, as a Lesbian myself, the way people write her as being always angry and pissed off mixed with the other defining trait of being a lesbian or sapphic in some way also rubs me the wrong way.
Like… I hope people realize that they are making her into the “angry/bitchy lesbian trope” right??? And by making her like be especially rude towards the men (who are written to hit on her) also plays into that? I doubt it’s intentional but it’s still offensive.
(Clarification too just in case: I love when people headcanon Hornet as being a Lesbian for obvious reasons that are not limited to me simply loving her as a character, but I do beg people to think more about how making the self controlled guardian that Hornet is into a lesbophobic trope that isn’t even adhering to her canon character is disheartening.)

Aaaah this one took longer than I thought and yet I am rather proud of it !
Mélusine studio's (wolfwalker, Ernest & Celestine, the song of the sea) style was my first inspiration for this drawing (even if my style looks pretty different from mélusine studio's)
You can see that behind Ghost i "hid" a little wyrm ouroboros (if im not wrong it's the symbol for the never ending circle of life)

The full art process is available to my Ko-Fi members
