I Tried To Make It Look Traditional, I Like The Colours On This One :)

They have water dishes but I guess nothing beats licking water off your friend.

Just suddenly sat down and finally started sketching designs for iterators So here's a spoiler) 4/7 (srs isnt shown), maybe change Moon since she looks too simple compared to others (I started with designs that were closer to canon, but I wanted to make them different and now only Moon has the most simple robe without cool details :_>) Idk when will I finish if I ever do

let’s see how many people can like this smol little ghost~ 🖤

A lot of work for the king

Ok ok what if... Character, but eepy??? And its mom is there too. (Yeah I'm sure The Pure Vessel™ is not supposed to sleep or like, curl comfy up in the grass. Sshhhh. I had a vision. Hollow Knight being eepy ok??? And wanted to paint a cape.)

Also process pics of me absolutely losing my mind trying to paint this cape:

Thinking about the spoken language in hollow knight. The written stuff too but that looks like one of those languages where each word is a symbol, like Japanese i think(? I don't know anything about language, shoulda started with that)

But like the signs are like lil guys and symbols and things. Pictures too, there's pictures, just straight up illustrations, really. Like for the stags and the cities, that's just illustration. Which does beg the question of "do these bugs not have a written language at all and are just communicating via paintings" like cave paintings or something. But then what's up with the wanderers journals? Are those all like, comics? Are those ? What even are those, how do they work, cause it's like one page, that's not much journaling. These guys have paper! They do, or cornifer does, but why not just? Is it durability???

Whatever the case, they talk to each other and they talk to us with spoken words. Like how iselda is always like "(big sigh) bapanada.." like, what does that mean? Cause her written dialogue is different every time, so bapanada is like "hi welcome, I guess" or a greeting of some sort. Same with sly, "poptumous geo" like, what's that about. Or when zote is yappin and ruining the carefully crafted ambiance of dirtmouth, what's up with that?

I'm extra excited for silksong because Hornet can talk! What's she gonna say? How many voiced lines will she have compared to text in boxes? Will she still talk when she's fighting? Cause she yaps during battle in hollow knight, "shaw" "uhn hegaley" and what not, "git gud" and all that. I know it's for telegraph game reasons but lots of other bosses just kinda grunt at you, or they don't make any noise at all, so why is hornet yappin?? Saying shit like "prepare thyself" in bug language.

Speaking of silksong, what's up with that name? Cause hollow knight is named, like "here's this game about the hollow knight, you'll never guess what its called, that's right, hollow knight" so silksong, silk (spider, hornets a spider) song (is this gonna ? What, bang out the tunes?) idk I haven't watched the trailer in 4 years or whatever, I haven't watched it since it came out.

Someone should think about that
