Some concepts for the local wyrm dad and daughter :]
Probably won't keep PK's because they're subtle enough so that you can't see them well and they make his design too busy (and I don't need any more skin details to remember to add while drawing him). BUT I really love how Hornet turned out so I might keep her this way :] I just might make the stripes on he face more subtle and change her arms a bit
ID start: Doodles of the Pale King and Hornet from Hollow Knight as humans, both drawn shoulders-up and with separate doodles showing off their arms. The Pale King stares blankly ahead with furrowed brows, his pure white skin is lightly flushed pink and has two-tone darker blueish grey markings on his forehead and hands, he has white hair made into a long braid parted by his crown-like horns. Hornet is looking over her shoulder with an unamused expression, her fair skin is covered in darker markings on her back and shoulders with brown stripes running along them, her stripes are darkest on her face where they travel down her cheekbones and nose. She has ruddy two-tone short hair with white bangs, and stripped fur on her arms, with piebald spots and stripes on her shoulder, back, arm, and face where they frame her eyes and forehead. She has four eyes with pure white irises shaded in blue. End ID.
ID start: The same picture as the one above it, except in this one the Pale King has black veins running up his neck and face up to his eyes, and blackened, void-stained hands that turn completely pitch black at the tips of his claws. End ID.
