Back at it again with the Hollow Knight art. Today we have everyone's favorite lil scrappy guy, Zote. I know he's an arrogant ass, but he's probably one of my favorite NPCs in the game.

Realizing I have never shared any pictures of my S H R I M P I love my SMIM-P-

Okay context; Me and some of the fellas from HallowHome were talking about the possibility of aquatic vessels that live in the void sea and what adaptations they might have. This is Artem! They're part of a trio with @phantomgrape and @frolicinq as triplets that hatched from the same egg!

I have fallen madly in love with them I just love lil SWIMP Auughds oooug

#Their horn shape is based off of the jagged rostrum of some shrimp! #They also fight with bladed cestus that I have NOT drawn yet! #Still really excited to get to see Leviathan and our other unnamed lil guy once they're done aaaSHD #my art #hollow knight #hk vessel #hollow knight vessel #spec bio #kinda? #character design #fan character #hk fanart #hk oc #hk ocs #hollow knight oc #id in alt text

King of Shades - 58-59

click through to the source for fullview! Charaxes phaeus - Demon Emperor (bilateral gynandromorph) If you're ok with irl bugs, search up their caterpillars too! the caterpillars of the Charaxini tribe (nawabs, rajahs, and pashas) are commonly called "dragon headed caterpillars" because of their distinctive (and awfully familiar-looking) horns. they're also all sexually dimorphic, and I really didn't want to implicitly gender Ghost one way or the other by their markings, so I ended up just literally splitting the difference down the middle. I figured this was a safe enough compromise so now their gender is "yeah lol" (Hollow's remains "no thank you")

i just had another brain blast GIVE RADIANT SUNS FLUFFY MOTH WINGS OHHHHHHHHHHH (you dont gotta draw it obviously if ya dont wanna)

Hmm,,, why not!

Did a few sketches. Thought about connecting the cloak to the puppet part like what I did with Moon’s original design, but scraped that.

Instead I went with something like the monarch wings on Ghost and put the patterns on the inside of the cloak. I also made them fold, makes it look better.

Anyways final thoughts below

Was gonna make the inside dull like the rest on the colors, but it just blended in with everything so I kept them saturated.

I think their name should be Seven Radiant Suns. Hm, huh, catchy right(☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞

Anyways E

One thing that bothers me is how people treat Hollow Knight characters somehow separated from in-game context or ideas. I'm going to be using the Pale King as an example, so this post is Pale King-centric. Like, people usually make out the Pale King to be a complete asshole (which I mean, I do not disagree), but portray him as acting asshole-ish, especially in ways that are very much not how he'd do so. Which is alright with comedy, but a lot of people have a very fundamental misunderstanding of a LOT of Hollow Knight characters. I totally think it's okay to make a character OOC and there is a lot to be argued on what counts as OOC. But going back to the Pale King, there's a few things I think people miss about his character pretty often.

He feels incredible shame over his mass infanticide from the moment he had to do it. Does this excuse it? Absolutely not. But people do not ever seem to grasp the context of which he does this, in which case there are more bugs who will die than the amount of children that would die. He created the vessels as an absolute last resort and felt he had no other choice than to do so. Again, this does not excuse the cruelty, but he was in a situation where (even if he can be argued to be at fault for causing it) bugs were going to and currently were dying, and he had to stop it.

The White Palace has a nursery, likely intended to be his and the Pale Lady's child. It uses the theme of the Knight's shade, but much happier sounding. It has a chair where the White Lady likely sat, as well as a crib. Yes, this would be her room, but it isn't incredibly hidden (unlike what the Path of Pain hides), but considering it was not greatly hidden, this means he likely did not feel it needed to be more hid than the rest of the White Palace and possibly that he wished or hoped he could have had normal children.

The Path of Pain exists solely to hide a single shared memory of the Pure Vessel and the Pale King. You can interpret it in many ways, but the two of them clearly are sharing a moment and look at each other. It is very easily inferred that the Pale King is what "tarnished" the Pure Vessel by instilling an idea and causing it to view the Pale King as a father. Considering he hid this memory so deeply within the White Palace, but it is there in the first place, it likely had great significance either as an event or emotionally. The moment is not exclusive to the Pure Vessel. It is the Pale King who looks at the Pure Vessel first. It's very likely he cared for it, even if he did not want to. This makes it even more cruel, because he had to have treated it (to the best of his ability) as hollow and empty, despite the fact that it wasn't, not entirely at least.

There is a LOT to be said about him and the Radiance that I don't think I could easily get into. I do think that he did things that were cruel to her and inevitably had a butterfly effect to causing the Infection. (I am trying to be neutral here, but I am definitely a Radiance sympathizer.) And, again, this doesn't excuse it, but contextually, it is down to his very nature as a Wyrm to draw bugs into his thrall and create societies/kingdoms. This nature of a Wyrm is repeatedly emphasized as if its to them as breathing is to humans. As a Wyrm, he must bring bugs into his thrall.

There are many, many other things I could mention. But as a whole, I think he is a really good example of how many people heavily mischaracterize or misunderstand Hollow Knight characters. I don't think it's inherently wrong to do so, but many people who are doing so are not doing it on purpose. There is a great level of nuance and much context to (many) Hollow Knight characters. The Pale King, like I explained, is incredibly nuanced and, in my opinion, is a very morally grey character. Many of those in Hollow Knight's world operate on moral ideologies or functions that do not fit ours and cannot fit ours, but I think people try to apply to them anyways. Not really sure what the point of this post was other than it bothers me.

#book of kells #hollow knight #i'd like to be clear that i do hate the pale king's ass but also he's one of my fave characters #because i think he's really well written and is incredibly interesting #to the four hollow knight fans who follow me. do i sound insane. feel free to tell me my opinions are shit (genuine)
