#memorial to the hollow knight

[queruloustea]

i found a wip in my files!

i did make some attempt to clean it up, but it stubbornly refused. i offer you this terribly messy piece instead :)

#hollow knight #hornet #memorial to the hollow knight #city of tears #waugh i am so so sorry this is so so messy #it never had lineart it was just. a scribble. #an amorphous shape of colour #anywhoozle #queruloustea

oh thank god

#art from a while back #i played hk first and deepnest was like. the most uncomfortable ive ever been playing the game #mainly because its just so DARK #as for rw... when i got to shaded...... what the actual Hell #i eventually got used to just dying in the dark and exploring the first parts of the region but like. Why is it pitch black #i didnt even realize there was a path to the scav merchant at the first room..... i got to memory crypts before finding it in my next run #hollow knight #rain world #hk ghost #rw slugcat #rw survivor #artatat #?!?@?@?@?@ the alt text got removed for a sec Sorry about that im not sure why or how that happened #also im completely aware deepnest without a lantern is much darker but atleast it isnt pitch black. You know #i also wanna add on the fact i entered deepnest after the mantis lords and thought. “what kind of winning gift is this!?!?!?” #and felt like cornifer for the first couple of minutes LOL #but i had nowhere to go so womp womp :P #to clarify: i dont hate shaded its actually my top route to go from industrial to shoreline #but i hate deepnest with all my heart❤️ godbless #reading the rbs here is so fun.... so true guys

how cruel, how comforting

#long post #hollow knight #hollow knight fanart #hornet hollow knight #herrah the beast #forget about hornets dad issues her MOM issues omg #she had to live with her mothers comatose half dead body for how long?? #do you think that screws with a person? because she knows her mothers face and probably has a few memories of her from when she was little #but hornet never really *knew* herrah #she only knew her corpse #so #whether this is really herrah or hornet’s radiance fueled fever dream can be up to interpretation #my art

Drawing Hornet everyday until Silksong comes out - Day 357

Requested by @/peenee !

I think she’d be a good asset for the company 👍

#also please excuse the bad attempt at me making the suit #I did it from memory and couldn’t bother to find a proper reference since I was in the hospital today #internet connection in hospitals is always bad here #hollow knight #lethal company #silksong #hk hornet #hollow knight hornet #silksong hornet #hollow knight fanart #hk fanart #hk ghost #hollow knight ghost #the knight #lethal company loot bug

none of the statues of the hollow knight have the loops on the armour. do you hear me. can anyone hear me. is anyone home

#the armour always makes me feel so. so. (gestures vaguely) #to carry such a burden and then the memorial/statues just. make it seem like it was so much less awful than it was #trying to sanitize the whole situation of condemning them to. all that #it has now been 4 months of hollow knight replay induced brainrot

the hollow knight has no mouth and they must cry suffering

#audio from the “i have no mouth and i must scream” radio show #sometimes you have to traverse the path of pain to yell at the ghost/memory/dream of your father #for catharsis. #hollow knight #animatic #the pale king #^ kind of. hes just there #the hollow knight #the pure vessel #and a bunch of other characters im too tired to tag

mindless bv doodle

#trying to get back into drawing GRAGHHHH #drawn from memory 🤞 #broken vessel #lost kin #hollow knight #doodle #eye strain

[voldheart]

shadows of a past life i cant seem to recall

#hollow knight #the knight hk #the hollow knight #thk #ghost wandering out there in the wastes alone for years with a purpose #but that purpose slowly slipping away from its mind #leaving it with a vague memory of a familiar face haunting it from time to time #smile. grinning even

March of Flowers Day 3: Lily of the Valley (greatest luck)

Featuring a little bug who will beat you up with flowers (physically or emotionally, who knows!)

#lm march of flowers #hollow knight #flowers #aashi doodles #fanart #i have already fallen of the bandwagon haha #i had this one already close to ready so i figured might as well finish it up tonight b4 moving onto next thing #video games #i swear the one memory i will never forget from this game is the emotional turmoil that the flower delivery quest was #that and defeating radiance with one shell left while falling to my doom on a platform #truly the greatest luck i had

i've been rereading Charmed, I'm Sure by @wingedarrows and just all of it is so good but the mental image of quirrel trying to convince grimmchild to stop spitting fire at anything that moves is so funny

#also quirrels continuing revelations about how casually the knight is interacting with godlike beings #just babysitting for the nightmare king nbd #my shit ass memory means that i'm effectively reading this fic for the first time despite having read it multiple times in the past #and it's great everyone go read it #if you like hollow knight you will like this fic #hollow knight #doodles

[queruloustea]

these fellows in fog canyon :) and my favourite little guy of course

i must apologise for the severe lack of art lately!! things have been Happening and i've been semi-hibernating as a result :]]

#hollow knight #quirrel #fog canyon #husk guard #i am physcially incapable of not drawing quirrel in every location #also. i wonder if he has any memory of any husk guards. were they around back then? #queruloustea

some traditional mostly hollow knight drawings feat. my smallass hand (hand reveal how exiting)

edit: for clearification, my hand is not bleeding, math is just boring and its currently very cold here and i was outside for around 25 minutes without gloves which caused my hand to get crusty which caused some weird lines to appear on my hand (they're now gone, i think it was just an effect from the cold) and i decided to draw over them with my red pen.

this is what math does to me.

#hollow knight #hk art #hk fanart #traditional sketch #traditional art #pure vessel #thk #lost kin #lurien the watcher #monomon the teacher #herrah the beast #the dreamers #shoutout to school for being boring #cuz i made a decent chunk of them there #i didnt have references though and i dont completely know their designs from memory :P #the knight #the radiance #i cant draw her from memory if my life depends on it

#hollow knight #raven.art #doodle #pure vessel #yeah #also i think i personally knew the kid from the og pic and helped him write it? #im probably wrong but #i have a very faint memory of us laughing our asses off at the shovel thing #i think it was in kindergarten or 2nd grade

What if the Pale King locked himself away in the Dream Realm to recreate what he did to the Hollow Knight? After the Vessel leaked and he realized that it most likely had capability enough to suffer, but far far too late to even hope to do anything to fix it. He was beyond the point of no return, there was nothing he could do to undo the Sealing. And even if he could, there were no other options that he could think of of what to do about the Blazing Light.

He had no choice but to keep the Vessel sealed. No choice but to watch his kingdom crumble. There was nothing he could do.

Nothing, but to seal himself away in a self-imposed punishment in the exact same way he imparted onto his only (known) living child.

A weak attempt to impose the same agony onto himself as he forced onto them.

And should the people of his kingdom stop worshiping him and forget he exists, dwindling his power and life to a pathetic end?

Well...

Perhaps that might've been for the best.

#hollow knight #Pale King #Potential Headcanon #Thinkin about this soggy worm again #I don't actually think this is the case I just think it's an interesting concept #Though perhaps not entirely out of the realm of possibility from what we know of PK's character #PK locked his most shameful memory behind the Path of Pain and the Entirety of the Dream White Palace could be an extension of that #in a sort of ''No one's allowed in but also HE'S not allowing himself to leave either'' way #The Sealing was meant to be permanent and eternal so I don't think PK made a 'back door' in case things went wrong either #Back doors are weak points and a potential escape route is something you don't want when dealing with the Radiance #So even if PK WANTED to get Hollow out of there I don't think he was actually ABLE to do so #Presuming he didn't know about the Dream Nail #Which had to of been fucking AGONY for him #''Oh shit my Vessel-child is actually alive and I just put a pissed off god inside of them aND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT FUCK FUCK FUCK' #*chucks depression meds at PK* Boi get off ur ass and at least try to do smth don't just wait around till u die ffs
