WHOA!!!!! I Love My Friends' Ocs

While looking at sprites for Hollow Knight I started to wonder how many different Vessel head shapes are in the game. I managed to find a google drive link on Reddit of someone who compiled all the sprites of the game and had them nicely organized by type. (link to that Reddit page here if you want to look at that)

So I went though all the Vessel sprites and drew each one. I tried to pick out the ones that seemed different and left out others that seemed like the same head shape of others. (like for example the Deepnest ones) There might be some I missed but I think I got most of them.

So yeah my art on one side, the in game sprite of each head type on the other side in the same order so you can see the comparison. Also I just gave each of the Vessels random muted colored cloaks, at lest the ones that don't have color otherwise.

I kinda love the fact that you cannot interact with the Pale King in your playthrough.

You cannot get more dialogue from dream nailing him, his spirit is not there when you arrive to the end of the White Palace, and you are able to see a brief moment of his past only in two scarce occasions. Instead, you can only dethrone his withered corpse and complete Kingsoul with the half-fragment he was hiding to finally unite with your siblings and find peace in the Void.

Whatever you make up of him is entirely up to you and the storyline you choose to believe. And yet, somehow listening to the bugs that offered their stories about the kingdom, the pieces of lore tablets placed and hidden by the bugs in their territories, the lingering souls that still wander through the emptiness of Hallownest, and the corpses you can dream nail that would ask for the King, wondering why he left them to rot under the infection, almost cannot compare to the realness of seeing your sibling, the King's hand-crafted and favoured child, tragically chained and sealed away within their imperfect self, failing to fulfill the only duty they were created for: saving the kingdom. You can see them trying to fight, the great Hollow Knight, stabbing themselves to try to stop the infection from making them hostile and attacking you. The imperfect Vessel, ruined by the attachment to a King, a father, that only had one thing in mind: no cost too great.

But after all, the infection won over. And the Pale King has no more say in the story.

He cannot try to redeem himself, he cannot try to explain his course of action, what beliefs did he have that would justify the cost of it all. Instead, we just see his corpse cowardly hidden in an unreachable place and the rotting fruits of his mistakes: a kingdom that demonstrates that every single thing that could have gone wrong actually went wrong. And I am so, so obsessed with it.

Reunion with Quirrel ♡

week 14 "oh, hello there! seems we both tread far from the path. i can hardly believe those dusty old highways led to such a lush and lively place! this building suggests some form of worship, though its idol has clearly been long forgotten. doubles equally well for a moment's respite." -quirrel ahoy hoy! here is week 14 c:. this one took about 3.5 hours, and has 83 unique color values. thought its been a long while since ive drawn quirrel, so i gave it another go. anyways, thank you for checking out my art, i hope you have a wonderful week! ♡
