THE SILKSONG!!!!!!
THE SILKSONG IS REAL!!!!!!!!!!!
we are so fucking back
im a man of my word. 150 notes reached on th last post. now i've also added every enemy (with some extra's) in on the image.
behold: the entirety of hallownest (and a bit of pharloom) part 2: electric boogaloo
this is both the highest and lowest effort post i've made here so far. it took me like way to long to make, but if you look closely at it its not that great.
anyways, here is a deskstop background with every named hollow knight character with a few enemies drawn badly. also yes, this includes silksong characters and enemies.
if this get 150 notes in at the end of 2023 i will add every enemy i've left out. and the greenpath vessel cuz 1 person on reddit asked. and 1 vessel who got nosked. and maybe some others if i can find any.
edit: we got to the 150 notes within 24 hours. im gonna make it after i've done 3 other things.
edit 2: guys i forgot bardoon. why did i forgot bardoon?
edit 3: guys, please stop noting this image. note the upgraded image please
warning. eyestrain. if you're on max brightness and its 3 am proceed with causion. same if you hate a random dude on tumblr ramble for way to long. this includes more text then i care to admit.
icons of some hollow knight silksong characters except i really, and i mean really went overboard with special effects and other random stuff that mildly fits their character (and even that is somewhat questionable) to add as much eyestrain as i physically can and looks not bad. also i wanted to make more icons, but i lost interest and i really just wanna post something after no new art for like 2-3 weeks. also i used those custom pattens brushes to much and it shows.
this whole thing was me just wanting to draw trobbio once more and i thought 'why not an icon even though you've replaced your pfp not even a month', so i did. im not even gonna use it as a pfp, im just leaving it here and then i did the same for seth. and i spiraled from there.
trobbio is the only one without those outlines and it rally bothers me, but due to how i layered i cant fix it. it is what it is. also it makes it more flashy, and if someone here has a flashy icon its him.
seth's one is the least eyestrain one. but i like the darker tones, so im keeping it this way. honestly, might make it my pfp for a while. its probably my favorite one. yep, i peaked at the second one.
i was looking at references for sherma and saw someone drew him with those pink flowers and it was to cute not to steal. i forgot who made it, but just so you know: the flowers weren't my original idea.
this is my first lace icon. i dont really like it, so i made 2 for her. the only reason im posting it is cuz i've watd to much time on it.
and her's the second one. this one kinda mirrors hornet's icon. why? well good question dear viewer (or whatever you call someone who actually reads this (which if you do, thank you, i dont type these for nothing)). its because i can. also i still dont love how the second one came out. i guess not everyone can draw every character. partly due to her needle? sword? thing she fight with still has lines about as straight as i am, and likely she is as well. this is the one with the clearest use of a shape brush.
i hope hornets needle doesn't look thrown in, cuz thats exactly what i did. it was to kinda mirror lace's battle weapon and its kinda silvery and lace's is gold, and ok, you get it now. honestly, hornets one is one of my more favorites, even though the star brush is to obvious.
shakra's icon is ok. honestly, probably the least remarkable one. i dont really have anything interesting to add. ok 1 thing mildly interesting. i think this one took th longest to make the character for. thats about it really. and like lace, i can barely draw her. also why and how did i get worse at using star brushes? they weren't as obvious on the first few and on the last 3 it was clear as day. it is what it is i suppose.
also, before anyone asks, if you really, and i mean really somehow wanna use them, go ahead, credit is appriciated, though not needed. just dont say you made them alright. or do. idk why you wanna claim these are yours though, but i lack the ability to care, nor come after you irl. but please dont do it, its kind of an asshole move imo. if you still do, i guess i cant stop you, though if you steal art im just gonna assume you're kind of a prick to be around. also i still have enough material to make a part 2 (like carmlita and forg daughter). but im busy making other stuff rn.
Some Hornet playing on her needle here
We don't really celebrate Christmas here tho I might draw something with hk on new year's
Okay so, I absolutely love hollow knight and I'm stoked for silksong to release, but, I think it really needs to be called to attention that gamers shouldn't be putting pressure on the developers by saying shit like they're counting down the days till it's releases. This post isn't just about silksong news or hollow knight players because I genuinely think hollow knight players are cool and mean nothing wrong when they post about silksong. People really don't understand the hell developers put themselves through to make the games we love, we really shouldn't be pressuring them about release dates because those developers, programmers, artists, they work their hardest, most of them subject themselves to crunch, sometimes working up to 100 hours a week. I think the hk community is great, I would be lying if I said I never chuckled about a silksong release date post, but we seriously need to think about how the developers feel with so much pressure about deadlines. Crunch for people is horrible and can take a real toll on folks, if you want to learn more about it I really recommend this video by noodle here's a link. Again I love gaming in all but we should really stop putting so much pressure on the developers.

Behind her, bold text reads: "NEVER KILL YOURSELF" [end caption]
Besides her, text also reads: "THE CAKE WAS TRUE / WERE WE FOOLS TO DOUBT? / SILKSONG 2025" [end caption]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/85d925989181efb574679332c7637e76/c57b61a588ba4dbc-aa/s500x750/d7a06370e966e4d17025d121d3984a3c3f4a502c.png)

DELTARUNE 3&4 ON JUNE 5TH
Deltarune chapters 3&4 have just been announced during the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct, alongside Hollow Night: Silksong and a Kirby Airide remake.
This Direct was amazing, you can watch it on Nintendo's Youtube, and it hit 1,5 MILLION consecutive viewers throughout the stream, with an estimate of over 2 million people tuning in during the stream. I thought that at best it would barely break 500,000 consecutive viewers, not ABSOLUTELY CRUSH IT.
Since it was confirmed that Deltarune 3&4 would be available on the Switch 2's launch day, the game will come out on June 5th at the LATEST.
