We're covered in bugs

Hello. I started following you recently and LOVE your art. Especially this one. The background, the atmosphere not to mention the characters. If you don't mind me asking. Are the faces intentionally cut off? Would love to see the full picture if it is not the case.

Yes, the frame cut was intended this way so there's no other versions! The accent of this artwork is on Ghost's back where the King's brand on the shell is visible.

In "Wanderer's Notes" au this brand is almost like it's own form of seal or curse to Ghost. He feels like his life and destiny is still owned by causes of his birth. He still feels like a tool despite everything he went through to gain his personality and chose his own gender. He learnt so much but for what..? There's no Hallownest the way it used to be, nothing to save if he had to be fair.

A bit of spoilers about this au but during his pilgrimage after being exalted far far away by delicate flower (godhome ending) he learnt too many details about the world in general to blame anyone or anything. All of this is simple unfortunate pain.

“Forgotten paths”

{“Wanderer’s Notes” AU}

From Ghost’s journal notes:

“The arrays of land that long vanished from any ancient maps, from the times before any bug stepped their feet upon them. It looks more like a battlefield than a simple ribbon of wavy pathways across the huge terrain of never ending, bottomless canyons.”

Nightmare King’s observation:

“These roads lead almost nowhere. No village. No town… One doesn’t have to mention kingdoms. If there were any - they existed long before any god of bug was born.”

It’s wonderful to see you back here again. Stay as long as you like. The critters and creatures will always welcome you.

Thank you dearly!

It’s just a bit of a hassle for me to keep track of where I am posting. Can’t say how much of my arts this blog didn’t see but I’ll try to post everything I find in my ipad archives 😭

If you’re wondering what the heck happened to me and why I was gone… Well. A lot happened.

My laptop died and I had to work my ass off to buy an alternative - I’m drawing on absolutely new iPad from now on but it took me time to adjust. Still have some amount of commissions to finish and I rarely draw something for my soul now. Because I still have to pay for the iPad.

Also currently sick with covid and tired as all hell.

What's up with the BrokenVessel in your Royal Knights AU? He looks cool af

Avatar

Broken Vessel aka Aviator in RK AU is a rebellious child who wants to kick Ghost ankles out. Still loves his big sibling tho, because Ghost still saved him AND taught him some cool tricks to be strong.

Be patient with Avi, let that kid be free and ready to fight. Also an amazing flyer and how the name Aviator appeared.

Hi, I'm a curator on the Hollow Knight Amino. I want to ask if you joined that community recently? I wish to make sure because if not that we have a case of art theft. They may have nabbed your art of the nightmare void nosk? If that is you then I apologize for the bother.

I'm sorry if it was a long time ago ask. Yet I must say I never used Amino in my life. So no. That wasn't me.
