Succession
(script under cut)
1.
"This is how you become a crow."
"You take its hide for your own,"
"and bury its soul in your heart."
2.
Eileen's predecessor
was a kind man.
A rare friendly face
to an outsider new to Yharnam.
3.
"This is a sky burial."
"We become crows, so that their souls may rest in the dream."
"How does one become a crow?"
4.
5.
"This is how you become a crow."
"You take its hide for your own,"
"and bury its soul in your heart."
6.
Lately, though,
Eileen likens herself
to the carrion crows.
7.
Far too burdened by the past to take flight.
Her glory days are long gone now.
From an outsider, to an outsider.
8.
Any day now.
9.
"This is how you become a crow."
10.
"You take its hide for your own,"
"and bury its soul in your heart."

The Deal
(script under cut)
1.
Orbeck: In exchange for my teaching, you will bring me knowledge. In the form of scrolls detailing sorcery's secrets.
That was the deal.
2.
Unkindled One: Hey, Orbeck.
Unkindled One: Is this the scroll you were talking about?
After the first scroll,
3.
you are relieved that they are a man of their word.
Unkindled One: So what does it say?
Orbeck: Are you going to pay attention this time?
Unkindled One: Mm…
4.
After the second scroll,
Orbeck: What happened?
Unkindled One: …Basilisks. There was a group near the scroll.
you marvel at their persistence.
5.
Orbeck: You're bleeding…!
Unkindled One: Oh, this? It's fine, it's not mine. Here's the scroll.
After the third scroll,
you begin wondering what they are doing for you.
6.
After the fourth scroll,
7. (no text)
8. (no text)
9. (no text)
10. (no text)
11.
Unkindled One: Orbeck?
12. (no text)
13.
Orbeck: Oh. Yes.
Orbeck: Unfathomable. This is a crystal sorcery, created by the pale dragon, thought only to exist in legend…
14.
Orbeck: Promise to stay safe.
Unkindled One: All right.
Aah.
This is a debt I cannot repay.
15.
After the fourth scroll,
you are no longer sure
what they want from you.

Irony
(script under cut)
1
Djura was no longer a hunter.
The beasts were no longer human.
2
Is it still a hunt, if what you are hunting are people instead of beasts?
Is it still murder, if what you are killing is a beast instead of a human?
3
The answer didn't matter, really.
Someone was dead,
and Djura had blood on his hands.

Odd how killing Djura’s ally doesn’t affect his quest line.
(script under cut)
1
Djura has three allies.
2
The youngest is overcome by bloodlust, after that fateful night.
Djura is grateful he was spared the task of ending him.
3
The second disappears without a trace, wandering the tombs.
Djura does not let himself wonder what happened.
4
The last one comes to Djura long after he has returned to Old Yharnam.
He is weary. Djura remembers him.
5
Remembers him slaughtering innocent people under the blood red moon.
Remembers standing with him.
Djura lets him stay.
6
Djura's last ally dies to a hunter.
Djura watches the fight from above.
Wonders if he should climb down and help.
7
Hesitates.
And the brief moment is enough for the hunter.
8
Djura had three allies.
"But first, a farewell gift. I have no use for it anyway."

Get some
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
Come and get some
Skinning the children for a war-drum
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns;
It's quicker and easier to eat your young
- Hozier, Eat Your Young
(script under cut)
oh, you'll turn your eyes
and run away
but i,
i will bear witness to all you have wrought
Gimme a Lurien song
I’m starving, Darling
Let me put my lips to something
Let me wrap my teeth around the world
Start carving, Darling
I want to smell the dinner cooking
I want to feel the edges start to burn
Honey, I
Want to race you to the table
If you hesitate
The getting is gone
I won’t lie
If there’s something to be gained
There’s money to be made
Whatever's still to come
youtube
I know Hozier is so typical but genuinely i think this song (along with @asp1diske-art amazing art, PLEASE go check their stuff out if you want god-tier lurien and monomon interactions) is kind of what planted the nugget in my head of Lurien and PK having a... tumultuous working relationship, to say the least. This song came out right around the time I was getting into HK fandom, and I didn't hear it as soon as it came out, but when it did-- it struck a chord with me. I think it's also part of the reason I made Lurien a carnivorous bug; I remember I was originally very enthralled by the butterfly or moth Lurien headcanons, but something about the embroiled irony and anger and the political implications of this song stuck with me. Both irl and also in my headcanons. I still very often think about making the animatic in my head about Lurien taunting the Pale King to this song about the vessel/dreamer plan and his sheer dissatisfaction with it, but we all know how that ends.
RIP to this ten of swords tarot wip I never finished but still really like; the original file name was 'Eatyouryoung'. (This was pre-divine/feral anger era lurien in my creation timeline, so he looks a bit more downtrod here, but don't worry i made him more fucked up since)
i will sneak in a second one as well for Lurimol..
How ever fast I dance to make the sun shine
I will never fall down
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights
How ever hard I pray to remake you mine
I will never feel down
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights

To be the Watcher
(script under cut)
1.
To protect the Vessel, the Dreamers lay sleeping.
Monomon the Teacher
In her Archive, surrounded by fog and mist.
Lurien the Watcher
In his Spire, looking over the city.
Herrah the Beast
In her Den, amidst the deep darkness beyond the kingdom.
Through their devotion, Hallownest lasts eternal.
2.
To be the Teacher
is to be in a relationship.
Tied to student and pupil.
To be the Beast
is to be part of a people.
A claim of belonging.
To be a Watcher
3.
To be the Watcher
is to become an outsider.
To see, but not be seen.
To ostracize oneself from the watched.
To observe, without taking part.
Watcher, Master, Seal, Dreamer,
those are his names.
4.
Lurien the Watcher
In his spire, looking over the city.
He does
not exist
outside
of the
act.

For me I know your art by the deep stories, gorgeous line art, textures and the shapes.
Your art also helped me start drawing again and wanting to tell my own stories so I want to say thank you too!
Omg so many people are complimenting my line art I'm crying
I love using textures on everything so I'm glad you like them, and the stories too :D
Also I'm honored to hear that my art helped you get back into drawing! I hope one day I'll get to see your art and get inspired in turn.

Your technical skill with lineart and shading is amazing in itself, but it's your ability to convey emotion and atmosphere in your work that is trademark to me :) its incredible how you can show through gesture and body language just what these masked, expressionless characters are feeling, and how the environment itself conveys that. Your lurien comics, especially the one that ends in something along the lines of "I return to the kingdom you abandoned" are I think the spark that made Lurien go from Some Guy to Deeply Interesting for me, and your use of color pop and shaky line contributed so much to the feeling in those comics. You are one of the artists whose skill at evoking emotions I aspire to <3
Oh wow, I've been reading and re-reading this for the last 20 minutes this is amazing.
So, emotions!
If there is one thing I'm proud to have accomplished during my time in Hollow Knight, it's the skill of expressing tone. Because here's the thing, facial expressions are just one of the many components of tone. (I even wrote about this in another ask some time ago.) Colors, gestures, camera angle, lighting, paneling, lines and narration - all of these come together to convey the mood of the scene.
Check out these wips from the Watcher and the Watched comic, for example.
You can see that color played a huge role in setting the atmosphere in the comic. It shows that this comic is taking place in the Watcher's Spire, but it also gives a dark, subdued feeling that wouldn't come from idk, a yellow background. The backlight emphasizes the ominous tone of the last page. As does Lurien's pose - coupled with the butler looking up and Lurien looking down, it makes it look like Lurien is looming over his butler (and the reader). All this builds up to deliver Lurien's lines with maximum impact.
So yeah, a lot goes into conveying tone in comics, and I'm very happy to hear that it was recieved well!!
The Lurien, Dreamer comic. It's almost 2 years old now but it's still one of the favorite comics I drew about him. Together with the City of Tears comic, it's the epitome of my interpretation of Lurien. My characterization of Lurien's relationship with the Pale King was quite different from the usual fanon at the time (I don't know how it is now, I haven't gone into the tags in years haha) and I wasn't really sure how people would take it. So I'm glad to hear that it got you interested in Lurien!
It's the one that took the longest too lol. Usually I draw comics in a single setting, but that one took 3 days. Besides Two Ghosts (which was an 18 chapter+@ comic that was over 50p and took about 2 months), no other comic has broken this record. I put in a lot of care into it, and it still holds a special place in my heart.
Honestly half the reason I use messy, sketchy lines is that I suck at drawing clean lines lmao. But I like to think that I've made the best of it and utilized it as an art style. In that comic especially, because the whole thing takes place in the dream realm and I wanted to give a rough, unreal feel to it.
I'd show breakdowns of this one too but the file is so big it keeps crashing lol. (Pro tip - draw your comic pages in separate files. Don't be like me and draw 300dpi 10p comics with 30 layers in each page in a single canvas. It will crash and you will be sad.) But drawing the White Palace was a interesting challenge because I usually draw in highly saturated colors whereas the Palace is, well, white. So I had to work out a way to color this without making everything looking grey, while also making it recognizable as the palace. iirc I used a lot of overlay & burn & dodge layers along with a few difference & subtract layers to give the white a slight yellow tint to stand out from the dark blue. (I'm pretty sure they're the culprits crashing the file.)
Sorry this got long, I really took this as an invitation to ramble about my art hkfsldjkflj
Thank you for all the compliments! It's an honor to hear that my art could be someone's aspiration, and I'm very happy that all my Lurien art got someone else into Lurien. I hope you have a nice day :D

I think your trademark is like your very distinct contrasts and striking compositions in your artwork. Like your linework especially is very distinct to me.
(Also you have good taste in games)
THANK YOU I LOVE ME SOME GOOD CONTRAST
also lineart is the part i'm most insecure about my art so this means a lot to me :D
