Shoutout to that one AU where PK and WL just. Turn into babies. And PV/Flower has to take care of them.

The two give them hell, this is just like One time where they're calm and not destructive or trying to kill each other

ID start: A doodle of the Pale King, White Lady and Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight as humans, except White Lady and Pale King are children while the Pure Vessel is grown. They're sitting with the young Pale King in their arms, leaning against their chest as he purrs and rests with a smile on his face. While the Whtie Lady just put a flower crown on the Pure Vessel's head. The Pure Vessel sighs with a smile, a black thought bubble of their says "Alright, maybe this isn't so bad...". Some of the lines are coloured to create a blush effect on their cheeks, horns and hands, and the flower crown's lines are coupled red and orange with green for the leaves. End ID.

CRAWLS OUT OF THE TRENCHES COVERED IN BLOOD

IT'S DONE

Somehow they took longer than PK's reference did. Here's to hoping I don't change their design again so I don't have make a 4th reference sheet for them 🥂

I forgot to add the fact that they start growing leaves and flowers in their fur after they recover and aren't stressed 24/7 onto the ref, AH WELL- I might just make a version for when they are older and not a complete wreck

Some notes;

They now have pernament wings that are usually tucked under an elytra, identical to Pale King's (monarch) wings but black and white instead. My friends also voted the pubic fur out ✌️😔 probably for the better, I couldn't come up with a way to NOT make it look awkward as hell.

Their adolescent stage is around 13-14 years of age and around Pale King's height, outgrowing him ever so slightly.

The hatchling stage is EXTRA potato shaped and EXTRA fluffy now, instead of the fur being mostly on the back of their neck and lower back they have a full mane that runs down their back, much like their dad. The hatchling and child stages also have much dimmer light, it gets brighter with age.

But most important addition; they have ✨️HEELS✨️

Not sure if the white bits behind the ridges on their feet and forearms wi stay but they are here for now, I'll see how I feel about them as I draw them

They mostly take after their father in all but height but they do have some traits from their mother, which will be more obvious once I will make a proper reference for her

An experimental piece ft. @dairyfreenugget 's AU Hollow aka Flower, and my boy Oren!!! Theyre celebrating their baby being well on the way <3 It was a treat to work on this, I love these two SO MUCH!!!

A flavor of Hera in @dairyfreenugget 's FAAF au :3c

Had an idea for yet another variation of hollow fucking dies

In this one, hollow doesn’t manage to hide the infection until the last second, someone notices it and reports it to PK/PK himself notices, and they’re promptly locked up in the workshop and aggressively treated with soul and void and everything PK can throw at them

And that gives them the strength to just. Kill Radi then and there. Like Radi fucking dies speedrun any% golden ending (don’t name it that)

-💚

:(((( I wanna name it that now

I do like this tho!! Imagine the conversation that would happen once Hollow comes to oooohmygod

Alt texts in order

ID start: A doodle of a newborn, non-void Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight. They're held in four hands by their father, The Pale King. They're smaller than his palms, tiny and round with closed eyes and round, nobby horns, and a short fluffy mane around their neck and down their back. They're squirming in his grasp and holding one of his thumbs with their muzzle pressed against it. End ID.

ID start: A doodle page of a newborn, non-void Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight. In the first doodle, they're held up in one hand by The Pale King, squirming and grasping at his fingers as their squeak, their mouth wide open and tiny teeth and mandibles visible. In the second doodle, they're laying on their tummy and quinting their eyes, looking quite grumpy, a text next to them says "Just opened their eyes and unhappy about the light". In the third doodle, they're being feed meet by their father, they're tiny enough that he has to use only one of his fingers to help them get the tiny meat chunks as they bite on his finger and hold his knuckles for support. End ID.

ID start: Two doodles of The Pale King from Hollow Knight as a child. In one he's a newborn baby, tiny and stubby with a little nubby crown, and a short fluffy mane aroubd his neck that runs down to his centipede fail, his eyes still closed, he's laying on his tummy. In the other doodle he's bigger, toddler aged, with a bit shaper features than the newborn but still rounder, his crown is short and still rounded, and his mane is fluffier and longer, and he has big round eyes; he's sitting hunched over with the second set of his arms lifted up and he's looking up and to the right, his sharp brow gives him a sort of pernament grumpy face. End ID.

A commission I got from @slimeshade some time ago! I adore it so so much, absolutely obsessed with it actually, especially with how my PK looks in its style

ID start: An art page of the Pale King and Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight. In the top left corner, the Pale King lays curled around baby Pure Vessel, holding them with his tail, with his face pressed close to them and a hand resting on their head. In the top right corner, the Pale King is sitting with the baby Pure Vessel under a nigh sky, pointing and showing them the stars. On the left of the page, the Pure Vessel approaches their father as he works in his workshop, they bonk their heads together in a greeting before they sit down next to him. In the bottom right corner, the Pure Vessel is holding their father scruffed in their mouth like a mama cat would hold a kitten, seemingly very happy with themself. End ID.

WYRM STACK WYRM STACK WYRM STACK WYRM STACK WYRM STACK

Tried out some brushes, and also gave PK a braid because I thought that'd be fun

(ID start: Pixel art of Lurien the Watcher from Hollow Knight. He's a small tortoiseshell butterfly; a butterfly with orange wings with black and light yellow spots, brown fluffy body, black and white stripped antennae and blue eyes. His wings are spread, his blue cloak drapped over them and his hood and mask off, he's glancing over his shoulder at the viewer. End ID.)

Lurien for @sadpugillumination !

Hmm...

Concept for my Pure Vessel gijinka's armour. Its different than the one they were sealed in (which I do plan to design eventually), this one is the armour they wore most of the time on duty and during training.

I'd say take a shot every time you spot a symbol of Hallownest or the king but you'd end up with alcohol poisoning

This fucker will spend an hour getting comfy for bed only to sleep in a weird pose like this anyway

Oh I just. Completely forgot to post this huh

Anyway, I like drawing eyes, so *jazz hands*

Screw canon PK's eyes, while I like the idea that Hollow got his eyes A LOT I personally subscribe to the idea that they're like that because of void and to drive the point home I usually draw PK with these pure white eyes. It just makes THK's eyes that much more unsettling.

The White Lady's eyes are basically her canon ones but SLIGHTLY less blurry and I slapped some petal-shaped eyelashes on her.

Now for The Hollow Knight. My gijinka design of them is basically a nearly perfect 50/50 mix of their parents, and while previously I made their eyes the same as White Lady's but lighter now I've decided to change them to be more of a mix of their parents like the rest of them. Pale blue eyes with white irises and glowing pupils.

Updated concept for my babygirl

Things I added and changed from the previous design:

Fluffy!!

Legs are more stylised to be like deer's because hot damn were they previously hard to draw

Now Extra Lanky™

More scales, like a wyrm

More of the light peeking through their scales (99% of them aren't visible unless under specific circumstances and angles, I just wanted to show them off, mostly it's just their ribs, shoulders and tail showing)
