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.

My take on those hollow bugs drawn before Silksong release.

Now I finally finished Silksong 100%. Maybe I can return to real life and drawing now?

"That village above here, home to a sad creature. Hers is a tale of tragic exchange. Cost her and her people greatly, though I suspect she bore no regret in making it.

Heehee, yes. I know. I know. You're intrigued. You want to know the tale. Well I'm sorry. I'd love to tell it, but I'm just, I'm very, very sorry, and I haven't eaten in some time… and oh, I'm STAA-AARVING..."

Human AU Midwife! Well, she's still not human here, although she can choose to look like it. She's kind of a rare pull for the next character I'd sketch out a design for, but I love how much of a freaky fairytale monster she is in the game, and how she can tell when Little Ghost is trying to peek into her mind-- something very few other characters can-- and I liked the idea of trying to keep that energy for an AU design.

I've also been influenced lately by fanworks portraying her and Herrah as having been close with each other. Maybe it was also a comfort to Herrah, while going through the ordeal of carrying a demigod, to be looked after by a friend who was also a weird fae creature?

Y'all remember that brief period where I randomly got super obsessed with modded Elliott again? Well I sure as hell suddenly did.

I originally planned to rb my OC but then I remembered I still had a drawing of Elliott from a while back laying around in prime condition to be refurbished and reedited. So I fucked around a bit.

What if pure vanilla was a beast, divine extract cookie, the beast of subjugation

A leader to his lands and his fellow soul jam holders. He was seen as a god among cookies and he saw himself as a vessel of their wishes. But this belief corrupted as he saw the truth of discord, and how he could claim unity through oblivion and so brought his allies down a darker path. Only one who fought against was the pure white lily, however she was dumped into the witches dinner and reborn scarlet starch, loyal to extract forevermore.

He now waits for his turn to reclaim his jam and his role as the “savior” of Earthbread
