Hi there!

Hello! I’m Elise, a small U.S. based artist. This is my main and currently only blog. I typically post various doodles and crafts from things that I love! I am a music student, so I may also post some recordings here from time to time. ^_^

Languages: Native English speaker, decently proficient in Japanese (about JLPTN2)

I am currently studying in school, so I may not respond right away, but feel free to send me drawing suggestions or ask me questions! I only ask not to send NSFW asks or suggestions as I plan to keep this a PG blog :)

Media I enjoy: Hollow Knight, The Legend of Zelda, The Apothecary Diaries, Frieren, Persona 5, Madoka Magica, Studio Ghibli, Sound! Euphonium, The Owl House, Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Song of the Sea, Undertale, Avatar: The Last Airbender, etc.

Making of Hornet

Ever since Silksong came out, I’ve been wanting to make a little Hornet plush for myself. I finally got the fabric to do so!

I wanted her to be both poseable and magnetic, so I got some wire and neodymium magnets as well!

After making a basic pattern, I used fabric markers and pinned her down for sewing! I believe this fabric is minky which is quite slippery

Head and body are stitched!!

Stuffed, and now fully poseable with magnets and wires! Hollow is making sure she stays safe as she climbs about my desk ☺️

It took a while to make eyes that I was satisfied with, but she’s starting to look like Hornet! I just need to need to make her cloak, which will be a simple circle with a collar

She is finished!! It’ll take a while, but eventually she will also have her needle as well

Here she is with Hollow!! Reunited at last 💕

All in all, I’m really happy with her! There’s a couple things that I could tweak, but she feels like she hopped right out of the game and it’s all I could ask for

Of the couple things I could tweak, her eyes were one of my small issues that I thought I could live with. It turns out it bugged me out (pun not intended) more than I thought. So! Here’s Hornet with her new eye!

Happy Saturday!

I haven’t been able to create as much because of school, but I whipped this up thinking about how Lace would find out about Hollow’s backstory.

One of my ideas was that Lace becomes envious of Hollow due to their huge statue in the square of The City of Tears and thinks it means that Hollow was loved and cherished by the Pale King. Thus, this really unpolished comic was born. I might remake it with some more polish in the future.

After a couple weeks of sewing, I’ve finally completed my Hollow Knight and Silksong bag!! The Hollow Knight side was inspired by some official concert artwork while the Silksong side was inspired by the game’s UI.

Almost done!

Tote bag design update! (WIP)

Theory with major spoilers for Silksong!

Alright, hear me out on this one. So, the Citadel was created by the Weavers to keep Grand Mother Silk asleep in the cocoon, right? Since she’s asleep, why did Lace still hate her so much?

Sure, she might’ve treated Lace terribly before the Weavers’ rebellion, but if that was true wouldn’t she feel glad that GMS was finally locked away? That way, she’d finally be free from her mother’s criticisms and/or harsh punishment.

However! After freeing Bellhart, Pavo says that while under the influence of the silk, he felt memories and some sort of shared consciousness.

Lace is completely made of silk.

What if she could still hear GMS kinda in a way similar to how Odalia keeps tabs on Amity with a magic necklace in The Owl House? That way, GMS is constantly berating Lace and telling her that she’s not good enough. It’d be a good explanation to why Lace has such poor self esteem, and might also explain why GMS reacts to Hornet’s threat when she enters the Citadel—Lace and GMS’s consciousness are bonded together so GMS knows what’s going on in the Citadel.

If anyone has any thoughts on this feel free to share! I’m not super great with theories, so constructive criticism is welcome as well ^_^

[elisedoesart]

I like to imagine that Lace monologues a good bit to Hollow, who happily listens to her. Hornet doesn’t talk too much, so even though they love her dearly, they feel a twinge of anxiety in her silence.

Lace, however, voices all her opinions and happily will give them all to Hollow and it gives them a good bit of reassurance that they’re not a disappointment to her. Lace is just happy that she can yap til her heart’s content and someone is happy to listen to her and gives their full attention to her ramblings.

Silksong doodle dump! This game lives in my head rent free and I have two whole sketchbooks with almost nothing except Silksong

I’ve got a bunch more, but these were some of my favorites
