July Moth

Drew this while waiting for the anime

Taking a nap in someone else's old temple was never a good idea.

I got so many asks about this arc. So here it is. This lil girl really loves pointing at everyone else. I wonder why...

My part of the Magma drawing with @jollyeart @gunayris It was so much fun drawing together!

(Woolhaven spoilers)

Did The Butcher ever meet Hagar/the Executioner at any point during the slaughter of Lamb-Kind?

As we now know, The Executioner was largely acting under duress and became wracked with guilt, fear and trauma from her part in the ordeal, especially with the Bishops' demands and the punishments for failure.

I'm pretty sure if she ever met The Butcher, The Executioner likely would've been creeped TF out by not only someone so desensitized to the bloodshed, but also one who turned traitor to their own kind in the process.

I think they'll find something to talk about

[july-moth]

So many words here… I tried to sneak some philosophy into it and show something about their relationship

[july-moth]

HAI HAI HAI i hooe youre having a wonderful day !

Sorry if it bothers you but will you put Butcher in art fight ????:)

Hi! You're not bothering me at all - don't worry about it.

As for art fight, I have to say… I've never taken part in such events. The only thing I know is that it starts in July. I don't want to promise anything yet, because July still feels pretty far away.

But I'm really happy that you'd like to see my OC there! We'll see how things go when the time comes.

[july-moth]

what is name of this Guardian Around Beck? I need more info about him!

And about his relation with your cock sheep OC, please!

:]

To be honest, I never gave him a specific name - I kind of like keeping him closer to his unnamed in-game version. But at the same time, he's definitely not just any ordinary Guardian. Something about him is different… and that's exactly why the story happened. I can't say more yet.

[july-moth]

I really like the concept of an Old Faith member taking a lamb under their wing and raising them as their own, especially since this is one of the more higher ranking members. Do you think you could share some more lore about the relationship between the guardian and your lamb OC?

I'm glad you're interested! picking the Guardian for this role wasn't random - he's often the one portrayed as "the bad guy" in other comics and fanarts, so I thought it'd be fun to play with that concept and add some contrast. (just love their in-game design…) I actually have a few comic pages about them. nothing complete yet… However, now I may finish them

[july-moth]

Your oc is very interesting did you create her before or after the Woolhaven DLC? As one of the main ghost lambs you meet in woolhaven is similar to her in trying to denounce being a lamb, their grave even calls them "the pretender." Either way I'm interested to see your take on this concept as I wonder what would have happened if a lamb was able to trick the universe into not seeing it as a lamb and sparing it from the prophecy.

Thanks for the feedback! I've had the idea for this OC for quite a long time, but I wasn't confident enough to really do anything with her. The DLC release kind of pushed me to finally share her story.

The funniest part to me is that I actually drew the very first comic with her before I even started the DLC, so I hadn't met the Pretender back then XD

So I guess her story and her character will go in a different direction than the DLC did

[july-moth]

Who dares take a greatsword from a little girl?

[july-moth]

So, the moral is simple: "knowing the future sometimes makes you choose the path toward it" (not the first time in this world) Or maybe this girl just didn't like the fortune cookie.

[july-moth]

Working on simple sketches to help me figure out the direction for the next part. This piece is more about aesthetics than action.

[july-moth]

If Lambert hadn't rise to be the vessel of Nariander, would the bishops sacrifice Butcher?

This is the story of how one lamb chose to stop being one. If she'd been convincing enough would the universe have written her out of the prophecy?

But I think impressing bishops might be even harder than impressing the universe itself. Maybe Shamura'd notice she's curious specimen. After all, she's a fighter. At the very least, she wouldn’t be boring.

[july-moth]

Small question about your lamb OC did they eventually fight the lamb?

Oh yes - actually, the whole idea of creating my OC started with that exact moment ! I drew her first concept in that scene just for fun without thinking about lore or anything. Please, ignore the dialogue in this pic!! it doesn't reflect her actual character — it was just for atmosphere in this old sketch Just look at this little menace - slightly terrifying, isn’t she?

So, then I got curious about what I could do with a character like that. Her story and comics take place a bit earlier in the timeline, before the main game events. So for now, my OC hasn’t met the main character yet - but there’s a chance they might in the future.

[july-moth]

Slowly working on more OC stuff Honestly didn't expect people are interested in more Anyway, might post another couple scenes like this once I actually finish them

[july-moth]

Finally, I've created my OC. She’s a bit twisted, as you can see. But that's exactly why I love her. I’m not really sure the fandom would accept a character like her, but if she were given a chance, she could explain herself and tell her story.

[july-moth]

That’s how I feel when I explain Hollow Knight lore to friends who came to the game because of Silksong
