Hollow knight animation commission - meet Rhea, @kctheowllady's oc!

Below the step-by-step process used for this commission, if you're interested!

1- after discussing about the character's design with my client and using the reference images provided, I re-drew the character in my own style, making my own reference image before starting to work on the animation

Rhea is a half weaver half mantis. She can switch between showing traits closer to one species or the other (wings vs spider legs, ...) Originally, in her design she only had a cape. I took the initiative to try and design an alternative clothing, because I was worried the cape might have interfered with the back limbs. However, while drawing this reference, I realized that wasn't the case, so we proceeded with the cape only, as per original design 2- Once the design was confirmed, I began working on the animation. Below are some highlight moments from the process:

Over the different updates, I have adjusted the speed of the gif, the darkness of the shell to better see the lines etc

3-For the finishing touch, I re-designed Rhea's nightshade charm and adjusted the color of the cape according to my client's feedback

ps: I didn't draw the back limbs in this animation - they're supposed to be tucked away behind her back, a bit like how Hornet's back limbs are technically there but not always visible. In other scenarios, I would explicitly draw the limbs. For this walk cycle, it didn't seem necessary Thanks for reading this post! If you're interested in commissioning me, short animations of simple characters now cost 175$

I also offer character illustrations: check this post for an indication of their pricing

For more information about my commission method, look here Thanks to you all of you who support and enjoy my art! I'll do my best to continue creating content for everyone to enjoy ;)

A small video compilation of my recent progress in Unity - nothing impressive ^-^'

Hello!

My brother and I made our first video to give you a small sneak-peek on what I'm trying to make; a playable Hollow character.

Nothing much, just the first, wobbly steps, but still rewarding.

Hope you enjoy, and show some love to my sib! - training him to become my personal underpaid editor mwahahahaha

Sitting and resting sprite animation (-.-)

I was really looking forward to doing this one ^-^

I'm starting to realize I am probably doing these too complicated (too many frames), maybe I should try to make them simpler in the future, idk

Next thing I'll do is trying to implement the last two sprites I made into my unity project, let's see if I can ^-^'

Otherwise, I'll begin doing the next sprite animation: run

Until next time!

Who/What is Weezer? (I'm curious, I genuinely don't know)

I made a template to showcase your personal HollowKnight/SilkSong art! (or any other art if you like!)

The siblings are visiting an art gallery; would you like to take part to the exposition and showcase your own art? Then take this template I made and place your drawings inside the frames - anyone can join, regardless of their skill! I have uploaded the template file on DeviantArt too, from there you can download it for free, here's the link: template_file_DA Once you make it, attach it to this post via reblogging so we can make a chain! (if you wish) p.s. you can also place your signature on the silver nametag if you want! I can't wait to see your gallery! : D

You have peaked my interest. Could ya do it with dis design of the boi?

[myhallowneststudy]

I can make a similar one. Though at that age, we could have him sitting on a bench.

Would you be willing to pay for this, as a commission?

Or do I consider this a request? (I cannot promise I will do it, in this case - sorry!)

[myhallowneststudy]

You're art is amazing! You are so talented. Keep going, I can't wait to see the other animations.

Thank you!

I am taking some time to try and learn a bit of programming before making new animations, because I wanted to try giving Hollow a base player movement (walk and jump) on Unity

However, I will soon go back to making the next animation: run

I will probably finish it in 3-4 weeks from now... unfortunately I'm still not very fast ;-;

Hollow Knight jump sprite animation complete!

It took me quite a while to make these ones, but they're finally done :) Jump + airborne +landing/hardlanding/super hard landing sprite animations. Next on the line: sit to rest sprite animation

[agsilverart]

First jump sprite animation complete!

(small jump with landing; higher jumps with hard landing and "super hard landing" to follow soon)

I decided to start posting the first part of the jump animation, with a simple landing. I still need to finish the cape and sword fr hard landing ans super-hard landing Looking forward bringing them to you soon!

Update on my Hollow Knight sprite animation progress

It's been a few weeks since my last post, so I thought of sending an update in the meanwhile :)

[agsilverart]

A simple PV player movement with the animations I did in the past days!

A few yt tutorials later, I was able to create a simple player movement on Unity with my sprite animations!

A big shout-out to MoreBBlakeyyy, whose videos on yt helped me achieve this - if you're interested in 2D game development, definitely go check his videos!

While I was able to reach the result I wanted, there are definitely areas to improve on my code, and in the future I'll probably have to revisit some part of it if I plan to add more movements. But it's not bad for a first step.

I'll probably work on making a rest animation for PV next time, or maybe I'll make him draw his sword, or jump even. Either way, see you next time! [Fan project of making a player character. Character is Pure Vessel from the videogame Hollow Knight by Team Cherry]

[agsilverart]

Here it is - the walk animation! Actually, there's four sprites in this gif: the idle animation from last time, the transition from idle to walking, the walking and at last, the transition from walking to idle :)

As for what sprite to do next, I still haven't decided, so it'll be a surprise!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Pure Vessel Idle Animation made by me 'w'

I made a sprite idle animation for Pure vessel, I'm challenging myself to create a PV character. Next step will be the walk cycle :]
