Right above Myla, feels like my art skills have improved since starting this project? Drawn on wacom intuos pro tablet

My reference from the game above

The painting is a background for Episode 2 in my hollow knight fanseries

[remirecluse]

I painted the entrance to Myla's mine and recorded the entire process :)

🥚Black Egg🥚 One layer at the time is my mindset when painting like this. Biggest lighting and shadows and then working my way to smaller details. Then I paint some areas with big and small adjustments like making a detail glow more or increase the idea of where the light falls. I zoom in and out all the time!

Temple of the Black Egg

🪲One of the backgrounds I painted for my upcoming animation. A lot of fun imagining what everything would look like from another perspective :)

🪲 Carefully, the Knight approached the edge of a broken bridge. Standing on the end of the ruin, it slowly took in the shapes of the valley. In the far distance was a glowing crystal formation, penetrating a giant wall of shells and in the very centre of the valley, a fading town lit up. A last welcome for a lost wanderer🪲

This is one of the laggiest scenes I've done, It zooms out by making the image smaller and I had to time my animated character + bridge just right which took a while. There is also a blurr effect on the background that fades, fog that i animated and particles (blurred dots) that fly across the sceen. Thanks computer :) Here's the lineart for the background

🪲As the gate was broken, the sound of heavy wind poured into the grotto and a hidden but familiar world revealed itself🪲 🎨Three backgrounds expanding in different levels of speed,many layers of smoke tweened (also expanding) and dust animation🎨 ✍️Drawn, painted and animated with a Wacom intuos✍️ ✨Full animation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zitzeAGSS_E

"How many rocks did you paint?" Me: "yes"

🪲"Beyond this point you enter the land of King and Creator"🪲 💭I decided to include this angle in my animation so that HK players would feel a sense of familiarity while watching the video💭 Watch on Youtube here

🪲These words are for you alone🪲 I always loved how the Knight was painted in the tutorial artwork and so I made an entire animated scene out of it Scenes from my fan animation

[remirecluse]

🪲The Knight advanced cautiously into the darkness🪲 In this scene I painted 2 backgrounds. One is the walls, statues, flowers etc. The other one is the ground that the knight walks on. The darkness is just a static black circle on it's own layer. The backgrounds and Lumaflies are increased in size, which gives the illusion that we're moving forward. The knights animation is repeated in place. ▶️From my fan animated series on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zitzeAGSS_E▶️ 🎨 Everything was drawn/painted with a tablet🎨

[remirecluse]

🪲Glowing bugs inhabited the area and forgotten silhuettes stood frozen in time🪲 This scene is made up of 3 painted backgrounds that move in different speed. I animated the bugs in place and created a motion tween for them to glide with my paintings. I also animated "dust particles" and smoke/fog that also moves but is barely visable ;)

No use of Ai

🪲As the door was "unlocked", strange figures were made visible in the shadows. Among them, a friendly but frightened grub and a small creature crawling to safety🪲

🪲Approaching what appeared more a door than a boulder, the Knight spotted what looked like cracks revealing some space behind them🪲

🪲The Knight was startled by the noice of rocks falling behind it's back but as it turned around, there was no hostile fiend to do battle with. The grotto's dark path seemed blocked by a large boulder🪲
