Ourple Hooded Figure

Rose She/her I'm like that Jack of all trades saying but for my favorite Hollow Knight characters. I make visual art and VERY OCCASIONALLY music. I'm working on a concept for a platformer game.

Tag guide for my blog cus I'm procrastinating on something as I write this.

#Personal - personal thoughts or experiences or whatever.. something like that. I speculate a lot on my favorite things in this tag I think? I don't remember.

#willow the moth - my hollow knight OC. She is a moth . From the moth tribe 😮

#reblog - general reblog

#art reblog - other people's art

#my art - my own art 🤑

#original character -my original characters

#animation - my animations, AMVs, or animatics

#my music - my music

#my writing - anything with my own creative writing in it, be that in the description or a link or a comic or whatever.

#towerlight - impermanent name of the game concept I'm kind of working on. I don't have any posts in this tag yet but if I ever post concept work or character art on this blog then I'll tag it as such. Maybe.

Hellow I am Rose. I have an interest in entomology and art history so please send asks about those subjects (or drawing requests!!) so I have a topic in those subjects to research :)

I commonly post about Hollow Knight, Silksong, Deltarune, and my characters sometimes.

Idk pretty barebones but I want to organize things a bit and I think a tag guide is good even if you can figure out all this from the tags I do use. I tend to reblog and post a lot of text posts in between posting actual art so I figure if someone comes here to look at my art specifically they can see what to look for. I'll probably edit this post with commission information if I ever open them. Idk if I'll keep this post up but yeah. As of writing this I haven't consistently tagged reblogs as such but I've tagged almost all of my art as #my art so anyone reading this can at least search that. Off to do homework now I suppose #😿

Recently I've seen a few people in the fandom say it's intimidating or nerve wracking to interact with the wider community, which prevents them from ever doing so or just feeling as though they don't have a place, so as a solution I offer;

An OW themed ask game !

Take the plunge and send an ask to someone you'd like to know more about or simply interact with more as exposure therapy! If you're scared, do it scared; find your place in the community! We (usually) don't bite ::)

The Sun - How did you first get into Outer Wilds? The Stranger - Which out of the three main species do you want to/think you'd be? Sun Station - Favorite mystery/curiosity to solve? Ash Twin - Worst death you put your Hatchling through? (funniest, most absurd, etc) Ember Twin - Favorite planet to explore Vs. Least favorite? Timber Hearth - Favorite Hearthian AND/OR Nomai? (and why they're your favorite) The Attlerock - Any puzzles you got stuck on? Brittle Hollow - Any quote(s) that stuck with you long after finishing the game? Hollow's Lantern - How many achievements do you have? (Bonus: were any of them accidental?) Giant's Deep - If you were one of the travelers, what instrument would you play? Quantum Moon - How did you react to quantum mechanics being part of the gameplay? (did it freak you out, did you find it interesting?) *Alternatively, how did you react to/feel about the QM itself? Dark Bramble - Did you ever "Feldspar" anything? (ex: slingshot around the black hole as a shortcut, brute force GD's current, etc) White Hole Station - Favorite song(s) from the OST? (base game + DLC!) The Interloper - Which discovery did you find the most impactful? The Eye - How did you interpret the ending?

Obviously, anyone can play, though I will tag a few folks that follow me! (Feel free to participate or not, no pressure <3) @soluneinouterspace @gabbrofan27 @dekkiidan @prism-j

Favorite Moment

My submission for the Resonant Echoes Remix 2026 hosted by @outerwilds-events ! The context behind this being my favorite scene in the game: I was already spoiled about Solanum before I bought the game. Still, I wanted to play through her storyline myself. She’s my favorite character and I couldn’t stop thinking about her. I knew the broad strokes of her story, but this line caught me completely off guard. Been on my mind ever since <3

[artisticattic]

[ID: Outer Wilds fanart labelled "An attempt at an Owlk space suit design, starting with the helmet".

Left is a lineless bust portrait of an owlk, likely the prisoner considering the broken antler. Next to the portrait is an arrow pointing to their face with the text "mouth is around here".

Right is the same portrait at slightly lower opacity with a helmet sketched onto it. A comment above reads "The most tricky part is minding the antlers...". It vaguely resembles a diving helmet crossed with a welding mask. There's a protusion at the top with a comment reading "Lamp?", and it is decorated with the same formlines pattern that is characteristic of Owlks' designs in-game - notably, the lamp part is surrounded by a white eye-like shape, and the wearer's face is framed by red teeth-like shapes. The helmet seems to be made of painted wood and metal.

To the left of the helmet-wearing Owlk is another sketch, colorless this time, showing the back of the headgear from both sides. There's a sliding pannel - the visor - mounted onto the helmet via rail-like indents in the wood, with a handle on the right end of the pannel (for the wearer to grab and move it).

To the right of the portrait, there's another, showing this time the helmet with the visor closed. Next to it, there's a comment reading "visor 'pannel' slides to close" with an arrow showing the movement

Beneath it, another sketch showing the back of the headpiece, this time without the visor and with visible decorations, labelled "formlines pattern on the back too?".

Under the drawings, the picture's space is taken by various images, labelled "Refs". They are, from left to right :

Two pictures of vintage welding masks, an antique photo camera and another object called a "magic lantern" (which is an early type of projector) - both working with a sort of sliding pannel mechanism, an actual tin lantern with its door slightly ajar, a photo of Emilio Herrera's pressurized suit designed for stratospheric flight in 1935, three designs of diving helmets for shallow water by Miller & Dunn's (ranging from 1915 to 1937), and finally Ian Jacobson's concept art for the in-game dream projector totems. End ID.]

Trying to figure out what the Stranger's inhabitants look like suited up...

Marshmallow Nights

I've been wanting to doodle my peeled travelers for a while, and the remix event was the perfect opportunity for it!

It made me realize how fun campfire lighting is to render, and it allowed me to play with a couple of new brushes in interesting ways!

"Are you still there?"

Finally made a Time Buddies piece, and it's for @outerwilds-events Resonant Echoes Remix!

Summary/Artist interpretation (with spoilers) under the cut!

Summary/Artist interpretation The title's phrase coming from Hatchling asking Gabbro about their being/presence after death, if they’ll still find each other and their unique relationship in and beyond the loops

Doshpuluur [Snapped String] My piece for the Resonant Echoes event! @outerwilds-events I've been in a major art block lately, but I'm glad I was able to put this together TToTT it took... an ungodly amount of warmups and exercises to bring the skills back into functioning order. It's awesome to be working with the community and everyone's pieces are so cool...

ANYWAY !! not to get too sappy. Below the readmore is an alternate version and an image ID!

[image description: An illustration of Gossan, seen through a cracked windowpane. Gossan is sitting by themself on a wooden pier by a river, underneath a Maple tree with reddish leaves, tuning their instrument, a Doshpuluur. It is a trapezoidal stringed instrument, typically featuring two strings, but as many as four. Gossan is looking at the viewer intently, mostly clad in ill-fitting, too-large garments. They have shrugged their left sleeve off to better see their fretwork, but with relatively fresh scars on the left side of their body, the hand-eye coordination isn't at the level they'd expect it to be. Uncomfortable and frustrated, they keep at their task, pushing the durability of their instruments' strings to the limit, keenly aware of the viewer, half-obscured by fluttering, glittery drapes, sparkling like fishscales.]
