the Monarchs of Bloodbrood

Wielding their fearsome Razors the king and queen of the acropolis (capital city of the kingdom) rule in their divine splendour, the undead king rumoured to have once been a pale being of their own before being killed and form inhabited by the kingdoms living blood itself. As well as the white duchess serving as their faithful wife and royal knight who patrols the kingdom, though why the lady refuses to stay at the capital with her beloved is unknown...

Been cooking up these ones for a while so i hope you guys, gals and all other pals enjoy! for those new here this is my own personal hollow knight art project called hollow knight Bloodbrood, a idea for a hollow knight game setting still within the world of hollow knight without being connected to any of the actual games. and i thought it was far past due to introduce the monarchs of this kingdom!

To start with the revenant king is the primary ruler of this kingdom, having once in life be a pale being himself before being killed by the then unknown deity known as the Bloodfather. Once killed this deity possessed the corpse as his own, without his lovers knowledge sadly. the reason for such an unholy act was for the blood fathers own curiosity of life itself, wanting to feel and experience all that a bug did in their lives. Despite not knowing what exactly happened to her dear husband, Perina knew that something was not the same and rarely visits the Acropolis any more and preferring to instead wander and patrol her kingdom unless directly summoned by her husband. I do genuinely think the revenant king does love the white duchess but in a much more mutual respect oriented way, and from Perinas perspective her husband became much colder and distant after discovering this new "power".

Due to the revenent kings lust for life after a while they began to crave the one thing that they had not experienced before, death. So with the aid of his wife he created a child that would grant him his death and take on the responsibility of the kingdom, with his own mother being the "rival" sent to test whether he was worthy of his own lineage. And that resulted in the creation of the chonky lad himself, Byrum

BLOODBROOD!!!

this is the 1st area of blood brood! the windswept plateau is a appropriately named gusty area, dry moss and large swinging grass tufts flutter in the breeze as the inhabitants live their day to day lives.

hypothetical map

within this town lives the mossbugs! Simple bugs living their lives in peace under the careful watch of the mystic elder, along with their trusty mossnymphs and mosshaulers. As the starting area of the game the locals would be apprehensive of Byrum at first (i mean if a weird bug burst out of a pale egg in your backyard you'd probably be a bit freaked out as well) but the mystic takes you in as one of his own, even being the one to grant you your name as you inhabit the moss chapel (largest mosshut)

i hope you guys like it! im gonna add some more sketches and stuff to fluff out these areas but its been very fun to come up with this! expect more in the future

alright so recently I've been working on a little side project based around hollow knight, I had an idea about designing my own hollow knight game, much like @zabforever (check out their art btw it was a huge inspiration and looks amazing). and I thought id share it with yall in case you had some ideas! the game would be called blood brood (mentioned in one of my other posts) and is set in a kingdom unrelated to hallownest or pharloom or anything like that. i havnt quite thought of a name for the kingdom but the theme of the game is based around blood! and by extension has heavy themes of vampirism and stuff like that. But the little freak pictured below is simply known as the son, armed with their moss cloak and razor he aims to discover his lineage and his place within the kingdom. the start of the game would be the son waking up in the fractured remains of their pale egg and from there would set out to the nearest habited area! i imagine this dude to be a bit taller than the knight but not as tall as hornet, id also imagine that whilst hornet may favor speed and tactics and ghost may favor nimbleness and skill this big fella prefers brute strength and endurance, relying on his higher strength to navigate his surroundings. below are a couple sketches and doodles whilst i try to nail down his proportions and design, i hope you enjoy!

(knight for scale)

he just a lil baby

blood brood kingdom ideas

been drawing out some concepts for the shape of the kingdom of blood brood and have had some success, the key point of it though has to be the inclusion of the acropolis (round bit) as the central city, need to come up with a proper name for this place but ill get to that later, feel free to suggest any ideas

Little bonus: I've finally come up with a name for the my little freak, his name is Byrum
