#cursed crest

[yadchi-i-guess]

request: @duckwithaknifesstuff

im making this request its own separate post cuz its a doozy

I felt nice and wanted to do designs for Hornet's crests cuz that's fun. I might change things here and there but im happy with this

Infodump abt design choices below cut

I didnt really do anything with hunter... its just my default appearance for her, but if i were to change anything it'd be for her evolved versions of the crest

Wanderer's color scheme is gold, so I gave her a scarf that looks like a vessel's cloak, as well as gold accessories on her horns and an add-on to her needle.

Reaper's markings on the headshell are normally a darker gray, but they glow lavender purple when Hornet does a bind. She uses her scythe-needle with two hands.

Beast unintentionally ended up looking like a cross between Hornet and a wolf. She's got big spider mandibles that are hidden here (my bad), big ol' chompers, and lots of fur. She also has two additional pairs of eyes similar to Herrah's dreamer mask.

Architect I had the most trouble with and will likely change its design later. The metal on Hornet's headshell has an IX engraved on it, a little nod to the month of Silksong's release.

Witch was fun. The scarf and bracelets(?) she has on are meant to resemble the White Lady's clothes. That big root behind her right foot is a tail that she cannot retract.

I'm most proud of Shaman's design. Dunno why I just really like how it turned out. The black substance on her face is just magic essence or smth, not Void.

Plasmified Hornet has pupils which will leak floating bits of lifeblood/plasmium on occasion. The eyeholes(???) themselves are wider.

I had the idea to put tendrils going through one of cursed Hornet's eyes. Body horror :D

I have skill, I have talent.

I repeat to myself while dying to phase one over and over again.
