Still have "The Epic Knight", Hollow Knight x Epic, bouncing around my head. HK -> Ody, Radiance -> Poseidon.
Originally for "Six Hundred Strike" was more directly from the "True Ending" in THK. Shades being crew.
Draft. At some point my thinking switched towards the end of the song. With a sketchier sketch more from the side. Then I decided to push my comfort with the reflection POV.
This just felt too video gamey.
I hit my motivation wall on this while trying to make Ody Knight work. I make no attempt to hide the cloak was even more minimalist than how I previously depicted it. Granted, at this point in "the story" it could be excused as just a blanket because his old uniform long ago was worn away.
Tried adding some details that probably don't matter. In these events the Radiance doesn't go full corruption on Ody Knight. So, I kept the eyes black/void. Instead I had Raseidon orange blood splattered around the eyes to show the metaphorical corruption. If I did more work and had more skill, I could have played around with the appearance of it.
Kept with the brush/medium conceit from the other two. Higher Beings, gods, using the paint brush. Using the pen tool for mortals. I believe I fudged this with Athornet.
Slight Raseidon blood splatter on OK's nail. I added some, probably not enough, on Raseidon's chest to mimic the top edge of Poseidon's trident and Radiance's crown. Also to suggest multiple stabs have already happened.
I do like how I was able to handle the edge of blending OK into Raseidon's giant "Sonic Eye".
Heck, I just realized I forgot to make slide changes to the left eye (from our perspective) to make it less obvious that I copied Raseidon's "right" eye instead of doing two complete unique eyes.
Anyways, here concludes Day 449.
