"There is no solution, only a personal yet random path to walk on"

Hello, wanderer! Welcome to my blog ~

My name is Vill, and I'm self-taught artist. I was once a god of my world, but recently I mostly draw Hollow Knight fanart (including my fan OCs).

My Hollow Knight sideblog: @nameless-wanderer-444

The desire to bring imagined things to life is my curse, and so I follow it. There is no goal in my path, only the experience of the path itself.

In my art, I explore and experience, ask and quess, feel and reflect, putting my thoughts and emotions into it. I like to work with symbolism, personal meanings and characters.

I use different art styles, but mostly do digital drawing + 3D. I use Clip Studio Paint for drawing, and Blender for 3D modeling, sculpting, rendering.

- No AI, NFT. Commissions are closed. 

- Please be polite in my blog. Rude and silly comments/jokes are also not welcomed.

Thank you for the support ~ 💙

Old art inspired by Shelter 2 game (ignore the old Ledou signature, I'm too lazy to change it)

My art from 2015; some were edited to add more refined details.

Cutting through the sky with a cry unheard. In blinding pain, in crushing grief, in rage unleashed. All names, all laws, all shackles crumble in your teeth. Nothing remains but pure Hatred.

Personal artwork of an old OC. An ancient evil has awakened after a really long sleep…

Blood of a bottomless sea, flesh of a black octahedron. Born to serve, bound by name, but never tamed.

My OC Fai/Soul and @verbrannt47 's OC Vayn.

Abstract visualization of flowing feelings in the form of primordial energy. Very dear and personal art ~

Silent Talk

The one who can't speak. The one who doesn't want to speak.

I created a sideblog for my Hollow Knight art: @nameless-wanderer-444

I drew quite a lot of fan art lately, and the more I do, the more awkward and ashamed I feel about posting it on my main blog. Most of my older followers were here for my former art, and my own personal grief about my world haunts me. It just... doesn't feel right. So I decided to try a sideblog instead!

I will reblog all the fanart I have already posted here to my sideblog, and the new ones will be posted on the sideblog only. Maybe sometimes I will reblog some of my best and most detailed fan art to my main art blog as well, but for now I want to let it rest...

(I hope it will also make me feel less awkward about reblogging other people's fan art)

So, if you are interested in my Hollow Knight fan art, please follow @nameless-wanderer-444 ~

Maybe you can do it better...

More art of my Hollow Knight OCs, following one of my previous illustrations.

(Although Soul doesn't speak in most of her incarnations, I do actually know what her voice sounds like…)

The first and only question...

It was interesting to find out that the Hollow Knight has thoughts that aren't used in the game. It inspired me to quickly sketch my interpretation.

It makes sense to start question things when you are ordered to kill your sibling… the one you left to die in the abyss who knows how long ago.

It is curious to think about it in this way, that what gave them the last bits of strength to resist the Radiance was actually their own doubt and the shadow of their own will. The will to... question and disobey.

(On a related note, it was fun if not confusing to find out that the most common and accepted interpretation of the Hollow Knight is so different from my own. I don't know how I feel about it… it makes me uncertain about sharing my version, but at the same time, it also inspires me to draw more just for the sake of it)

I finally got myself to get back to doing things in blender…

Trying to create the Hollow Knight/Pure Vessel 3D model. This is very different from the models I made before, so I improvise.

(I like their design in how both elegant and scary it is)

The cloak is the hardest part; I have never modeled detailed clothing or cloth-like things, so for now I'm just trying to figure out what it should look like (if it is a natural part of the vessel's body, should it then look organic?) and how to make it work (it is rigged through simple armature. Has its flaws, but that's much easier than getting cloth simulation to work).

By the way, the model is literally hollow! Pretty much all body parts are hollow with the Solidify modifier. I don't know if this makes sense, just was curious to try this method.

Born in the dark depths that lie beyond the known, created by desperate experiments. The creator is gone and the purpose is lost, and all it knows is silence among the dead. Like a ghost that was never meant to be brought to life. Nothing more than regret, for no one to see.

Illustration of my Hollow Knight OC. Even though I mostly draw fanart just for fun, it has some deep personal meaning to me. Like a way to reflect on sad things in a fun way.

(I made an actual dead vessel brush just for this drawing. Now I can combine it with karma flower brush I once made for my Rain World drawing)

[villiedoom]

Endless roads that lie ahead… Shadows and ruins left behind… The moment to run, the moment to stay… All in the song of the Nameless Wanderer.

Having fun with my Hollow Knight OCs. It feels nice to return to the good old days when I simply drew for joy, without demanding anything more from my characters and drawings.

Fai/Soul (the vessel one) has a sort of a story (which is mostly copied from my original stories featuring her...), but the main point is still to just have fun with random ideas, as well as learning to draw in a more simple style for the sake of ideas and characters. After working on Fai skin, this cute cartoony style scares me a lot less (it was never something I knew how to draw).

The two other characters are... peculiar ones! :D Just a funny idea to explore.

The character vs their inner dark/hostile self was always one of my fav tropes.

(The Shade steals all your geo and has a nail… by that logic it steals your nail too and you should actually fight it unarmed?)
