Sevilai Draws

Pretty involved! The king, at least. And, well, mostly in the beginning.

The retinue handled a lot of the general care, but the king actually spent a lot of time with his children when they were young beyond just training. Though notably, he spent a disproportionate amount of it with his first born over the others, a problem that became worse over time. The queen? Eh, not so much. She never bought that whole "overpowering the Radiance" business and had no interest in becoming attached to offspring she considered marked for death.

... They didn't see eye to eye on the other's choices.

As for combat training, the Five Great Knights were primarily in charge of it, supervised closely by the king. By the end of their adolescence, Worthy themself took over leading the routine. You never know what to expect in battle, so it was ensured that the vessels would face plenty of variety. The Great Five would continue to challenge them in every way possible

As the vessels grew in age and strength, warriors of all kinds were invited to test their mettle against them. There were many bugs eager to claim the bragging rights of besting a higher being. Some even managed to claim those rights.

The king watched over their progress less and less as he trusted Worthy's judgement of theirs and their siblings' abilities. Although, very rarely, he'd step up to gauge their abilities himself.

Echoes of the ARK: A Maria, Gerald and Shadow focused zine is finally here!

Thank you to all of our wonderful supporters and amazing contributors! We hope you love it!💫

You can download the zine and merch for free here!

Hey long time no real art! Sorry, I've been pretty busy behind the scenes these past few months. I'll be back in full swing soon (I hope) but in the meantime, I can finally share this one!

My piece for the @echoesoftheark Zine; A zine focused on the Robotnik family's life on the ARK! 🌟 It's been a wonderful experience with some very skillful artists on board, very excited to sit down with it and read the final zine in full now that I got a minute!

If you've seen any of my older posts, you may have already been introduced to this world's version of the Hollow Knight. It's been a minute though, so why don't we get reacquainted with them!

Worthwhile, otherwise known as Worthy, is first born of the vessel army and serves as their commander. Worthy is skilled, confident, and fiercely determined to shape themself and their siblings into perfect warriors.

They're known for being a bit of a stick in the mud(or as their siblings affectionately put it, a hardass), even amongst palace staff. When not barking at other vessels to shape up or dragging them into duels, Worthy can be found... In the training grounds. They'll skip meals, stay up late, forgo any and all down time in service of further honing their fighting prowess. What do such comforts matter when the entire kingdom is at stake?

Most of the vessels would say their relationship with Worthy is, strained. They're cold, distant, aggressive, and not to mention, subject of some very blatant favoritism within the family. Worthy would rather they view them this way than know the truth; That they are horribly, terribly afraid of failing at their singular purpose. Even if it means countless late nights. Even if it means their family hates them for their endless scolding.

Wyrm and Root are species with fairly obvious differences. One difference lesser considered is the size of their clutches. Wyrms are quite large predatory animals, often the apex in their territories, so they don't reproduce frequently or in large numbers. A wyrm will typically lay a single egg, maybe two, and put much effort into raising their offspring. Root, however, put quantity over quality. They can produce seeds by the thousands, hoping that a handful of their rather precocial young will make it into adulthood.

The union of these higher beings resulted in several hundred eggs. Some were destined never to hatch. Others were to fall victim to unknowable consequences of their hybridization. Such is the will of nature. All in all, a hundred and seventy or so vessels will survive to see their adult years.

Act 1 begins!

Here we explore life in the White Palace, from the birth of the army of godling soldiers up until the destined confrontation with the Radiance.

This act will be the set up to the AU proper. Though I'll be covering a lot on my own, feel free to ask anything about the setting, the characters, or anything you'd like to know more about!

PERFECTLY coinciding with the announcement of Silksong's release date, I've just finished up my work with a lovely zine in anticipation for the game's release!

No better time to post than in celebration of opening my HK AU blog @emperors-spark!

When the Radiance threatens the lives of Hallownest's citizens, their king devises a plan; An army of godling spawn trained to prime form. Vessels of his holy light. They would lead their kingdom to victory over the Old Light and usher in a new era.

If only they knew it would all be in vain.

Welcome to the home of Outshine; A Hollow Knight AU written and illustrated by @sevilai!

This AU follows a young Hornet as she travels with Ghost; a vessel who's lost both their prime form and memory. As they try to survive the brutal reality of a ruined Hallownest, Hornet must make a terrible choice. Her kingdom... Or her family?

And on talks of Art Fight ! I didn't get to hit everyone I wanted to, so I figured hey, it doesn't NEED to be Art Fight for me to draw people stuff!

The lovely Coriandus for @frolicinq ! She's sick as hell and I love her and I think she should be allowed to kill with her bare hands 👉👈 She's the main character of his @hklegacyau so go check it out if you can!

Hey everyone! In light of being made aware of some awful actions made by the recipient of one of my attacks, I've decided to repost this year's AF attacks without that piece. Sorry to ping you all again, hope you don't mind rebloging this version instead!

Know it's been a minute, kind of been struggling to do a whole lot lately so I know I need to get back to some people, but I still tried to participate in Art Fight to the best of my ability this year. I didn't hit anywhere near as many people as I would've liked but I'm pretty happy with the ones I got out!

In order:

@frolicinq and mine's twins Leviathan and Artem!

My apprentice Infamous and I's Siversa and Inaha!
