#concept ref

(Contains spoilers for HK)

Welp. Here's another if the dreamers, this time Lurien. (Btw I edited this so it would show his age)

I made a extreme change to his design, which may or may not make some ppl mad (But this is a au design & it's my design, or well concept design). Infact I think alot of ppl might not even consider this as "Lurien". But then again it's kinda a silly thing + in canon he doenst rlly look like a bug, imo.

This version of Lurien is a Ozznok, descendants of a now extinct race of Humanoid creatures. He was actually from the surface, but was adopted by 2 bugs from Hallownest. He was the founder of the City of Tears, a semi-modern ish city built under a huge blue lake, in which he watches over now. In KoD, he's kinda rich (but not too rich, bcs he isn't a royal, but ig his adoptive parents were nobles in the pale court), he wears fancy looking clothes, however these clothes are dark in color. He is quite silent, only talking to ppl he trusts (like his Butler) or needing to. If there's one thing he doesn't truly talk about is how he became blind in his right eye or why he even covers it. When the infection came into existence, he became reclusive, but only out of orders of the pale king (as he was loyal to him). This reclusitivity didn't last long though, as he eventually became one of the 3 dreamers, a seal to hopefully not allow the infection to spread any longer, but before, he reassured his butler that he was gonna wake up after the infection was over (Unfortunately that never happened..). As a dreamer, his form is quite similar to the original sprite, having no visible features other than some black body, & one single blank eye. When he woke up after the extremely long slumber, he found out the place he founded was now in ruins, & his butler... was pretty much ded now.. (Not due to the infection, but due to being smushed). Going under a extreme & utter state of despair since that was the person (Well bug) he cared for the most... He now wanders aimlessly in the ruins of Hallownest, searching for meaning... Maybe even going up onto the surface... the place he was born in.

(All of this is my own lore btw, as there's nothing about about Lurien other than he was one of the dreamers & he has a butler who is left unnamed, but if I were to give his butler a name, it prob be.... Yiiren.)

Oh yeh btw here's a link to the unshaded version: *insert link here*

Btw a link to Monomon (My version) & Herrah (My version).

Character belongs to Team Cherry but design is entirely mine. (Again ppl might get mad at me for making Lurien into a weird human thing)

The Beast In My Head

————————————————————–  

(Spoilers for hk & spider/arachnophobia warning)

The last of the 3 dreamers, Mama Herrah herself (sounds a bit like Hera from Greek mythology, very unsure if that was intentional by the devs or not.)

Might draw the main cast afterwards (or well the 4 characters that are iconic when it comes to hk. & by hk i mean the original not my au's storyline itself.) Also yes I did a extreme change to Herrah's design bcs in Canon she kinda looks... idk kinda weird to me. So yeh overhaul on her design for my AU, KoD. Also if you know what the beast part in her species is, well... In my hk universe, the term "beast" is used for any sentient creature who walk on more than 2 legs but are sapient & have language. (Doesn't technically be humanoid, but are mostly humanoid)

So uh... yeh... This version of Herrah is extremely huge, like very huge, & much of most of Deepnest, she wears a mask (which is also, apparently, her dreamer mask) this is a form of mimicry to hopefully catch their unsuspecting prey. Many many years before the infection, she had a partner, who was apart of the honored caste that existed in Deepnest (whom in my universe were also hella cannibalistic to please the spider tribe), at a certain point, her partner pretty much got consumed by his fellow caste members, leaving her w/o a heir. Despite her being well... a common beast to the normal bug, she had power over the spider clan & most of Deepnest herself, & very much against the Pale King & his followers. However when the infection came about, she was asked by the Plae King to become a dreamer, at first declining as she very much doesn't want to associate with him, but realizing if she dies from the infection, there wouldn't be a heir to take her place, so she eventually accepted, but only bcs she wanted to have abheir, specifically a duaghter. In short 2 heirs were born (Yes 2), one was the particular Hornet, the other? Her name was Weirette. After this Herrah went into deep sleep, now leaving the 2 girls w/o a mother to take care of them. (As hornet was taken away to be raised by her dad & Weirette... no one knows what happened to Weirette...) After the seal was broken & she woke up from her long slumber, her mask became broken as well (aka her disguise), but even though deepnest was still the same, everything she knew was never the same... So she in turned decimated anyone whom is confirmed to be infected or looks infected. She still possibly lives in the semi-vacant place she calls home. (Btw this version of Herrah is not rlly much of a speaker, & by speaker I mean she doesn't speak in "common" or not very well verse in it, she mainly speaks in clicks & hisses)

(This is all my lore, as the only lore there was stated is her being the mother of Hornet, she's one of the 3 dreamers, & she's the queen of the Spider Tribe in deepnest. Also I did make her species a black widow bcs I thought it make sense for her to be one. I've actually drawn Herrah before but that old version is well.. old now & does not belong into KoD anymore. Btw Weirette is a future OC of mine.)

The unshaded version btw: *Insert Link here*

Heres a Link to Monomon (My version) & Link to Lurien (My version).

Concept Art of the KoD version of Monomon.

(If you don't know what KoD is, in short is a AU/continuation of HK' Storyline but mainly focuses on OCs, whom are technically the next generation of Characters. (Minus Dweller, who's also a oc of mine but he's just the sibling of the protag of the HK game), Also alot of the designs of the Character's have been changed a bit)

This version of of Monomon is a more Humanoid & more vibrant individual (Physically), & Monomon... Isn't actually her first name, but her last name. Everyone just refers to her as her last name tho. She also tried creating a vaccine for the infection (before sacrificing her body to become a dreamer), but she didn't have time & it kept on spreading, very quickly that is... So all there was a prototype & blueprints. Those blueprints & prototype were eventually used as a building block for the cure/vaccine created by Hyphen, who is her son (Hyphen is also my OC). Also in this version of Monomon doesn't die after the seal is destroyed, infact they're still alive, but in a completely different form (aka the form they took as before becoming well... Dreamers!). Her Dreamer form is similar to the original sprite, but the 4 tentacles have 3 fingers, as a Reference to her original form. She eventually finds her way up to the surface, but not only after awaking from her extreme slumber in the now ruined remains of her own Archives. On the surface , she meets a familiar face, it's her son, Hyphen, who now is a adult (She has been away from her family for a EXTREMELY long time due to being busy at the Archives & her becoming a dreamer). She was surprised at the fact her own child was taking up her legacy as a teacher, or well a scientist who does reaserch. (Only added that in bcs I feel like she was also a scientist bscs well... THE ARCHIVES?)

(The bio btw is my own lore for her bcs she doesn't seem to have much lore about her in Canon other than she owns the teacher' Archives & is 1 of the 3 Dreamers/seals, also in my universe, the dreamers don't die, they just revert back to their original forms before putting on the masks, but do sleep for a VERY long time due to fact they need to recover)

Anyways uh... Imma stop yapping now. Prob will draw concept Art of Quirrel next (or well my version). (Btw in KoD, Hyphen is also the son of Quirrel)

Oh yeh btw uhhh a unshaved version: *Insert Link here*
