Hornet's dream #22
Added 2025-06-25 15:56:50 +0000 UTCHornet 22 is now done! I quite like how this one came out, even though I know its not the most exciting page of the story. The glow of the soul water was fun to make, plus I got to play around with some of procreate's warp tools for the text. I think I will do a few more additions before its posted publicly. There are a few parts I think I missed here. Otherwise however i hope you all like it!
In this page, I wanted to take the opportunity to expand a little on the story of this version of Hollow knight. Ive mentioned it before, but the events of the game have gone down a little differently here.
1. the infection is gone (yes I know the bug guys had orange eyes a few pages back, but that was more to represent them being obsessed rather than them literally being infected). Of course Quirrel wouldn't know, but the radiance is not dead, rather just defeated.
Because of this, the Dreamers were able to be saved, and as said here are now in charge of the kingdom. (You might also notice that Quirrel still has Monoma's mask. Of course this is because I like it, but for the sake of continuity it obviously is a replica/duplicate cutacy of the mask maker, who might be interesting to include in some way). And of course a nod to the Pale king, of whom Quirrel would have 0 way of knowing his fate. Im not sure if im gonna still have him dead, on the one hand I really don't have much of a plan for him in this story, but at the same time considering that almost every other character who had died in the game is now alive in this one, it feels a little more morbid then necessary for him to still die. I suppose i'll got to that at some point.
Like always, id be interested to hear what you think!
