Okay, but imagine the WHB devils but pocket sized.

Just so small, even more babygirl coded.

Ppyong becomes the size of a pillbug, for the sake of scale. Oh no.

My Very Own Team of Shovel Knight Bosses

DESIGN NOTES:

Sticky Knight: I made a picture of this fellow months ago, and the positive response made me want to do a full octet.

After I had drawn him, I realized "oh wait, there actually are frog-people in Shovel Knight." So I decided that's who raised him. Except it was the jungle, so they were treefrog-people.

I guess it's just a happy coincidence that he's actually built like a treefrog.

Tower Knight: I think he's probably an archeologist who got way too into his work and decided to "be the ruins."

I'm not sure what he looks like under his armor and I'm not sure I want to know. Though I like to think in the epilogue he'd get together with Honey Knight.

Hunter Knight: Was originally going to be a guy before I got the idea for the camo tights. Not much else to say about her except that her boss fight would be like Search Man from Megaman 8, with her popping in and out of the background to shoot at you...and I think she buys her arrows at the same place as those thrice-damned archers in Anor Londo.

Needle Knight: You know how with Mole Knight, it's kind of ambiguous if he's an actual mole-man or if it's just the armor? Well there's no ambiguity with this guy; he is indeed a hedgehog-man. When he was growing up the other hogfolk teased him for his small, underdeveloped quills, so he made his armored spike suit to compensate. He'll show them all now!

His armor took a LONG time to get right. I modeled it after a pillbug; segmented, so he can still roll up in a ball.

Also the feat for defeating him would have to be a Sonic joke.

Diva Knight: Her design went all over the place...she was supposed to look like an American diva, like Mariah Carey or Toni Braxton, but ended up looking more a cross between a J-pop idol and Courtney Gears from Ratchet and Clank. Oh well, I still like the mike-chucks.

And if the game had Body Swap mode, the male version would look completely different, like an armored Michael Jackson.

Kite Knight: I based him on Clem Sohn, the first wingsuiter. Back in the thirties, he'd jump out of a plane at 20,000 feet and glide in his home-made flying suit till he reached parachute distance at around a thousand feet. He once said he felt "as safe as you would in your mother's kitchen"...right before the jump where his chute got tangled up in his wings. They said it sounded like an explosion when he hit the ground.

His colors took forever to get right...I went through two or three schemes before I settled on black, white and red (which was probably all that was left of poor Clem).

I think if the game had extra campaigns with playable bosses, he'd make a good one, gliding through the stages, corkscrew-slashing and dropping bombs (that's what those tubes on his boots are for).

Honey Knight: She's the kingdom's most legendary beekeeper, who ended up with the villains...somehow. Maybe they promised her a giant bee preserve.

I had a devil of a time with the helmet, since I wanted it to look like a bee's face, but their eyes are too far apart. So it just kind of has a bee motif instead.

Her boss fight would have her both attacking you with her rapier and using it like a baton to direct bees. She'd probably form the bees into different shapes, like that one Metal Gear Solid boss.

Also somehow I have a feeling she'd get the most fanart. Just a hunch.

Cave Knight: If you're thinking "he looks like a prehistoric Shovel Knight" there's a good reason for that; meet Shovel Knight's prehistoric ancestor, who created the shovel fighting style.

In fact, he even went on his own adventure and defeated the Enchantress's prehistoric ancestor. But in her death throes, she cursed him with eternal sleep.

He slumbered under the earth for countless millenia, until the bad guys discovered him, woke him up and convinced him that Shovel Knight was a villain who had corrupted his shovel style and was using it for evil.

REJECTED CONCEPTS:

Venom Knight: Too much like Plague Knight.

Junk Knight: Too much like Scrap Knight.

Storm Knight: Too much like Phantom Striker.

Rose Knight: Couldn't come up with a design that didn't look like Spike Rosered from Megaman X5.

Hopper Knight: Decided on Honey Knight instead, and two bug-themed knights would be redundant. And yes, he would have looked like a Kamen Rider.

I might use him if I ever decide to do this again, and speaking of that...

FUTURE POSSIBILITIES:

Fireworks Knight

Gourmet Knight

Swan Knight

Magic Knight

Night Knight

Wanted to ask this for a while but always forgot because my brain is a sieve

we both like bugs and I just kinda wanted to know if you had a favorite kind of pillbug/isopod

My favs are the ducky isopod and the pink lambo

sorry if this is random but I am elated someone else enjoys funky lil critters as much as me

I've never seen a ducky isopod before!!! Oh lord they're adorable- and for the other one, pink is always such a peculiar color to see in the wild, I love it. Shame on me, unfortunately I don't know a lot of isopods (yet!) but for now I'd say the Cappuccino Isopod, though the Devil Mask (I think that's one of the spiky ones' name) and Dalmatian are also so interesting to look at-

They truly look the name, absolutely lovely.

Though honestly, looks aside, my heart surely belongs to the Common Pill Bug, I can't wait for them to come back and watch them scurrying around the walls in the garden! They're always so cute :,>

And don't you worry one bit, I never say no to see or even discover new critters!

[aviculor]

Maaaaybe they shouldn't have sent the Ear Devil/Fiend. Also, my condolences; not only was the Centipede Devil taken out, but also Worm Devil. Not to mention Stag Beetle and Pillbug.

It's cute they were all made into a team.

So what was up with the Alligator Fiend? Was it telling its own body to jump? Did the human still have control? Was the human not dead?

[lunarsapphism]

i want a little reptile or some insects or somethin :(( like one of those thorny devil stick insects or some little pillbugs
