Commission by @/ahollowmelody on Tumblr

Sooo I've been gone for a while and this is why (symptom of hanging out with like-minded hk fans who enable me — you know who you are 🫵)

Mixed pot. I had like 100+ doodles but these are the choicest cuts. It's mostly funnies but also more serious drawings. I hope some of you get a good giggle out of this or shake your head in disbelief 👍

Ooof

This took...A WHILE

I present to you: All of the unique Vessels in Hollow Knight (Plus a few fun bonuses)

[Note that some Vessel designs 'share' categories, which is not shown.]

[Right-click view image in new tab for full size is recommended]

Some notes below

This took me a week to put together, though partially because I kept editing some stuff. Originally, they all had the same cloak design and same cloak color, and that...that was just ugly LMAO So I changed that.

All Vessels were made with the same base (probably obvious) except for Lost Kin, because of course, Lost Kin ALWAYS has to be contrary, the little shit.

The Vessels are separated into the 'category' that they're unique to, which is in turn split into where they're 'found' in-game. Though again, the game reuses designs frequently (an example being the Sibling Shade with four horns: that's also a Vessel shown in the Godhome Cutscene, and the Deepnest ram horn is also a Sibling in the abyss.)

This was actually really REALLY fun to do. It was originally jsut a way to make Reference Sheet icons for my fics, to remind myself which name belonged to which Vessel, and I just...Had too much fun and decided to do ALL of them.

I'm showing more love the Vessels than the Pale King ever did lmao

There are 33 Canon designs in the game (Or at least 33 that I was able to identify) and 6 "canon" cut content designs. 6 Vessels on this page were made for fun, and to fill some space.

I'm also aware that some of the designs on this page might look similar to some Vessel OCs that someone might've created, but I assure you, most of these designs were taken from the game assets. And the onest that were are my own design (Velvet and Luna) or made by just messing around. The similarity is unintentional.

As a side note, I kinda want to make some more of mess-around designs. I've got some more ideas, and one more unnamed OC I might do.

If anyone's interested in the full-size individual images of any of the Vessels [free of the category tint] I'd be willing to send you them. I had to scale this image down by half just for Tumblr to upload it LMAO. I won't be posting them individually.

That being said, please don't use this page for anything beyond a visual reference without permission, please?

EDIT: I FORGOT I WANTED TO INCLUDE THIS TOO

HERE HAVE THE REFERENCE PAGE FOR ALL THE UNIQUE VESSEL ASSETS I FOUND

my vessel oc Soul: now with 2 more arms, a 70% meaner attitude, seasoned with 100% unethical experimentation (sanctum patented), and a brand new set of... pupils. Lovely.

Some Leaf exploration :]

They used to have the cloak from when they escaped the Birthplace, but a while after coming back to Hallownest, they made a new cloak for themself with leaves from Greenpath. And use a piece of fabric Hornet gave them as a little bandana that holds their charms, which I changed to a redder purple to not clash so much with the rest of their design

Speaking of charms, it usually wears just Weaversong and/or Wandering Compass, but it also has Gathering Swarm and Thorns of Agony. I tried to mostly stick to charms that aren't one of a kind, like compass and swarm, but I think thorns probably wouldn't be something hard to get a version of it from around the same spot, and I have an idea for how Leaf got weaversong that I'll explore more later.

When they grow up, they're not that tall, but still a head taller than Hornet. They're not a big fighter, but they got a new nail after their old cracked one fell apart. I'm thinking of maybe them staying more in the Queen's Garden, they're closer to the root side of their ancestry, they like plants :] (they don't get even close to the place WL is hiding though)
