For the art requests, could you draw Greenpath Vessel and/or Greenpath hanging out with Hollow, Hornet, Ghost, and Lost kin as siblings time? If you want ofc!

I really like your art style by the way!

This is one of the oldest asks I have received since I made this post, long time ago...

made some vessel designs for the au! well, it's a bit complicated since most of them are dead, but i wanted to see what they could look like if they were able to grow up like holly did. also included my oc, moss, cause i wanted to give them a refreshed design

now, that doesn't mean those vessels are alive in the au (as for moss, i'm still debating whether i want them to be part of it or not). but i think those make for a fun "what if" scenario

some extra info under the cut

While most vessels generally keep a similar body plan (two legs, two to four arms, and a slender body), some of them bear closer resemblance to either of their parents. This also applies to their height - those that share more traits with their father, Wyrm, tend to be shorter, although there are exceptions

Pure Vessel / Holly - their body resembles that of Wyrm, although they lack a tail. They're tall and possess white markings on their body and mask inherited from The White Lady

The Knight / Little Ghost - the shortest of the vessels pictured, similarly to their sealed sibling, they bear close resemblance to their father, although they're noticeably more slender once grown up

Broken Vessel / Lost Kin - they share the most traits with Wyrm, including an additional pair of arms, plantigrade feet and a more stocky build. Their tail looks very similar to The White Lady's roots, possessing additional nubs. Although they seemingly share Wyrm's eyebrows, they are immobile and serve only as facial markings

Greenpath Vessel - a vessel which bears striking resemblance to their mother, with tentacle-like limbs instead of legs, and hands lacking distinct fingers. Just like Pure Vessel, their mask is covered in white markings

Moss - they closely resemble Little Ghost, both in appearance and in height. Their horns are asymmetrical and one of them is noticeably shorter than the other. They share Broken Vessel's root-like tail, although it's much shorter

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
