Part 1 of a comic I like to call "The Mourners". It's gonna be awhile before I can get part 2 up cause I'm working on a commission. I had this already made, so I figured I might as well share.
Originally each Mourners was going to get their own comic and in depth look at the lesson Radi learns from them. However, I don't have forever to work on this comic, so I've had to condense a lot of ideas into one. The most important, however, I feel should have its own comic to flesh itself out.
wanted to render a cool lil hollow knight idea i had in my mind. basically a concept/symbolism?? piece that i wouldnt see ACTUALLY happening, but wanted to feed my imagination with :)
ngl it would be so cool to see the pale king actually in battle. i doubt he'd fight the radiance head-on tbh WHAGAHS but hope you enjoy this!
I figured out the reason why vessels grow and what causes it to happen.
The vessels were created of god and void, that's literally just stated by The Pale King. What matters here is the god part of the statement. Specifically The White Lady.
The White Lady is a tree, a plant, whatever. That means that her children are ALSO partially a plant (alongside being partially wyrm). Plants grow when exposed to LIGHT.
This explains why The Hollow Knight is the largest vessel out of every single one because they were CONSTANTLY around a light source (PK). It also explains why all the other vessels in the abyss and other spots are much smaller, since much like a plant, their growth is stunted if not exposed to light.
The big objector to this theory is of course, broken vessel. However I believe that their exposure to The Infection / The Radiance (aka another light source) explains their growth. It could also explain their uneven horns, which is not present in other vessels.
Anyways boom yeah game theory thanks for watching.
