[image description: a half finished pencil drawing of the Hollow Knight, otherwise known as Glimmer in my au. They are sitting in a power wheelchair with a high backrest and headrest. They have a blanket wrapped around their waist, and it obscures their body below that point, leaving only their massive feet poking out. In their lap is a mosscreep, which they are petting with their hand; it is clearly enjoying the attention. Glimmer’s body and arm are shaded, but their feet are not. They look ahead, expressionless as Vessels tend to be, vaguely off to their right. Their scar goes through their right eye, splitting into two cracks between their gigantic horns. Where their left arm would otherwise be is a mass of melted carapace that fuses their torso together. end image description]

@shadowyscarletowls okay really tumblr? fuck it, i’m tagging you in the notes. god fucking dammit.

i had to be honest with myself, but i’m never going to finish this. i got to the wheelchair details and totally lost motivation. i don’t know how to draw wheelchairs, i’m planning on redesigning how bug wheelchairs work anyway, and i’ve changed how the vessels’ legs work, so this is now completely outdated. but for what it’s worth, i really liked this design while i was still working on it. i’m just never going to finish it, and you deserve to see what i came up with.

this doesn’t really make it obvious how ridiculously disproportionate they are asdkjhskj i suppose that’s part of the point though. they Look proportionate until you measure them. that is always how it works for glimmer, and it’s honestly really funny. how has their neck not snapped from the weight of their shell tbh.
