Round 3 of the art style challenge!
⚠️WARNING! ⚠️
The bonus sketches may require background knowledge about the game and its world AND
it gets VERY angsty and dark!
Also this is based on the amazing bug designs of Fl0Y4uwu (on twitter)!
Plus I gave moth Azira some cute little glasses as a little nudge to the wonderful Bug Omens AU by ArtBeanWithAJ1 (also twitter)~

shhhh they're sleeping
Anyway, tidbit sleeping hc with the siblings because I just had a thought and I'd lpve to just see them sleeping together even when they have their own room, either by taking turns using each one of their room or just sprawled all together in the living room with a clumsily made pillow fort (Ghost learnt about it and decide they must get them)
Additional hc of mine is that because Hollow is the most comfortable around Hornet and Ghost, Hornet will relent for Hollow and Ghost, and Ghost who just loves doing anything with Hollow and Hornet they all can finally get a proper rest/sleep when together
Ghost probably know, that's why they just will just come to them with blankets, pillows, and plushies and decide they're gonna sleep together anytime the three of them were in the same place

Frigid Steel, Boiling Wraith
Thinking about how pale ore is eerily chill to the touch
about how PV's spells, likely learnt from its father, take on the same shape as nails made out of an ore allegedly related to its parents
about how those spells are pretty much a solid state of soul for a few moments
about how solid state of matter is often the most "cold" state, generally speaking
about how cold it's often associated with lack of emotion and corpses
Also thinking about how the knight's spells, learned from the snails, is more raw, more volatile
stated and shown to literally burn opponents, more of a hot blast than a proper solid mass
shaped and named after haunting ghosts, spectres that do not lay to rest, despite soul itself being present in the whole environment and not necesarily directly linked to sentient beings
about how it is strong emotions what fuels their transformation into their more powerful state through the usage of void, a volatile yet maleable substance, and the opposite of light
if you want to, you can get this drawing in full quality and ready to be a phone wallpaper at my kofi page completely free of charge (although i wont be mad if you leave a lil tip)

i cannot keep this jailed in my head any longer okay. I firmly believe the hollow knight has never and will never use a contraction in their life and what I mean by that:
like Ghost? absolutely. despite their very stoic nature they're out here spiting their 'purpose' as a empty vessel by speaking (however they might) in the most slurred, disjointed, vulgar way they can manage and they take great delight in it.
But I just KNOW in my heart of hearts that Hollow is the most pretentious, archaic guy out there. once you get past all the trauma and horror and pain and their siblings finally pull a coherent sentence out of them--like Ghost and Hornet are expecting their questions of "how do you feel what do you want" answered with, like, "I'm sort of fine I just want to rest" NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Hollow is going to hit them with thee thou and thy, okay. They were "raised" (loose!! Loose term, pale king my reluctant beloved) by an ancient wyrm-turned-king, okay. "Are you okay" is going to get the answer of "thy fears art wasted, siblings mine, on a vessel so impure and broken as I."
OKAY 😭 okay? I just need anyone to feel me. Like do you feel me? Hollow deserves to be a little pretentious. I want to read it so bad

Their "dalliance" consisted of a lot of fighting over who was the top and you can't convince me otherwise
