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

‘Self-Portrait as a Chimera’ Inkwell by Sarah Bernhardt. Made in Paris, ca. 1880, medium is bronze. Art Institute Chicago reference number: 2021.2

“French actor and artist Sarah Bernhardt was perhaps the first global superstar, with legions of admirers spread across Britain, continental Europe, North and South America, and as far afield as Australia. In this fantastical bronze inkwell, she portrayed herself as a chimera, a mythological creature composed of disparate body parts. Here, Bernhardt joined her human torso and head to clawed haunches, bat wings, and a dragon-like tail. The work is a key example of her inspired use of visual media to fashion and promote her own image.”

Boop!

They are my OCs <3

Check the " #The headspace" on my tumblr!

Someone's headspace can look vastly different from someone else's! Mine personally is an office building! But some else's could be a school, a circus, anything! Anything that helps reflect themselves and express what feels right ;P

These are the big dudes,

Anger (her job is to protect)

Left brain (intellectual one..big boss)

Right brain (also known as "heart", also also doubles as "the body")

Anxiety (her job is also to protect and keep herself healthy to keep the host healthy)

The brains are mainly the BIG big dudes.

There are also those who work under them!

the only ones Ive draw for now are the Braincells and the Vessels but there are also:

Braincells(Brain)

Vessels (Heart)

Muscles(Anger)

Nerves (Anxiety)

The Core Memories :3

They double as "core memories" but also "ages"... A core memory is created by the beginning of the year, but can split if two or more BIG changes happen to the host.

Andd extra characters <3

We have

Judgement ( also doubles as Duality and Morality)

Her Jury (the ones who work under her)

The Pastor (also doubles as spirituality, beliefs, and religious trauma)

And we have entities who became "disorders"

Depression or "Muerte" (was "Sadness" in the past)

Envy (was "Jealousy" in the past)

Those who become disorders are not inherently bad! Anxiety is technically a disorder!

But while Anxiety is occasionally given to a nice mental hospital, there are some who were abused in an asylum that just made them worse.

The doctors in those hospitals are representations of meds... Anxiety basically got the meds that worked for her and envy and depression didn't.
