Here is a Hollow Knight Fanart inspired on a Henri Fuseli painting. I hope you like.
Norwegian Cruise Highlights: Paintings and Towels Oragami
I would like to say that I had a good time within this cruise. The sad reality is that I enjoyed my time off the stupid thing. This was back in 2017. There was a Tropical storm that coincided with my birthday. Rather than doing the sensible thing of giving us full refunds, the cruise decided to sail ahead through the storm. This was our first time on a cruise and also the last time. My mom had a bunch of muscle pain from the humidity. I suffered from terrible nauseas from the ship moving left and right a little...
Hollow Knight Joyce Ballantyne Fanart
I did a new Hollow Knight fanart. The style is pinup. I used as reference this painting by Joyce Ballantyne. She was one of the few female artists that painted in pinup style.

Hornet always had difficulties getting along with weavers. They do not care much for hafflings like her. Well, Hornet’s other half is dragon or Wyrm. Dragons have traditionally been at the top of the food chain, regardless of their height. I got...
Hollow Knight Joaquin Sorolla Painting
I did a new Hollow Knight fanart. It is based on an impressionism painting by Joaquin Sorolla. Unlike other impressionist artists, he worked with warm earth tones. This is best noticed in this beach painting. He sketched the figures from life. In this painting, a guy is helping a maiden remove her wet bathing suit. He is holding up the towel to wrap her up, while also leering at her. In my version, the bather is Hornet and the other person is Shankra. I simplified the background by removing the other humans. This made it a more intimate moment between...
