Today, I got around to finishing my new Hollow Knight parody. It features a crossover with Animal Crossing. The Collector went to the Animal Crossing Museum to show Blathers his latest catch. The problem is that Blathers is afraid of bugs. The Collector is quite enthusiastic about his collection, so he is just shoving that Grub right into Blathers’s face. There is a bug preserve in the Animal Crossing Museum. I feel that the Collector would thrive in the Animal Crossing world. Most of the things that you do there is collect stuff. In his back, the Collector is carrying...

Today, I did a Hollow Knight Mario Kart parody. I swapped out all the Mario characters for Hollow Knight bugs. In the foreground, I have the Pale King. He has the only kart with chainsaws. As the King, he is a bit of a cheater. He always has to be number one, no matter the cost. For his princes, he gave them karts that have normal wheels. This makes it easier for him to ruin the carts of anyone that dares to approach him. He is the type of King that wants to rule forever, no cost too great.  ...

Today, I was in the mood to make a painting parody, using Hollow Knight characters. I chose an easily recognizable painting: The Girl with a Pearl Earring by Jan Vermeer.

I figured that it would coil around both horns, instead of making it a solid piece. The final thing was adding the shine of the fabrics and the earring.   I had to match the shading of...

This is my latest Hollow Knight parody. I was looking at random things for inspiration. It was then when I saw a manga panel from Baki. It featured Oliva carrying his wife about. I decided to do a similar scene with the Pale King and the White Lady. The Pale King is carrying his wife to the Royal Bedchambers, while his retainers bowl in awe. I only added four retainers in order not to steal focus. The design of the White Lady is a little different. It is a combination of her look in the Queen’s Garden, and her early...

I was brainstorming a new Hollow Knight parody. Normally, I like to mix them with artworks. While browsing at art, I came up with this idea, instead. It was such an obvious parallel that it is brilliant. I referenced the Beatles with Hollow Knight characters.   I chose the Nailmasters and the Nailsage as stand ins for the Beatles. They are in the City of Tears crossing the road. I added notations to the lineart to remember which lines are white and which ones are black. One of the nailmasters is without his shoes.   He is almost smoking. I...
