I got around to making a new Hollow Knight parody. In this one, I am making a reference to a famous Arthur Sarnoff painting. It is called Scratched at Dawn. The wife of one of the dogs went to pick up her husband at the bar. He has been playing Pool for far too long. He has work tomorrow. The bulldog’s wife is holding up her umbrella menacingly, while she pulls at his dog ear. The other dogs at the bar are laughing. They find it amusing that such a big bulldog is getting pushed around by a poodle.  ...

Today, I made a new Hollow Knight fanart. I was tired of doing painting references. So, this time I decided to do a movie parody. I chose the movie poster for the Breakfast Club. It seemed like the perfect idea in my head. All that was left was to find the Hollow Knight equivalents of the protagonists from the Breakfast Club movie. For the beauty, I chose Hornet. She dresses in red, so she seemed like the perfect character to put in the foreground.   I balanced out her red colors with Brumm. Brumm is canonically the rebel of the...

Today, I got around to making a new Hollow Knight fanart. In this one, I am referencing the Gustav Klimt painting the Kiss. It wasn’t common for artworks to feature folks kissing.

Painters either painted like the old masters, or their work wasn’t featured in the Salon. IF your work wasn’t featured in the Salon, you didn’t sell. Klimt’s financial situation gave him the freedom to...

Today, I made a new Hollow Knight fanart. After looking through a bunch of famous paintings, I decided to do a reference to a famous Van Eyck Painting called the Arnolfini Portrait or Wedding. This painting is famous because of all the small details in the portrait. The original shows a couple in their bedchamber. They are about to consummate their union. Both are barefooted as shown by the shoes scattered about the bedroom. The wife is in the process of raising her skirt, to show her willingness to reproduce with her husband. There is a mirror in the middle...

Today, I got around to making my new Hollow Knight parody. This one took a little longer to make because I had a lot of characters to work with. I was making a parody of a painting called A Friend in Need, 1903. This painting was made by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge. Coolidge did an entire painting series of Dogs playing poker. From all his poker dog paintings, I chose the one I liked best for my Hollow Knight parody. Aside from poker, Coolidge has his dogs playing pool and other betting games. In my version, I had the Hollow Knight...
