wtf who let them eat infection wtf :(

some doodles for my pk hibernation au, plus a new design for him. i still like his previous centipede look, but i think this design not only fits the au better, but is also less annoying to draw haha

After his hibernation was interrupted, the Pale King was left not only in a state of shock, but also stripped of his powers. Once a glowing beacon of hope for the common bugs, now nothing more than a shadow of his former self, driven by intense feelings of guilt, confusion and pure survival instinct.

Left powerless and ravenous, he hunts down and devours the most primitive of bugs in order to regain his strengths. That is until he is found by Hornet, who barely recognizes her father at a glance. Whether it is out of pity or genuine concern, she takes him to Dirtmouth, a place in which she and Hollow now resided.

HOLLOW KNIGHT ANNIVERSARY POST!!! GOOBER!! I AM SO HAPPY!! 6 YEARS OF EPIC BUG GAME!!

omg he's so silly <3

terrible creature

ok i have a concept where hollow can use what little essence they still have to summon some kind of essence spiky shield symbol????? but they can't control it very well, so this just appears at random and they gotta go sit in the sad corner so they can calm down and not accidentally poke someone with their angry spiky essence? (doesn't stop ghost and hornet from trying to comfort them)

old sketch again !! this goober deserves a lot of head pats!!
