My piece for the @huntersjournalzine ! I’m a huge fan of Hollow Knight, so it was really cool to get to do one of the boss spreads. This zine is SO insane, I just can’t wait to see it in person!!
Hornet from Hollow Knight, 100% hand-sewn by me. The moment I beat this hard but fun, beautiful storytelling of a game, I instantly became a fan and have always wanted to do something as a tribute.
I also wanted to challenge myself in handsewing another plush after the Kuriboh one and thought Hornet is perfect as practice, plus she’s easily one of my favorite characters in the game. Despite her simplistic design, her head shape is actually the toughest part for me to figure out… The plush overall is not perfect but I did the best I could and pretty proud of how she looks!
Special thanks to my talented plush-maker friend (boonmake_ on Instagram) for providing me useful tips in creating Hornet’s head shape and cloth, as well as giving me the white fabric!
(She’s now chilling on my work desk alongside with my small Hollow Knight collection :D )
My favorite ending is “Embrace the Void”, but I can’t deny the atmosphere and beauty of this epilogue. And what a soundtrack, mmmmm … To mix in the plot of all the main endings as a single story is a mesmerizing spirit. This time I combined watercolor and pentel’s brush with paint.
