Am I procrastinating everything to make a hollow knight skin? Yes.
This is how the idle animation is looking.
VesselFrin
SifVessel
SiffaronniVessel
Siffrin (no middle name) Vessel
The Suffering Knight.
Edit: nooooo I'm gonna have to make the hat smaller πππ
procrastinating that drawing by making horrible christmas edits. merry christmas everyone [act 5 spoilers!!! also one for kinda-maybe-a6-idk]
[2hats/a6se spoilers under the cut]
HEY GUESS WHAT? I'M STILL DOING THAT SKIN!!!
I present to you: VesselFrin (now in a size the game can actually read)
So, I haven't actually test it in game, anddd that's what I'll go do now!!!
Wish me luck cause if customknight creator (or the other options) doesn't work, I'll be as frustrated as a fly trying to get out through a closed window and probably won't draw anything ever again for the rest of the week.
Enjoy this hat vessel/suffering vessel/star vessel/whatever while I'm gone BYEEE
Edit: GAHHHHHHH IT (mostly) WOOOOORKSSS!!! -mad doctor laugh-
(bad quality video sorry)
I have no idea why the idle animation isn't working but that's a tomorrow me problem. BYEEE
The Suffering Knight will be real.
(@catsweatshirts before I forget to tag you again skfkkfkg It's not finished yet but I still wanted to show you the progress)
I didnβt realize you were the person who did the fanfiction tag drinks.
ahah yeah that's meeee!!
If you guys are interested they are all available as stickers on my RB!!
What is this? I'm not dead? What a miracle!
I had this idea beamed in my brain by some I'm-about-to-fall-asleep force and I went "WHERES MA PENCIL?!"
Anyways, enjoy the maybe platonic maybe not (up to viewers interpretation) loopdile.
Full under cut
Anyways I'll go to sleep now bye
someone's definitely drawn this already because this is literally how it ended
Hii, first time posting something here.... I drew Noelle hope you like it
yeah.
Heads up this contains a lot, and I mean A LOT of spoilers for In Stars And Time. Including: = Act 6 spoilers, including main mystery and secret encounter = Minimal Act 5 stuff = And a bunch of extra stuff that happens through Act 3 and 4. SO BASICALLY ALMOST EVERYTHING, FINISH THIS GAME COMPLETELY BEFORE READING (ESPECIALLY THAT ACT 6 ENCOUNTER, IT WILL LITERALLY BE THE FIRST THING I MENTION UNDER THE CUT)
With all those warnings out of the way-
Initial Concepts:
I feel it's important to show these sketches because they were the first ideas I ever had. I wasn't even entirely sure I wanted to make an AU at this point, I didn't even know how I'd approach it. But I started sketching and it's been on my mind since- SO! Isa is stuck in the timeloop. I know what his wish is and he DOES have a Loop equivalent! The grumpy dandelion guy is Roboro (it/they/he). Their name is a very small play on Ouroboros and they call Isa "Seedling". However, this post is not about them, as I'm gonna talk about it and Isa's dynamic in a separate post. In short, Isa is his normal loud self up until Act 3, right? They beat the King, they reach the end, and whoops, the loop isn't broken. So now, what happens is that Isa starts getting his brains out. He starts thinking more analytically and tries to problem solve.
The more stuck he gets in his head, the less he's able to perceive his friends as real people, and more like them holding him back. Because even if Isa explains that he's smart, that they shouldn't be surprised if he says something, shock of all shocks, reasonable- They'll forget it the next loop.
So Isa is stuck with trying to portray his confident, loud, supportive facade- Which is fine! It wouldn't be the first time! But it progressively gets more and more frustrating, as he tries to find answers and simply looses the energy to pretend to be stupid.
KILL KILL KILL:
I imagine Isa didn't have this encounter the same way that Sif did. Yeah, frankly, Isa is pissed with the sadness- But that's not why he goes through with this.
In this moment, Isa is trying to kill two birds with one stone. He's trying to get through this quickly, as well as reassure Mira that they can do this! If he shows how strong he is, then she'll feel safe right???
Poor Isabeau forgot that whenever he shows that he thinks ahead, he scares people. How could he forget that? How could he forget that he's inherently---
Family Quest:
I still think Odile is the one to call out to him (same with sus quest).
The hangouts I'm still figuring out, cause I don't think they'd too similar to base game- But, fun fact, at the end of this run, everyone agrees to keep travel together!
Isabeau brings it up, can't hurt if you can fix your mistakes right? And everyone agrees. The relief on Siffrin is the most palpable thing Isabeau has ever seen.
In this moment they love you. In this moment they all love you. In this moment---
Death Screen:
He loops back anyways. (This is one of the initial concepts that I ended up animating. This line in particular is when he reaches the end)
Act 5 Tarot Card:
NOW TO SEE MORE OF HIS PASSIVE AGRESSIVE SIDE
Thanks to @the-bitter-ocean for prescribing tarot cards to Isa (THEY ALL FUCK SO HARD) and for the RAW ASS LINE
If interacted with in act 5, predictably, Isa tears it apart. He doesn't need the divine judgement upon him, he's faced everyone's perception his entire life.
However, he tears it methodically. Tears it once in even pieces, twice, three times, and one of the pieces once more. In a way he isn't even getting his emotions out, it's like he's actively trying to tear it apart so it stops nagging him, like he wants to shut it up. Though, the Judgement card symbolizes rebirth, absolution and inner calling. In Act 6 he'd be able to look at it and find comfort and confidence in the card.
Act 5 Mirror:
And lastly, I have the Act 5 mirror picture. I haven't quite figured out how to make the normal ones work yet, however, I couldn't let go of the idea that Isa would not want to be in the picture.
The idea of seeing himself at all makes his head hurt and his stomach squeeze. The memory haunts him as he stands to the side and says the word. He didn't think the mirror would catch him.
I still have quite a bit of it to post, especially about Roboro, but I'm gonna leave it here for now.
I still gotta figure out the hangouts and potentially the dagger equivalent- but I have ideas for Bad Touch, the glass equivalent, and some extra little things that didn't happen in Siffrin's loops.
I needed to yap about this, because I've been slowly stacking up ideas and writing and I needed to share it at some point- If anyone read all this and has questions and stuff I fully welcome 'em!!
I've been thinking about this for a couple of days but there's something so beautiful about how from the very beginning, Siffrin is loved.
In the final time loop, after Siffrin has said horrible things to his family, they still go after him. They still go to rescue their friend. Their family. They still say how they want to stay with Siffrin and everyone else.
There was never a need for all the friend quests. There was never a need for Siffrin to solve all of their problems. He never needed to be useful. Because there was already a long journey before the start of the game, the start of the loops. And on that journey these characters grew to know and care for each other.
I draw sometimes in this weird cartoon style that makes my art look like I actually know what i'm doing βοΈ She/Her spanish and english
