A Hollow Knight: Silksong enemy fan concept.
On the right, three centipedes mimicking the various Rosary Necklaces found in the game.

On the left, a Hunter's Journal mock description:

Tiny centipede that mimics a rosary braid, easily blending into existing caches. It sneaks onto sleeping or unaware bugs and uses its barbed tongue to leech nutrients from their shells.

---

Indeed, the beads of their body are not true rosaries but their own shells - a remarkable adaptation that has nonetheless restricted their range of efficiency to the castes of Pharloom.

---

Despite their purpose as a mimic, I do on occasion find myself missing a rosary braid whenever I pull these bugs off of me. Do they congregate in numbers? Are they taking them? And if so, where?

TOP LEFT: Simplified top view of the Mimics.
"Incredibly weak enemies, more of a gimmick than anything. Will go down in a single hit while active."

BOTTOM LEFT: Hornet waking up from a bench with drained health, and swatting a Mimic off her.
"When loading a save at a bench, there's a chance Hornet's life bar will be drained a bit. Hornet will notice something's off, and immediately swat the Mimic off herself.
If there were any rosary strings in her inventory, there's a chance for one to be missing. (Necklaces aren't affected for ease)"

TOP RIGHT: Statue and hanging rosary stashes infected with Bead Mimics.
"May also be found around the world, inhabiting usual rosary caches. Will not react unless disturbed."

BOTTOM RIGHT: Hornet defeating a Pilgrim Groveler and a Grand Reed, with Bead Mimics jumping off them as a result.
"Will occasionally spawn off defeated enemies, replacing their usual rosary drop when it occurs."

Extra info I couldn't fit on the other pages.

Other things to note:
-They can damage you while on the field. I don't know if they should do standard hit=mask damage, or if it should take several sustained beats of up-close scuttling to eventually accumulate a mask of damage. In other words, you can die to them if you're bad enough.

-A few ways to prevent them from bench spawning on you would be to carry no rosary strings at all, or to equip some kind of tool. I keep thinking Magnetite Dice due to the luck mechanic, but maybe that's too complicated.
-In fact, just as I was writing this I'm considering maybe the Magnetite Brooch would be a way to enable their spawning due to its rosary attraction. Y'know, make it so they're not a permanent nuisance but you can willingly enable them if you want to. Maybe somebody with better tool knowhow can fathom this better.

A comedic spin on a boss fight from Silksong: Hornet, styled to resemble Homer Simpson, faces off against the Moorwing, whose head now resembles that of Moe Szyslak.

First Panel: Sans from the Dusttale AU is driving in a truck with a shocked expression. He's saying "My brake line! What did you do to my brake line!?", which indicates that the brake line to the truck has been severed, and he is now unable to stop it.

Panel Two: Somewhere in Snowdin, Sans crashes through a roadside guardrail and flings himself and his truck off a cliff. As tears of blood run down his face, he smiles and accepts his fate.

FIRST PANEL:
---Sans approaches Papyrus with a plate of "spaghetti".

Sans: hey papyrus, i made spaghetti, your favorite.

Papyrus: SANS, HOW MANY TIMES MUST I TELL YOU THIS? JUST BECAUSE I COOK SPAGHETTI ALL THE TIME DOESN'T MEAN IT'S MY FAVORITE.
-----
SECOND PANEL:
---Sans brings the plate to his face while Papyrus turns to look.

Sans: huh, good thing it's not actually spaghetti, then.

Papyrus: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
-----
THIRD PANEL:
---A closeup of the plate reveals the spaghetti is actually made of hoodie drawstrings.

Papyrus: SANS! ARE YOY TEARING UP YOUR CLOTHES TO MAKE JOKES NOW!?
-----
FOURTH PANEL:
---Papyrus is now holding the plate and is questioning Sans. Sans looks nervous.

Sans: i mean, technically they're not my clothes.

Papyrus: WHAT? YOU MEAN TO SAY YOU STOLE THEM?

Sans: not sure, but stolen or not...

Sans stands in the entrance to the Underground, where Flowey is first encountered. Flowey is now an amalgamated combination of himself and Sans, as several instances of the two continuously grow out of him in bizarre shapes, ways and combinations, leaving him near unrecognizable. Behind Sans is the gateway to the Ruins, which itself is also sprouting growths in the forms of Sans.

Sans: ...somebody's definitely getting ripped off.

Finally got around to uploading some of the more favorable shots from Cephalovirus as their own standalone pieces, for crisp image viewing convenience. (Links in Reply)
Do note this does not include all the scenes, just the shots I'm particularly fond of.

Papyrus, from the game that made Sans Undertale famous.
Finished my first playthrough the other day, so I'm contractually obligated to draw him.

Art Fight An art gifting game

I honestly don't know how active I'll be with Artfight due to the mixture of project work and general burnout I've been feeling, but we'll see how things go when the date gets closer. Also throwing in out if you want to take a stab at it.

On a significantly more serious note, imagine my genuine shock discovering the game format isn't just "RPGMaker style but in full screen" and actually by default boots up in 640 X 480 resolution.

10 years of cultural osmosis and this game somehow still managed to surprise me, what the hell.

If Undertale is such a critically acclaimed game and cultural phenomenon, how come I can't fully spell out "Homer Simpson" and have to settle for first name only?
Yeah, "great" game you got here guys, reeeally looking forward to it πŸ™„

A page depicting a woman, Alma, in various shots, many of which see her engaging in multiversal tech and obtained treasures.

Roy is there too. He has dialogue which reads:
"Those worms are looking pretty radioactive. Seems like your calibrations were a bit off.

But don't worry! I'm sure someone somewhere has those coordinates written down correctly.

...Just don't ask me, I'm gonna be busy for the next 45 minutes."

Wanted to make a character in contrast to Roy's usual tomfoolery.

Almanac, or Alma for short, leader of a band of interdimensional pirate-types who take treasures and other trinkets from obscure corners of the multiverse.

Big thanks to everyone who's expressed interest in the content made for this project thus far. I hope the final product satisfies once it's complete. Especially since I feel I lost the plot at some point when making the art, haha.
