painting based on the “final” boss fight of the game Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hornet vs. Grand Mother Silk. there’s a lot of silk, GMS is very big and bright, and Hornet is very small but brave and her cloak is the only bright spot of the painting.

so here's kris deltarune, i'm surprised that i've never drawn them before!

hopefully i'll have more art made soon, i'm always happiest when i'm making things!

i haven't drawn much in a while, for a lot of little reasons that all add up. i haven't felt well, i've been busy working double jobs, plus many other things. but when deltarune came out a few weeks ago, i knew i wanted to make something i felt proud of!

The Flanderization of ghibli in the public mind is just so insane to me. Acting like it’s entirely wholesome and cutesy but is really overtly anti capitalist, depict the horrors of war and environmental decline, and have TONS of body horror and depictions of death and disease. it legit annoys me
