A reference sheet for Kishiko Bushido's Silksong OC, drawn by Joybilance. The visual is titled "Kishiko Bushido Silk-Sona Reference", written in Trajan (Hollow Knight's font). Kishiko's Silk-sona has a black and teal cloak made of two parts: a black cloth poncho with a teal ribbon tied around holding it up, and a long teal underdress. She has white fox ears, with a black bow tied at the base of the left ear, and a tail that comes from out from under her cloak. The reference features a front view, side view, and splash art of Kishiko jumping down. There are floral corner borders on the top left and bottom right, with a center design that feature Kishiko's head and her shippo design. Joybilance's logo is in the bottom left.

༻ Silk-Sona Reference Sheet ༺

Made in anticipation of Silksong streams!
Can't wait to start the play though…
And hope you guys are excited too!

Here is this weeks Lemlin Lesson! Burnout~

Highlighting the head/hair because I never drew hair sprawled out like this and I’m really proud of it 😭

A banner featuring Joybilance’s sona. She lays down amongst a bed of draping curtains, dressed in a Hanbok fashioned similarly to her regular design. Surrounding her are lanterns with twisting frames and long tassels — but she examines closely a cracked lantern with a frayed tassel.

Something Broken, Insecure.

After a month of stalling, I finished my banner! My profile is all decked out now 🥹

An outfit design for anamatronicfish's OC, 2.0 (it/its). 2.0 has short, blue hair that comes out in spikes, and light blue eyes over black sclera. It wears a black collared shirt with collar pins in the shape of power buttons over a white and black sweater with a circuitry pattern on the sides, as well as a power button badge on its chest; a lacy pattern lines the sleeves. It also wears a black skort with a pattern reminiscent of the pokemon Rotom. Its grey leg warmers are worn asymmetrically, and it wears black sneakers with blue accents.

A design sheet that contains the design work for 2.0's outfit. The design process includes rough concepts, refined concepts, pattern explorations, and color trials.

FOR: anamatronicfish
An outfit design commission for their OC, 2.0!
We discussed and combined lots of ideas, the moodboard they sent me was really inspiring! In the end, we came up with this cute sweater/skort combo.

A drawing of Kishiko Bushido in Cult of the Lamb inspired robes She wears a black, teal-orange tipped ram's horns headpiece, with a diadem-like bridge between them that holds a smooth blue oval shaped gemstone. The horns curl around her orange-black fox ears. It also covers the some of the back of her head, with a light blue, diamond shaped gem at the center Her eyes are a matching light blue, with black sclera. There are subtle dark circles under her eyes, and a black gradient creeps up from her hands (fully black at her fingertips, fading out just before her elbows) Her orange-white gradient hair is so long that it trails a little on the ground behind her. Two thick, shorter pieces are tied with a pair of bells each at either side of her face. At the back, two braids hang, tied at the middle. Her fox tail is the same orange-white gradient She wears long robes made up of several layers: - white-black gradient fur collar, connected to a dull bronze curio (with a circular light blue gem), which holds up a yellow-teal gradient decorative cloth shawl and 3-strand orange ropes that go full circle around her. The collar is also connected to a decorative red pointed-ends stole, at the ends of which dangle large light blue marbles - plain, loose black short sleeve shirt with sleeves just is under the stole, with thin black arm bands - black-teal cloth wrap obi ties around her waist, padded with fur underneath and secured with a rope. - Under the obi is a black-teal-yellow gradient 2-slit dress cover - Under the dress cover is a red dress that goes down to her cover her calves. It's patterned with a lighter red shippo pattern, and the hem is lined with black ichor splats Tight fitting leggings end in points over either side of her ankles. A rope loops twice twice around her lower left leg. Below the legging is another decorative band. Dark grey bandages (stained with blood at the bottom) are wrapped round the arches of her feet, which are otherwise clean and bare

"Will you… join us?"

(Joy casually dropped this Cult of the Lamb inspired fit, and I was so excited with how it looked that wanted to try color design for it!)

An old outfit design commission for Nico (Hollowvessel), inspired by a gold and white Beta fish.

About a couple of years ago I had a mini series/SKEB service where I inserted characters and OCs into my old personal project. It was a really fun design exercise and I'm thinking of bringing it back...

Here are some samples for anyone interested!

A full-body sketch of Joybilance's OC, Six. Six is a man with blue-black hair, glasses, and is wearing a grey-white coat and a wetsuit. Instead of his usual diving shoes he has long fins with blue tips. He poses in a relaxed manner, a bright smile on his face.

Drawing long fins are very fun.

Hey @cultofthelamb.bsky.social-
Rate the setup? 😳👉👈

I’m posting works on a site called Purely Human now! It’s a fairly new site, but its mission to further bring human artists together is lovely to see and I want to broaden my horizons.
Check my profile here!

A painted portrait of Kishiko Bushido holding up a black, dripping heart with her left hand with a big smile on her face; her eyes glow a bright green against the dark atmosphere. She wears a cloak and a bell similar to the lamb from "Cult of the Lamb".

An ominous Kishiko portrait to match with the rest of her setup as she played the Woolhaven DLC in her last stream!

21. Headcanon time:
Six is a man of very simple flavors. Coffee? Plain latte or straight black drip coffee. Seasoning? Salt and pepper. I don't think he'd even eat a salad with any dressing.
He likes very natural flavors without any enhancements; especially with fish.

It wasn’t intentional but I do see what you mean, the shapes and layers are pretty similar haha
I think it might be an unconscious decision because the nightgown design you’re talking about was my favorite out of all the concepts.

A series of full-body sketches featuring Kishiko Bushido (orange-haired Kitsune with black-tipped ears) in different outfits, each representing a season. The outfits include a pinafore-raincoat combo, a double-layered summer dress, an academia-esque vest and topcoat, and a thick coat over a skirt and long scarf.

An outfit for every season!

Getting really into sketching outfits, so I gave Kishiko (@kishikobushido.bsky.social) a few fits.

A circular illustration of Joybilance's sona. She is depicted in a white and pale blue Hanbok Jeogori and a collared shirt, both with decorations akin to stained glass. Around her are Forget-Me-Nots, Chamomiles, and Vanilla flowers; she holds a few stalks of Lavender in both hands. Her eyes are closed in an almost peaceful expression.

Something Soft, Something Pure.

Slowly getting everything for my new sona design together; this is my new PFP!
Note that all the flowers here are deliberately chosen.

Joybilance’s OC Six in 3 different outfits, all with some kind of aquatic motif. The three displayed include: - A Jeogori-esque shirt under a crewneck sweater - A nautical-inspired shirt over large pants - A frilled top, corset, and pants combo with jellyfish motifs Six’s hair is also styled in 3 different ways.

Coming up with outfits is fun.

Me when I can’t draw my OC in turtlenecks and high collars because he has gills on his neck

A collection of sketches featuring Joybilance’s OC, Six. Six is shown using his water powers in several different ways, including: - Communicating with fish - Creating small water currents for himself to swim through - Heating up water - Making water cold and splashing it on his face - Wringing out water from wet towels

Instantly heating up water sounds like a really good ability right now.

A sketch page of Joybilance's OC, Six, utilizing his water powers in several different ways, including: - An umbrella - A projectile akin to a watergun - Healing burns and scrapes To the side is a roughly colored illustration of Six, hand raised as a huge surge of water circles around him. While the other sketches portray Six using his powers in non-serious ways, this depiction is much different and much more authoritative.

Is it cheating to use your water powers in a pool party?

A digitally-painted illustration for Kishiko Bushido. Kishiko is a half-kitsune wearing a white dress with blue accents and frills on the hem of the dress and sleeves, while her SO Velle Njord is in a regal Nutcracker Prince outfit. The area surrounding them is filled with Christmas decorations and gifts; A fireplace has a garland with a bell and stockings, as well as candles, a picture frame of a Kishiko doodle, and a wreath with a black bow above it. Gold tinsel wraps around pillars to the side, and there are paintings of a butterfly and a fox and weasel. A Christmas Tree stands behind the duo, and below it are various gifts and items referencing a variety of games that Kishiko has played over the past year, including but not limited to: - Superliminal (Chess piece) - Needle (Hollow Knight) - Nautilus Shell (ABZU) - Raincoat (Little Nightmares 1 and 2) - Pair of Geese (Untitled Goose Game) The fireplace lights up the area in a warm glow, while an ambient cool light shines from a corner.

This year's Christmas stream for Kishiko included this illustration, to which her community completed a puzzle for! A huge project with lots of details, I am honored to have worked on this.

20. I might have referenced this earlier, but as of today in 2026 it's been 10 years since Six came to be as an OC (He was made in 2016!). Six is my oldest active character and has grown to become my dearest one over time; it's amazing looking back and seeing the ways your OCs grow over time.
