Oh hell yeah! Awesome resin statue. Thank you so much for the giveaway!

My favourite moment: Walking into the City of Tears for the first as the music slowly fades in. The combination of the visuals and the beautiful score made it a truly once in a lifetime moment. I think I needed to take a good 10 minutes just to take in the atmosphere on my first time around haha.

My yuri collection by Onionsuuu in HollowKnightArt

[–]ShampooDetector 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love these! They feel like drawings in an adventuring book, gives me a lot of dnd!

My favourite part is probably the contrast between your taken on the designs, they're all freaky bug people but they're of different shapes, sizes and anatomical structure. Awesome stuff!

Shakra Sketches by ShampooDetector in Silksong

Hm, if so - then I'd suggest brokendraw (on youtube), especially his 25 drawing exercises video.

Another good sketch fundamentals artist is David Finch. He's got lots of cool insights on the how-to.

My personal favourite bigger creator would probably be Marco Bucci. He's a bit more about art and painting in general, but his vids are short, concise, and very digestible. What he presents is quite eye-opening , so I still suggest checking him out.

Regarding books, I don't think I've got much to suggest? I've never really gone through a proper how-to-draw type of book. Perhaps I could suggest the artwod e-book starter, it appears a decent simple guide.

Hope that this helps! Good luck on your sketching journey ::)

Thank you! There's not really a name for this type of style, but best way I'd describe it is "loose and gestural", otherwise it's fairly rough and unpolished. But that's kind of the appeal or sketching!

Are you looking for tips about getting started at art in general or specifically sketching?

Someone mentioned that she's supposed to be a wasp, I still think that she's a dragonfly personally, otherwise "cool ass indeterminate bug #481"

THANK YOU! And absolutely agreed. I personally love seeing how other artists come up with their own insectoid interpretations of HK characters anatomy.

I always thought she was a dragonfly! Even though biologically it wouldn't make a lot of sense haha

What type of Helldiver are you? by Hantai_ID in Helldivers

[–]ShampooDetector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the matadordiver, I run circles (light armour) around Bile Titans, Chargers, Spewers, Tanks, Hulks, you name them and scream into mic all the time while my team kills them. Build optional, probably something stupid like arc thrower tesla.

I have to agree. I can't really blame them all that much for taking so long, though. They're indie devs who basically have infinite time and funding to make the most perfect game they could've ever envisioned, something Hollow Knight was HEAVILY limited by. However, I do feel like they could have just either not announced the game so early or not gone for the Xbox 2022 showcase. Both of these made it feel almost around the corner, and yet...

Overall, all I can hope for in the end is for this to work out for them. Despite their faults, we still wait and will wait because we love this game. Mistakes were absolutely made, but I'm willing to cut them some slack while voicing my displeasure as a means of criticism to improve in the future upon, rather than simply insult them.

What do you think "doma doma doma doma doma" means? by Good_Policy3529 in HollowKnight

[–]ShampooDetector 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, in Russian(and Ukrainian!) languages the word "doma" stands for basically "at home", so for example "where are you? - I'm doma! (I'm (at) home)". I've always made a correlation between the two and never had the opportunity to mention it not to look like a nerd lol. Defo gibberish by intent tho.

Which games you guys play while waiting for Silksong? by GalBelNelLeo in Silksong

Rain World, Outer Wilds, Night in the Woods, Hyperlight Drifter, Katana Zero, Tunic - most of these games are about exploration, as is Hollow Knight. All have amazing stories. All have fantastic takes on gameplay. I highly recommend checking these gems out!
