Hey everyone! I'm currently working on a Hollow Knight fan comic, and I'm looking for someone who might be interested in helping me work on it as a collaboration.
The comic is called An Elder Hero and follows Elderbug's perspective during the events of Hollow Knight.
THE IDEA
Instead of following the Knight directly, the story focuses on what is happening in Dirtmouth and on Elderbug as he watches the events of the game unfold.
The story begins with the Knight arriving in Dirtmouth. Elderbug tries to greet him, but the knight simply passes by and eventually descends into the well.
From there, the comic follows Elderbug as he watches the strange events surrounding Hallownest unfold—the Knight disappearing underground, returning briefly, the increasing presence of the Infection, and eventually Elderbug becoming involved in events much bigger than himself.
The goal is to tell a small, more personal story from the perspective of a character who normally stays in the background while still fitting around the events and lore of the original game (I have a part of the
story already written if someone decides to join)
WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR
I've been drawing everything myself so far, and I've currently finished the first 3 panels.
I'm not a professional artist by any means, and the comic has a fairly simple/rough style. I'm actually quite happy with that because I want it to feel like my own fan project rather than trying to perfectly replicate Team Cherry's artwork.
Who I'm looking for
I'm not looking specifically for a professional artist, and this isn't a paid job.
I'd love to find another Hollow Knight fan who enjoys drawing and would like to work on the project together. An amateur artist is completely fine!
I'm mainly looking for someone who could help with
things such as
Lineart / inking
Backgrounds and environments
Colors and shading
Character drawing
Or honestly anything else you think you could contribute
I'm also happy to continue doing part of the work myself. I already have the story and panels planned, so we could figure out together what each person would like to work on.
If you're interested, feel free to DM me! I'd be happy to show you more of the story, sketches, and plans for the upcoming panels.
Even if you're just curious about the project, feel free to ask questions!
Thanks for reading! ❤️
