Heya, I'm Peridots, your average digital artist/entomology enthusiast—they/it/he or any pronouns, please! Haven't actually posted much art in quite a while, so be prepared for occasional Bug Facts and other such randomness. Spam likes and such are all appreciated here! Terfs, zionists and the like can turn 180° for free, however! Profile art by original-character-chaos—oooooh looks like someone sent me perfectly pfp-shaped gift art of my sona a little too close to april fools!

Filter: Nudity (Moderate) (not "female-presenting" nipples or whatever, but I've decided to put all filtered images under readmores)
July 5th: Phoenix for @aveskeep
Just finished my tenth Art Fight attack and you know what that means.
July 1st: Ox for @driftwoodmfb
Since for some reason I didn't start from the beginning I think I'll post them one at a time when I get to ten attacks (7/10 at the time of writing this), and then I'll post one a day! Art Fight has been taking up a majority of my time (I'm drawing way faster than previously thought possible), hence the inactivity, and I'm trying to finish one attack every day!
My sibling let me make a Wobbledog so here’s my beloved bug pup thing Seraph, in my attempt at making anatomical sense of these glorified Tootsie Rolls
I feel like I was supposed to post this earlier but I have an ArtFight
On a related note I may have played Dishonored more than Hollow Knight and Bug Fables combined
Just got every achievement in Dishonored!!
Besides the Dunwall City Trials. We don't talk about those
It has only been five hours,
Heya m8! Ya don't gotta answer this, jus' asking if it's alright to sketch out thorn for something.
It is! I was going to ask who Briar was anyway lol
Figured out how to convert an .mpeg to .mp3 again so! Here’s a song I made for one of my characters from around September to January! It starts at full volume so be warned of that
the bugs are goin to pride :D
Tried to make some palettes and ended up testing out four of the six so here: a Mosa, two Leifs, and dragon Corvo
i caved
A Vessel who managed to survive the initial fall into the Abyss, escaping into and wandering around Deepnest where they eventually reached the Queen's Gardens via a Stag tunnel, stealing from the corpses of traitor Mantises.
Born partially armless, though a pre-Gardens accident fractured their mask and shell, causing the void-weeping shown in their later form. On how they lived long enough to reach said form, I'm not sure if vessels actually need to eat--if they do at all it would probably be something like consuming soul or possibly void, rather than solid living material, and either way there's enough food in Hallownest if you're willing to kill for it.
How I draw the vessels' cloaks, in other words a Cloaks are Wings headcanon that went so far it looped around and became They're Cloaks Again
*turns them into dragons*
Back at it again at [comparing my favorite video games]
Hollow Knight and Dishonored spoilers below the cut:
--
Dh1 Corvo and Ghost:
-Silent protagonists who gain void-related powers to help them progress. Only the first power is actually required to beat the game, though the others make it much easier.
-Magical abilities are gifted at least partially by a black-eyed god
-Have close relations to a ruler who died after trying to save their kingdom from a pandemic. The sickness is not well understood, even after extensive research, and was brought by a usurper who was jealous/envious of the ruler's power. All attempts at containing the sickness failed, but it's (implied to be) cured in some endings
-The kingdom they leave for a while after the pandemic begins, re-enter, and then traverse is not doing so well, and the vast majority of its inhabitants try to kill them. Many of said inhabitants have lost their minds from the aforementioned disease
-Can kill the usurper late in the game
-Can kill rich people
-Most of their allies die. Can kill allies themselves
-Friends with a kind old dude serving as their main method of long-distance transportation (kind old dude does luckily not die)
-Despite being almost perpetually in contact with it, never actually get the sickness. Their biology (possibly-genetically-immune-serkonan, hollow void being) likely prevents it
-Worlds probably take place in the same time period (according to fans anyway; most human AUs I've seen of HK are at least somewhat inspired by victorian england)
-The name of one popular ship in each of their fandoms involve weapons?? One person in the ship is red, associated with the person who brought the disease, and can be killed by the protagonist (though in HK's case, both members apply to these criteria)
-Their empires/kingdoms call themselves the only ones when there clearly are more civilizations out there
--
Dh2 Emily and Hornet
-Protagonists of sequel games, major characters in the first games and close relatives of the first game's protagonists
-Daughters of royalty and trained to fight (likely from a young age)
-Heirs to the throne of the first game’s kingdom/empire but can’t actually become queens/empresses because Sequel Game Plot gets in the way
-Technically they can die in one of the first game’s endings but no one regards it as canon
-I haven’t actually played Silksong (duh) or Dishonored 2 yet though so this list may get much longer
it's amazing how perfectly the recent trans hunter (toh spoilers) post encapsulates my thoughts about trans Peril headcanons
(see also: x and x)
I'd be honored if you responded to this, but I love your art! It's literally so pretty!
@hollypies drew Hawksbeard in an art request (a whole month ago) but I wanted to thank them so uhh. Udelle!
Encountered a Phidippus audax today and it is the most creature ever
Some crossovery nonsense
Text-based stuff and individual images under the cut
It's unlikely anything Ghost's wearing actually belongs to them. Since having thousands of children and then abandoning all but one of them to die isn't very socially acceptable or physically possible, PK and WL--aristocrats rather than rulers now--had more like seven children or something, and I'm not sure if they got rid of the six who aren't the Hollow Knight somehow or actually raised them normally. It's most likely that they instead had just one heir, THK, but Ghost wouldn't exist in that case so whatever. They're just running around Gristol murdering people it's fine
Pendleton is a weevil, Martin's a snakefly and Havelock's a scorpion, Corvo's a velvet spider, Samuel is a water boatman, Daud's an assassin bug and Billie's an ant. While giving them their most recognizable traits (and while assigning each of them an actual clade of Real Life Bug, something Hollow Knight isn't particularly known for), I realized it's probably more sensible for them to have their own Empire and society (and biology) outside of Hallownest.
I'm not developing anything for Delilah I just wanted to draw her as a LeafWing
was playing the Knife of Dunwall again guess what happened
