Unbound from Silk's cruel designs, the people of Pharloom are now free to rest, to heal, to weave from its once-gilded foundations a gentler truth. And for our heroine: a place to call home, golden and warm. A collab w @antlerlad.bsky.social, whose vibrant colors brought wondrous life to my lines🤍

An illustration of several characters from Silksong and Hollow Knight sat together in a cozy cuddle pile in front of the Bellhart central monument. The lighting is very warm, reflecting the brassy bells that surround them.

From left to right: the Hollow Knight (in whose eyes the Radiance corruption is much-diminished), the Vessel/Knight sitting in HK's lap, Lace leaning against Shakra's leg, Hornet kneeling with one hand around Lace's shoulder and the other resting on Shakra's thigh, Shakra behind Hornet resting her head between Hornet's horns, and behind them all sleeps the Bell Beast.

Today is the birthday of cartoonist Jackie Ormes (Aug. 1, 1911-Dec. 26, 1985), the first Black woman to create a newspaper comic strip that was read nationally in the US. She created Torchy Brown in Dixie to Harlem, Torchy in Heartbeats & Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger. Patty Jo became a toy doll.
