Tried to draw the lifeblood cocoon room in king's pass

I'm gonna try to draw some backgrounds and places from Hollow knight in perspective, and this one is the first!

Too bad my markers ran out halfway

Lifeblood.

This serious painting took 3 hours to paint this time. Feeling down nowadays , thought that doing some serious mode painting would cheer me up.

Hi, second post to tumblr, uh. And uhm. I like hollow knight, and I really like the higher beings specifically so heres what I think the lifeblood creature might look like (yes I know its humanoid, I cant draw the hk style properly :[ ) <- that's actually a lie, I just like to draw humanoid bugs

And uhm, heres a headcannon I have for them:

So I head cannon that the life blood creature/god is also a reborn wyrm but it came to Hallownest WAYYYYY before the Pale King and even the Radiance, in fact it arrived in Hallownest when the ancient civilisation was still around, and this wyrm(I need to find a name for them ;-;) died from void poisoning but when they rebirthed they developed an immunity from the void and even became kinda allies with the ancient civilisation. Btw I'm purely bullshiting my way through this headcannon because I know NOTHING of the life blood creature or any about life blood other than the PK didn't like it. WHICH REMINDS ME-

Abner (name I gave PK) can sense the the lifeblood seeds and the cocoons are the product of a wyrm which he can sense and it doesn't sit right with him(since wyrms are very territorial ig)

And that's why pk banned the use of lifeblood 👍

Also ig the backstory of the lifeblood creature/god/thing

Also sorry if this overlaps with anyone else's hcs cuz again I'm really new to tumblr, and I've only seen Lifeblood creature mentioned a couple times and seen approximately 2 art pictures of them.

I'm gonna cry now since this post is hella long ;-;
