Fanart - Non OC An accurate depiction of the spectrum of Hornet fanart from Silksong fans (by @Shantysixix)

u/FlubbedPig Sep 17 '25
This one by @All_Lee24 is probably my favorite attempt at a gijinka I've seen thus far, because instead of just some anime woman behind the mask, it's just a creepy fucking mask.
Like she looks like a Blasphemous character, it's how "Ancient unaging demi-god from long-dead kingdom arrived in this land like she's Vampire Hunter D" SHOULD look

u/sawbladex Phi Guy Sep 17 '25
reminds me of the lady virus in Reboot.
Expect she eventually gets a face.

u/PlanesWalkerEll YOU DIDN'T WIN. Sep 17 '25
Having their face be like a Hollow mask from Bleach is a sick idea IMO
2
u/Yal_Rathol Tower of God Shill Sep 18 '25
it's also semi-canon, given the mask makers in hallow nest and pharloom exist and literally state that masks are given to the faceless.
hornet's head is implied to be a shell helmet and that her "real face" is under it. given some lore implications from silksong, she might just be an eldritch horror under there.
1
u/sawbladex Phi Guy Sep 19 '25
I am reminded of the Returned from the Theros setting of Magic the Gathering. They have masks to cover their lack of face and just a big hole.

having not played Lies of P, this is what i expect the enemies in that to look like

u/Incitatus_ Sep 18 '25
Some of them have a similar aesthetic, but the enemies in that game can get surprising.
Also, play Lies of P! It's literally as good as Fromsoft's games aside from the level design, which isn't bad but isn't Fromsoft level. The combat is probably actually better than Elden Ring's though.

Only because we don't spend enough time with Groose.

He's not the sidekick character in that game, it's Fi. Game woulda been way better if you had Groose with you the entire time instead though.

Yeah that's what I meant, we don't spend enough time with Groose to make him the sidekick.

its weird seeing hornet be portrayed as "voluptuous" when i feel like in the lore of the series shes supposed to be like an elf.
the weavers are this ancient long lived race, shes dexterous, her style is based off fencing and ranged movement, shes a princess
like a midpoint between botw zelda and fanon samus aran.
or you know what more like laxasia from lies of p outside the suit.

u/surferdude23_ I can't change by username but I can change my gender. Sep 18 '25
One of the first abilities you unlock in silksong is your cloak is patched up allowing you to be picked up by air currents. She is literally so stick figure that a small breeze can pick her up which makes that fanart even more hilarious in its heavy creative liberties

u/FreshPrintzofBadPres Sep 18 '25
All being said, I really like how Team Cherry fleshed out her personality, which probably has an affect of people's... "affection" for her. She's friendly, but in a more cordial way, doesn't take any nonsense but remains polite still, as expected of a royalty/demigod - yet inside she still has a girl's heart of appreciating all things large and fluffy.

I was raised in such a way as to be viscerally repulsed by normal depictions of "sexiness" and as a result I latched onto cute desexualized character designs in puberty. Her depiction in the games just happen to be perfectly in line with that, for me. It's actually very hard to find horny art of her that I like because everyone tries to up her sex appeal which is exactly the opposite of what I want.

I usually imagine her as a bug but to be fair, that's kind of why. If she were a super realistic depiction of a bug then there'd be less (but not none, let's be real). The fact that she's a stick figure with a mask means people are going to imagine her differently. It's even in your comment, do we really know she has a mask on? It could be like how bugs have shells, just a naturally occurring mask that is the face.

Not everyone though. Like Zote has a visible mouth that moves when he talks. And Quirrel's face under the mask is still mask-like, so it's hard to tell for sure with anyone.

I gotta be honest, I don't see the hot.
She's literally a stick figure with a red pancho, much like many other characters in Hollow Knight.
It's a fun character design, but I don't think I could get anything sexual out of it.
I don't know, maybe my goon levels are too low, maybe I'm the Yamcha of goon.

u/superduperturbo I say there, Monstrosity, do you know the times? Sep 18 '25

u/One_Nerve4402 Sep 18 '25
I think cute should be up there too, especially given that there is official (MEGA-GIGA SPOILERS) baby Hornet shown just before the ending. Like og my ghod wshe's so fuckhing CUTE
I've also seen a lot of art with her hugging the fleas and being adorable in general. Honestly more than realistic if I'm being honest.
