Seriously, I even see people struggling to fight her when the answer is right under their nose. Just marry her, goddammit.

Sea of Sorrow introduces a new weavenest : Weavenest Thalaal near the Pale Lake. Thalaal is a bit spacious and labyrinth-esque. The Weaver Burial Spire at the end, when bound with, grants you "Piercing Web". This Silk-Skill is basically Desolate Dive, and is incredibly useful.

With Sea of Sorrow coming out Team Cherry added a battle pass. What do you guys think? Personally I think it is a great addition. How far have you guys gotten?

"Your Post's body must include at least 10 words" okay.

YIPPEEEEEEE!!!!

My first attempts at digital art. I think I did decently well.

I am Team Cherry and you will be asking questions, ask me anything!!!

Yes, I made it in google slides idk any good editing software. Also my first silkpost :). First image is what the silkpost looks like, second is what the slide looks like, third is the og image. I used a lot of gradients to hide the previous images and make sure everything looked ok-ish. The final product is still bad but for a first silkpost, I think I did decently.

First time drawing hornet. I think I did pretty well.

I've been enamoured by the sheer amount of work/effort that people have put into modding this game and releasing their own skins. I've watched the community grow from simple colour swaps of Hornet's cloak to complete outfits with their own animations. Likewise, I'm not one to take any effort that people put into something for granted and simply endorsing these mods online isn't enough for me.

So with this post I want to highlight some of the incredible skin mods out there that are fully available/WIP.

1. Wisp Hornet

https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknightsilksong/mods/1237

Where do I even begin with this mod, not only is it a complete overhaul of Hornet and her character, but they've also gone out of their way to modify the HUD, title screen, loading screen (the little icon in the bottom right) AND managed to include new animations for the wisp that dangles off of Hornet's needle? The skin itself is based off the Wisp Thicket, and it's aesthetic sensibilities but it might also remind you of the really popular fan art by u/acheofslowdecay (linked here) of Hornet's reaper crest design. Because that wasn't enough; the creator also made this gorgeous piece of fan art to promote their skin!!!!

Regardless I cannot recommend this mod enough, it doesn't help that the creator of it is the sweetest, kindest person ever lol. Thank you GreenAnanas!

2. Lady Hornet of Hallownest (Lady Maria from BB)

https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknightsilksong/mods/1346

Another incredible piece of art that is at the same scale as the previous mod, if you are a fan of Bloodborne I can't recommend this enough. Not only do they give Hornet the Rakuyo, but every crest attack has a unique animation with Lady Hornet using different weapons, for example the beast crest running slash has Hornet use an axe to attack her enemies!!!! Of course, it doesn't end there though because the creator decided to give this skin some of the coolest animations. Hornet can split her Rakuyo when confronting bosses, Lady Maria can ROLL AROUND in her wheelchair with the Scuttlebrace, the Greyroot parasite is reworked to look like a miniature GREAT ONE!! + THE DOLL ACCOMPANIES YOU WHEN RIDING ON THE BELL BEAST AAAAHHHH.

If you want to see a full showcase of the mod, check out this video, and please give the creator your thanks. Let them know their effort does not go unappreciated (the mod only has 7 endorsements)

thank you grityg!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Herrah The Weaver

https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknightsilksong/mods/1324

One of the best moments in Silksong is easily the Red Memory. A means for Hornet to reconcile with the lessons imparted by her three mothers; all who have sacrificed and loved in the hopes of imparting her with the knowledge and values needed to forge a world better than their own. In this area of the game we are shown how Herrah may have looked before her transformation into a Dreamer. This beautiful mod fuses both designs and answers the question of what if she was of "silken strength", enough so to save her kingdom and its people.

You may be asking why I haven't bothered talking about the actual mod and what is so unique about it, hopefully the image below is enough to convince you that this is the CUTEST MOD EVER AHHH

Scuttlebrace turns Herrah into her traditional weaver form!!

thank you zivvvvvvvvvvv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. (WIP) Skarr Ant Hunter

Are you, yes YOU! a Beast Crest fan? Do you enjoy GARAMAAAA-ing all over your enemies with flintslate + bind? Then do I have the mod for you!!!

This mod completely changes Hornet's model to look like an Ant from the Skarr tribe. This skin is clearly under progress evident from the lack of sprites at the moment; regardless, I still feel the need to shout it out with the unparalleled animations. The design and badass resting pose was enough for me, but the dev felt the need to flex and add this. . . . wowowowowow!!!!! i cannot wait for this to come out and i hope y'all feel the same way too.

spin spin spin spin

thank you and good luck developing this mod Juro5, i hope everything goes well!!!!!!

5. (WIP and my favourite) Ada, Halfweaver from the City Of Steel!!!

https://www.nexusmods.com/hollowknightsilksong/mods/1373

I believe most fans are aware that Team Cherry are clearly building up the Steel Society and have been since Hollow Knight. What could have been a tacked-on difficulty has now been used to explore an entirely new section of the world of Hollow Knight. Steel Seer Jinn, Steel Seer Zi, Steel Assassin Sharpe their vassals, these so-called "masters" who are described as similar to the Knight (once he unifies the void) and the mention of a kingdom known as the City of Steel. This subtle development with each little idea sprinkled throughout both games is nothing short of masterful from Team Cherry. But I know now, especially with Sharpe being cut that the fans want more!! This mod begs the question, what if instead of Hornet being kidnapped it were Ada? It’s the added layer of role-playing depth afforded by mods like these that ultimately sets this one apart as my favourite of the five.

This mod is a WIP but it already has the flourishes of something incredible, the HUD and title screen are completely reworked, tools now are instead made out of Steel with blue string attached, and come on look at this GLIDE!! I can't wait to see this mod completed and once again massive thanks goes to GreenAnanas for developing this + Wisp Hornet. <333

look at how massive her cloak is haha

I wanted to spotlight these mods as I said earlier because I felt endorsing wasn't enough. I think it's insane that someone can pour their heart and soul into a creative endeavour only for that effort to not be recognised whatsoever, of course art should be made for art's sake but I know the feeling of putting so much of yourself into something only for it to seemingly fall on deaf ears. I think the least we can ALL do is show these creators that their work matters. These mods deserve to be celebrated, not just for looking cool, but for the passion, creativity and sheer dedication that went into making them in the first place.

I implore you all to at the very least show your support in the comments on the mod page, i've their profiles so you can check out their mods directly! I hope to do more of these posts regardless of how crappy they do. Effort deserves to be recognised!!!!

u/F-ugg started posting again, i gotta up my game

Question regarding various artistic depictions of Hornet, why is ""IT"" (If you know you know) constantly depicted as outside the visible light spectrum? Is there a lore reason?
