    Hello! I'm Belll, I'm the main moderator that is planning and designing this zine! I'm a passionate artist who loves drawing and creating exciting projects like this one! I am confident in merch creation/selling as I run a small online store which holds a few goodies I've made!

    I decided to organise a Hollow Knight zine because everything from the unique characters to the attractive environments made me fall in love with this game. I rarely find myself sticking to any game, but Hollow Knight swooped me in from the very first moment! I thought it would be a fun concept to visualise a carnival theme being implemented to the areas of Hallownest that we know and love!

    Hi, I’m Chris! If you’re looking for me, I’m the small child hugging my Wooper plushie and crying in the corner. I’m a 20 y/o gamer weeb whose current fixations are Final Fantasy and the Soulsborne games (Bloodborne is the greatest game ever made, change my mind). Hollow Knight became one of my all-time favourites thanks to its gorgeous, immersive world, and I’m super excited to be helping out with this project :D

    THEME

    ⥼ ★ ⥽

    The following areas will be explored:

    Howling Cliffs | Dirtmouth | Forgotten Crossroads | Greenpath | Crystal Peak | City of Tears | Deepnest | Fog Canyon | Fungal Wastes | Mantis Village | Blue Lake | The Hive
    Kingdom's Edge | Queen's Gardens | Resting Grounds | Royal Waterways | Grimm's Tent | The Abyss/Lifeblood Chamber | Godhome

    Some locations will be doubled up (Greenpath, Crystal Peak, Queen's Gardens and Dirtmouth) as this would allow for artists to show different interpretations of the same area.

    How will the theme of 'Carnival' be explored?

    To each of the areas listed, there is an aspect of a carnival theme attached to it. Here are examples of the type of prompts an artist will be given:

    The Hive - Popcorn/Cotton Candy Stalls

    *The complete task list is only revealed to the artists
