#AkiArts #fanart #HollowKnight #Silksong #comic

A digital fan comic by Clockwork Banana depicting the events after Hollow Knight: Silksong. It is titled 'Treemom':

Panel one shows a view of the White Lady from Hollow Knight beaming brightly down at us, the viewer. "Dearest Gendered Child," She says, her word bubbles fancy and floral. "To what do I owe this pleasure?"

Panel two shows the side of the White Lady's face as she looks down upon Hornet and Lace. Hornet looks unphased but Lace is clinging to Hornet's arm. "This is a social call if you can believe it, My Lady." Hornet says. "Introductions have been overdue." Delighted the White Lady responds, "oh my!"

Panel three shows a stunned Lace and an unbothered Hornet staring up. "This is my companion, Lace. She..." Hornet is interrupted by a tugging on her sleeve. "Ah, pardon us..."

Panel four is Lace turning to whisper at Hornet, looking concerned. "Spider," She hisses. "What's wrong" Hornet responds. "You... your Mother is a tree?" Lace gawks. "She did not birth me, but, yes?" Hornet responds further. "...oh. You're sure?" Lace asks. "I am sure," Hornet says flatly. "It'd explain so many things about you," Lace finishes, still whispering.

Panel five shows Hornet squinting and looking very confused. "What" she says blankly, "does that mean". Overhead, the White Lady lets out a laugh.

White Lady (and elder Dung Defender / Potted Isma) appreciation post :)

#AkiArts #fanart #HollowKnight #Silksong #sketchdump

A digital sketchdump by Clockwork Banana featuring Fanart doodles of a variety of Hollow Knight/Silksong characters, most prominently the first game's White Lady. She is a towering glowing monarch resembling a tree with curling white branches and big bright blue eyes. She has roots for arms and legs as well. She is drawn wearing a muted blue robe and a gray undergarment in each doodle.

In my head, the White Lady has finally moved on from her guilt and grief in the first game. She's been 'freed' from her binds (in a comic I intend to draw eventually) and tends to the ruins and gardens. Her lands are peaceful but largely unknown to the wider world. What was Hallownest is no more. The White Lady in Clockwork Banana's head has happy divorced wife vibes.

The Dung Defender is also still around?! But he's really old and missing his left horn. He has a big dopey Elderbug level grin. He carries around a clipping of Isma, her leaves mottled but thriving. 

The White Lady has mended some of the relationships her late partner (the Pale King) fucked up before the Infection. The beings of the world survive as they always do, even in trying times.

I love women getting out of toxic relationships and living their best life after they are given the space and time to heal. Here is a comic with Hornet introducing her girlfriend to her bonus mom. I'm sure most Pale Beings last a long time if some other PB doesn't kill them first ;w;  

There is a short comic in the top left of the image:
The White Lady leans down, adoringly tilting Hornet's chin up to look at her. "My dear girl!" She says. "You are awfully joyous today," Hornet replies. "Now that I see YOU I am!" The White Lady exclaims as they bump foreheads affectionately. She turns to Lace, asking "Oh? Who is this?" But Lace has never seen another Pale Being that wasn't her mum and is frozen solid. "What is YOUR name, little one?" The Lady asks, but Lace is too shy to answer.

I imagine Hornet has a dark sense of humor and is bad at flirting πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­and she is so real for that.

A digital comic by Clockwork Banana depicting the events after Act 3 of Hollow Knight: Silksong:

Panel two shows Lace looking nervous and annoyed. "But I cannot recall the last time I let it down. And then you asked about it... So-"

Panel three has Lace unclasping the golden clips at the ends of her 'hair'. "Do not laugh" she warns. We see her sliding the claws off her head.

Panel four shows Lace but with long waist-length hair like Grand Mother Silk. "There. See?" She says. "It MUST remain up... I look far too much like my Mother otherwise."A digital comic by Clockwork Banana depicting the events after Act 3 of Hollow Knight: Silksong:

Hornet also has her back to us but is pleading with Lace to forgive her: "Aww, c'mon. It was merely jest. Lace? I was being facetious, I'm sorry. Lace Please."

Back on my Lacenet agenda. I can't believe at 36 years old I have a Lacenet agenda... just wait until y'all hear about my Second Sentinel/Hollow Knight agenda πŸ˜‚πŸ§‘

#AkiArts #HollowKnight #Silksong #fanart #comic #Lacenet

A digital comic by Clockwork Banana featuring characters from Hollow Knight: Silksong. It is titled 'Respun Regret':

Panel one shows Hornet and Lace standing in what looks to be the aftermath of a fight. Lace looks a bit worse for wear with bits of her fibers sticking out in several spots. Hornet holds Lace's arm as she binds her, saying "Be still." Annoyed, Lace responds, "Ugh, fine."

Panel two shows Lace fixed up all shiny and good as new. She SIGHS loudly and says 'Thank you, Spider." Hornet, viewed from behind, says "Wow. Have I inconvenienced you, Child?" Lace responds with a "no..."

Panel three shows Lace looking at her repaired arm. "Then what is it that troubles you?" Hornet asks her.

Panel four shows Lace backlit and looking troubled, squeezing her opposite arm with her healed one. "It's just... at times, I tire of being so reliant upon you and your Silk... Yes. I AM grateful to you, but..."

Panel five has Hornet tilting her head and asking "Do I annoy you, then?" Lace blurts out with a "NO" followed by a "Well, yes, but no."
A digital comic by Clockwork Banana featuring characters from Hollow Knight: Silksong:

Panel one shows the two of them continuing down the hall. There is a silkfly lantern in the top corner, illuminating them both. "Pff... Anyway. It hardly matters," Lace says dismissively, waving her hand. "Doesn't it?" Asks Hornet.

Panel two shows Lace looking annoyed as she sighs. "Nope." She insists.

Panel three is Lace continuing forward, eyes closed as she waves her hand and her pin. "In fact, forget that I brought it up. I'm bored, so can we keep--"

Panel four is Lace still mid sentence, finishing up the word 'going' as Hornet slips up behind her and puts her spidery arms around Lace's waist. A digital comic by Clockwork Banana featuring characters from Hollow Knight: Silksong:

Panel one shows Hornet embracing Lace from behind, her face hidden behind Lace's. Lace drops her pin in her shock, eyes wide.

Panel two Lace begins to cry, lifting her trembling healed hand and whispering "...damn you, Spider."

Panel three is Hornet adoringly nuzzling Lace as she embraces her from behind. "Shall I release you?" She asks, to which a teary Lace responds "NO! I mean...not yet. Maybe just a few minutes longer..."

190 hours of Silksong gameplay and I managed to miss this scene in my playthrough. It's so gosh darn cute. I'll never forgive myself 😭

#AkiArts #HollowKnight #Silksong #fanart #comic

A digital fan comic by Clockwork Banana depicting a canonical scene from Hollow Knight: Silksong. It depicts Sherma and Hornet in the Citadel's bathhouse:

Panel one shows Sherma in their bath garment, a little kerchief wrapped around their head to keep his antennae out of his face. "Ooh! Red Maiden!! Come splishy splash in the holy bath with me!!!"

Panel two shows Hornet's bewildered expression as she stands there in the steam. Sherma giggles and splashes out of sight, asking "Pleeeeeease?"

Panel three is two minutes later, where Hornet has removed her cloak and is in the bath now alongside Sherma. They both look peaceful and happy. Sherma cheers, "Yay!"

@clockworkbanana.bsky.socialSep 12, 2026, 11:53 AM

The only fleas I'm happy to sees!

I like to think Lace has a soft spot in her heart for what she perceives as 'big oafs who follow orders'. She still likes being a bully πŸ˜…

#AkiArts #HollowKnight #Silksong #comic #fanart

A digital fan comic by Clockwork Banana featuring Hornet and Lace after the events of Act 3 in Hollow Knight: Silksong -

Panel one shows Lace and Hornet surrounded by the flea troupe. Several are barking and panting and the two legged fleas are all cheering. "Hello fleas," Says Hornet as someone yells "Miss Hornet! You came back!" Lace looks very uncomfortable.

Panel two shows Lace looking even more uncomfortable as the fleas begin to furiously sniff her. She must smell interesting given where she came from. Hornet says "We are back" as she holds a flea in her hands and lets it lick her face. "We see! And are so very glad!" Says Mooshka. Grishkin is laughing at Hornet being licked.

Panel three shows Lace from behind being startled by Kratt, who has taken it upon himself to introduce himself. "Oh my my my my... Why hello, Miss Hornet's beautiful new young friend..." He is creepy as ever.

Panel four shows Lace folding her arms and half turning away as a flea continues to vigorously sniff her. "You may call me Kratt, Gorgeous." Says the pest.

Panel five is Kratt looking surprised as a large figure suddenly looms behind him. Lace asks him "And who is your friend?", causing him to make an 'eh' of confusion.

Panel five has Kratt slowly turning to see who has snuck up on him, making his characteristic 'errrrr' noise. A digital fan comic by Clockwork Banana featuring Hornet and Lace after the events of Act 3 in Hollow Knight: Silksong -

Panel one has Vog looming over Kratt. Kratt lets out a GAH of surprise while Lace, annoyed still, wonders aloud "How do you let THAT sneak up on you?"

Panel two introduces Vog. She places her hand over her heart, the scene focused on her stoic expression. "Am called Vog. Do not heed Kratt-Talks-Too-Much. He is pest." Kratt, off screen, yells 'HEY' in protest.

Panel three shows Lace suddenly changing her entire demeanor, bringing her hand up to her cheek "Ohhhh! You're a BRUTE!" She exclaims. "That is so funny!" A flea continues to sniff the fuck out of her.

Panel four has the three of them standing together as Lace happily waves a hand and says "Make the horny one cry." Vog and Kratt let out a unified "huh". 

Panel five suddenly Vog looks very excited, lifting her enormous bone club as she registers Lace's request. "Oh. Gladly," She says while Kratt screams NO, causing Lace to burst into laughter. A digital fan comic by Clockwork Banana featuring Hornet and Lace after the events of Act 3 in Hollow Knight: Silksong -

Panel one is a short while later with Lace leaning over to look at Hornet while she stands holding a flea against her face. 
Lace: Spider.
Hornet: Mm?
Lace: You keep rather strange company.
Hornet: Do I?
Lace: -Yes-.

Panel two Hornet holds out the flea she was clinging to herself, allowing it to lick Lace instead. Lace recoils, hands raised, uninterested in flea affection.
Hornet: Yet you're here.
Lace: Yeah. Well.
Hornet: I'm glad.
Lace: Ugh, don't be gross.


The bonus comic is four simple panels showing Hornet sitting minding her own business and humming to herself. By panel two, a flea has joined her. By panel three, two more, with more incoming. By panel four we zoom in on Hornet's mask while it is surrounded by barking and howling and fluffy goodness, her mask bright pink. It is hard to tell if she is horrified or delighted but we can assume the latter.

A Styx appreciation post. My favorite little simp. Hornet humors him because he makes her favorite snack: forbidden burritos.

#AkiArts #HollowKnight #Silksong #fanart

A digital sketchdump by Clockwork Banana featuring Styx and Hornet from Hollow Knight: Silksong. In the first sketch he is looking very sad/scared/worried and saying "Miiisstresssssss" pathetically while Hornet, annoyed, responds "stop calling me that, bug..." The Author has noted that Styx must be protected at all costs next to him.

The next doodle is colored and shows them two days later. Styx looks very happy and purrs as Hornet rubs his big gooby face, calling him a "good boy".

The final part of the sketch is four comic doodles. The first has Styx holding out a silkworm larva to Hornet, saying "Misstresss, I made thisss, for you <3"
In the second panel Hornet is holding the larva and staring silently at it.
In the third she is staring up at Styx with stars floating around her head, calmly saying: "I fucking love this."
The final panel is of Hornet using Styx as a table and eating the larva. He is so very happy to have her giving him attention and contact.

The second row features more doodles of Widow being a little freak and sleeping. There is a doodle of red memory baby Hornet. One sketch shows Hornet holding up a pharlid and contemplating if they are cousins. The next sketch shows Hornet dead with the pharlid giving us a rude hand gesture. The final sketch features Eva embracing Hornet from behind and saying "Brave little Weaver, thank you..."
