Fanart: Hollow Knight & OCs Mira, Y/N, and Red

I made some sprites of my Hollow Knight OCs and put them into backgrounds I stole from the wiki. I tried to put the Knight back into some of them, but it kinda didn't work. Like you can tell it's not right. Whatever, I did them for fun. I only have them in my gallery as an excuse to talk about my silly guys. I talk about Red more in the first piece she's in here, but I haven't talked about Mira or Y/N yet. Y/N is in the second one. Shellshock was my first long-term fanfic that I completed. It's a bit old so it's kinda scuffed, but I'm still proud of it just for being finished. A lot of people asked what Y/N looked like, so I've drawn them a few times. This is the only time I colored them. Mira is the wasp in the first screenshot hanging out in the Hive. It's specifically a Bembix sand wasp, which is one of my favorite bugs. It's about nightmare tier in the Troupe, and it has a mirror for a mask instead of the typical striped one. This was because of its mechanic: it used its fire affinity to copy other monsters in the Knight's Hunter Journal. Defeating it in that form would count as one kill for the specified monster in the journal, meant to make farming journal entries a bit easier. No, I didn't intend to mod Mira in, I just like thinking of how my OCs would work in the game itself as well as lorewise. I used to have a note on my phone of different things Mira would say if asked to copy specific bosses and/or bugs that have already had the entry unlocked, but I lost it at some point. I like to think that Mira would be the exact opposite of Brumm. While Brumm encourages the player to banish the Troupe instead of continuing the ritual cycle, Mira would warn the player that Master Grimm and subsequently the player themselves would never achieve their full potential if they turned back now. I wanted to make it the protagonist of a fic at some point, but I couldn't think of a good plot. I think it's best that it just stays a mystery like it is now.
