A talented Hollow Knight fan has created incredible pixel artwork of Kingdom’s Edge, one of the areas of Hallownest. Using a five-point perspective, the fan artist put a unique spin on the Hollow Knight location, gaining the praise of many in the game’s online community.
While the developers at Team Cherry initially planned for Hollow Knight to be a small game, subsequent funding allowed the project to expand on a massive scale. Thanks to this, the finished game included many different areas, each adding a unique look to Hallownest. Among the iconic locations players can travel to is Kingdom’s Edge. As the name suggests, this area is on the outskirts of the map and has a desolate appearance, requiring players to scale the cavern walls at various points. The home of the Colosseum of Fools and Nailmaster Oro, players have reason to venture to this part of Hallownest. In addition, players must battle Hornet here to progress the story.
Hollow Knight: Silksong's Playable Museum Exhibit Could Show Team Cherry's Confidence in One Area
The upcoming playable version of Hollow Knight: Silksong may be Team Cherry's way of hyping a particular aspect of the game that it's proud of.
Recently, one Reddit user known as Daydreamer94 paid homage to the Hollow Knight location in a piece of impressive pixel art. According to the fan artist, a five-point perspective was used to create a striking view of Kingdom’s Edge. The unique perspective gave the art a fish-eye look, allowing for a better look at the area. While it featured a pixel art style, Daydreamer94 seamlessly translated the classic designs of the Knight and the various enemies present in the location. In addition, the artist included a couple of NPCs that can be found in the area: Tiso and Bardoon. Completing the look, the player included many of the floating platforms that fill the caverns.
Hollow Knight Fan's Pixel Art of Kingdom's Edge
Since posting this Kingdom’s Edge artwork on the Hollow Knight subreddit, more than 6.4K users have upvoted the post. Among the comments, many people enjoyed the fish-eye look provided by the five-point perspective. Thanks to this method of drawing the world, Daydreamer94 managed to add more depth to the environment, with users noting how everything seemed to pop. In addition, some thought the artwork had serious Rain World vibes.
This artwork evidences the love Hollow Knight fans have for the world Team Cherry created. While the game was released over eight years ago, fans continue to explore Hallownest and make unique creations based on its various areas. For example, another gamer recently shared a 3D render of the Palace Grounds from Hollow Knight, imagining a more realistic version of the location in the Ancient Basin.
With Hollow Knight: Silksong supposedly releasing in 2025, it appears fans have a lot to look forward to in the months ahead. It will be interesting to see what fan art the sequel inspires when it eventually launches.
