The beautiful Lady Marissa in hollow knight
The most beautiful and peaceful memory in the game is associated with her wonderful song
And, yes, I'm going through the game for the fifth time хD
This time, my thoughts turned to Marissa, because even after so many walkthroughs, her song and look fascinate me
This is a portrait that Lurien drew for Marissa shortly before becoming a Dreamer. As a last gift and thanks for all she does for the city, and still can, to spend the last quiet moments together before the eternal goodbye
I think she and Lurien were close friends, and he liked to draw quick sketches during her concerts. Perhaps he would have liked to portray her one last time as bright and cheerful as she usually was, but her beloved city and its people were already slowly dying, and a good friend was sacrificing his life for some higher purpose, so she just couldn't portray joy, and she didn't want Lurien's last portrait to be fake
#I returned from the exhibition of Russian art and could not help but take one of the paintings as a reference#I couldn't have portrayed Marissa as less beautiful#She's only worthy of this level#I want to draw these two together they're really good friends#Marissa's last song is so desperate and all-encompassing#Like a lament for this fallen city#but with a touch of melancholy to soothe lost souls#I think there's a longing for a friend in that cry too#hollow knight#hk#hk marissa#hk lurien#hk dreamers
