Vessel Aradia By Ashlynnii Watch

Remember when I said that vessels were going to become the new fantrolls? They have a lot of similarities:

- sun is evil (trolls are nocturnal and the Alternian sun is so strong that it can blind them or burn them to a crisp, aside from Jadebloods; the Radiance is evil and is the sun, which vessels were made to seal away, and shades don't like bright light in general)

- variety of powers (strength, magic, and/or a combination)

- are killed en masse (lowbloods tend to be culled at random, wigglers tend to be culled if weak or mutated oddly, if they don't find a lusus they're culled, and wigglers are culled en masse to make paint; all but one vessel was thrown back into the Abyss for not being "pure enough," and there are some vessels that escaped (and some that weren't made to seal, mostly Hornet))

- tend to be mostly monochrome, with some exceptions

- grow giant (just look at HIC and The Hollow Knight, two fully grown specimens of their kinds)

- variety of horns (trolls can have horns that can look like just about anything, including asymmetrical, and vessels can have the same thing; Broken Vessel's horns are heavily asymmetrical in both size and quantity, and compare the main character, The Hollow Knight, Hornet, and all of the Siblings).



So I decided to draw one of the main trolls as a vessel! I might do the rest of the main trolls, and maybe draw the vessels as trolls. Some notes for the design:

- Aradia started out dead, so I made her old version a shade.

- she has dream powers and essence due to her ability to communicate with the dead (even though it's recently been confirmed that it's a general rustblood thing)

- fully grown has more horn notches like The Hollow Knight



I hope you like it!
