Watched some third person RE7 gameplay to see the funny animations, talked with @canelablutegel about it a bit and joked about a headless Ethan AU before she told me to turn it into a Lord Ethan AU so uh here we are
It's just a dumb doodle, definitely won't be writing anything for this considering that Mold Ethan already lives rent free in my head but I might draw shit for this AU later ghhhh
Idea behind his design was that he's trying too hard to cling to his humanity and ended up becoming too human in the process. Hands represent humanity and trying to grasp that humanity (as hands are one thing that sets us as humans apart from other organisms), the hand mutations are where Ethan got his shit fucked up in RE7 (not counting the leg since that can be avoided)
Some really bad ideas for a shitpost Hollow Knight x Resident Evil AU I randomly conjured
Here's the very poorly written outline I have for this thing:
Precursor to downfall of hallownest, umbrella (needs a different name) formed by soul master after pale king yeets the infection at them and goes "find cure." This is before the infection gets all wacky silly and publicly known, so soul master and the soul twisters sorta poke around with the infection and go "huh y'know this would make for a great weapon against the deepnest beasts" so they begin fucking around with that. Chris and Leon are both city guards that are vibing around when a sector of the City of Tears is overrun by the T-virus after an outbreak, they both end up having to stop it and both manage to resist the infection which piques the Pale King's interest. Jill and Carlos also make it out alive. Sherry and Claire are there too I guess. Pale King goes "yo dudes you survived the infection I think ima assign you guys to deal with this infection bullshittery" so they're all forced to do infection bullshittery stuff as it gets worse. RE4 is just a corpse creeper outbreak in fungal wastes or something, hornet is kidnapped and PK goes "holy shit if we don't get this child back then i'm gonna be in deep(nest) shit" so they all go and grab hornet. RE5 I don't even know, that was a fever dream and same goes for RE6. Ethan supposedly lost Mia in the initial infection outbreak all those years ago, but in reality Mia managed to escape with a void construct created by a rival gang of angry deepnest weavers. Void construct of course is Eveline and Mia and Eveline manage to flee to deepnest where they meet a nice little family of survivors. Eveline does her bullshittery and takes over everyone, weaver gang breaks lucas out and makes him their spy.
Meanwhile Eveline makes Mia send Ethan a letter to come and find her, thus starting RE7. Ethan goes to deepnest and gets his shit fucked up big time, immediately dying and being resurrected by the void. Blah blah blah, kill baker family, blah blah, get mia back, blah blah blah blah blah kill eveline, something something oh hey PK's Infection Cleanup Crew (TM) is now on the scene and here to deal with the outbreak. Ethan and Mia are pulled out and placed into witness protection in the Ancient Basin by the White Palace. RE8 happens when Mirander comes along and steals Rose. Mirander's still trying to revive her kid, but she's also the leader of the angry weaver gang and she has plans to kill PK. She's been gathering forces n shit for the revolt, also they're all infected with void and have wacky void powers too. Mirander steals Rose a little more blatantly, pretty much just breaking into the winters' house, fucking shit up, stealing the baby, and leaving. Ethan is reasonably pissed and goes all Seek And Destroy on Mirander, killing literally everything in his way. First he rampages through deepnest, killing four of her infected subordinates one by one before he makes it to the Abyss. At this point in the timeline PK has been dabbling a little in void bullshit so there's definitely evidence of him being around here, maybe a couple thousand dead children or something. Mirander is hiding out in the abyss, blah blah blah she and Ethan duke it out blah blah they both fucking die blah blah blah rose grows up to be very OP, PK briefly considered using herasa backup HK but Rose has a mind to think, a will to break, and a voice to cry suffering so she's automatically pitched from the plan and ends up being trained to like kill the fucking radiance or something, maybe she gets put into stasis or whatever because she was too powerful and PK felt threatened by her.
Something something hallownest falls something something main HK game takes place and the knight is now in the picture. Leon, Chris, Jill, and Carlos have taken it upon themselves to keep everybody in Dirtmouth safe and regularly dive into Hallownest to look for survivors. They meet Hornet sometimes but she's too badass to vibe with them and she fights them. They all survive of course and they learn to respect each other but Hornet never really joins them. She's like Ada that way. Anyway the knight comes along, yadda yadda yadda HK game happens
Little sneak peek for the next chapter. Chapter 3 isn't the most well-written thing ever and the ending is really nonsensical, so OOF. I'll try to revise the ending a bit but I can't make any promises, so just a heads up that chapter 3 may be a bit disappointing. That's okay though since chapter 4 is where the story starts getting good.
Snippet below
“wHAT THE THUCK?” He ripped his hand away, severing the connection, but he could still feel whatever it was wriggling inside of him, under his skin, up his arm. The sensation was nauseating, enough so that Ethan vomited. Black slime scattered onto the floor in front of him and, oh fuck, that was the stuff from inside the bathtub. He watched his vomit writhe, spreading like rot on a log, and Ethan nearly vomited again.
Holy fuck, that was inside him. It was inside him. He just wanted to get it out, get it all out, purge whatever this was from his system and get it out. Faintly, he heard the laughter of a young girl.
“Who’s there?” Ethan croaked, ebony droplets spilling out from between his teeth with every exhale.
“I didn’t think you’d forget ‘bout me that fast, son.”
Regarding official Molded fic art, I'm thinking that I'll keep future chapter art for the rest of the chapters unpublished on Tumblr just to prevent major spoilers. It might be a little bit late for that (OOF), but oh well.
The Mia section was a pain to write, and ultimately I've decided to make it a short interlude for the time being. Given that I've written so far ahead that I have a lot of time to work with, however, I might be able to spruce it up before it's time for the chapter to be published. This is just a very early warning that the Mia chapter (aka chapter 13) will probably suck ass F. Honestly, writing that section was sucking the life out of me; at the very least it's over now so I can continue with the game finale.
Speaking of which, once the finale is finished being written, I will speed up fic updates so that you don't have to wait for a whole year to read the entire thing. Probably an upload schedule closer to twice a month. Anyway, just wanted to pop in here with the status update. See y'all sooner or later.
Good news on Molded: I'm pretty sure there are only two chapters left for me to write for RE7, and I'm really hyped for getting to the post-game stuff and RE8. I'll need to catch up on the chapter art a bit, but that's not necessarily a priority since I've written so far ahead of the uploading schedule.
As mentioned before, I will probably speed up the update schedule a bit once I finish writing, so yeah.
Based on a joke conversation I had with @canelablutegel
Sorta realistic doodle of Ethan's eye because I spent this morning watching the mutated Jack boss fight over and over again and thought his eyes looked cool
Alright guys I finally got around to drawing a more realistic version of mold Ethan, weird mold vines and all. Made this just so I can help myself visualize what he would actually look like rather than the simplified cartoony version I've been drawing practically this entire time OOF, I'll probably post an edited version of this on AO3 at some point so readers can also visualize him more realistically too
Keep in mind this isn't what he looks like currently in the story, this is towards the end of the game
Alternate versions for the chapter 9 art
Chapter 9 art
I think when I finish writing for my Mold Ethan AU I might post all of my notes on his biology (also Eveline and Rose too) because I've written too much for none of this to be seen
Chapter 8 art
Chapter 7 art for Molded
More mold ethan doodles from today while I was losing my mind doing absolutely nothing
Alright, I think I've finally gotten the final design down
Some good news on the fic: I'm around halfway through the story for RE7, so when I finish writing Molded I will probably speed up the update schedule a bit
Updated color reference sheet for Ethan because I don't want to pull up 17 different pictures to draw him anymore
Trying to figure out how to draw this man's jaws
Luminous
Two extra versions because I thought they were cool (and I am very proud of the line art)
Chapter 5 art for Molded
Mold ethan doodles from today
Quick doodle of how I am imagining Leon currently in @cannibal-wings story You Pay The Cost
Some more mold ethan and eldritch leon doodles
My friend @canelablutegel and I watched RE6 gameplay last night and we kept joking about Leon being an eldritch entity so I drew this shit for a shitpost AU
