I've made it abundantly clear on RPS that I miss Hollow Knight. Here's one of the sketchbook pages Gibson showed Pip, this one can also be spotted in the ACMI. Artist Ari Gibson's work has so much character to it, and it's amazing that almost everything in these sketchbooks made it into the final game.
Others are art that haven't really been seen before, like this early drawing of the White Lady. Some of the sketches found in the display are the same ones that Pip wrote about back in 2015, two years before Hollow Knight came out.
They'd planned for the area to be home to two lava worm minibosses, one of the Dreamers, "fifty unique enemies", and "bizarre surprises around every turn". In a Q&A a couple of years ago, one of the Hollow Knight devs revealed a few details about what the Forest Of Bones would've been like, so it's nice to put an image to that. It's roughly where the Ancient Basin is, way below the City Of Tears, and is filled with notes and doodles of things players would've come across, like bosses, grubs and more. All along the bottom, there's an area called the Forest Of Bone, which was cut before the game's release. The whole thing is a reminder of just how huge the game is, and you can pull out a few details that were chopped and changed from the final map. One of the most eye-catching additions to the collection for me is a large colourful map that shows the plans for each of Hollow Knight's areas.
