Hollowframe 57 - Jade, October 2024

In June 2024 I added Jade from Warframe to my ongoing Hollowframe project, of which the goal has been to draw every warframe in the styles and themes of Hollow Knight! She was drawn without a background in time to add to my Hollowframe poster submission for the TennoCon 2024 Community Showcase, but I only finished her solo composition in October 2024.

My design for Jade is based on both the White Lady and Mothwing Cloak, coming together to fit Jades form and angelic theming. As for the background, my primary idea was to feature a shattered elevator in a similar visage as the ones found in Hollow Knight, referencing the Ascension gamemode in Warframe that Jade was released with. The background was also of course influenced by White Lady's cocoon in the form of the many roots and vines alongside some hanging drapery and baubles. I also added a few little easter eggs along the way, such as some heads hanging from the vines, Ordis sitting next to Jade (Hollowframe Ordis!!), and Stalker lurking the far back (Hollowframe Stalker??).
