Hey got some art for you all!
This is just a small doodle of a AU idea I had where instead of the Lamb becoming Narinder’s Vessel it’s their mother. But in order for this to make sense I think I should give a bit of backstory and a bit of a timeline.
My Lamb was born in the last remaining sheep folk(?) settlement and lived there for about 7ish years with their mother, father and two older brothers until the Bishops found the settlement, killing the majority of the sheep folk and scattering the rest. Of the Lambs family only their mother and themselves managed to escape. While there were other survivors who travelled with the Lamb and their mother, eventually the two of them were all that was left. On the Lambs 17th birthday they were found by the Old Faith and their mother sacrificed herself in order for the Lamb to escape. The Lamb lives on their own for 11 more years until the day after their 28th birthday they were captured by the Old Faith and eventually brought before the Bishops to be executed.
Now that we have the basics of my Lambs backstory let me explain where this au branches from this. Everything is the same up until the Lambs mother gets captured and executed. Instead of waiting for/choosing the Lamb (not sure exactly how this works yet) Narinder chooses their mother with the idea that she’d have more motivation to kill the Bishops as revenge for the death of her husband and children. The Lamb is still alive and escapes but does not reunite with their mother, believing that she’s dead. Their mother goes on to form the cult and goes after the Bishops but the closer she gets to killing all the Bishops the colder she acts towards not just the heretics but also her own followers. At some point during her crusade against the Bishops, Narinder brings the Lamb to his realm (or is it the afterlife? Idk) as insurance against their mother in case she decides to try to betray him. She eventually defeats the Bishops but upon returning to Narinder she betrays him with the belief that he would kill the Lamb even if she returned the crown. After defeating Narinder, she decides not to kill him but also not to bring him to the cult, instead she keeps Narinder prisoner in his realm. While she does bring the Lamb to the cult, the Lamb is terrified of her and her cruelty towards Narinder and runs away from the cult.
That’s all I’ll give for now since this is a massive wall of text. I probably should have shared the Lambs backstory before so I didn’t have to have two walls of text :/
!Content Warning! Hanging Bodies
For day 28 “genocide” I drew a scene from another au idea I had where the Lamb believes it’s unfair that they gave the Bishops everything that they took away from them ie. friends, family, community. So they decide to take it all away from them. There’s a lot more to this au idea but it was also very upsetting and making me sad so it’s on the back burner for now.
For day 29 “claw” I wanted to do a palette cleanser with some simple Narilamb hand holding. I draw both Narinder and Calambity with claws because it’s a bit easier for me to draw and I didn’t know how to translate hooves into hand all that well.

This one was hard for me to come up with an idea for. I did really want to draw Jalala and Rinor tho so I did my best to come up with a drawing featuring them :3 I got a couple of headcannons for them like Rinor being trans and Jalala being a demi-girl.
Anyways that's Refraction done :3 sorry it's late.
This was supposed to be lighthearted and I think it reads that way??? Idk but it was fun to make
(For context: the two followers getting married are Pana (the dog) and Julon (the deer (???)) and their kid is Fianna, and I know you can't officiate follower marriages in game but if we could that would be fun but really I just needed a context that would raise this topic of conversation lol)
Again. It's not a perfect comic and I was kind of rushing at the end but dang I enjoyed making it. I hope y'all like it and may good things happen for y'all today :D
Tada here’s a silly mini comic about Goatwin and Redetan’s child. I guess she’d be called a guppy (goat + puppy) Anyways I promise I’ll get back to the Confessions & Apologizes comic now, I just wanted a bit of a break.
It’s here! The last page :3
Sorry for making you all wait an extra day, I was too tired to type out all of this :/ If your wondering what the second pic is, it’s the path that Calambity and Narinder walked while they were talking.
Anyways, what did I learn over the course of making this comic?
1. I really need to properly plan out my comics so I know what I’m getting myself into.
2. Comics become a lot easier to draw if your characters are fun to draw.
3. I should probably have a reference for each character open while drawing.
Overall I think I improved a lot in terms of drawing out comic and writing dialogue. I’m happy with how it all turned out :3 I do have another comic idea in the works but I think for that one I’ll post all the pages at once so it maybe take a bit and I may disappear while working on it.
I hope you all enjoyed the Confessions & Apologies comic!
Here are my doodles for day 2&3 of COTLtober
I was originally not going to post my day 2 doodle because I wasn’t feeling it but it’s goofy so why not.
Anyways for day 3 “Rise from the dead” I wanted to draw my Lambsona doing a resurrection, although whenever he brings someone back they don’t seem to be the same as before.

day 7
IT'S ALMOST OCTOBER SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!
There's just one rule: have fun!
As you can see I created three levels of difficulty but don't feel pressured to stick with one the whole October
You can use #cotltober so your art will be easier to find
The Lamb’s mother is the family member they remember the best so this bodes well.
