Cult of the Lamb designs! Yeah.. it has been a while since i drew them
burps
Concept doodles for the after-Kallamar-battle scene in Trod that I've been rotating in my mind for almost a year, that go with the past doodles I've made
The Lamb has a breakdown outside what this comic shows, Narinder gets closer to the truth, and they both become closer as a consequence.
(MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR CULT OF THE LAMB AHEAD) I found an amazing glitch!
So my lamb is married to Nariander and I'm trying to do all his quests so I can see all the new dialogue, but with the new dialogue are some quests that would be considered normal for any other follower.
Among those quests was the one about saving a sister. Now of course this doesn't make any sense lore-wise since he's never mentioned to have siblings other than the bishops, but I was curious about what kind of follower I would get if I completed the quest.
Normally when a follower asks you to save their sibling the new member is of the same race of the asker. I wasn't sure if this would be the case with Narinder since he's a special form that isn't possible for any other follower...
...Or so I thought.
Apparently a same-species draw is guaranteed! I didn't even have the option to change her form since she has the same one as him, though I definitely wouldn't have done that anyways!
Unfortunately she isn't immortal.
I named her "Morrigan" after a shape shifting goddess of war in Irish folk lore; it seemed fitting.
I have no idea if she'll have his special quests or not, but it'd be funny if she did.
Anyone else experience this glitch? Anything similar? I honestly hope if this does get patched that she isn't changed, the only real glitch I want gone is the cheating spouse thing. :(
(I would have posted this on amino since I never post on Tumblr but there isn't a cult of the lamb amino for some reason... I plan on making art for this game!)
What if we could lay an egg with narinder ?
Please if any developper see this, let us repopulate the lambs ! (And f*ck with narinder 👉👈)
Narilamb
Narinder asking the lamb for flowers but when he bring them proceding to refuse them because he didn't really expected him to find them(and risk his life while doing so) and because he think it make him "weak" but he secretly love the fact that he did even if he act all angry like a tsundere
Bbg (gender neutral) is going through it
Our Great Leader
"Things didn't go smoothly at the beginning. I have to admit, our leader died countless times before we made great progress. But that is what made me admire him, no matter what, he would not give up.
Not on The Lamb, not on us."
"As the decades went by, our leader grew stronger and wiser, the heretics learned to fear The Lamb once again, but most importantly, their Witness. But even then, he always had time to spend with us...
And the crops...
Well... Once a farmer..."
"... I do not recall most of that day... Just that... He begged for more time.Â
Time to help his siblings get stronger, to teach them how to use their powers and aid mortals with them and how to survive in the new world.
Then... I recall organizing his journals and finding drawings for new robes. I took no time to begin making them, I just wanted to do something to help him.
I'm not sure if it was in vain... Although he wears it... I have yet to see his smile once again."
"As The Lamb lives among us now, I believe these stories would fit well in a journal or a book of it's own, don't you agree?"
"Only if he allows..."
"Still devoted, I see. Worry not, I will ask him for permission, of course. However, you should go now, there's plenty to do at the temple."
"Ok, thank you for your time. Mister...?"
"My name is something I abandoned long ago... Refer to me as... The Fox."
(I definitely messed something up while writing this... I'm bilingual and all, but I'm still dumb and english is not my main language.)
Part 4 of part ???
There are some things I would like to point out here. Dulciter does not like to speak of their past to Narinder especially now after his betrayal. In this part, they just have a confrontation and resolution. I will make more doodles/drawings more specific to their dilemmas. In the last panel, Dulciter prefers to keep only 3 bells, which is the amount of bells they had on when they were beheaded. As well as you can see in their robe, it is green and red instead of green and orange. Dulciter wears red as a representation of accepting Narinder (the RED crown). Its their first step. But not the easiest.
I didn't even render this just screenshot
Another idea - what if kitten Narinder doodled with his blood? Who needs art supplies when you have portable paint?
Narinder tasted the power of scaring Kallamar.
Prev :'3
Discovering you've got an eldritch form-
Dad Narinder keeps me alive
they were so based for saying the god of death raised two tiny kittens in prison and not elaborating
No no! Let's not beat up Narinder. Context is key damnit and for all we know, Nari is trying to stop his precious Lambert from putting themselves in mortal danger because he cares, but Lambert is just being bull-headed. Hmmm!? HMMMM!? lol
Mini comic for @aychama
Inspired by this post
If only they held back that smug look. Coulda gotten just a little bit further. But baby steps lol
Well well well, Nari. If it isn't the consequences of your own tsundere actions.
The Lamb just went "bet." and returned what was given, just not to extreme Narinder was ready for. He wasn't braced for what The Lamb had.

My writing and layout for comics isn't good- workin on getting better. : )
TL;DR - Because a relationship between two or more people, defined by falsities, isn't what the average person wants.
-Because for most people, the mask they wear, isn't their true self. Its the face they wear, the expressions they show, the impression they put on to hide who they really are underneath and how they really feel. The desire to peel back this layer to reveal what's underneath typically, at least from my experience and from what others have said and said themselves or told me, it comes down to two major reasons.
-1: People who are used to putting up a front because those around them, cannot or choose not to understand them. This situation can make a person feel so utterly and profoundly lonely that it often times draws them into dark or unsettling places within their own minds. Just to be noticed or accepted or to avoid shame or being rejected, the mask remains, but it means that person rarely, if ever, gets to express who they truly are, unabashedly. Sure, anyone with a high sense of self worth or a massive ego would respond to such a notion with something along the lines of "Just be yourself, no matter what happens." But our lives are filled with so many different various different connections, relationships and circumstances that many times, the average person can't afford to be themselves 100% without consequence. The desire to see characters have their masks peeled back to expose who they truly are underneath and be accepted for it, is a primal urge we all seek in one form or another. We want to be loved, seen, valued for both our benefits and our faults. But many times, many people cannot truly express their true selves to even begin to make that connection with someone else and thus, the deep desire to live vicariously through other characters experiencing such a thing is born within those types of people. The desire to tear off their own masks, completely without fear and to be accepted for it, is also what they want from characters they like and can relate to, who are also doing the same thing as them
-2: This is more outwardly in a way and a bit more complicated but ultimately just an inverse of 1. When a person is trying to form a connection with someone they're being open and honest with, be it friendship, partnership, romantic, etc, that person instinctively wants the other to also be willing to share nearly the same level of forwardness, honesty and transparency. Its innate.
-Now of course I need to preface this by saying everyone has a right to withhold aspects of themselves they don't wish to share. If they so choose, maintain as much privacy about yourself as they want. And furthermore, no one is entitled to the same level of trust and affection offered by someone else.
-In spite of that however, attempting to form a bond with someone, one that is genuine and respectful and direct, only to receive lies, falsities and deceit from that other person, isn't exactly a good feeling. People who are trying to connect with others don't enjoy being lied to, pushed away or led down fake paths because they want a real connection, and this also bleeds into what they're reading/watching. When they see a character trying to form a connection with others, create barriers and hide who they really are and their real intentions, all the viewer can see is someone who is a self-prophesied failure in their own desires. A character that truly manifests the concept of genuine victimhood where they desire one thing but actively create the very same problems that causes their own suffering and misfortune, but still crave empathy and sympathy. That level of self-destruction can be very annoying to watch for people who've reached a certain state of self-awareness and maturity for a wide variety of reasons.
-There is a number 3 as well but I think this is too long and too deep as well for a post like this. If could be one for venting, or one seeking a genuine curiosity, don't know. However since the thought was put out into the ether, I responded to it in kind. But anyways, that's at least 2 out of the 3 major reasons I've personally seen as to why people prefer relationships between characters who remove their masks and show who they really are, than characters who base a connection off of falsehoods to hide aspects of themselves from the world and people around them.
personally I do not understand the obsession with revealing whats underneath the mask a character wears all the time. as far as I’m concerned that mask IS their face. do NOT peel them. that’s the same as the beast from beauty and the beast turning into just some guy at the end
Made some adjustments to narinder's head. It's larger, making the ears fit better proportionally...
Look at his widdle, grumpy face...
... also, I'm not entirely sure whether I should add a tail or keep it in line with the follower form? Eh, that's what prototypes are for anyway. I'll figure something out
It is truly wild being both a fan of Doctor who and Cult of the lamb rn
Cause like, it is truly wild being both a fan of Doctor who and Cult of the lamb rn.
Like... this is "my" husband were talking about!
^ this is what whovian me is meant to be scared of?
Shout out to these little freaks that have a death grip on my brain and will not let me think about anything else other than them
I'm trying to figure out what kind of style I want to draw the two in, especially because I'm sure I'll be drawing them more often since I've been reading the rehabilitation of death literally nonstop by BamSara on ao3 (definitely recommend!!)
For art requests, let’s start SILLY
Put narinder in a Tupperware container and shake it
death
i have artblock, request in ask box, here are @bamsara's designs of lambert and narinder
commissions open
THEM! because they've been living in my head rent free ♡
((AU belongs to @poppy-purpura))
The siblings got me wondering if they're also Narinder's children, you know... they look SO MUCH alike 🤔🤔 Or maybe their forms changed when they became TOWW's guardians??? Anyways, have them meeting back again in the cult <33
extra:
HE'S NOT CRYING, YOU ARE! >:'C
Got a new drawing station, gettin used to it with some dumbasses
