This Post Baal Edition

The first thing your lamb does upon meeting death is flirt with them did the lamb continue to do so and how did Narinder take it also what is your lambs name

okokokook SOOO I was planning on doing a little comic answering the first part of your question later BUT I need more time for that, so wait for meee

Either way here is The Lamb and his scary cat behind him, they do have a name but it doesn't matter anymore

I promise I’m cooking, everyone! I’m just very busy and very slow. BUT here’s a sneak peak of a comic I’ve been working on for a couple months. This is like the middle of it so there’s more pages before and after

It is also apart of my AU I’m currently calling “The Blood of My Divinity” but I might change it later. Who knows? Not me!

If people are interested, I’ll do a little lore dump with some art and character designs at some point. Hopefully soon!

Ive been thinking about this trend but instead of metaphorical items and junk its just me attempting diff artstyles

(btw thanks for @desklamper for compiling this) (Artists: @bamsara @runningwithscizzorz @konjkitkatty @donutfloats @acis-arts @aveloka @lambment @unwri-ten @stychu-stych @dogiperson + me at the end)

Are we still sharing lambsonas? I feel very late to the party lol

My lambsona's name is Eden! She becomes the God of Dreams and Reality after she dethrones Nerys. The majority of the story stays the same. Nerys, my beautiful maned lioness version of Narinder, wants to have all of her siblings killed for trapping her in the Dreamscape. The Bishops get rid of all the sheep and Eden is the last sheep.

I'll ramble about only Eden in this post because I have a feeling it will get very long lol. If people are interested about Nerys and Inara (Eden's first spouse) I will make separate posts about them and their designs.

Here's some standalone drawings of Eden's design:

Some Eden lore!

In this world, sheep are nomadic and live in large herds. Each herd has its own traditions and customs. Eden's herd was unique in their braid symbolism! This is why she wears a braid.

In Eden's herd, braids were a coming-of-age symbol for rams. When rams were first budding into adulthood, they would keep their wool short. As they came of age, they would be sent on a mission to be victorious in something. It could be anything from a contest of arms, wits, or discovering something new! Once they returned with their proof of victory they then braid their wool. The strongest of rams in the herd wore braids and were more likely to be chosen as mates. When a ram and ewe mated, they would each weave smaller marriage braids into their wool(this is why Inara has a small braid on her design since she is Eden's spouse). Their braids showed their legacies, both familial and personal.

When Eden's herd was killed, they were the last sheep. She was sacrificed by the bishops on a burning pyre. When they awake in the space between worlds, the Dreamscape, Eden is surprised to see a tall figure looming over her. Nerys, the Bishop of Dreams greeted them and told them of her deal. Wear Nerys' crown, become her vessel, and kill her siblings in exchange for Eden's life and freedom. Eden, of course, accepts.

Now, some clever souls may be wondering, "Moon? If Eden died how did she go to Nerys if Nerys isn't the God of Death in this au?" What a wonderful and complex question! I'll get more into that in a post about Nerys specifically.

Eden's body is reconstructed and they arise from the ashes of the pyre. Reborn she now bears twisted and foreboding horns. From then on, Eden becomes a ruthless and merciless force. They slay each Bishop one by one being given many monickers.

"The Ewe", "The Unbowed", "Mother of Dreams"... With each Bishop slain, she grew her wool longer and longer in remembrance of her herd. This is how long her wool is when she slays the last Bishop. This is when she braids her wool to symbolize her victory over her oppressors.

Eden was not a good leader at the start. Inara, one of her first followers, saw Eden's madness firsthand. They were far more concerned with killing the Bishops than taking care of a cult. But when cultists began leaving and her power dwindled, she knew something had to change. Inara helped Eden become a more compassionate and present leader and thus her power grew, and so too did the relationship between Eden and Inara.

After Eden becomes more stable, they are seen as a somber and serious leader. The Ewe is the mask Eden wears amongst her followers and it is the gloomy and reserved face that she normally expresses. Aside from Inara and Nerys, no follower alive currently has even seen them express any other emotion. Not even the Bishops see them express anything else.

When the last Bishop is slain...we all know how this story goes. Eden returns to the Dreamscape to tell Nerys of her ultimate victory, the ancient goddess demands her crown back and for Eden to sacrifice themself to her. Eden, confused and betrayed by this request, refuses and stands to fight. After a long and grueling battle, Eden slays Baast and Ala (Nerys' protectors and this au's version of Baal and Aym) and thus, defeats Nerys.

Nerys pleads for death but Eden cannot grant that to her. Instead, Eden uses their power over reality to erase her memories. Eden decides to give Nerys a fresh start, not wanting to look at or interact with the goddess that inadvertently ruined her life. There's more nuance and complexity to the way Eden and Nerys see each other but that will ALSO require its own post and some doodles to go along with it. If people are interested, and even if they may not be, I will post something going into this lol.

Same for Eden and Inara's relationship. That could also get a whole post of its own. As you can tell, I have made a lot for this au and there's still a lot more worldbuilding and character creation I still have to do!

As for what happens after Eden defeats Nerys that's still in the planning stages. I have to figure out how this version of the Mystic Seller is going to get Eden to bring back the Bishops and if that even is a feasible thing they can accomplish. It's all very messy lol.

Anyway here are some random sketches of Eden because I draw her a lot lol. Oh, and plus a little game accurate sprite of them :)

Anyway, that's all! If literally anyone actually reads this far, you have my eternal gratitude and my soul! If that interests you. /j

MASSIVE MONSTER LET ME PET THE CAT PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEAS

Now kiss...

I SAID KISS

I don't believe in God, but I believe that you're my savior,

I haven't talked much about my Lamb (Miel) yet, so here's a little insight. :) Miel is an observer. They are quite literally the shepherd of their flock. They both guide and watch over their followers. Sometimes they will sit on their steeple and watch the followers all day and night. This helps them be incredibly in tune with their followers' physical tells and wants, as well as their mental ones. Miel has a particular affinity for watching Narinder sulk around the cult when they spare him. They find his contradictory nature fascinating, even if they are still furious with him when he first arrives. This character trait is mostly based on me being incredibly nosy with my followers in game. Sometimes I won't even meditate to speed the day along, and I'll watch just these fools do silly things. Very entertaining.

what's a characteristic you've given your Lamb and why?

I'll go first: My Lamb talks a lot. They're a rambler, and I got the idea from spamming the 'B to Bleat' button in game. Lil dude has a special button to repeatedly make noise

Posting some old art!

These were some of my first finished cotl pieces! It was just a simple showing of the progression of their relationship :) From vessel and god to equal loving partners helping each other

(if you saw this post without the photos originally...no you didn't)

Anyway, narilamb angst be upon ye.

Sorry for being so inactive. I'm a senior in college, so I'm working on my capstone daily. o7

This comic was months in the making. Originally I was going to color and line it but that sounded like way too much work for me to get done in a timely manner so here's it in sketch form. Which I think still has the intended effect. (sorry if the style looks like it changes at some points)

This is a part of my au! This takes place weeks after Narinder's defeat so they're both still a little salty. Nari's becoming slightly softer as time goes on, though. Wonder why hmm

I love this au and I do plan on releasing some character designs along with a lore dump at some point...but that probably won't be until I graduate because I will be incredibly busy until then. So, if you have questions about my au. Please ask. Please. I love yapping about these blorbos. :]

okay byeee
