"All Who Worship And Feed Me, The Great Snake, Cobraia. Shall Never Know The Plight Of Hunger Themselves."

"All who worship and feed me, the great snake, Cobraia. Shall never know the plight of hunger themselves."

I've had the idea for a Cult of the Lamb 2 for awhile.

Cult of the Lamb 2: Missionary Journey

In it the Lamb decides to travel to reaches beyond the Lands of the Old Faith. Finding other gods to face and more followers to recruit. But they cannot do it entirely themselves. As there is still the main part of their cult to run. The Lamb recruits local, fellow bovine followers. Each gifted with a copy given crown, allowing them to wield vessel powers of their own. Their strength only able to grow by their own, and others' growing devotion to the Lamb. Able to call upon the Lamb should they need them. The Lamb's missionaries spread the gospel of the Lamb across the lands beyond. Facing vengeful gods of their own, who will not take the Lamb engrossing on their territory and devotion without a fight.

Cobraia is the God of Gluttony and ruler of the desert known as the Sweltersands. She is an all consuming entity, her hunger never to be satisficed. Those who chose to serve her and swear their devotion, she promises an everlasting fast. Cobraia consumes her followers hunger, she eats their fill. Many of her followers have gone their entire lives without ever starving. To which they worship faithfully, believing she truly spares them a great plight. Cobraia hungers not just for sustenance, but for more power and devotion. Cobraia is very cunning and is a sly serpent in making bargains. Seeing through the eyes of all snakes in the world, She new the Bishops of the Old Faith would fall. She however agreed to devour the lambs of her land in contingency gain their favor. But Cobraia also keep something from them, to make a pact with The One Who Waits. However things did not go as anticipated. How was she to know The One Who Wait's liberation would be as a mortal to instead follow his promised liberator. Though Cobraia can still use her secret bargaining chip against the Lamb as well. Soon she will consume the red crown and absorb its power. The Lamb dare not face her, surely they'd surrender to her. Knowing in the great snake's possession, was what the Lamb wanted most of all.

Truthfully any who worshipped Cobraia would have nothing to fear from Heket. Cobraia always thought amphibians were inferior to reptiles.

Cobraia is known by many names. The God of Gluttony, the All Consumer, The Great Snake or Serpent, Saltan of the Sweltersands, Desert Deity, and the Great Devourer(Yes, I did that one of purpose).

Unironically one of my favorite artists

Still watching this youtube channel about what I can only describe as "Dark Classical art" and this one absolutely floored me because I was unaware of it and I want to share it because it changes my perspective on this artist completely.

You might be aware of Louis Wain. If not by name then by his art. He's the artist behind that series of cat drawings that slowly became more and more abstract and bizarre.

This series of paintings of cats are often labelled as a visual representation of Wain's deteriorating mental illness and schizophrenia. Even more so often labelled as "a tragic display of a painter's failing battle with schizophrenia."

The paintings look like this and were painted around the very early 1900s.

Still Watching This Youtube Channel About What I Can Only Describe As "Dark Classical Art" And This One

Ok got all that?

So here's the thing.

Although Wain did suffer from a mental illness that was strong enough for him to be institutionalized, his mental illness was never diagnosed with clear certainty. Although "Schizophrenia" is so heavily applied to him based purely on how his series of paintings LOOK, despite actual specialists widely disputing this. On top of this, although he did paint the kaleidoscope cat portraits during this time, it was not the only things he painted, and he was quite capable of painting "normal" pictures of cats.

The Kaleidoscope Cat portraits are more images of him experimenting with colour and shapes, something the Smithsonian themselves state on their website.

Wain had actually made his entire living painting whimsical images of cats, often for product adverts, before he was incarcerated and was actually a very beloved artist at the time. When his friends learned of his incarceration, they started a collection of donation money to help transfer Wain to the Bethlam Royal Hospital instead, one of the best mental health facilities of the time. Even the Prime Minster of the time donated, and they raised a large amount of money across England to help him.

4 years later, Wain drew this as his final image which he released publicly

I knew all about "the Schizophrenic cat Guy" but he had always been presented to me as some tragic case of an artist going mad and his skills and work unraveling as he went insane.

Which is why I wanted to share this information which was new to me. And because I think it's important.

The awesome badass Beastar and Legoshi

I wanted to do a more "realistic" take on Gosha and Legoshi while keeping identifiable aspects. Like Gosha has green undertones ( instead of neon green that I do not understand), and Legoshi is on the cooler, lighter side. They both have similar eye shapes as well as the yellow in the pupil, which are suggested in canon that they have the same eyes.

I took some liberties on how the 1/4 komodo dragon would show in Legoshi, specifically his long neck and generally shorter fur. I think komodo dragons and gray wolves in universe would be very similar in size and komodos are slightly bigger than wolves but they end up shorter because they have shorter legs. Legoshi is the size of a komodo as well as a long neck, but the taller wolf legs.This ends up with Legoshi being quite large compared to both species (not to mention his dad is also a large wolf). Despite his shorter fur, he's still cuts it shorter than typical wolves, keeping his head and tail longer.

I could not get Gosha's colors right to save my life. I got somewhere where I could tolerate it but if I were to draw him again, he'd probably look different 😅 but I'm very happy with his shapes. He actually looks like a komodo dragon! That's all I could ask for honesty.
