ALSOOO, I might put the first part of my comic into like- one post to just start putting links and hashtags with my au/comic and stuff. Just to make my page kind of- organized + I'll be making pinned post with like 'dni' and stuff which will probably change a lot because It will be my first time making this kind of thing 😀
narinder why do you wear such a big hat leshy what is your favourite snack kallamar how many shoes do you own
Ahh yes, low effort post. I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND THO 😭😭
I forgot to bring my wacom home, that's why it is traditional pieace and not digital 🥲
Kallamar, who is your favorite spouse 🎤 (I hope it's me, no pressure) 🩷🩷🩷
Drew kallamar, hope our favourite squid enjoy it!(n srry for the eye it's a bit worky)
Also a question to author, form the art post of kallamar, it seem that kallamar arms number it changing to 4 to 2 arms, why is that?
He loves it, like- He LOOVEESS it. He loves art.
I LOVE IT TOO ♥️♥️♥️
Also, I'm suprised anyone noticed his lack of arms! The reason behind is it that I struggle to position his another pair of arms. So sometimes I draw them, but now most of the time I don't. SOOO I came up with an idea that he just hides his another pair of arms under his coat due to- Multiple reasons (Yes I'll put his lack of arms into the lore, muahaha I'm evil)
TW!! poorly drawen scars and sh under the cut (I'm not sure if I should put TW for that but I will so I won't trigger anyone)
He stil has his arms, he just hides them.
Fun fact: I drew his arms sticking out from under the coat once
Chef and Baker are two different occupations that happen to share the same workspace
Kallamar will have a crash out if it keeps on going. Like- HE WILL DIE ON THIS HILL TO PROVE ICE CREAM CAKE IS NOT A CAKE (Leshy hates him for that lol)
I have a question for both Leshy and Kallamar, Opinions on cake? Favorite flavor? Is ice cream cake even a cake? I wanna know yalls opinions on this pressing matter
Heya! So in your Leshy origin comic, was he a child, teenager or adult when they found him? Same for the other bishops, around what age range are they when the comic takes place? I originally thought Leshy was an adult in the comic, but the way he started crying and yelled at Narinder had me second guessing. I also think I remember you mentioning Heket being a teenager then?
If Leshy was a child at the time, how did the other bishops feel about having a lil baby brother as the rest of them were adults or nearing close to adulthood? And if he was an adult, how far did they hold him accountable for the food he stole?
Loved the comic by the way! I think it's funny they kind of just plucked him from the ground like a carrot.
When his 'siblings' found him, he was around 12! And yes, Heket in that time was also a teenager, around 16.
And about how did they feel- well..
Fun fact, Kallamar and Heket HAD a family which they needed to take care of. Due to that they knew how to take care of Leshy, yk?
Anyway, about how they reacted to having baby brother is- EHHH
Shamura most of the time spends with Narinder. Yes, they did added Leshy to the family. No, they won't be the one taking care of Leshy.
Narinder felt a bit annoyed because well- Leshy attacked him. Tho he knows he won't spend much time with Leshy either way so..
Kallamar, as the second oldest, he felt responsibility for Leshy. After all Shamura is busy, he needs to take care of his new younger brother.
Heket was pretty much happy to finally not be the youngest one. Also she had someone near her age to cause trouble with.
I did few more doodles today, hooray
Also I finally watched wolfwalkers, 10/10, love it.
I drew tiny doodles of Kallamar
And that's it.
This week I'll probably won't answer asks much, BUT DON'T WORRY I ALREADY HAVE IDEAS FOR ANSWERS AND STUFF
Unfortunetly I can't only draw cotl as much as I want to 😭 I need to draw dang trees.
Hello Kallamar~ Hope you're doin' alright! I was wonderin' how you're feeling being mortal? Are you struggling or have you found a new rhythm to help get you through the days?
IT'S* DESPITE* AHHHH I HATE NOTICING STUFF AT THE LAST MOMENT
Random thought, no preference on general of character if any were chosen to pick a song, which and why? 👁️👁️
I decided to do each character, expect I did a quick doodle and huge explanation...
Lamb
Inspired: Przekleństwo w Millhaven - Katarzyna Groniec
It's a song about a religious girl killing people in the name of god
(Translated)Line that reminds me of them:
"This inquiry is depressing and unfair
How do you dare to punish me in the name of the law
The earthly passions aren't for me
I was the one that crossed the step to eternity
I know very well that death is not a game
Over the world rings the bell of despair
So may God's hand protect you
Tra la la tra la la la...
You do not know the day nor the hour - only God knows that!"
Would pick: Krew Boga - Kult
The song is that the singer sees god's blood and asks people to think about what they did, if they really killed him
Line that reminds me of them:
"Look at your hands and faces
They're red from God's blood
Consider what you've made
Have you really killed Him"
Narinder
Inspired: Doubt - The Bridge City Sinner
Just listen to it...
Line that reminds me of him:
"Doused in blood
Bathed in tears
You are the enemy
It's you you should fear
Hear them talk
The lies they spread
Don't give into the voices in your head"
Would pick: Umarłe słowa - Obywatel C.G
About dead words. Death in general
Line:
"I am organizing the burrial
Dead words
And from your dead bodies
I arrange some more sentences
I know your opressors
They are standing around
Keeping guard, just like me
So you can't ressurect"
Leshy
Inspired and would pick: Sol Invictus
About the birth of a new sun
(I choose this song because it's slavic and Leshy is my Slavic Icon)
Line:
"O courtiers, courtiers, do not wander around at night
Or this little Christmas tree will easily gouge your eyes out!"
Kallamar
Inspired: птахи летять додому - Hatespeech
It's about birds flying home (Imagine birds as humans)
(Translated)Line:
"Howling storms, sickly song
In panic, can't hear words of own
Beating the fear, beating the wrong
Birds fly home
Howling storms, sickly song
In panic, can't hear words of my own
They are stuck and all alone
But sill... birds fly home"
Would pick: Exile - Taylor Swift
Listen, I don't listen to Taylor Swift, I don't like her, but Kallamar's spotify wrapped on cotl official account is... Well... Uh. Mostly Taylor Swift... HE IS A SWIFTIE.
And that's it.
question for kal and leshy! did you guys have any spouses as gods?
pls save me i have no idea what shape kallamar is and i love how you draw him I STRUGGLE SO HARD how did you decide his shape so i can finally be done the bishop designs tyty
I won't lie, I myself had a struggle with Kallamar's shapes 😭 But I figured it out finally 😎
First tip of mine is to decide what headshape you want him to have. In game he has a triangle, but I prefer going for more like a diamond shape, it's easier for me to imagine his head 3D or just draw it in perspective
I think diamond shape looks better as his head, espiecally because when designing him it just seems to be easier to draw his head in diffreant ways and gives him better look. Also it's easier to locate his jaw with a diamond headshape (Like- He doesn't look so goofy when speaking or opening mouth)
Here's example of what I mean:
When I tried to draw Kallamar having triangle head shape, I felt like he got- flat.
And the body is up to you, I feel like head is the biggest struggle. Body can be whatever you prefer, skinny, chubby, whatever you want. I like to break the body down into easy shapes (My art-style is mostly shapes btw)
I suck at explaining, but I hope it helped at least a bit! :3
What’s everyone’s relationship status?
Leshy has a crush
Others:
Doodles from today (I have no energy for digital pieace...)
Also a human form Kallamar (I think this man would have cleft lip & cleft palate)
Btw beware Heket's design into my comic which still isn't revealed in canon
I love her. She is a butch lesbian. Very strong very demure
They found Leshy in a hole in the ground and just decided to keep him?
Finally... Leshy's backstory is done. Yippie
Obviously there is more to discover but THIS PART OF THE COMIC IS DONE.
5 MINUETS LATER
Finally... DONE. AFTER SO MUCH STRUGGLE.
For a while color pallete might look like this because I SUCK AT COLORS.
Doodles, Btw I changed Kallamar's design and Leshy's a bit
Here's close ups of these two sketches that I like
Here's new designs, I might change color pallete tho, but just a bit.
Kallamar my beloved
Ahh yes, the whole family in one shot
I decided to just- START OVER the WHOLE PAGE because I didn't like how it turned out. So yeah.
I decided to post the sketch of these 5 because I find it funny on how they look
Doodles
Sorry for bad quality 😭😭 I couldn't send the image onto my phone to put it on tumblr so I uhh did a photo of my laptop screen 🥲
Doodles or sketches idk 🥲
(WHY TUMBLR RUINS QUALITY 😭😭)
Your Kallamar give me plague doctor vibes and I’m so here for it.
You get a Kallamar doodle and a few fun facts
Well he IS inspired by plague doctors, so I'm happy he gives off this kind of vibe.
When creating his design I spent like idk 10 minuets to come up with his design, at first he had diffreant outfit but still similiar
He was suppose to be a bit chubby lookin due to tentacles and stuff, but then I went "Hmmm, How about I traumatize him and ruin his health" that's how he got skinny 😀
Also, he was suppose to wear make-up but I- uhh- always forget to draw make-up...
Also, he has a few things that still represent times when he was a god.
Make-up was suppose to make him look sick to represent sick look but also being rich
But a thing no one noticed yet is that his hat has a shape of his crown. Not only his, leshy and Narinder too
Yeahhh, my designs have a few inspirations
Line up 😎😎
Drawing on krita is fun. But while drawing I lose track of time... Damn, some artistic inspiration hit me or something
