Meow meow meow

sooo about lamb's clothes....

i knew for a while now that my lamb whould start wearing more than just a fleece after ascention and designing clothes is my absolute forever and ever favourite part of drawing so i finally can do it for my cotl au😩😩😩. references and what went into the design (including lore stuff) are under the cut as always

the aestetic choices

they stop wearing the collar and always leave their neck open so the scar and subsequently the evidence of their immortality is always visible

i changes the red-and-white of the default fleece to red-and-gold cause it looks more regal and important and more suitable for a new god

i keep their silhouette feminine cause personal preference ahah. their dresses are mostly very light and loose because anything firmer probably feels awful on wool

i didn't do it justice cause frankly it's time consuming but imagine a lot of intricate embroidery there (because, again, a new god, they have the right and the want to be show-off-y)

the lore stuff (the crown and the symbols mainly)

i could go on longer but in a nutshell – even while being a vessel lamb already started rewriting history a bit. their cult consists exclusively of victims of old faith or reformed believers, so "oh guys we're actually worshiping one of the bishops" shit wouldn't really fly. so the cult if for The God of Death (not bishop mind you) so when narinder theoretically is freed he gets a new start as a deity, plus any mention of him was already erased by his siblings (that's my way of explaining why there's literally no narinder imagery anywhere in the cult, and crown doesn't count like narinder imagery)

when freeing narinder doesn't go as planned lamb continues with "this is not like the old faith guys" even harder. they started wearing the crown not in it's crown form, all of the crown imagery slowly disappeared, etc. they don't go by title of a god even, they're "The Promised Liberator of the lands of The Old Faith" or like just liberator or saviour or wtv

HOWEVER they still borrow a shitton from the old faith, even in aesthetics. the headpiece they turn the crown into? based on bishops' cross-like headpieces, but more horn-shaped (the eye of the crown can be seen only by those meaningfully touched by divinity, so, ratau, desciples, old faith siblings). all of the symbols they use in embroidery? also old faith

they're doing the same thing old faith did to the old gods. "they call their faith old but they're just a bunch of heretics". lamb is a heretic to the old faith, they make it seem like they're different but it's just a new coat of paint

important!! the desiphered meaning of the symbols belongs to @itislils2004. they did an insane amount of work putting together cotl lore, i highly recommend going through the google doc in their pinned post, it's a wonderful read (and a wonderful watch, their art is amazing)

a sketch based on the piece inward by itwasleo

small continuation to this comic

Unfortunately Lambert can piece together context clues but they remember none of it including the part where Narinder kissed back

You should draw them absolutely seething at each other, but secretly wanting to make out, or do the exact opposite and have them be super flirtatious (in their own way) and really wanting to give the other.

it can be read either way I suppose

be still. listen.

Never kill yourself.
