Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
Cotl True Devotion - Blog Posts
Gonna reblog this. Asking many artists if they'd like to add to their design to the project and of course if anyone sees this and would like to join, feel free to send me a message or a shout ^_^
Main rule however, if I do create the discord, it will NOT be shared with anyone else other than those who are participating and adding their Lamb designs to the video. I value everyone's privacy and do not wish to have them bombarded in their personal lives on the matter.
It is not a time sensitive issue to concept and of course I will answer any and all questions fired my way. I will maintain contact with anyone who wishes to join and maintain 100% transparency with everyone involved.
I'd like to make this something of a fandom community effort to show appreciation to all the artists involved. And because I not-so-secretly love too many artistic styles that make me feel as giddy as a school girl watching a romcom. Do not judgement god damnit! lol
I like Lambs~ 😍
Anyone else remember this post? >:3
Well I put this up just before the holidays and well, @countjulius did contact me a few weeks ago about setting something up. However due to some... family emergencies, I wasn't able to get around to having the time til now. 😔 However if he does want to set something up, understand I'm going to spam every single last Narilamb artist I can think of, to get all their designs into this one little bit! 😁👍Of course whoever wishes to join, more than welcome if you're interested and read this far.
Also, sending out an special shout-out to @melled42 for even liking the post and recommending it to Sir Julius in the first place. As a thanks I was gonna go full on commission but, knowing how her canon lore is set and me needing to keep my ass in check and not wanting to creep her out with my weird ass request, I think I'll offer either a solid donation (Within reason Goddamnit! 😖) or something like that. Dealer's choice 🙂
Hope this pans out well. I think it would be a fun way to involve as much as the fandom as possible as so many people have very unique, fantastic and interesting designs for their interpretations for their self-inserts and I can't think of a better way of appreciating them. 🤩
Alright..... first let's start this off right... before I get super ultraviolet pretentious out this mug....
Now fair warning cuz this will get a little Ranty so TL:DR. Fair warning
Ok with that outta the way, good fucking God, is this the absolute shit! Ugh! Got a little too damn excited reading this and the last few ones. Been waiting and would rather post here on patreon because it seems more trafficked here but.... wow. While melled42 definitely is in my Top 3 favorite artists in this fandom for their art style and character focus. This shit hits me in all the right areas that gets me Ace Ventura levels of excited when reading it. I love how, despite the want of sex, violence and gore, the characters feel real and grounded, a layered just enough so you can understand their growth and struggle while also presenting realistic responses that fit within their characters, given what we know and this, is a nice combination. Cheese aside, I completely adore this because it represents a truth about people that most don't want to accept and saying it might piss people off but I'm gonna;
We Love Selfishly
Each and every single one of us, wants to imagine the idea that our love is boundless, endless, all encompassing and pure. That we love to make other people happy but honestly, that's false or at least, a half truth at best. Most of us who can feel romantic and sexual love, instinctively, despite our natural urges in an attempt to present our love in altruistic manners, deep down inside are seeking some form of validation, comfort, and acceptance from an external force. We see someone, who we only want to see us. Want us. Love us. To have and obtain something and someone that is ours and only ours that will never walk away and will always prioritize us. It is a selfish desire to seek such a form of love from others, to give ourselves meaning, value and purpose and honestly, that's perfectly fine! Its normal. Its probably the reason why so many people love Tsunderes and Yanderes despite the exaggerated extremes portrayed in media. We want someone that will only show us their truest, deepest and most vulnerable sides to their personalty. Gain access to a part of that person no other living person will ever be able to scratch. We want to feel needed, loved and wanted by someone who'd refuse to let us go, even in the face of possible better options, be it looks, personality, or hobbies. For someone to see the significance of who we are, even when we ourselves can't, and this grounded, instinctive trait has probably (in my most biased opinion) has been shown by Mel the best.
The way these two show fear at the concept of expressing their sense of vulnerability to each other, yet the refusal to accept a life where they can't be their absolute and truest selves with one another is fucking peak! For the first time (from my interpretation) Ewen is making a real choice to ve vulnerable, taking something they actually want for themselves, even if they themselves don't fully understand their own desires. They cling to the one person who gave their existence value, who focused solely on them and only them and for a time, could truly understand who and what they were, despite the clear bad blood between them. It shows how loving selfishly can lead to so many negative thoughts of doubt, worthlessness, insecurity (Which is ok for any and all genders to have) which can eat away at someone's mental health. Yet despite this, its the honest statement and open conversation that will ultimately save them from creating that connection with someone they want based on lies or worse, breaking the bond they wanted for so long due to their own preconceived notions on the subject.
These two are like everyone, desires, happiness, insecurities and fears. So many conflicting layers without a true proper understanding of who they are. So many of us are broken in ways we don't want to admit, but still desire to take the shards of our souls, combine them with another's and create a Stained-Glass Mural that will express the beauty of what we are and I fucking love how Ewen and Narinder truly represent this concept both physically through their actions and psychologically through their development. I wish so many other artists here would take from Melled when comes to this. Not just be willing to show a character has fears, but allow their characters to be OPENLY vulnerable with each other. To revel in pain and angst can be fun but is ultimately empty in the face of actual progressive growth and development.
Understand this is only half my thoughts at best and I could keep going but I think I need to lay down cuz I'm a little too damn excited. Remember these are my own personal opinionated thoughts so if anyone disagrees, feel free. But for me; Easily Top 3 artists in Cult of the Lamb hands down.
Narilamb comic "Truth" 3/4 (page 1) (page2)
ROD au masterpost
Bit of a TW on this one at the top
This was a lot of work but I like how it turned out, and its fun doing more horror stuff
next page wip and wips of the rest is up on patr30n
That level of twisted, loving attachment that is rare among the community. Hits a nice sweet spot of possessive insanity, dark obsession and genuine love many artist have refused to touch in favor of drama, tension and jokes.
...not sure about that last pic tho, but that's just me.
everyone say thank you @xmajordumps for forcing me at gunpoint to draw them again <3
bonus:
God damn…. this is probably only the second comic within the ship I've seen where the Lamb actually feels devoted to Narinder, even after stealing his crown, his power, and his dream. Despite destroying his dream, they're trying to make Narinder happy instead of belittling him for jokes.
I fucking like this and love how its evolving
Silk
crystal -
Now see, for those of you who love that dark love, this is an example of sinful cotl romance. Actual affection? Egad! I imagine it hurts the eyes of so many I bet lol
Might As Well
Comic based on the references below, suggested a while time ago by @itislils2004
