Jhula, a goat in the cult of Shamura, comes across Lambert, the last lamb, upon his capture. Her compassion prompts her to meet the lamb and the two form a bond. When Lambert is to die, Jhula prays to The One Who Waits to save him. Soon, she joins Lambert as the first follower of his cult. But Jhula has a dark secret. A secret that harms her in her dreams. Of a life that she had left behind. Of the friend she had said goodbye to. Of that cursed town that shifts between a world of fog and a world of darkness. Jhula was born in that town and Silent Hill still has a hold on her, even upon rebirth.

Can Jhula help the cult grow? Can Lambert save her from her dark past? And what will the bond between them grow into?

A moment of relaxation in Jhula's dreams turns into a dismal one because of a dark revelation of something beautiful.

---------------------------------------

Jhula held up the bouquet of White Claudia, her eyes focused on their petals and her snout inhaling their scent. To Lambert, she looked…peaceful.

That was, until her smile vanished. In it's place was a look of sadness he had never seen. Placing his phantom hand on her shoulder, Lambert dared to ask.

"What's the matter, Jhula?"

She didn't say anything. Not for a long while. But considering the circumstances, the Lamb didn't pressure her. Sure enough, his patience was rewarded.

"This is my favorite flower. But I also hate it."

"Hate it? Why?" Lambert asked again, uncertain if he should hear the answer.

"Because my 'family' tried to control me using the hallucinogenic seeds of this very flower. In most of my meals until I escaped them, they would always ground the seeds and put them in my portions."

Lambert took a moment not to process what she said, but rather what it all meant.

The Wynters' Family tried to force Ariel's obedience by drugging, if not poisoning, her with her favorite flower.

I've been getting back into the "Silent Flocks" mood today and found this unfinished in my folders. I finished it up, played with the Gaussian blur in the background, and even figured out the use of Hues.

I am trying to get the next chapter of Silent Flocks finished. I just had a burnout for a time.

A bit of fun after discovering @myth-of-the-machine and the comic being made there. I always pictured my OC, Benny, as Bendy's twin sister, born from the same blot of ink. In "Myth of the Machine," not only is she his and Boris's sister, but she is the more pragmatic of the trio. She lost her hero-worship of the Stars a long time ago and believes that the only ones who could help her and her brothers were themselves. While afflicted with the Blot, instead of writhing in agony, Benny seeks to control it even with the possibility of the Ink Machine, the only known Cure, being real.

While reserved and not at all trusting of outsiders, if you earn her trust, she will be your greatest ally. Even to the point of willingly kill those who seek to harm her and those she cares about.

I was listening to the "Sweet Briar" story from the recent Welcome Home update when this image came to mind. Here, Stacy is playing the Wise Queen, the wife of the Benevolent King and mother of Princess Julie. Welcome Home: Party Coffin

After finding @weedgator-mommy 's glukkon art and that there should be an opposite to my Mudokon OC, Mary, I've created my own Glukk. This is Circe. Circe is a Queen-class glukkon who has both hands in the fashion industry and in intelligence. Unlike her kin, Circe secretly studies the alchemical traditions of her ancestors while keeping an ear to the ground for anything...unusual. Circe is a very ambitious female. She aims to usurp Lady Margret and become the new Queen of the Glukkons. Becoming queen, however, is no easy feat. Unless Margret allows her fertile daughters to become queens, it is illegal for young queens to start reproducing. Feeling that her rightful place is to replace Margret and take over the Magog Cartel, Circe works hard to curry favor and to find weaknesses in the current system. With the disaster at RuptureFarms making the news, Circe isn't convinced that this was a case of insurance fraud and decides to seek answers from Molluck.

While Circe seems calm and collected, every slig and their slog knows that if she gets angry, all hell will break loose. Especially when she knows that she is walking on a very tight thread. And unlike her kin, Circe can (and will) run. With wearing loose cloak-dresses, Circe can sprint (if you can call it that, while using your hands instead of your feet.)

I've had some inspiration lately in the form of Oddworld. Specifically SoulStorm and @cakeinpants art. It was enough that I created an OC. This is Mary, a recently made shamaness for her group of Native Mudokons, the Mudonquin. Once part of a clutch of Sam's eggs stolen by the Mudonquin in their silent rebellion against the Magog Cartel, Mary had the chance to grow up in the wilds rather than as a factory slave or a decorated pet. The old shaman of her clan saw that Mary had the potential to become his successor and proceeded to train her. After Mary's "graduation," her mentor would have a vision, telling her to aid the Messiah known as "Abe" in his rebellion by guiding him and his group of Muds to a safe haven where the others would rest, rebuild, and re-learn their culture under the wisdom of the Almighty Raisin. While serious when dealing with the Magog Cartel, Mary shows kindness to the escaped Mudokons by providing them with water and food when they meet. But she can become annoyed when they show reluctance and complain enough.

I gave Mary's name after Mary Todd Lincoln. It just felt right.

Wow! I haven't made this character since 2023. But @frillsand is having a contest for their Actor AU and I thought it was time to update my fan OC, Nellie Newsby. As I have stated in her original image, I somewhat picture the AU kinda like Roger Rabbit with humans, puppets, and toons living in the same world. I hope it is right in @frillsand 's Au.

--------------------------------------------------------

Bio: Nellie Newsby is from a long line of Toon performers but wants nothing to do with the spotlight. And since jobs were scarce at the time, Nellie applied to be part of the crew at Playfellow Studios. She got a job as a gofer for the crew and puppets. Her Toon Physics would often help everyone get out of trouble, but it can be taxing for her. She does get along well with the cast while sharing the same dislike for stigma as Wally. But while his is on the treatment of puppets, Nellie's is on the treatment of Toons. Nellie is a fan of the classics from music to shows. She enjoys the shows from the Fleischer Era such as Popeye and Betty Boop. Welcome Home: Party Coffin Actor AU: @frillsand Nellie Newsby: Me

@sketchquill got me inspired again. This time, it's with their Welcome Home Nutcracker AU. I have Stacy in a similar role to Clara from the original ballet and Y/N from the AU. However, she is a grown adult who works at an orphanage. After Howdy (Drosselmyer) delivers the toys he created for the children, Stacy notices a nutcracker (Wally) amongst the toys that didn't get chosen. Charmed by its uniqueness, Stacy picks up the doll after everyone has gone to bed. She felt sorry for the poor nutcracker (after hearing the story and how the children thought it was weird,) Stacy went downstairs and danced with the nutcracker in the dying firelight. She would tell the Nutcracker it was once her dream to be a ballerina and perform in the most beautiful shows for everyone but then had to give up on her dream when times got hard on her and her family. Still, whenever she could, Stacy would dance to her daydreams. This Christmas night, however, she managed to find a partner in the form of the nutcracker doll, unaware of what was to come that night. ----------------------------------------------- @sketchquill - Nutcracker AU

With the Unholy Alliance update for Cult of the Lamb out, my brain wanted to add some more to the reversed AU of "Silent Flocks." One showing Lambert and his relationship with Purple Crown Bearer Jhula. In the goat's world, these two met the same way as before, but Lambert was a farmer who hid the Jhula from the Bishops. Jhula would help on the farm in exchange. Over time, the Goat and the Lamb grew close until they fell in love.

When Jhula was discovered, Lambert was planning to propose to her. As the cultist dragged Jhula away, Lambert prayed to the bearer of the Purple Crown to save his beloved. His prayer was answered and Jhula became the prophesied goat. They reunited during her escape and, not wanting to be apart again, fled to the future site of the cult together. Upon completing the temple, Jhula and Lambert married immediately with their small flock witnessing the event.

Even though she is a tough-as-nails leader of the cult, Crown Jhula becomes a snuggly mess when in the arms of her husband. She adores Lambert and would outright murder anyone who would try to harm him. She also begs Lambert to let her resurrect him until she can find a Gold Skull necklace, as her greatest fear is losing him. Lambert, like SF Jhula, began his life in the new cult by managing everything and everyone when Crown Jhula was away. Upon their wedding, he was promoted as her High Priest. As such, he's the only one who can quell Jhula's anger and he secretly enjoys it when Jhula cuddles with him after she returns from a crusade.

The crown, at this point, always rolls its eye at how lovey-dovey the couple is.

With the announcement of the "Unholy Alliance" DLC for Cult of the Lamb, I got the idea to draw Jhula as the goat character that was seen. (Though I am uncertain if they are a goat or a black lamb. Guess the DLC will reveal it in time.)

If I were to give this Jhula an AU story, I would say that while the Lamb would use mostly brute force, Jhula would be more stealthy and tactical before delivering the final blow to her foes. She is considered very charming by her followers and some even proposed to her. (She has not accepted as she must finish her mission first.) With prisoners and dissenters, however, she can be very cruel with her words. She may be a beauty, but she has a viper's tongue.

Her crown can turn into a whip, claws, a metal fan, and a mace just to name a few. Her preferred curses are Hounds of Fate, Touch of the Revenant, and Divine Blizzard.

With waiting a whole month for our new foal to be born (he was born on the 28th), I hadn't much time to do any art or writing. So for a bit of fun and to close out MerMay, I decided to draw Corpse Puppet Wally Darling and my OC, Stacy, in mermaid form in the scene where Wally tells her they're married. Stacy is holding out her hand, nervously asking for her ring back. ---------------------------------------- Corpse Puppet AU: @sketchquill

I've just made this and I've FINALLY got Wally's smile right!

This is another "Wildcard" scene that brewed up in my head tonight. I have other projects, too. But I came up with this after re-reading @emma-smth's fic, "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Particularly Chapter 20. This takes place not long after Wally recovers from his illness and he and Stacy grow closer. After a couple of nights of being unable to sleep without hearing Stacy's soft singing, the King of Hearts decides to have Stacy be the one to help him with his morning and night routines. Usually small stuff such as humming to him lullabies and brushing his hair.

Of course, Stacy has a habit of humming when she's focused on her work. But Wally doesn't mind. In fact, her habit relaxes him to the point where he would find himself in a state of Zen. And of course, Stacy finds this cute.

She's not wearing the reds, golds, and whites of Hearts because this was one of her days off. Well...minus the routines the king asked her to be a part of. So this is a casual outfit that shows that she can pull cooler colors off.

That doesn't stop Julie from wanting to dress her up like a doll. XD

Welcome Home Fakemon AU

I was watching a Fakemon (Fake Pokémon) video a few minutes ago and I got an idea. I don't know if it's already done, but I plan to draw the Welcome Home cast as Pokémon. I'll use the typings as suggested by Clown (AKA Party Coffin) if the cast were Pokémon Trainers.

I'm already drawing Wally as a Ghost-type and I'm thinking of giving him Psychic as a secondary typing with all of the stuff going on the website in the ARG. I can see Frank as a bug-type, but if Clown doesn't have a type for certain puppets yet, I'll choose based on the characteristics of the puppet.

[dreamdragoness]

This new image for "Wildcard" came up when I was thinking about events in the story. I thought "What if there was a costume ball and Stacy, Eddie, and Sally got roped in as guests thanks to Julie?" I can't help but picture Julie being a shipper and wanting to get Eddie and Frank together along with Stacy and Wally. So when Wally announced that he was going to host a costume ball, the Queen of Clubs decided to dress up the pair along with Sally and have them enter the ball as guests. Stacy's is meant to represent a mermaid, hence the scales and the jellyfish sleeves. For extra pizzazz, Julie commissioned the dress to have pearls sewn into it as well as decorated Stacy's hair with pearl ornaments.

Of course, her appearance along with Eddie's (I'm still trying to figure him out) catch the attention of their respective kings as well as everyone at the ball. While the hidden princess of the Joker Kingdom was no stranger to balls, it felt strange to attend a ball hosted by another kingdom.

Luckily, the King of Hearts was able to help this fish out of water, ending up as her permanent partner throughout the rest of the night.

The dress was inspired by the Siren Dress in Alice: Madness Returns (My favorite out of all of Alice's dresses.)

So, today I found @imjade381's Stage On Welcome Home Au and after seeing their ref sheet for their Wally Darling, I got inspired. It also helped that I was in a Bendy-mood tonight.

Stage On Stacy is more on the mellow side and would rather sing at her family's jazz club than go to work for S.O.H. Entertainment. But that doesn't stop Home from trying to recruit her.

While she and Wally are different in many aspects, it's clear that they both love their music. Her preference is Jazz and Ragtime.

I can see her singing songs like "All Eyes on Me" by Hailey Lain and "Why Don't You Do Right?" by Peggy Lee (Also in both her pacing and Jessica Rabbit's depending on the mood of the club.) EDIT: I forgot to put this down for the Ethnicity part, but while Stacy's Scottish/Irish, she was born and raised in Chicago.
