I post art from time to time, but in general, I don’t really post here often.

My hyperfixations will rotate on occasion, so I will end up having differing favorite characters as a result.

Hmm… Methinks there’s irony afoot.

Silkworm so pretty and soft he moved me to tears

Hmm... I kinda wanna create a Cult of the Lamb sona (for selfship purposes. I love Berith a whole lot), but what animal do I make her?

I like frogs, I like sea critters like jellyfish. I like moths (especially the rosy maple moth). But what animal speaks to me most?

Ah, this is tough... I could also make her a seastar.

#cult of the lamb #this is a tough choice haha

Hello again! I know I've been messaging you quite a bit, but I've been wanting to talk with someone about Erlim the Harbinger for some time.

I think he's very interesting and cute. He's the only one of the Woolhaven lambs to oppose the Rot, and even when a certain someone shows up in Woolhaven later, he doesn't reject her, but is more wondering what'll become of her.

(Could I see your take on him, maybe?)

ENG: Oh, I am so sorry, I completely missed this inbox and quite a bit of time has passed. It's easy to overlook since he doesn't give us a special quest like the other Disciples, but he is the only character who opposed Sariel's opinion. That is why he didn't appear in the first The Rot ritual.

While I understand it's inevitable that his role was kept small since the main story in Woolhaven focuses on the anger and revenge for the unjustly slaughtered lamb kin, it still leaves me feeling a bit disappointed. I wish they had expanded the DLC to include more of the story between Sariel (the ritual supporter) and Erlim (the ritual opposer). In fact, it feels even more like a missed opportunity because there are many other Disciples besides him who don't have a home in Woolhaven. Thanks for the question!!

아이고 죄송합니다ㅜ 깜빡잊어버려서 꽤 많은 시간이 흘렀네요. 다른 잉갸의 사도처럼 우리에게 특별 퀘스트를 주지 않아서 놓치기 쉬운 부분이지만 사리엘의 의견에 반대하던 유일한 캐릭터였죠. 그렇기에 첫 번 째 부패의식에서 등장하지 않았습니다. 울헤이븐에서는 억울하게 죽은 어린양 일족의 대한 분노와 복수심이 메인 스토리이기 때문에 그의 분량이 적게 배치된 것은 어쩔 수 없다고 느끼면서도, 차라리 DLC분량을 더 늘려서 사리엘(의식 찬성자)와 엘림(의식 반대자)의 이야기를 더 추가해줬어도 좋았을텐데라는 아쉬움이 남습니다. 사실 그 말고도 울헤이븐에 집이 없는 사도들이 많기 때문에 더더욱 아쉽다고 생각하는 부분입니다. 질문해주셔서 감사합니다!!

Erlim may be a sheep, but he truly do be the GOAT and I love him for that

It's the Berith fan again! Don't mean to intrude, but I just love your work and I just wanna make another request.

You know, I've also been kinda partial to Madame Furfur, I think she's very interesting. I wanna see your take on her, if that's okay?

ENG: Hello, anonymous Berith fan! I am so sorry for the late reply. I've been incredibly busy recently preparing to resign from my job. I've finally quit, and I am free at last!

Madam Furfur is a grandma, but she's really cute. The way she yells at us is exactly like my own grandma. I actually live with my grandma, and I find it so adorable because they are so alike.

Thank you so much for waiting, and have a wonderful day!

안녕하세요 베리스 팬 익명님! 너무 늦게 답변 드려서 죄송해요. 최근 퇴사준비 때문에 너무나도 바빴거든요. 지금은 퇴사해서 드디어 자유를 얻었답니다ㅎㅎ. 마담 푸르푸르는 저보다 훨씬 더 나이가 많은 할머니지만 정말 귀엽다고 생각해요. 우리를 향해 큰 소리 치는 모습이 꼭 제 친할머니같아서요ㅋㅋㅋㅋ. 기다려줘서 정말 감사합니다, 좋은 하루 되세요~!!

madame-photon

First of all, congratulations on the resignation!

Second, thank you for the moth grandma~ She and Erlim are my favorites from the new Woolhaven DLC~

Minor Woolhaven Spoilers Ahead?

I fucking love Berith with every fiber of my being. Certified silkworm diva! His Anchordeep and Ewefall outfits are so cute! I want him to get more attention!

I really love him and I lowkey self-ship with him, and I hope that he gets at least some type of merch one day (plushie, maybeee?)

(I like Madame Furfur, too. Cool moth witch)

Wonder who could've sent this confession? :thinking:

#truly quite the conundrum #a real pickle if you may #a veritable enigma even #berith is my favorite character btw

Greetings, I am the local Berith fan. I am here to spread the good word of the cute silkworm boy.

I like how cute and fashionable he is, he's got a different outfit for each biome (his Anchordeep and Ewefall outfits are my favorites~)

His relationship with his brother Bop is also lowkey interesting. I wonder what Bop could've done that made Berith not wanna speak with him anymore (at least they made up eventually haha)

Anyways, I like him lots

Hello!I thought the new event added to Wool Heaven was really fun—it gave me a little insight into Berito!

The NPCs in cotl are all a bunch of eccentrics, and every single one of them is fascinating.But the tough part about this fandom is that no one pays any attention to an unknown artist who keeps drawing obscure characters.

It’s really hard to convey the charm of minor characters🥺

It was interesting to see an event focused on Bop, who was small and didn't stand out much.I wonder what happened between Berito and him in the past.

In my opinion, Berito seems to have a highly professional and stoic side to him.Bop might have felt pressured to take over the family business and ran away.

The dark coloring at the center of Berito's face creates a shadow-like effect, giving the character design a very imposing look.

Actually, I really like Berito’s intimidating lines and appearance—they’re so funny!

In the end, Bop took over the family business, and I think that was for the best. If Bop had been hanging out with the wrong crowd, who knows when he might have lost a limb!

I'm not sure if this is the answer you were looking for, but I've gone ahead and listed my favorite traits of Berith and Bop!

madame-photon

This is a wonderful response, thank you! I think about Berith waaaay more than his brother (Bop doesn't really have much about him that stands out I think, which doesn't help. I mean this nicely, btw), but I do still find their relationship low-key interesting. Berith is definitely very cute, he's also got this audacity to him that I also enjoy. (like Midas, in a way) He's a sassy fashionable diva type and I love him for that.

Hello, may we please get a illustration of Midas (Cult of the lamb)?

It’s an old drawing, but here you go🌟

저는 헬롭도 좋아해요!! 웃는 모습이 이쁜 보라거미🕷️💜 심지어 털도 뽀송뽀송해보여서 털 안으로 다이빙하고 싶어져요

ENG: I also like Helob!! The purple spider with a beautiful smile 🕷️💜 It even looks so fluffy that I sometimes feel like I want to dive right into its fur.

#cult of the lamb helob #hehe I still think he's neat

A little mermaid born unlike the rest embarks on a journey in search of love.

Good news! My Otome Jam 2025 project has finally been completed and released, on me!

For those who aren't aware, this is an otome visual novel loosely based around The Little Mermaid…except the titular protagonist is a reverse mermaid. Other inspirations include Tears of a Mermaid and the works of Mei_Mezu (specifically her Fish Girl series).

This is a labor of love 6 months 27 days in the making. I do hope all my efforts have paid off well! Perhaps once it gets enough traction, I might consider updating a bit more 😉

Enjoy!

HOT TAKE:

Midas is actually a pretty cool character, and I enjoy treating him nicely!
