I always try to improve my art with every piece and do something different every time for my digital drawings. For this one I really focused on the background and wanted to try out using keyframes to animate an already finished drawing. Unfortunately I can only share a gif of it.
It's nice to look back and see the art I was making around this time last year and see the improvement since then.
Also WHERE THE HELL DID 198 of you come from. So close to 200 followers and I didn't even notice. I'll do summing special for a celebration.
I was thinking about how Christmas would work in the Cotl universe. So what I've got so far is a celebration for winter solstice, it's a day to bring light in the darkest time, things like decorating, feasting and gift giving, pretty standard Christmas traditions.
However one of the traditions I've come up with is the yuletide fairy (basically this universes Father Christmas).
Originally the night before the winter solstice one of the lambs followers would leave sweets and treats for the cults children outside their tents. But this follower eventually died and asked the lamb continue the tradition and wear their skull while doing it, so they in a way can continue the tradition.
As a result the character of the yuletide fairy was born, the story being that the spirit of this follower returns for 1 night a year to bring joy.
in reality each year the lamb dresses up for this wearing the skull, a crown of green and ties bells to their cape that let people know their outside. Gifts include sweet breads, candied fruits, nuts and sweets.
Looking at pics of candied oranges made me super crave them so I made my own. They're a bit more tangy than I like, I was hoping for more crystalline type Stuff, but it's alright
Your comics are so cute plus your styles so round and cuddly.
I really like the way you draw the lamb in particular, their wool's so shape and I love the pattern on the cloak.
So the inspiration for this was a variety of things. Your comic of Narinder fishing with Aym and Baal plus the drawing of Lamb and Narinder fishing. So i decided to draw them fishing together.
I really like the mother au, these two are so interesting to me and the shittens are so cute. I love Ovidia's design, its a very unique and recognisable one. I especially like the dress they wear, the patterning was really fun to draw.
This was originally suppost to look more evil, but i decided to keep it fluffy. I combined this drawing of Ovidia being evil with Narinder and the second pic of this post of them being all lovey.
I got the designs so wrong. I miss interpreted the reference and by the time I realised it was too late, sorry about that. The lamb's just lending their coat to Narinder for the day :')
Aside for that I really like the concept of a pirate au. Your designs are really cool and have a really nice silhouette. My friend who I was sending progress pics really liked your pirate au.
So for the drawing i used your valentines day art as my inspiration and wanted to draw the lamb balancing on the mast.
I also got some of the clothes' colours from the dtiys
I love your art, not really sure how to put it into words, but like the eye shapes and the sketchiness. I really like it. This was a fun one to draw especially Dulciter's hair
After seeing the femme Dulciter designs I knew that was the version of them I wanted to draw. The animatic of Dulciter and Narinder hugging is so cute, that was the inspiration for the colour pallet and pose.
The stars in the eyes, background and the blue spots was inspired by this comic. I love the choice to use stars in the eyes.
Trod was the thing that really got me into cotl and has inspired a now year long art obsession with the game.
I really like your art, especially the comics. I love how expressive everyone is. Lambert and Narinder's characterisations are some of my favourite.
Anyway this piece is using the colour pallete of the devil whispering in the ear art and is based around the heart chain thing that frequently appears in the au's art.
Lambert probably tripped over and Narinder caught them. I've drawn Narinder as aware of the connection, while lamberts confused/ concerned and a little flustered that he's just staring at them. Why's his face split open? I just think it looks neat.
