weirdly semi-realistic sketches of characters in my COTL AU
the style is very pretty, i wish i could keep it like this... but also figuring out Leshy or their entire seems like hell (i might still do it)
singular sketches under the cut
welcome to…
Cult Of The Lamb: Crown’s Corruption AU
the question that really pushed me to create this au is: what if the crowns were manipulating the bishops for their own gain? and most importantly, what would happen to a lamb that listens to everything it says for "the greater good"?
about the CROWNS
the reason why the crowns manipulate the bishops (and Azrael) is because they keep part of the devotion and sin mostly to survive, but also to keep their power so they can take more devotion and sin
the others crowns are not completely dead yet, but they’re beyond the point of no return basically - even if the bishops somehow got their crowns and followers back, the crowns are too weak to lend any power again
Yngya’s and Chemach’s crowns are different because rather than use devotion from followers, rather they use sanity from their vessel; for Yngya this process was worse because of the rot
each crown has its own standards for a vessel
about the Lamb, a.k.a. Azrael
they think their gender is irrelevant, but i can tell you they’re amab
when the bishops found Woolhaven, they were already old enough to run away by Sariel’s orders with a note
they lived in a nomadic pack of dogs for years, up until they were found again; the bishops had all of the pack executed, and Marna (their older brother) was the only one remaining
they were executed in their early 20s
they struggled with selective mutism a lot, especially when they first ran away from Woolhaven and a few years after the execution
they have fox teeth that the red crown gathered from a heretic in place of their old ones
they decided to kill Narinder, and realized after that that they’d developed feelings for him, so when the mystic seller brought him back, they got pretty obsessed with him
about Narinder
cultists know who he is in theory, but they don’t really fear him because they never really have had bad experiences with him
he’s immortal because Azrael never ripped out his heart and consumed it, which is why they now have the urge to uh. eat him
he’s pretty quick to catch up with what is happening with Azrael, especially after a specific event with Shamura, but that doesn’t mean he’s actually able to do much about it, at least directly
his third eye doesn’t see much anymore (it did when he still had the red crown), it does sense movement though
he doesn’t work much around the cult grounds despite how capable he is at most jobs, but some people do go to him for help; he would scare them off at first, but slowly warmed up to them after a while
it took him a few months to realize he actually doesn’t miss godhood, he just doesn’t want to be forgotten and rediscovers very quickly that it’s a very mortal experience
he matches whatever energy Azrael gives him: they’re clingy as hell? he gets clingy; they become detached with no explanation? he’s making sure to avoid them until they give him attention again
about the BISHOPS
(yes they’re all together because i haven’t fully figured out their designs yet)
Leshy
he had the least amount of trouble getting accustomed to being mortal, he gets to enjoy the chaos of the cult up close even if he can’t see it (he feels it a lot when he burrows into the ground)
the only thing he actually takes seriously is farming, he gets very passionate about it, scaringly so
by “very passionate” i mean he has tried to bury someone in the farm for almost letting pumpkins rot still attached to the plant (Azrael put him in jail for less than half an hour for that, then told him to hide for the rest of the day; they get him)
you know Toph from ATLA? yeah he makes blind jokes like that
polyamorous, technically, but with high standards, so he sticks with the one cultist that fits his standards well enough a.k.a. Noar, the yellow cat
Heket
she was pissed at Azrael the longest, mostly because her anger shifted from “you took away my godhood you piece of shit lamb” (and not being able to say it) to “the food in your cult is so disgusting that i might just eat the cultists instead”
runs the kitchen like it’s the military, but damn if the quality of the food didn’t improve after she arrived
a lot of women in the cult actually got crushes on her because she gives them very special treatments and defends them with tooth and nail, even if they’re in the wrong (“i support women’s rights and wrongs” ahh Heket)
one thing she doesn’t miss about being a god is how she had to bite her tongue a bunch of times because Shamura didn’t let them cuss out dissenters
butch for butch lesbian, she just loooves when her partner presents in a more masculine way
Kallamar
took him a while to accept being mortal, but when he realized just how much pressure he didn’t have on him anymore, he became a lot more relaxed. not confident, but definitely less scared
came to enjoy other ways to perceive sounds a lot, especially vibrations (not necessarily in a sexual way, but it’s certainly appreciated)
is actually working on a sign language for the cult, specifically for him and Heket
the best healer in the cult, unsurprisingly, but has a very weak constitution, so he happens to be the patient pretty often (and complains about everyone else’s terrible care for him)
really doesn’t care about gender when it comes to his partner, that’s pretty much the only thing he doesn’t care about. he’s not nonchalant at all even if the wants to look like it
Shamura
it took them the longest to get accustomed to being mortal again, not much because of the power (or lack of), but because their condition got worse and now they have a limited amount of time to do the things they liked most like study
mind you, there isn’t much material left to study for them, but now it’s much much harder to learn because of the memory issues
surprisingly loved by the kids in the cult, and honestly they enjoy helping them study a lot, though they have a preference for the kids that are avid learners of course
they have a journal that they keep on themselves all the time to note down what they did throughout the day, although sometimes they mix up the dates
they don’t care for romance at all even if technically they feel romantic attraction
about other characters
Marna
Azrael’s only living sibling, he was the first follower to be indoctrinated (they managed to get there in time before he got sacrificed too) and on of the few disciples
he’s a cis guy, but he’s been confusing cultist since day one with his looks because to a lot of them he looks androgynous (he thinks it’s the funniest shit ever and keeps his fur long to cause even more confusion)
Noar
Leshy’s partner, he treated him like the worst person ever before he realized just how much they actually have in common and started getting interested
he was skeptical about joining the cult at first because he doesn’t actually believe, but started to really enjoy the life there, so his devotion comes from the community rather than actual faith
Indigo
a blue bunny that just so happens to be both Kallamar’s partner and my self-insert
they work as a teacher to the younger kids (5-10 year old) but occasionally helps in the healing bay with minor things (or treating Kallamar when he’s being especially difficult)
i think i’ll leave it here for now. any questions are greatly appreciated!
fuck it, random narilamb art i didn’t plan on posting GO
there’s been a lot of development in my au since i made this actually… but it’s not bad art so it’s good ig lol
decided to draw all of my lamb’s fits, so here we go
more about them under the cut
fyd when your situationship traitor comes back from a crusade with a brand new set of teeth in their mouth (spoiler: they’re not fake)
i have accidentally (?) created another Resident Evil OC bc i was wondering if they were gonna make a game to parallel RE4 with Grace
behold
lesbians
i'm not used to drawing realism, but the one time i manage to do it is when i'm just doing a sketch in a cheap notebook with an even cheaper pencil. okay.
anyways, faceclaim for my oc under the cut
freaky ahh lamb…
bonus angsty comic under the cut lol
