A old story-planning comic for TROD AU I made back in 2024 that I forgot to post here on tumblr. It's a partial redraw / continuation of a previous comic here.
This is a very old draft scene, which much of it already having been rewritten / certain bits scrapped or re-allocated (I wanted more Lamb rage). Don't expect to see this scene exactly like this in the fic but there will be a very, ahem. Tense moment in the catacombs and an aftermath for it
Rough scene storyboards that I do not have the motivation to clean up so I'm dumping them here. Still not feeling good about my art lately I can't even get past the sketchy phase anymore lmao
This is the canvas was originally 18k for, lmao. I've resized it more appropriately now. Thanks to @jomo-is-here for giving me some critique pointers during the painting process! Here's the HD version, because tumblr kills quality
I have a couple questions about your Lamb, mainly involving their stitches!
Firstly- why do they need them/ how did they get those injuries?
Secondly- who did the first stitches, who does them now, and does Narinder- after they reconcile- help them redo their stitches when they wear out?
1. On crusades. Heretics and environmental traps are absolutely everywhere. Over time, the Lamb became more desensitized to pain thanks to the crown (and later godhood). As a result, they grow more reckless on their crusades half the time.
2. They used to patch themselves up it they survived such injuries and were able to drag themselves home. But if they bled out or died, it was always Narinder who resurrected them whole again. He’s limited now in his abilities to fix them up as easily since his usurping, but it seems that old habits die hard… The Lamb totally hates his doting and the fact they seemingly lose limbs more often is irrelevant. Narinder totally hates doting on them and the fact he never allows anyone else to patch them up is irrelevant. The close proximity every single time is 100% necessary.
The wounds DO heal over time. The stitches are only meant to keep their limbs physically attached while their body patches itself up. It usually takes a few days and then everything goes away. The stitches are sometimes left behind for cosmetic effect, but they only last a few weeks at most before their “divine immune system” kicks in and dissolves them. (I only draw them in the same locations for artist ease, but those injuries vary in number, location, and appearance.)
The divisiveness of Iron Lung is deeply confusing because evidently a bunch of Gen Z YouTube kids are way more tolerant of a slow pace than many grown adults with film degrees
As a Gen Z YouTube kid. The movie fully held my attention the entire time. Fuck the argument that things were happening slowly, they were interesting and that’s what counts
