Cotltober2026, day 3, "Disciple"

I had another comic for this but I couldn't get it how I wanted it so I defaulted to a Narinder is am Asshole comic

I have a hard time imagining anyone who was very recently a critter and solitary predator would suddenly have the charisma to gather followers.

Anyway, his name is Dahal. He's a badger. The two of them settle on "The Great" or "Lord" Shamura as a title.

I decided instead of having ~30 different files in one folder for my Draw-tober peices, I was going to have them all as different pages in a comic project. I plan to have a basic sketch plopped down in advanced on each page.

I'd like to change the page number to the prompt so I can switch between them without having zoom in to my sketches.

I have a feeling it's not possible, but I figured it was worth an ask here anyway. ┐(シ)┌

Thank you for your help!

Yorabba The Warrior has a lot of complex feelings about The Lamb, many of which relate to his own feelings of failure.

There is a part two to this planned, but I've Cotltober stuff to work on first so I don't burn out by October 15th and drop out like last year, so it'll be a bit before it's posted.

Too bad Bop's life experiences all have boring or drab clothing...

I've had a vague animatic in the back of my mind to Witch Hunt about Sariel for a while now, but I'm not sure I'll ever get around to it...

I really like the line "We will do what we must, let it all turn to dust!" from JubyPhonic's English verison, so I decided to at least draw that.

Orginally, the piece was just a close up of Sariel, then it expanded to Sariel with his arms out, the other 5 ritual disciples then the heart, but I couldn't figure out how to fit the five in and make one side not look heavy, so I nixed them and just did Sariel and the heart.

Something, something, power corrupts something, something...

Takes place right after this comic

My comic submission for Cult Of the Lamb Year Of Art zine's summer zine

Of course, summer means swimming and trying to prove you're the best by holding your breath longer than your siblings and failing!

The Lamb is a Heretic God, technically. Selfishness and cruelty is in their nature.

Keeping the Bishops forever under their thumb with the feeling in the very back of their heads that the other foot could drop at any second... That's the revenge the Lamb got.

Anyway, I've had the reason for why my Lamb keeps the Bishops around knocking around for a hot minute now, and I'm happy to finally take it out of the to do pile.

I'm so sorry I had to cover your tits, girl 😭 I wish I could let them hang free like in game!

Much like I had to do with Ratoo, I had to give her clothes to cover her up so I don't get a strike or whatever. My style is just human enough for that. :/

After trying a few other ideas, I finally looked to what a few of the other free pack members are wearing and went with something inspired by that.

Anyway... It's a little weird that of all The Free Pack members, these two look the most like Marchosias.

Not just being wolves, but their fur colors and long, kind of jaggedy mouths.

I wonder if they are related somehow or if they came from the same location as Marchosias.

I think right now I'll headcanon that these two were among the first Marchosias recruited into his ~~cult high~~ ~~controling group~~ ~~science religion~~ organization when he ran off from the Bishops' cult.

They both trusted him. after Charybdis couldn't withstand the experimentation on his body, Marchosias dropped him off at ether pool, since he heard ether has life sustaining properties*, then lied to Scylla that he left for the mountain.

His 3rd eye can see, but can't emote.

*this was more out of his own desire to find a way to use Ether as a mortal than pity,but he did pity Charybdis a bit. Can't murder gods without cracking a few wolves, as the saying goes.

I've had this idea for Rami getting mad and yelling at Kudaai after a Bishop has him make a weapon since, well, February, honestly. Orginally, it was the flail being requested by Shamura, but I wanted to give Rami more time to get back and to raise the ranks to disciple in Woolhaven, so I changed it to Lamb's Slaughter.

Yes, I know it's implied by the script that the culling was already happening when Rami left and that it's not confirmed that the ax was made by Kudaai, but we're going to ignore that becuase I became very attached to this idea after months of it sitting in my head lol

Anyway, Rami ran away from Kudaai after this. They stole some tools and gold and went back to Woolhaven to warn Yngya.

It's probably unintentional, but still neat none the less.

The Lamb really did want to impress and learn from the first few Disciples they brought back, before the inkling that something was rotten around Woolhaven crept in.

So they tried their best to listen and learn from their sheepish elders, which was easier said than done since they had a few centuries of god ego rearing it's head. Lol

Also I'm going to ask ya'll real nice to not start an argument about dietary choices in the comments, please. 🙏

Also, Kallamar barely remembers this. Yorabba's death weren't even a blip on his radar in the grand scheme of sheep culling.

Instead of letting it languish in my files uncompleted, I just slapped line art on it and called it a day.

Ratau still doesn't fully trust Hagar, but she's a damn good knucklebones, so she can't be all bad!

This, students, is an example of *Dramatic Irony*

Sariel rarely left Woolhaven, but on one of the few occasions he did, he met a young vessel of The Red Crown who saved him from drowning in an icy lake and helped him get home.

Though he never let Ratau enter Woolhaven, the two met up often in the forest outside the sanctuary.

Ratau knew the prophecy and knew of The Bishops' cruelty well enough to know he couldn't stop them, especially after they murdered Yngya. He also knew Yngya's highest disciple and most beloved would never join him.

But he tried and fail to defy the fate set out for his friend anyway.

I'm figuring out how I want these two to look in art, and in doing so I noticed some things.

The most important thing, which I already knew but the world needs to notice as well:

*Scylla's got her tits hanging out and I love that for her. I like to think Charybdis would too if he wasn't goop.

Also an assumption going in that colored my noticings is that the two were members of the free pack, based on their clothing, being wolves, and the weakest evidence of Scylla's cut line referring to her distrust of the Free Pack.

Newer noticed stuff:

Outfits:

*Their outfit are very similar to Marchosias, more so imo than other Free Pack members. no other members have the spike collar around their necks and the chains.

*The chains on their collars are broken. Probably they had a charged snowball on them. Was it removed by them or by Marchosias?

*Charybdis's cloak is torn at the edges, but still in one piece, while Scylla's has repair stitching in an X-patterned. Has Scylla had a harder time up top of the mountain than Charybdis had inside? The rot creatures probably have no reason to harm him and leave him be since he's kind of one of them (from the neck down at least). The Free Pack could have done it if Scylla went AWOL and made an enemy of them, but there are Bishop Cultists' corpses around, so it's possible she ran afoul of them. Or maybe she tore it on a tree branch, but the X pattern makes me think slashes.

Physical Details

*Scylla has no eyelashes, but does have eyebrows. Charybdis has eyelashes by no eyebrows.

*Charybdis' mouth does not open as much as Scylla's. He's probably mumbling, if I had to guess.

*The eyeballs on Charybdis pulse in his animation while the wormy things on his body wave around. None of the eyes anywhere on his blink.

*Neither of them have tails.

*Scylla has two little lines thingies on the top of her head. Maybe it's hair? Maybe it's part of a plug and Marchosias put that weird charged snowball helmet on her head?

Environmental details:

*Charybdis made a snow wolf 😭 💔 my heart!! Let us reunite them properly, Massive Monster!

*the ether pools reflect the environment from the other side of the mountain than the one they are on. Scylla and Ratoo's dialog confirm the pools are all connected like some weird magic cardiovascular system, but it is strange this change of environment seems to only happen with the pools these two are at. Maybe the pool reflect the wants of the person tending them? Each sibling wants to be connected with the other so the pools reflect that?

*the stones around the pools look like teeth. The ones effected by rot especially look like fangs or bones.

*the stone teeth are more broken inside the mountain than out.

*who is tying the health potion and hearts from the roof? What are they hanging from?

*Ratoo's ether pool he fishes at and the one the wolf siblings have look very different. Maybe the massive heart Ratoo has is why? Maybe he is preforming a ritual?

While Narinder did have sermons that were energized and booming, he also gave more mellow ones. Death should be respected and mindfully fearered by its followers, not seen as as something evil and to have a primal fear of.

The clowder of Bishop Narinder knew that their afterlife would undoubted be blissful, as preached so peacefully by their god.
