#Narinder looks old af

The Kits

Aka. what I started drawing during the Lofi livestream.

Plus, their parents;

(Full page and some ramblings under cut)

God, I love Aym and Baal so much, I'm so happy I finally got around to drawing them :D

I know Narinder isn't CANONICALLY their dad, but I love the headcannon where he is, so in my au/version that's just how it is.

Aym, while his fur and patterns are more like Forneus, acts more like Narinder and has a more lean body build like his dad. Meanwhile, Baal has Narinder's pattern and fur while having Forneus' personality and more rounder body shape.

Aym is half blind due to his eye being injured when he was younger - both of them have additional scars now from sparring or fighting off previous vessels.

Forneus is hyper supportive and involved - meanwhile, Narinder is silently doting and proud, more laid back in raising them too.

Anyhow,

Greetings~ Is it okay to ask a question?

how did you make your own design for the cotl bishops? I've been having trouble trying to come up with an idea on how to draw them but it's extremely difficult... yours look super cute and have a unique style!! how do you do it?

I focused primarily on the jobs I wanted them to have! And based everything else around that (?) for Heket and Leshy, head chef and assistant chef - so I gave Heket an apron, and a sleeveless shirt to emphasise her brawn, same for Leshy but more gardener central too. I made him tall af because of the golden rule youngest siblings are the tallest

For Kallamar I designed him based off of a warrior, the type of follower constantly on expeditions. The marks on his cheeks are tear stains from 6 millenias of constant "oh my god narinders gonna kill me" attitude, and the stitched second mouth was from him trying to protect Shamura from Narinder completely splitting their head in half

As for Shams and Nari, just the normal follower clothing but w a tinge of their old robes (black n yellow) Narinder's is just his old TOWW robes but sewn into a size that fits him now also with a tinge of black and yellow somewhere

Tl;dr: Focused on the job I wanted them to wear, tropes I really liked, personality of the char, injuries they could have sustained but never mentioned, and canon design of the char

Usagi's Stupid COTL Headcanons: The Lamb

No one in the cult knows his real name. Not even Narinder. He's always called "Leader", "The Lamb" or just "Lamb".

He stopped aging after he obtained the Red Crown but he would've been 25 at the start of the story.

Used to run a butcher shop before the Old Faith started hunting him down. It's why he's fond of using bladed weapons by axes and daggers. Ratau needed to train him for a bit to learn how to use the other weapons

High intelligence, high charisma, low wisdom. He's got a silver tongue but he doesn't know when to shut up.

Doesn't believe in "unnecessary cruelty." He won't kill anyone who dissents but he'll still lock them in the pillory and brainwash re-educate them.

He finds cooking and gardening soothing. He's got his own personal garden that grows outside of his tent and the cult's clearing is always decorated with flowers.

Ratau is the only person he's never beaten at Knucklebones.

The Red Fox can have his pick of any spies he catches but Lord Narinder help him if he looks in Ratau's direction. Nobody messes with a lamb's rat dad.

Has a soft spot for children. He's adopted a few of the abandoned children he's found on crusades and he treats them well.

He will kill Midas one day. The second he's no longer useful, that starfish is gone. He'll make sure of it.

Cares for his followers in his own warped way. He does his best to provide them with good food, clothing and shelter. He won't revive anyone who specifically asks not to be brought back and he always rewards those who are loyal to them.

During periods of downtime, he'd tell stories to Baal and Aym about what the world outside of Narinder's domain was like.

Interested in the arts. His favorite followers tend to be musicians or artists.

Passive aggressive AF towards Leshy (especially him since his family worshiped Leshy before the cult started hunting down all the sheep), Heket and Kallamar. He's usually civil towards Shamura.

He has had a few followers confess to him but he ended up turning them down. He could never give them his full devotion and his heart already belongs to another.

Despite it all, he still loves Narinder.
