Top ten anime betrayals uvu

This was a silly scenario I thought about as I was offering my sanity to the Animation God. (?

Happy Halloween everyone!

I hope you have a wonderful and spooky night. 👻✧

I've spent every afternoon and evening of this month working on this animation. Honestly… I can't believe I've started to learn to animate this year. I still have lots to learn and improve, but having the chance to do this really feels like a blessing. I'm trying to make more dynamic animations day by day!

I really hope you like this and thanks for your support! ✧

(I would have loved to post the file itself but Tumblr is bugged so... Link it is! qvq;; )

Sketch page that's mostly practicing my cult of the lamb character Beleth. And there's the sketch for baby Helob, a Shamura head from a game reference, and getting a feel for a full-body Helob in my style.

I need to draw Helob taller based on my reference- he's almost 2 Lambs tall!

shittens...

lore and bonus art under the cut

(before I really start the lore I just wanna mention these two hatched from eggs. I have my own speculative biology hcs about cotl that keeps the canonical eggs bc I'm crazy. I'd infodump about it but I'm not sure how my followers would feel about me talking about the reproduction about a fictional group of anthros LSDHGS-)

anyways. Beleth (she/her): the younger twin, second to hatch. she was actually the first shitten I designed, she's got at least two prior attempts at a design before I really settled on her current design. She has two sets of ears and no horns, and her body plan is more of a sheep, except her arms are more cat-like with paws. as a kid, Beleth's pretty energetic and loves to run around, and talking to everyone she sees. very friendly and social. also chaotic at times and causes mischief. Unlike the Lamb, who shears often due to crusading, Beleth rarely shears herself, and keeps extra wool that grows on her head out of her face by pulling it back into a poofy ponytail (it's also a couple shades darker than the lamb). She also always has two bells on her- the bells her and her sister wore when they were babies

Erinyes (she/they): the older twin, first to hatch. her design just popped into existence without me thinking that hard about it, and I'm ngl she's my fav shitten of the two LSHDLGHDS. Her face and body are catlike, but there's some sheep features, like the ears, horns, and hoofed hands. She only has wool on her head, and it's black; as a kid, she hardly sheared it, but as an adult she keeps it a bit shorter, shearing off pieces that get too long. They're not nearly as talkative as Beleth, but they're very fast and graceful. She had a habit of climbing the trees on the edge of the cult ground for some piece and quiet and Narinder would keep having to climb up after her to get her down. When her wool is longer but not longer enough to shear, she keeps the wool out of her face by tying it off to the side in two sections. They're a bit taller and slimmer than Beleth, even as adults

speaking of adults, this is a quick sketch of them when they're fully grown (they're immortal like their parents, and stopped aging once they reached adulthood - which took quite a bit longer lol)

as adults, Beleth because the head nurse of the healers, being apprenticed by the former head nurse (who had been with them both since childhood, her skull necklace prolonging her life); Erinyes becomes the head of missionaries, teaching newbies, organizing supplies to take and where to go, unloading the hauls, and sometimes even joining on missions herself. Their outfits are different as well: Beleth keeps the bells, but replaces the garment she wore as a kid with a pleated skirt, the bells attaching to the thick belt she wears; Erinyes wears a cloak like the Lamb, with an undergarment covering her body (this is mainly to protect herself from the elements when she's outside the cult)

anyways, here's a bonus: I made some wives for the sisters lol

Mabre (she/her): strong, suave, and part of the missionaries. after she was indoctrinated from Anura she was placed to be a missionary; her ass was not listening for the first day bc she was too busy staring at her new boss gayly. gets quite a few scars from her work (including a ripped ear) but she enjoys the work, and doesn't mind. It takes a while for Erinyes to realize their feelings and it's only after Mabre almost dies that she realizes, and promptly pulls a Narinder by ignoring said feelings until Mabre finally makes a move

Hetry (he/she): shy and polite worshipper taken in from Darkwood, was pined after immediately by a certain shitten. They didn't actually talk tho until a prank gone wrong via Leshy resulted in Hetry breaking her leg, and he developed an instant crush upon watching Beleth chew her own uncle out within an inch of his life. enjoys the pleasantries of life and the simplicity of her work. there's a lot of mutual pining until the two finally get together (Erinyes would tease Beleth about it, and then gets a taste of her own medicine after Mabre's indoctrinated)

(they both wear golden skull necklaces for obvious reasons, but Mabre also wears a missionary necklace, while Hetry wears a nature necklace intertwined with his golden skull necklace; they also become disciples eventually, Hetry through her worshipper status and Mabre by constant feats of effort and strength to support the cult)

I fell down the Cult of the Lamb rabbit hole HARD so here are my COTL OCs

Third youngest Bishop, the Bishop of Conquest

Kikimora

Before Narinder's betrayal she was a militant and just leader. Often found plotting on how to scower heretics from her and her siblings lands or painting art pieces for her siblings. Her lands were called The Nestlands, a dying forest near Darkwood with very little agricultural lands. The Nestlands had no written language, instead using images to write the history of the Cult of Conquest as Kikimora had severe dyslexia and struggled to learn how to read and writ. She often lead her cult on crusades every decade or so and it was a ritual many in her cult enjoyed. She was particularly close with her immediate older brother Narinder and in her younger years as a chick he would encourage Kikimora do do mischief which often got both of them scolded by Shamura. When Heket and Leshy were brought in to the Old Faith she was happy to help them grow and discover what type of gods they wanted to be. After Narinder's betrayal she became a recluse, only recently coming out of it because of Leshy's encouragement. She turned her crown into hands when she needed them. She shut herself off from the rest of her remaining siblings because she felt immeasurable guilt and grief over the loss of their brother and parts of themselves. She stopped her crusades and rarely left her temple unless absolutely necessary so her high ranking and most trusted cultists had to do a lot of work around the cult. As a follower of the Lamb she mainly cooks and prays as she cannot do much else because of her missing hands. She has two unique quests that the Lamb can do, retrieve her lost hands and restore a painting of her and her siblings that she tore Narinder out of in a fit of overwhelming grief shortly after his betrayal.

Andreal

Andreal is the first boss of The Nestlands, he is also one of Kikimora's most loyal followers. He walks with a limp because of a past injury. He is fiercely loyal but very sickly, often being one of the first to get sick when sicknesses start spreading in the winter months. Other than that he is an excellent follower, quickly earning the trust of the other followers, though his war memories gave him minor PTSD but the Lamb is more than willing to accommodate for him and Kikimora's other followers. On the plus side some of the younger followers like his many stories.

Phoenyx

Phoenyx is the second boss of The Nestlands. She is quite passionate about what she believes in and often gets into fights with desenters if the Lamb is off on a crusade. Like Anreal she has PTSD but it's only triggered if someone tries to touch her scar without her consent, a trait she and Leshy share and have bonded over while the Lamb was away on crusades. She has a higher body temperature than most due to being a pheonix so during particularly cold winters she wakes up with the whole cult sleeping on and around her, she doesn't mind as long as they respect her boundaries.

Painon

He was the most loyal of Kikimora's following when she was a Bishop of the Old Faith so she gifted him a diadem with the cult symbol on it, the Lamb let him keep it but changed the symbol on it to their cult's symbol. He doesn't like it when someone touches his neck as it reminds him of a time a heratic almost took his life via strangulation, he also doesn't like the feeling of the Cult's robes rubbing against his neck so the Lamb is working on a special robe for him where the neckline doesn't touch his neck. Painon and Andreal often telling, or rather acting out, stories from their former Cult to the members of the Lamb's Cult as they find them entertaining, even the former Bishops.

Witness Beleth

They often just hang out with the other Witnesses as they are shy compared to the other former members of Kikimora's cult who are often a jovial and outspoken group of birds. They haven't kicked the habit of calling Kikimora "My Lady" or referring to her as "My Lady Conquest" in conversations, they are working on it though. Rarely and only when exhausted, Witness Beleth will sometimes call the other former bishops things like "Leige War", "Leige Knowledge", "Lord Pestilence", "Lord Death", "Lady Famine" and "Lord Chaos" and on occasion they will call the Lamb "My Leige Death" as a sign of respect.

Some more sketches of my fursona in the style of CotL. Belphagor, now “Bewitcher” was once a mighty bishop alongside two others, Beleth and Purson. Eventually they got greedy and tried mass converting the other bishop’s followers to devote to her, ending up locked in the artifact CotL Punchy has. Now she’s stuck with her trying to regain her power and status and NOT get attached to her vessel. Definitely.

A book in Beleth's hands is a dangerous weapon... :>

Birthday surprise goes wrong Luckily Beleth already knew before Leshy messed it up

TBH, my birthday hasn't been a happy day for a few years now. I usually try to maintain myself cheerful but eh, I don't always succeed. Today was super chaotic and needed to draw some silly stuff to laugh a little.

HOWEVER!! Many wonderful and adorable people have messaged me and lightened my day! Thank you everyone!

[anomaly-art]

Just wanted to ask, who Beleth and what's her relationship with the bishops?

Beleth, as you see, is an oc of mine that helps me explore the bishops' personalities, putting them in situations that I doubt they would get by themselves. She allowed me to develop Heket's sisterly side, Shamura's worries, Kallamar's skills when he's not possesed by anxiety, Leshy's childish and mischievious side and Narinder's kindness. You could see her as their disciple.

However, we all know how their story continues. They couldn't be a happy family forever.

Sometimes I forget I have a tumblr blog.

Loved doing this piece of Narinder and Beleth. It helped me to experiment a little and it gave me the chance to learn some new stuff!

Cover for my own COTL fic!

You know? I've been struggling to create anything but as soon as I started playing COTL I got inspired and started to do lots of things! I started drawing and writing again! I'm even making animations and merchandising as well! I'm working on a cosplay too but that will take some time...

This fic is about Narinder and the bishops' childhood and their encounter with the crowns. I'd share it here but I wrote it in Spanish... :'D

[anomaly-art]
