they bring my brain so much good feeling juice tyty blorbos

monsters not yet in love

[theshepherdshound]

them

they look so dinosaur in this lololol

"You're losing blood" no I know exactly where it is. The floor. Don't ever underestimate me.

[theshepherdshound]

i did indeed rewatch princess mononoke and it was good, everyone so filled with spirit worms

[theshepherdshound]

sketching blorbos sitting around

i'll render another thing eventually wheee

[theshepherdshound]

wheee lamb, still trying to figure out clip studio

hands and eyes and feelings about bodies; various thoughts on their demeanour over time

[theshepherdshound]

please- let me do this for you

listened too much playlist and drew, tomorrow is update day

things from the first chapter, individual mini comics separated below in chronological order

i love them so much, i did't actually write them fighting, just Narinder dying cause i dunno really how to write a good fight scene so, this is all from the first-ish chapter so if you like consider reading the thing i am writing! tyty

[theshepherdshound]

narinder being an absolute wet paper bag emotionally is so silly to me- he spends so much time being like i am feeling an emotion and i do not know what it is so it must be a bad one

based off this

[theshepherdshound]

i don't think we love each other

procreate hates me and tbh that's good otherwise i'd definitely overrender this, some missing things include the lamb's halo and cape but WAHH

i forgot i liked making comics this much- this goobers bring me so much joy- higher contrast and detail shots below

Text written out;

Narinder: Do you think we fall in love in every universe-

Lamb: …no, I’m- Sorry! I don’t mean to make you sad!! But, truly? I don’t. There are those in which your fear makes you cruel, and those which in my anger so am I. But… I love you in this one, in this universe, I hope-

Narinder: COUCH!

Lamb: You asked! That’s not fair!

Narinder: You’re supposed to say YES- see you tomorrow incessant lamb.

Small text to the left side of Narinder says: secretly very happy

In the bottom right hand has a white heart, indicating the lamb, with a question mark, surrounded by swirling hearts, indicating Narinder, as if to say he does in every universe

[theshepherdshound]

i find these immensely fun

Was inspired by @therekinperson and wanted to do my own Collab challenge!

Feel free to draw any of your own COTL character/s taking a selfie with Gabriel! It can either be in the same pose as the red sketch or you can draw your own pose over it!

Gabriel is 5’8ft, so I left some space above above if your character/s are taller than that

Feel free to add extra stuff! Like selfie stickers, a Polaroid frame etc

Just don’t change Gabriel or cover up my signature

Have fun!!

I AM SO TOTALLY NORMAL AND FINE ABOUT THESE TWO- i love princess mononoke so much it's my favourite movie and it's always so fun to return to and be like haha yeah- that's such a huge influence on all my art

you're tell me those two people struggling fundamentally to be okay in a strange world of gods who are big and everything is morally grey and their bodies are monstrous and they have complicated relationships to outsiders and struggle to trust anyone but each other trapped in a situation neither consented to but chose to live despite it all had influence on me???

(and they're all full of WORMS????)

i almost forgot to give narinder pants okay tyty i did remember thooooo, referencing this scene

[theshepherdshound]

they're so fucking chewy AHHHH- a thing that does happen fighting cryptids not fully knowing what is happening to them ever so time to try and kill each other

(hello from the relative present, this is from mid feb and i want it to just like exist not in queue anymore lol- also a portion of what happens in this scene)

there was a background at one point but it make the silhouette weird so- b/w and maybe spoiler-y ramblings below

just you know- trying to kill each other things. when you're so bad at feelings the only option is murder. the weight is off the the original posing look too EHH so the weight is just weird! is fine, back to being naked because tbh it is just so much easier to render and because cryptid narinder is a LOT easier without clothe involved

monsters falling in love but having A Very Bad Day- this started because narinder tried to be nice but now is like well it's betrayal/murder time because otherwise you'll trap me in an unending and horrifying void so i will attack first cause i ain doing that again

their dynamic makes me so feral lololol drawing them is so dramatic also i am realizing how tiny my drawings are, i draw them at 300 dpi so it doesn't feel that small and then i upload them and i'm like oh

[theshepherdshound]

i stole your lambs

(and one goat- mainly cause your goat design is peak everything to me)

i think i succeeded in keeping your lamb's personalities and converting them- they're either based off a recent drawing i could find or use a ref sheet if i could find it, joining tumblr has been v fun

@taxikab3 @machetelettuce @that1notetaker @pawsandpalettes @mary-cross @hysterical-random-things @2dyara @starsonablackboard @bialejaja @fanaroff @lambbamm @ane-doodles and @ro-bee for goat

i individually split them behind the cut- okay tytybyeeeeeee

i dunno what i am supposed to tag this lololol lmk

[theshepherdshound]

i continue to attempt learning clothing and how to use clip studio paint

this was fun to do cause i usually don't draw the lamb this detailed

Doing a fake collab challenge, draw your goat, lamb, nari, whatevs as the sketchy red person (as presented)

emptys + inspo--

Have fun!

[theshepherdshound]

narinder puts in the work at the factory

and i continue to never really use references why those horns so far back iehhhhnno they were fine in the sketch and i didn't zoom out for a bit and then BAM neck horns, i wanted that ear too badly

squishy, delicious, sad and lonely gods

I am getting tired of drawing wool lolololol

[theshepherdshound]

things that could've been but didn't happen

or maybe they did? maybe between some version of them; the happy ones, or at least the ones who survived at all

Chapter 13: Can We Let This Lie?

Time for the infant God to learn how to swim

Ramblings and b/w version below

I actually think Narinder is too small in this which is clearer in the line art- I also drew it a few weeks ago now and maybe caused the beginning of hand hurty. His eyes aren't fully there- the lamb's are kind of just ?? small I guess

There's a bunch of drawings from this chapter cause I think it is my favourite from the first act and kind of starts the next one. Time to learn how to swim and be a God of Death

Don't love it- but don't hate it. Dunno, it is a drawing and I think that's fine either way. Good job me for rendering a thing

okay tyty byeeeee
