Now Ashmurla is the new bishop of Chaos....

[tixuctoad]

Part 3 of drawing the bishops in outfits I have them wearing in my save yayayay shamura anyways the vision I had for this has me sobbing and puking something something volunteering to take on reading a story to a class of kids but some of the students vaguely look like your siblings

Throws myself onto the floor just Kallamar and narinder left then I'll line these and color them

[novadoesartforfun]

Context : Bishops' ex acolytes are protective of their bishops even as a follower form tho relationship is different with each group.

Leshy with his acolytes are just friends

Kallamar acolytes just protect him like a glass. He really don't mind and he likes it.

Heket treat her acolytes like children so they are not fond of Hugo.

Shamura has basic Teacher and Student relationship with their acolytes

also,hugo marked heket

Shamura x Narinder

The model student has a secret meeting with her junior in the library.

Part 3 of re-doing refs! Our first Bishop is Shamura 🕷 originally I planned making theirs last but I kinda want to make it in order each of the Bishops would arrive as followers. I wanted to give them their own two outfits, and to have them stand out for their cult wear (like the rest of the bishops with their gold) and so a purple cloak it would be!! The other four also wear cloaks in accords to their old crown colors

And their casual outfit felt more fitting too,, they like to be outside a lot and so I figured their outfit being most similiar to Goat's cult wear could be more settling for them

Headcanons!! I forgot to add that they don't really talk to many people outside of their family and disciples, their social interactions mainly consist of their "students" (since they're technically a teacher but technically not) at the morgue. With that in mind,, they have more empathy with objects and smaller beings rather than people,, so they frequently talk to a group of little spider's that gather outside of Silk Cradle just for them

And ofc a blank!! I think their outfit isn't too bad, I like the final detail :-D their sister will be next for tomorrow 🕺

[gluedwithgold]

Narinder, how difficult has it been to train Aym and Baal? Were they good students?

"I can't fathom why Shamura sent ones so young, but I suppose it made their teaching and loyalty easier."

[gerroacarnival]

Someone erased my leshy on the board so I’ve drawn all 4 (just to be clear the board is for student use)

I apologise for the low quality shamura, i ran out of purple so I couldn’t re do it

[gsstories]

COTL AU

I have thought of an AU. Imagine if the lamb didn’t make the Bishops their followers. What if after the fight, the Bishops were sent into a deep sleep and woke up when the humanoid animals went all extinct and now humans roamed the world. They Bishops are now small, weak and almost powerless. They have to slowly regain the power of their crowns before taking over again but then they are all found by humans, some who decide to take them in and take care of them. Well, at least most of them are taken in. Narinder would not let himself be adopted.

AU is basically a ‘What if the Bishops were normal ish animals and had humans to care for them?’ Shamura would be the pet tarantula of a genius yet overly stressed college student. Kallamar be living in an aquarium and one of the workers, a young adult, there cares for him a lot. Narinder is a stray cat that is often aggressive towards people but eventually warms up to one person, a chill schooler. Heket is a fat frog who be treated like queen cause frogs are the best by a rather hyper middle schooler. And Leshy is taken in as a pet by a primary school student.

Who would these characters be? Idk, it’s up for interpretation, it’s an open AU and anyone can use it. Do whatever you want, the humans be placeholders in my eyes until I figure something out but hey, I hope this can be fun for someone! Just imagine having a wise spider, a scared squid, an angy kitty, an even angrier frog and an arrogant worm! It be chaos and I love it!

(If anyone does end up using this idea, please do credit me and tag me cause I would love to see the way you would write about them)

I've been wondering how you do your animations?

i animated them on clip studio paint! they are 17-18 or so frames, give or take, so to make a little gif like them you don't need ex

i don't think i'm completely qualified to explain how to animate in clip studio paint (and honestly. you do not need clip studio paint for this), but i wish to point out that every separate moving part, if you want them to move differently from the body, needs its own folder to be independent. in the case of the talk sprites, it's their eyes, mouth, crowns, as well as extra appendages (i'm using shamura's as an example, so their pedipalps)

i animated the blink on 7s. it's a bit of an odd frame rate, but it works

for the blink, simply drawing an open eye and closed eye works, but we can add some extra frames in between to make it more interesting. i will go over what i did to do so

it consists of 5 unique frames

first is the wide open eyes. just draw them how you normally do

next is this about to close eye. i have put onion skin on so you can compare the previous (blue) and next (green) frames

frame 3 is the actual close. you don't need to animate every step of closing, because that will make the movement feel slow. i'm not an animation student but from what i have picked up as a hobbyist, less frames in between makes the action look faster because your brain can fill in the rest!

frame 4 is still closed-eyed, but extended down a bit. this will make the part where their eyes open squish a bit before they bounce. it adds tension to the movement and makes it more interesting

and the last unique frame is this half-lidded look. just opening their eyes again. this movement is a bit slower, so we add another frame

from here, i insert frame 2 and frame 1 to the end to make the full blink! if you want another reference, look at this drawing made by crowne prince. this image comes from a video that goes into a lot more detail, as well as including eyelashes

the mouth i animated on 5s. i needed motions that always looked like talking so i am sure there are better lip sync guides out there. the mouth does not need to move quickly, so the frames change little by little as they move, opposed to the blink

you can also see it in action in this gif i made of my sona. though in this gif, there is an extra frame between the starting eye and the lidded eye, an extra bounce after opening. i did not do this for the bishops but if you want a little more oomf in your blink, you can add the extra frame

the blink is not on loop. for the entire animation, they blink once. because constant blinking is a bit unnatural, unless they got something in their eyes! but each of the bishops blinks at a different time :)

frame 1, i referenced the original game sprite because that's an easy starting out point

for frame 2, the mouth is wider, again bringing the tension and bounce properties into this movement

frame 3 is smaller than frame 1, it is getting ready to close

frame 4 gets closer

and frame 5 closes!

and this animation is on a consistent loop. 1>2>3>4>5>4>3>2>1 and repeat

and each of their extra appendages (if applicable) are different. but in general they had 3 unique frames. a resting position, an inbetween of going up, and a high point. then it would come back down. depending on the swiftness of the movement, i might skip a frame (kallamer's ears, for example). but since shamura is generally more relaxed, they move slower and more consistently

again i am not an animation student but i hope this was insightful

Asks are now open!

FOR CONTEXT: In the AU, Ashmurla replaces Leshy and Ashmurla doesn't have any siblings! :)

My Husband is the God of Pestilence - chapter 11

Shorter chapter this time, but a lot happens in it! 💋💋💋💋💋

"I don't understand."

Kallamar greatly appreciated Shamura's seemingly never-ending well of patience. The spider remained calm, saying again, "Narinder is our new brother. He is the new chosen bearer of the red crown. He will need training to use it properly, so I have decided to take him under my wing."

The kitten had not taken its eyes off him since he appeared in the room. The crown stared him down as well, as if challenging him. The red crown, that gave its bearer power over death itself. Left in the hands of a child, it was a dangerous weapon indeed. At its full power, it could end the life of a person with a simple glance. Kallamar swallowed thickly, looking back to Shamura.

"Is that a good idea?"

Shamura cocked their head at him. "You would rather he weild the crown without precision? That would cause untold chaos throughout the lands and lead to countless unnecessary deaths."

"Can you at least tell him to stop staring at me?"

The spider pulled over a book from their desk, opened it to a random page and set it standing up between Kallamar and Narinder, hiding the new god from view. "He likes to read. Or, rather, he likes the pictures."

"Shamura, I thought you were training me to be a god," Kallamar said. "How can you train me if you are focusing on... him?"

"Can one not speak multiple languages? I can train both you and Narinder. Besides, your training is mostly complete."

"I know, but... I always thought it would be, I mean... I thought... I didn't know your would be taking on other students!"

They seemed to understand what he was saying without so many words. "Kallamar, you are not being replaced. You are still important to me, and should you take the effort to get to know him, you will find companionship in Narinder as well."

Kallamar lifted up the book, showing that Narinder had not moved one inch. He gestured incredulously at the kitten. "You think so?"

Shamura sighed, and their tone grew more serious, "Kallamar, you may not like it, you don't even have to like each other, but Narinder will be staying with me. There is no other option. I will not allow him to go unchecked while the crown sits upon his brow. It would not only be incredibly irresponsible, but also very cruel. And jealousy is not a good look on you, brother."

That last comment really shut Kallamar up. Yes, he was jealous, and he was ashamed to be jealous of a child. And Shamura did make very good points about helping Narinder, and the crown did need a bearer. But Kallamar had always envisioned he and Shamura alone, together, helping each other and counting on one another. He never thought about what would happen when his training days were finally over. What would he do without Shamura? Now they would spend all their time with Narinder and likely forget all about him. Like these past ten years had been for nothing. He felt like a baby bird being shoved from its nest too early.

"Besides," Shamura continued, their tone easing up a little, "isn't it better for the red crown's power to be in our favor?"

Kallamar nodded mutely. He couldn't believe this was happening.

Shamura gazed at him disappointedly. "Was there something you wanted to talk about? You seemed like you had something to discuss with me when you first came."

That's right, what did he come here for again? He wanted to tell Shamura something. "No."

The spider was quiet for a moment, before sighing. "You are welcome to stay, if you like, but I'm afraid the material we are covering will be quite boring. We were going over numbers and sums."

"I better go back to my temple," said Kallamar dejectedly.

"Very well. We hope to see you again soon."

As Kallamar left his seat and began to sink through the floor, he snuck one last peek at Narinder, and saw something that made his blood run cold. An ugly smirk decorated the kitten's face, one of a sore winner, gloating over the loser.

Little did he know it would be the first of many times that Narinder would give him that look.

*

"Good morning!" Lilybell sang, opening the door to Kallamar's study. "I had such a lovely dream last night! You and I were in a huge field picking wild flowers, and... hey, what's wrong?"

Kallamar was slumped over his desk, head in his hands, looking altogether miserable. He hadn't moved in a few hours, and didn't react at all to Lilybell coming into the room.

The girl climbed onto the desk, standing right in front of his face. "Hello-o?" She said, waving a hand at him.

"Mm," came the distant reply. His eyes were sort of glazed over, like he was lost in deep thought.

Lilybell put her hands on her hips, her lips pursed tight. "Mr. Kallamar," she said, feigning seriousness, "you had better tell me what's going on right now or I'll... cry!" But a twitching of her lips suggested that she was closer to laughing than crying. Her expression turned to worry, and she reached up at put a hand on his chin. "Please tell me what's wrong. You're my boyfriend, you can tell me anything."

That seemed to rouse him, and his eyes focused on her. After a few moments, he said, "Shamura has a new apprentice."

"That's good, isn't it?" She asked.

He moved back, sitting up straighter. "Is it? Now Shamura will focus on him and forget all about me."

"No way! Shamura wouldn't do that! Did they say they didn't want anything to do with you anymore?"

"No."

"Well then, don't worry about it! Now you can make a new friend with this new guy! What's his name?"

"He does not want to be friends with me," Kallamar said doubtfully. "You didn't see him, darling. I don't trust him. I feel he is nothing but contemptible."

Her face fell. "I'm sorry. I guess I can understand where you're coming from. Nobody likes to feel like they've been replaced. But even if he doesn't like you, Shamura does. You shouldn't give up on that."

Kallamar gazed down at her fondly, cupping his hands together so she could step into them, before lifting her up to his face. "What would I do without you, my pearl? How do you always know what to say?"

She smiled at him. "I don't know... I guess it's because I... well, I know it's silly, but I guess it's because I don't really see you as a god? I mean, I know you're really big and can do magic and stuff, but, when I look at you, I just see you as a person like me. And I don't want you to feel sad..."

A moment of boldness overtook her, and she crawled forwards on his hands until she was close enough to touch his face, and leaned over to give the side of his mouth a chaste kiss. His mouth dropped open, and when she pulled away she saw a look of surprise on his face.

"I'm sorry! Was that a bad thing to do?" She said hastily.

Something started to happen to him. He began to shrink, the chair around him growing larger, until his hands could no longer hold her, and she held onto his robes so that she wouldn't fall. He continued to decrease in size until he was just her height, and they were both standing on the chair together, looking at each other at eye level for the first time. She was surprised, but not totally shocked at this revelation, considering the magic he could do.

He hesitantly took her hands in his own, lacing the fingers together, leaned forward, and kissed her.

Having never been kissed before, Lilybell was a little unsure of what to do, so she thought it best to let instinct guide her. She let go of his hands and wrapped her arms around his neck, while his arms went around her waist. His lips were quite soft, like the rest of his skin, and his teeth were sharp, but gentle when they brushed against her.

They sank to the seat of the chair together, wrapped up in each other, feeling one another in ways they couldn't when Kallamar was full sized. The blue crown tumbled to the seat as she felt him, and his robe fell after it, revealing four thin black arms and many tentacles, and a small tunic covering his chest. His hands ran down her sides and up her back, getting lost in her hair, and she gasped into his mouth when one cupped her ass.

He broke away, gasping for breath, his face flushed. "What?" He asked, not upset.

"No one's ever touched me there," she breathed, eyes half closed.

"Should I stop?"

She thought about it for a moment, before grabbing his wrist and putting his hand back on her. "No... I like it."

He grinned and kissed her again, giving her backside a loving grope.

Thankfully, no one bothered the lovers for quite some time because they really needed their privacy. No one saw them until after lunch, and a few people commented when Lilybell limped along beside him, but she just smiled, and so did he.

[fanged-cotl]

Was shamura like a mother figure to Narinder (Or a aunty figure?) I've seen your art of his childhood, but I assume he was abandoned somewhere and Shamura found him? I love your Lambi au, its so goddamn interesting I NEED TO KNOW MORE WAAAA

TYSM ANON

They were like a parental* figure you could say, kind of like a mentor-student dynamic.

He was indeed abandoned because the catfolk trying to kill him ran out of ideas, he just kept surviving, but feeling all the pain though.

Shamura had the red crown but didn't know what to do with it, and found the kitten, gave him the crown and named him.

Narinder was safe. Things were good, until they weren't.

~

This demonic kitten grew up to be power hungry. The bishops were all non-sapient animals before their crowning whereas narinder was not only a sapient being, but a demonic/cursed one at that, making him much more powerful. Sprinkle in a childhood of loneliness and abuse and you have someone who is willing to resort to violence to get his ideals met (acceptance of resurrection- aka infinite power for him. He gains power through sacrifice and death, he could ressurect the dead and have them die again and again...)

The bishops of course were willing to go lower than his attack though. Willing to resort to a racial genocide just to keep him in chains for as long as possible.

His only means of entertainment were mentoring Aym and Baal by sending them to purgatory to fight. Shamura wanted to do the same thing for him that he had done for them, become a mentor and almost a son for them. Narinder was in constant sensory discomfort. His heart closed (metaphorically), not that he had a heartbeat to begin with (literally - he doesn't gain a heartbeat until he is spared by Lambi and becomes a "mortal") He was a very strict, cold, and manipulative man. He didn't hurt the twins, but he was definitely verbally abusive at times. He had lots of fits of rage and meltdowns. The kittens could back up and watch him scream at them. :(

If the catfolk colony had accepted him for who he was despite the death that followed his birth, he would've grown up to be a 3-eyed immortal autistic dude, maybe doing good in the world. Kitty Jesus or something hahaha.

Coffee Shop AU Facts [ no. 3 i think ]

Hugo owns a bar and is a manager and a bartender.

Heket tend to go to Hugo's bar to cool off with some non-alcoholic drinks.

The Witnesses works as a assistant for each of the bishops at their jobs.

Witnesses Agaras is an editor for Leshy's MyTube Videos and mod for Leshy's Streams

Witnesses Bathin is an assistant Chef under Heket.

Witnesses Astroth is a nurse under Kallamar.

Witnesses Allocer works as assistant teacher for Shamura as well as Tutor for his students.

Heket kept saying she's only going to that bar because it's not too noisy and the drink is good. But their siblings know the real reason.

Kallamar has a crush on one of the new nurses. She's a hawk. ( Thank god Cotl added birds I can finally make it happen XD )

Leshy and Narinder tease him for that.

(prev) Shamura tenses slightly at the slammed door, but soon after starts to take in the fascinating room. The part that fascinated Shamura the most were the terrariums, they got to see very few regular animals on Locdeom, it was mostly populated by monsters outside the occasional bird or spider. But at Miriam’s direction, they nod and move to take the seat. “I’m terribly sorry for the interruption, Priestess, I’ll do my best to make myself as unobtrusive as I can,” they say.

Hearing Shamura’s apology reminded Miriam it wasn’t their fault. She sighed and moved over to a shelf, looking for things that might interest the student but weren’t too important to be messing around with.

“It’s okay…”

After a moment she returned with a book titled “How To Care For Venomous Phian Frogs,” a small tattered notebook with a half-sharpened red colored pencil, some sort of puzzle cube comprised of different colored blocks, a somewhat worn out stress ball, and a pair of dice. A kid would find interest in at least some of these, right? 

Miriam placed the items on the table and said “knock yourself out.” She then returned to what she was doing before she was interrupted, which was sitting on a stool next to the cauldron, reading from a thick, old-looking tome, and occasionally dropping an ingredient into the concoction and mixing it with a long stick.
