Jomo's art dump

my part for the spring part of the @cotl-yoa zine!

there are a lot of parts to my design decisions regarding kallamar, as well as the rest of the bishops tbh.

one part is that i just like character designs with more unique body types. Whether that be things like extra limbs or non human parts, I just find those things to be interesting. It’s also part of the reason why my leshy and shamura look the way they do too.

another thing is that I also took a lot of inspiration from the way some other artists have designed him, (the ones specifically that come to mind are kyuokorpses design and elizaforgets design, i think the latter deleted their account though)

and the third reason is that i wanted to show the bishops relationships to their crowns and their personalities through their designs. Shamura and kallamar had their crowns the longest out of all of the bishops, so their bodies are the most distorted. Kallamar is also a coward, represented by his small, weak upper body, who held overwhelming power, represented by his massive lower body.

they smol :D (i think i made them like, 5'3", [160 cm]. Also fun fact, my narinder is even shorter, only being 5'0" [152cm])

But actually, a funfact I totally didnt just make up rn is that they like to sew! Before the cult got so big and crazy, they would spend the little free time they had coming up with new cloak designs and making things like tapestries. And sometimes, for very special occasions, they'd make special outfits for their followers.

Also, I know im sharing this like, 11 days late, again, but I am doing artfight this year!!
