Nanashi is so mad at everything right now. But I'm excited to see a centaur soon! (Unless the Lady changed her mind about the new arrival, but I thought a male centaur was coming up soon.) _________________ Keeper of Zaebos' and Jormand's powers.

The new arrivals will be showing up in about 3 pages... which isn't so far away this month! I really do like updating the comic at a two page a week pace, but I've had to really crack down to get these extra pages done. Don't think I could keep this up on a regular basis without letting the tv raise my children for me
This is definitely a good time to go back and review any of the parts will Beluosus in them. Hints abound! _________________ Keeper of Nanashi's Vambraces and the Amethyst Trees.

I am so busy but I just had to make my way to the forum to say how much I've been enjoying the comic recently. Oh the suspense! Oh the awesomeness!  |

Yes indeedy!
Lady, do you have photo reference for Nan's hair style? I want to do it with mine, but I can't figure it out from the comic. Thank you! _________________ Self-styled Forum Grandmother, because I hand out nicknames and hugs whether you want them or not. ^_^

Oh, they're easy! It just depends on how long your hair is. The longer the hair, the easier it is to do a bun, bin my opinion... Twist the tail tight and wrap it around the ponytail, then tuck the end into the hairband.
But that's not what Nan did, so I don't know how to do that bun. _________________ Self-styled Forum Grandmother, because I hand out nicknames and hugs whether you want them or not. ^_^

If you've got long enough hair you can secure it with a stick. I used to use waxed wooden knitting needles in my hair.
From the looks of it Nan's folded her hair vertically and secured it with a clip. I'm fair sure my hair would never cooperate with a style like that, but Nan's is a lot longer than mine! _________________ He who does not eat cheese will go mad. ~ French proverb.

Yeah - and I think mine's too thick. It barely fits into a clip as it is, and never folded twice. _________________ Self-styled Forum Grandmother, because I hand out nicknames and hugs whether you want them or not. ^_^

Sorry I missed the whole hair discussion somehow! Anyhow, I don't actually have a reference for Nanashi's hair. I just thought such a design was possible and went with that.
It should be noted that I can't even do a braid. I've had short hair for most of my life and am absolutely horrible at putting it up or doing much of anything with it.
And woooooooo Egypt! Her name is Maatkare, not that it's going to come up in the comic, but they do all have names  _________________ Keeper of Nanashi's Vambraces and the Amethyst Trees.

Loving the comic this month! I took your advice Lady, and re-read the whole comic. It is so awesome! And now I feel like Bel has a tragic past...

Aw, thank you! Bel's got a lot more going for him than he lets on in the beginning. Lots of interesting tidbits are forthcoming! _________________ Keeper of Nanashi's Vambraces and the Amethyst Trees.

Oliblish's children are awesome but I actually came here because I just had to mention that it's spelled "dissipate".

Don't worry, Tam. If you hadn't, we would have.

The unnaturally "naturally" high levels of blood element also neatly explains how three of Obilish's children managed to form soulstones at once.
