Say, what's up with Faquarl's red hairclip? I thought him far too vain for that.

Do you want the short answer or the long answer? Because the short answer is I thought it would look cute and I am weak

Now I'm really curious about the long one. Do tell.

Well, Faquarl has his vanity but it's different compared to Bartimaeus. He doesn't exactly go for aesthetic beauty like Bartimaeus does. Faquarl's approach can be summed up basically to "I'm trying to look like I don't care how I look." His human forms compared to Bart's tend to be more down to earth, more homely. I'd say they're more practical for his purposes too.

That's why for his chef form I went for a stockier build, hairy arms, thick eyebrows, etcetera.

When trying to figure out his hair, I tried experimenting with clips, because whenever I have to put my hair up like that I usually at least need one clip for my hairs that are too short to be tied back. It would be practical; I only figured out it looked kinda cute afterwards as an unintended side effect. I am weak so I kept it instead of changing his hair style.

...I should draw him with different hair clips in the future; there would probably be some humor to be found there.

Hahaha, you should draw him with a headful of of multicoloured rainbow clips. I bet he'd make a pretty girl! :D

Technically he could present himself as a woman if he wanted to, haha. Though it's not something he's been shown to do, which I find interesting. Bart takes female forms, but often only to fulfill some ulterior purpose, like with the magician Ezekiel in the Ring of Solomon.

Okay that was a bit off topic, but yes, I should draw him with a headful of multicoloured rainbow clips. The idea is perfection.

Wow, nice

Off topic, my dear, is what we DO! Yay!

We are already looking forward to see Faquarl with multicolored hairclips. ^_^ Your drawing are very nice, by the way! Do you use a tablet for it?

Thank you very much! Yes, I do actually. I could stream sometime too, if you'd like.

Please do!

Oh, sure thing! Is there a specific time anyone would be cool with? Or a day of the week, I suppose. A Friday would be best for me, honestly speaking.

Friday's good

How exactly does live streaming work?

well, from what I know, you connect with other people (like, say, by skype, but then you have to use 'share screens' option)
and they can watch you do stuff live (in our case, we'd watch Jonah draw)
- at least I think so

Oh, skype. Yeah, something like that.

Well, the way it works is you don't need an account or anything really to watch; here is the channel I would use by the way.

When I'm streaming from my computer to you guys, I'll still be able to chat using the chat panel that's to the side of the window. All you would need to do to talk is set a nickname; easy to do, the first time you try to send anything in a chat it will automatically ask you to set one on its own. So no worries!

Cool program, we could use the chatbar for meetings.

Like our club meeting? Good idea

Yep. No way to share food, though.
