Added 2022-02-16 19:15:16 +0000 UTCBaby Mansa and his Nan, Effia (or just Effie)! She loves his so so much! She and her wife Haniah are his role models, and his hair is most definitely inspired by Effie (who has naturally blonde hair maybe?)
I felt bad for posting that sad Mansa comic earlier. He does have a lot of happy childhood memories! Most with his grandmothers teaching him to sew and not letting his siblings tease him 💕

Ahhh! Got it! :D

2022-02-19 00:56:33 +0000 UTCI decided to change it 😊 I thought it would be cuter for him to learn how to bleach his hair from his grandmother, and how that would also be a cute activity for Song to help him with!

2022-02-17 11:48:39 +0000 UTCBeautiful picture, but I am a little confused. You posted a picture of baby Mansa (younger than in the above picture) in March 2021 that showed his hair already being white. Was that just a request to show him as a baby with white hair ... or ...? Either way, what a lovely depiction of a relationship between grandson and grandmother. <3

2022-02-16 22:04:43 +0000 UTCawwwww, his grandmothers deserve the world 😍❤️ and the backstory for his bleached locks just warms my heart now 🥺❤️ they look so happy together! it's a good thing Mansa at least has these moments to go back to in his memories ❤️

2022-02-16 20:37:04 +0000 UTCI decided that it would be more meaningful if he dyed his hair to look like his grandmother, who does have blonde hair, so I changed it 😊 He’s still based on the Melanesian people (that’s where he gets his blue eyes) but he’s not naturally blonde. He probably has a lot of family members who are blonde, but not him anymore! I also love the idea of Song helping to bleach Mansa’s hair and just bonding while doing that 💕

2022-02-16 20:18:08 +0000 UTCAww don’t feel bad, with every smooth chapter there’s a not so smooth one but its all important and all adds up to make us what we are. This is a lovely soft moment and Mansa’s Nan is so lovely. It’s easy to see why she inspired a young Mansa to cultivate his later appearance. He looks so damn cute and happy, I love to see it 🥰❤️🥰❤️

2022-02-16 20:16:19 +0000 UTCThere is something I don't understand about Mansa's hair colour. You have earlier posted a couple of baby Mansa drawings where he has white-blond locks, and you told us that your models for Mansa's hair, colourings and looks were taken from the Melanesian people. (Melanesians have dark skin, blond hair and blue eyes that are not not conncected to European genes for blond or blue.) But now you draw Mansa as dark-haired here.... why has this changed? I doubt little baby Mansa had bleached his locks in your older drawings. Why do you not draw him with Melanesian looks anymore? Why change him?

2022-02-16 19:27:48 +0000 UTCOh did Mansa originally have dark hair? Does he bleach his hair and brows now, or did something happen 👀

2022-02-16 19:21:30 +0000 UTCI’m really not sure, Mansa is not out to his family and even though Effie and Haniah love so much him I’m sure he’s worried about changing their perception of him. That being said they probably already know, they would have seen how close he was with the infernal house keepers daughter.
