Concept sketches of hairstyles for aristocratic Esrolian women

Here’s one of my favorite pieces by Roman Kisyov that we didn’t use in RQ – a concept sketch of hairstyles for aristocratic Esrolian women. But I am sure I will find a use in a later book:

A good Esrolian aristocrat always has a servant around to take care of her hair or guy. (Isn’t Selkana accompanied by a muscle bound man dressed only in a loin cloth whose main function is to take care of her hair and makeup?) If not, she should. She needs a muscle bound barbarian who takes care of makeup and hair. Conan the Hairdresser. Everyone knows Humakti make terrible hairstylists. All that denial of the pleasures of life, ascetic embrace of death, and so on make them way unfashionable. Everyone knows ducks are even worse stylists than Humakti. Humakti Ducks are like four times worse. I am now imagining a heroquest sponsored by the most powerful nobles in Nochet for the perfect style – the very style with which Ernalda captured the heart and mind of gods like Yelm, Orlanth, Magasta, and more.
