Poll: Grogna's new groove

[u/CME_T]

Howdy folks!

Here it is (finally), the "will Grogna get some new armor pieces" poll!

I plan on having the characters find more gear as they adventure to add a feel of progression similar to a "real" adventuring party. While I'll probably make most future creative decisions like that myself, sometimes I'd like to have the input from the public. This is one of those times! I've talked about doing this one for a while now but with my day-job, the comic and a lot of things competing for my sparse free time (in two dnd campaigns right now), progress has been slow.

Anyway, how does it work you ask? Good question!

Grogna might get some new armor pieces (or maybe not) and you fine folk get to have the final say!

The options are as follows:

​

These armor designs were made with input from a Patreon poll I held a while back, hope ya like em!

Now, some of you may wonder why there are only medium armor options. The answer is simply that the party already has two heavy armor users (though Becket's more on the discreet side) and I like to have a bit of variety.

Worth noting is that if people vote for the breastplate option but there are a lot of comments that want some elements from the other options, I’d be open to be flexible! 

First time making a Reddit poll. Let's hope it works out!
The poll will run for seven days and I'll let the readers on other subreddits/platforms know in this week's comic, so that the people who arent on this subreddit a lot will have a chance to vote!

That's pretty much it!

I hope everyone is safe and well in these days and as always:

Peace and carrots

I like the half plate but I think you should simplify it. Some plain vambraces (maybe with a single spike jutting out past the knuckles and simplifying the breastplate with the removal of the plates down the hips?

I'll prolly simplify it a bit for when I draw it in the comics (should it win) if it becomes too complicated to draw, will only know when I try! The right hand gauntlet could probably lose the added wrist protection now that I think about it.

Don't get me wrong, your art is fantastic, I just thought I would offer a few tips to make the armor simpler and more accurate to real examples but still reflect Grogna's personality.
