Small update and Patron Poll: Grogna's new weapon(s)
🕑 Added 2023-02-05 16:08:46 +0000 UTCEDIT: Reuploaded this one because the poll only allowed for one choice, was meant to be a multiple choice poll!
Howdy folks!
I'm still alive, been a lot with my firstborn so there have not been any updates to the comic in January (as you may have noticed). Been doing some streaming over on my Twitch, trying to get to affiliate this month so I can monetize my Twitch a bit (gotta get that moolah)!
Been doing some work on the comic though, lotsa sketches on future comics and designs, planning ahead and whatnot! Hopefully the wee one will allow me to get enough work in to get a buffer going but the plan is to post some comics in March, mostly because I dont want to leave the comic where it is now but also because I wanna get some comics out there to generate engagement for the Makeship Bucket plushie campaign. Oh right, havent mentioned that one eh?
This little guy will have a Makeship campaign all to himself late next month. You'll have three weeks to pre-order him! Haven't done ANY merch so far so why not hit big right outta the gate?
Anyway, when I was sketching and writing the comic I started to make plans for Grognas future gear. Been a bit all over the place! Got stuck on the concept of a muscle cuirass like the old Greek ones, bit of an ancient armor look while showing off those guns. Can't get that outta my head! Not sure how boobplaty I'm comfortable getting. On one hand, I've always been a big supporter of reasonable armor for female characters that doesnt needlessly sexualise stuff but on the other hand the muscle cuirass... I mean, it is and always were supposed to be a atleast a LITTLE bit horny?
Anyway, I've also been doodling on other party members, here's a bit for Klara (whose design I havent been 100% happy with for a while). The rest are outside of the picture cuz theyre SECRET.
But onto the Patron Poll! I realise I havent done one for over a year, what a travesty! I'd love to get your feedback on what type of weapon(s) Grogna should be using in the future! I've got plenty of ideas for most of these so just vote for what you'd prefer! I obviously might go against what you vote if I come up with a massively awesome idea but I still like your input!
First vote if you'd like Grogna to go Two-handed, Dual-wielding or Sword (or whatever) and Board and then pick the option(s) you'd prefer!
Also, I've paused billing for February as well. Will prolly resume in March when I have more stuff to show. I might keep it on later even if there are no comic updates that month if I feel like I can provide other stuff, like behind the scenes updates what's going on with the comic and any spin-off projects.
That's it for now! Feel free to ask any questions in the comments!
Stay excellent out there!
Peace and carrots!

Whatever it is force feed it to the king and/or lady Malthar and pull it out the other end that seems a fitting punishment, that or they both get disarmed LITTERALLY.

Ha that thought as well! If I go down that route I’ll prolly ”color” the armor grey for that very reason. Would like the armor to be a shony bronze but could be a reddish or oxidized look instead to justify the grey.

A pitfall for the muscle armor. It can be difficult for the reader, to be able to see the difference between naked skin and muscle armor. Especially in black and white drawings. I don't have any answers, but keep it in mind when designing it.
