Long story short, tonight I just wanted to draw what his backpack looked like from behind. My only complaint is that the audience can't tell how particular and functional he arranges his gear.

ex. The out-of-view gray pouch he keeps hanging from the right side of his belt is ordinarily worn so that the diagonal shoulder rope goes underneath and between the pouch and belt, meaning that Po's pants won't fall down if he's carrying too much in that pouch. (Also, I forgot to include the walking stick he claimed as his part of some recent treasure.)

I had been kinda bugged that for a character of his size and cultural background, he can't really carry around a bulky scabbard, nor have I shown a scabbard in any of his depictions so far. It finally hit me that he'd probably use the weight-reducing holes of his goblin "dogslicer" sword as a way to conveniently hang his weapon via a quick-release knot when he's not in combat. After all, he's got levels in both monk and ranger. So, he's not helpless for keeping his main weapon slightly out of reach on his pack.

Also, I wanted to show off that although it looks like junk, he prefers having a weapon where the pommel of the handle has an iron ring where he can slide his pinky finger through for a better grip under chaotic circumstances. The handle probably used to be part of a wagon.

For those of you who have played through the D&D campaign "Out of the Abyss" for fifth edition, the mummified head hanging from his bags was from one of the four Netherese spectres in the Lost Tomb of KatHEM (sp?) side-quest. When the party got ambushed, Po fought and defeated one of the spectres himself, and I as Po's player was dang pleased with how that battle went.

While everyone else was healing hit points afterward, Po chopped the head off that long-ago deceased Netherese corpse who had once been the spectre's mortal body. After piercing a hole through the skull to hang a short carrying-rope as a handle, Po the Goblin now proudly hangs his grisly trophy from his backpack as a reminder to himself that he doesn't have to be a whipping boy.
