Art Preview/Poll: Despoina (Patreon)

Art previews are usually a count+ tier thing, but I'm making an exception this time for two reasons. One, it's been a bit since I wrote a lore post. But maybe moreover, this one is kind of big, and I'd like a slightly wider range of opinion on it.

So, as the title suggests, the next project Mimo has been working on has been a rework of Despoina. To start, for anyone who prefers the old: I do plan to leave the old art available as a patch, as with Ligaea's. So, if you don't like this, you will be free to opt out. But, during the process, the issue of the red in Despoina's hair came up. Her original art has red tips, basically. It was always a little weird to me, honestly, but it's been referenced in the story a few times. But, I'm not sure I want to keep it in the new version, so I wanted to put the idea to a poll. I personally favor the pure blonde, but we also have two variants here with the red. One is mixed in on the tips like the old art, while the other is highlights.

If two or more of these are relatively popular, I may make both available through a setting as with Ligaea's art, since we have the tech. Other thoughts are also welcome. The base expression isn't great for evaluating her cuteness, so I may update this or do another post to add an example of that and get opinions on a specific other aspect once Mimo finishes a cuter expression. But other thoughts are welcome here regardless. So, without further ado:

Option A: Pure Blonde Despoina

Option B: Red/Orange Tips

Option C: Red/Orange Highlights
