I drew this a while ago and decided to add some more foliage and a little background. I still need to get more comfortable with the leaf technique I used, but I think it’s good enough here. - - #goblins #skeleton #characterdesign

Roughs for the Holly King and the Oak King (the Holly King is currently gaining in his strength to its peak on the 21st, when he'll kill the Oak King, starting the seasonal cycle anew). The direct mirroring is just to reckon on the design, they'll have slightly different looks, but still close.

Here’s a fun Frodo drawing. I’m gonna turn this one into an ornament.

Been trying for a while to nail down Grýla, and a big part of the difficulty was that I wasn't leaning into how she's generally represented in costume these days. So less a troll with nineish tails, more a lanky ogre with layered sweaters (roughs, finals will be inked and watercolored)

Here’s a frodo sketch, still working this guy out, the next one will be more dynamic and refined

Here’s a mockup I made today with some old art. I think tomorrow I’ll adjust the template and do some new illustrations for fun.

Took a long 3 months off of drawing, just started sketching again last night, here’s a few of em.

Finally found a frame big enough and good enough for my Chris Schweizer Over the Garden Wall Print. #overthegardenwall

I decided to rename the sketchbook to “Nicky Noons Bestiary of Goblins & More” Along with that I redesigned the cover, it’s not 100% finished but it will look very close to this. #characterdesign #conceptart #goblins

Here’s some character studies, gotta get her hair more simplified but I think this is a good start. #characterdesign

Here’s Page 8, really having fun learning how to draw armor. #characterdesign

Working on some Armored Skellys. Really digging the bearded guy so far.

Here’s a page from my second sketch book. I took a long break from working on it but now I’m back at trying to do a page a day. #characterdesign #conceptart #goblins #d&d #fantasyart #cartoons

Here’s a Goblin Skelly, gonna try and make more variants of this. #characterdesign #goblins

Starting on a poster commission (Patreon)

Here’s a commission I did a month ago, the picture isn’t the best. I’ve never drawn bird people/kenku before and I’m pretty happy with how they turned out. The other 2 are just my color tests. #characterdesign #dungeonsanddragons #dnd

If you ever wanted original art from an indie comic with upwards of tens of copies in circulation, I'm running a raffle for some full size inked pages from Tales of the Frog Knight issue 1. For only 6 dollars and pure random chance, this art can be yours! Enter here www.armandbodnar.com/store-1-1

Here was a fun sketchcard I did at #C2E2

Here’s a sketch cover I did at #c2e2

Here’s the covers to my new sketchbooks! Vol:1 is $15 and Vol:2 is $10. They’ll be exclusively available at #C2E2 I’ll be at table D-15, give me a dm if you’re interested in pre show commissions.

It’s gonna be a long week and a half, but I’m excited. Here’s some of the character designs that are gonna be in the back of the book. It’s gonna be a 6 page mini comic with 12 pages of character designs.

Made some Errol Stickers. I’ll post a better picture with packaging when I have that all done. #goblins #C2E2 #stickers

Here we go again! Catch @nickynoons.bsky.social and I at #C2E2 . Table still to be announced!

Errol the Goblin: Errol shooting an explosive arrow. Having fun with this guy, looking forward to getting better with each time I draw him. #goblins #characterdesign

Errol the Goblin: I found a lot of nice color combos but I like the blue the best. I’m definitely gonna use some of the other options for some background characters though. #goblins #characterdesign #comics

Still tweaking the designs but I think I’m getting closer to something I’m happy with.

Here’s some hobbits I’m working on for fun. Don’t care about being accurate with these lads.

And it’s done. Not perfect but good practice. #comics #goblins

Inking an old page to get back into the swing of things. #goblins #comics

Here’s pages 1,2,5,and 6 from the first printing of my sketch book. #goblins #frogs #characterdesign

Currently upscaling and reformatting my sketchbook for a new print run. I’m really enjoying the new boarders. It’s a work in progress I’ll make sure to update as I go along. #goblins #comics
