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.

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.

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

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 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
