My first ever event selling prints at a local convention! Things went exceptionally well, and I am definitely returning next year as well.

And another one! This one was hard to do, so much fiddly detail that I am not used to. But I had to use this Koschei illustration for something, it's too good. #mtgalter #cardalter #magic #koschei #gonti

I don't super care for anime goblins, so this alter is of Da Red Gobbo! I am very happy with this one, best alter I've done to date. #mtgalter #cardalter #mtg #goblin #magiccards

Apparently instead of doing something productive with myself, I am just an MTG altering streak right now. I am fairly certain the original illustration I copied is by Kochergin, but I could not for the life of me find where I dug it out of. #mtg #alter #cardalter #slavic #magic

Another Magic card alter! And so soon after the last one - a rarity for me. Very pleased with this one. #mtg #magic #cardalter #alter #goreclaw #acrylic #art

Another ACEO/Artist Card. This time it's a favorite topic of mine (as if you couldn't guess), a pumpkin-headed Bugbear! You can find a timelapse video of it here: www.instagram.com/p/Ddnc4--oPdh/ #art #ACEO #artistcards #D&D #Bugbear #Monster

I don't do a lot of Magic card alters, but I have been waiting for 6 years to do a companion piece to the Young Pyromancer Wort alter I did in 2020. And finally with The Hobbit I got a perfect piece to do Greg on! Based on the attached illustration by Andrew MacNeal #art #mtg #magic #cardalter #otgw

Tobias Little, a.k.a. Lil Toby is the party's second cleric (who also happens to be quite short as well, a curious trend) in my weekly Stonehell game. Timelapse video here: www.instagram.com/p/DdJnc9KhKB_/ #art #illustration #sketch #D&D #OSR #Stonehell #Cleric

A drawing of an old guy I met at the beach the other day. I've been curious how well I can adapt subjects to this style I've been working on developing, and I think this is a good success at it. #art #illustration #portrait #oldman #seaside #acrylic #markers

And the finished piece, a Carcosan Boneman. I love these guys and Leiber's ghouls, because "guy who's body is translucent and you can only see his bones" is a wonderfully goofy ass concept. #art #illustration #carcosa #boneman #D&D #osr #acrylic #markers

Today it's a sketch of a Carcosan Boneman, a person with translucent flesh and a visible skeleton. Been tinkering with this one for a bit now trying to figure out the colors I want to use, but I think the palette I settled on is good. #art #sketch #acrylic #boneman #Carcosa #OD&D #fantasy

Another portrait from my weekly D&D game. Vaco Adjacent was that player's second character (his first one is just Vaco), who is a paladin and the resident dungeon licker of the party, due to the paladin's natural immunity to disease and poisons. #art #illustration #paladin #D&D #OSR #B/X #Stonehell

And another Stonehell campaign NPC, this time Sneaky Jan the Thief. He started as a non-entity of a person hence his expression, but he got some magical gear to help him stand out. #art #illustration #D&D #B/X #OSR #thief #character #Stonehell

Did another card, I can see myself enjoying these. Apparently people don't round the corners like they do in actual collectable cards though. Good to know. #art #atc #aceo #bugbear #fantasy #D&D

Drew a small lich today. I am deeply intrigued by artist trading cards, but don't really have anyone near me that I know who makes such and can thus trade with them. Might need to start that myself. #art #lich #D&D #atc #artisttradingcards

Today did a study of a Kyle Ferrin piece. I love Ferrin's artwork and it has a lot of what I wish to see more of in my own art. On the right I added more shading with a black pencil, and I quite like how that looks. #art #sketch #study #kyleferrin

I've not been posting much art as I am slowly working on that Keep on the Borderlands cover redraw. The sketch gives a rough idea of what I'm going for with the very limited color scheme (though the composition is different). #art #sketch #WIP #keepontheborderlands #osr #D&D #fantasy #illustration

Kalin Kadiev Art @kadievart.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Still fiddling with designs for that Keep on the Borderlands cover redraw that I am working on. I think this is it. Took a few iterations to get here, but I am confident that the final piece will turn out good! #art #sketch #keepontheborderlands #bugbear #D&D #B/X #OSR #acrylic #markers

Still doodling away at a potential redraw of the cover for Keep on the Borderlands. I think I really like the very highly saturated limited palette in this, and I think that would work quite well for the finished rendering. #art #sketch #watercolormarkers #elf #D&D #OSR #keepontheborderlands

I was planning on redrawing the rainbow beholder I drew a month ago, and finally got around to doing that. I am so much happier with this one! #art #illustration #acrylic #markers #gay #beholder #rainbow #D&D #OSR

Kalin Kadiev Art @kadievart.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Well, I think the cartoony look I've been messing with is not really going to fit what I'm aiming to do, so time to scrap it and just use a different style for the piece. It's important to know when to just drop something. #art #sketch #acrylic #markers #elf #D&D #OSR

Kalin Kadiev Art @kadievart.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Messing around with a slightly different cartoony style from the one I shared yesterday. Not as happy with this one, it seems the flat look breaks down if you have too much line work. #art #sketch #cartoon #markers #ink #hobgoblin #D&D #fantasy

Kalin Kadiev Art @kadievart.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Trying out a simpler more cartoony or picture book-like illustration. There's something here, but it's not quite there yet. #art #sketch #bugbear #watercolor #ink #D&D

Today's drawings are on some colored cardstock I have. The wolf turned out better of the two, but oh my god was it not a good idea to use a pen nib on this material, it simply refused to work well. Too much texture maybe. #art #sketch #wolf #gothic #castle #ink #gouche #pen
