QRP with your most popular piece on bsky. Somehow it’s this one.
Tristan Elwell@tristanelwell.bsky.social · 5d agoQRP with your most popular piece on bsky ~ Gotta be this one. It was also my most popular on the birdsite. Also my most popular on Tumblr (I don't even have a Tumblr). It's nearly thirty years old. Sometimes I feel like a one-hit wonder.
Haven’t done a new illustration for a token in a minute, but took some time in between other stuff to make this one.
🎉🎊🎉🎊 Hey hey heyyyyy today it’s my birthday!! 37 laps around the Sun!! If you could repost this post I would be more than happy!! Here are some of my fave works and my other links! linktr.ee/alvarojimene...
After 5 years I'm closing down my Etsy shop. It used to be a very good platform to sell my tokens, but in the last couple of years it just didn't work, which is quite sad. I'm exploring other options for online sales, but in the meantime you can always email/dm me if you need some tokens!
Thinking about doing some playmats to start showing the card game I'm working on. The idea will be to have one per faction, just need to make an illustration that fits well for the fourth one 🙃
As promised, here's the Dragon Spirit token using that old painting.
Found this random drawing I did years ago and decided to remake it to order some stickers :)
Robin and Ramy witness Babel, the Royal Institute of Translation, in all its foreboding majesty second illustration for R. F. Kuang's Babel - illustrated edition, out now from Harper Voyager 40x30cm ink on claybord
“Waterflies” Acrylic on watercolour paper. 36x45cm (aprox). Haven’t painted an abstract piece in a while, but I took a break from work and spent some time with this one. It felt good.
“Spiritual Migration” Acrylics on watercolour paper, A4. 2012 or so. Unused painting. After in the project for a bit, the client decided to go in a different direction.
Knight of the 3rd order for Age of Decay.
I haven't looked properly at the Marvel set, but Sentry is one of my favourite Marvel characters and I had this painting around (from 2014 I think), so why the hell not.
Gave a second life to a few illustrations I did years ago for tokens I don't print anymore
“Walking Corpse” for Age of Decay. For this painting I first painted the whole thing in black and white and then added the colour on top. First time doing this, I still need to get the hang of it but I quite enjoyed it.
RIP Ron Spears. One of the most iconic mtg artist, really sad news.

Did a new version of the Map token without the Land of Shadow to avoid confusion. It does look a bit empty now, right? #eldenring
After London’s Spotlight and UKGE much needed restock of tokens. You can check all if them here: www.albertosballesteros.com/mtgtokens If you want some tokens you can always drop a dm or email at: alberto.s.ballesteros@gmail.com
Immolator, illustration for Age of Decay. I added a bit of lore in alt text 🙃
I think it was about time to make a logo for my game. Although designing logos it’s not my forte, I think this looks cool enough and captures the mood of the game.
I think this is the coolest flame I've drawn.
As I'm doing token restock I came across this one. Not one of my favourite/best illustration for sure, but always thought it was a funny one, with the sword and the angry face.
