New presentation post!

Hi, I'm Alberto and I'm a freelance illustrator currently based in Barcelona.

I make custom MTG tokens and I love fantasy in general. Always open for new projects!

You can check my work here: www.albertosballesteros.com

Illustration of an otter dressed as a wizard chilling next to some islands.

Illustration of a black mage inspired by Final Fantasy IX casting an ice spell.

Illustration of a red dragon flying among mountains and breathing fire in front of a wizard.

Illustration of a mutant bear with the flesh visible in half of his body. Its skull is also partially visible and it has many eyes over its head.

Bizarre that we had to wait 17 years to return to Lorwyn, and right after that set we’ll be back in NY after 6 months or so.

Wohoo! I hope you get to play many Wurmcoil Engines with that mat!

Thank you! I really wanted to make them feel like they were in a... well, lost cavern I guess haha.

Another new token! I'm doing my best to catch up with all the tokens people have been asking about in the last few events, it is an impossible task but I'm doing my best!

I think Digimon in general doesn't have the recognition it deserves. At least the first series is sooooo good.

#tokentober day 8: Copy

We continue with memes! These two has been one of my best sellers since I made them. Funnily enough, I did these one before the Spider-Man set was even announced.

I relate to that haha

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to make the five colour frame. So Shrine and Kavu tokens will be available again!

#tokentober day 7: Construct

One of the first meme tokens I did. I love Mark Tedin, but that Karn was just too funny.

Spotify has the WORST audio quality out of every other streaming platform

It is also the most expensive

They support Joe Rogan

Apple and amazon let you upload your own files to the library.

Tidal and Apple have spatial audio even on PC (need atmos+AC3)

There is no reason to use spotify

I played against it the other day, card’s insane.

Alberto S. Ballesteros🔜Spotlight Liverpool @asbillustration.bsky.social · 2d

Thank you! And you’re right, it has that mercenary look haha (it’s supposed a nomad scout).

Alberto S. Ballesteros🔜Spotlight Liverpool @asbillustration.bsky.social · 2d

Ohhh that’s high praise! Give him my thanks 😊

Alberto S. Ballesteros🔜Spotlight Liverpool @asbillustration.bsky.social · 2d

I did this illustration for my personal project, but in the meantime I thought it could use it as a warrior token, right?

It turns out event stalls are pretty expensive, so I’m in need of some extra money to fund my last few events of the year. Time to part ways with these duals.

I’m thinking 190€ for the Savannah and 180€ for the Taiga, dm if interested!

To be honest, after getting 4 APO Yavimaya Coasts, the idea of getting 3 more APO Llanowar Wastes seems like a difficult tasks right now, plus I always need some extras for cubes etc.
