Twenty years ago yesterday, I received my first assignment from Wizards of the Coast to design miniatures. Two decades later, I am still making monsters for them. Thoughts on the blog! https://christopherburdett.blogspot.com/2025/06/twenty-years-later-two-decades-of.html #wotc #wizardsofthecoast #dndart #dndartist #mtgartist #mtgart

Looking back at work done 19 years ago on the blog. This time, it is the Knight with Bell miniature design that I did for Dreamblade, but the game was canceled before this one was made. https://christopherburdett.blogspot.com/2025/05/a-second-look-at-older-work-dreamblade.html #monaterart #monsterartist #dreamblade #miniature #miniaturedesign

My May blog break begins next week after one final post on Monday. The monsters will be in control of things starting Tuesday, so you can expect they will do absolutely nothing until my return. https://christopherburdett.blogspot.com/2025/04/may-blog-break-starting-next-week.html #blog #monsters #monster #monsterart #monsterartist
