Another year, another round of Roll For Dragon for #smaugust ! I won’t be able to participate as much this year and will only be able to do 1-2 dragons a week but I still wanted to share a list we can all make stuff from! Feel free to post your dragons under #kmrollfordragon ! #smaugust2025

Today’s creature was a really fun plant monster combo! This one I feel is where the tales of will o wisps could come from and would be seen as guides to the afterlife! Super fun and cool combo for this one! #drawing #artist #creature

June’s Patreon Mail club is here! Little Savannah cuties for this month in honor of it getting hotter haha #patreon #monster #drawing #artist patreon.com/kmccaigue

Got another #magicthegathering token today! I had a lot of fun flexing my food chops again and drawing this Dragonborn barkeep! #drawing #magic #digitalart

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

New project alert! I had a great idea sent to me from a community member to make my own #magicthegathering tokens! I’ve always wanted to do card art and I feel this is a great practice and portfolio builder. #drawing #digitalart #magictoken

Here is the final creature for our mini Savannah Biome Monster Mash series! This one ended up being a predator and scavenger all in one with the combo of a Ruppell’s Vulture, African Wild Dog, and a Mongoose! Thanks for following along on this mini series! #drawing #art #creatureconcept

Got a cute killer snail boy for this month’s Patreon pack! I had a lot of fun converting my recent frozen gelatinous ooze snail into a cute little dude and a popsicle for this months stickers. Sign up on Patreon before the end of the month to get these sent to you in the mail! patreon.com/kmccaigue

Finally jumping on the #starterpacknoai train! I had sooooo much fun making this and adding all my goodies to it! And of course I had to include my doggos and scaly dog! Husband sold separately haha #noaistarterpack #drawing #art

This last Friday I made the first predator for our mini Savanah biome monster mash series! I love how the first predator creature turned out and I can’t wait to see what the final one holds! I love this big hyena wildebeest aadvark combo! #drawing #creaturedesign #clipstudiopaint #monster

Up next on our Savannah Biome Food Chain is a mash of a warthog, a dung beetle, and a hare! I love how both of our prey creatures are so armored. It makes you think what type of predator are they up against in this food chain? #drawing #art #digitalart #clipstudiopaint #creaturedesign

The best part about finally going full time with my art is getting able to work on my comic series so much! Fox Among Hounds is going to be packed full of fun beasties so I thought I could make a few videos highlighting them! Here are two creatures from the Fox Nation! #oc #drawing #digitalart

Kicking off a new mini monster mash biome series with our first prey creature! I haven't done one of these food chain monster mash series in a long time so I was excited to jump into them again! What a weird and cool bug mammal to start with! #drawing #digitalart #monster #creatureconcept

Got a fun creepy emoji combo today! I loved making this cold gelatinous cube snail from 🥶💀🐌 and I can’t wait to add this to the next creature compendium! #drawing #art #clipstudiopaint #creaturedesign

Artists have already been struggling because of AI. The loss of work has been very real and very tangible. And now we're heading into a recession with skyrocketing inflation If you have the means, please support your favorite artists. Join their Patreons. Buy prints from their shop. We need it

I finally finished this huuuuge painting! I wanted to give my convention backdrops a revamp so I took on this huge project! Took me about 15 hours since I had to basically paint it to scale. But it was super worth it! #dragon #drawings #painting #dnd

Got a creepy monster again for you today! Double name monster mash of a Horse Leech! I have been wanting to try adding in backgrounds to a few of my pieces to practice and I love how this one turned out (even if it was a ton of work haha) #drawing #artist #creaturedesign #creepy

March goodies! Meant to post this sooner but I am drowning under con prep haha here is this month’s Patreon Mail Club. I was super inspired by my recent Horse Leech painting so I made this month all about them and the blood cult that worships them! #drawing #digitalartist #creaturedesign

New emoji monster mash for today! This croc goat oni 🐊🐐👹was super fun to design and I am so jazzed to be drawing some creepy monsters! #drawing #clipstudiopaint #artist #emojicombos #digitalart

If you are into D&D and will be at Dice Tower West, come check us out at our booth, Black Jackal Studios - Booth 36. We will be hosting demos all weekend if you want to see our available original creature books in action! #dicetowerwest #dicetowerwest2025 #dnd #dungeonsanddragons

I did an awesome emoji collab with Aussie Crafter, Ash Bentley , and Allicsirpart where we each picked an emoji to combine! I chose bison which made the line up for this one 🦬🐙🍄✨! This was such a fun project and an awesome challenge! #drawing #digitalart #clipstudiopaint #creaturedesign

For this month’s Patreon sticker sheet, I drew some cute bread monsters! I really loved how they turned out so I had to feature them in a full video. Check them out on YouTube to see the full creation process! #drawing #digitalart #artist #bread

That’s my arm! Thank you @julianzaneart.bsky.social for the amazing tattoo!!!

Here are my cons and art shows so far for 2025! I am waiting to get word back on quite a few more so anticipate this getting updated! Haha hope to see some of you there! #conventionartist #art #comiccon #artist

This last Friday, I revisited a prompt that I used to do all the time and that was drawing childhood show villains in Darksouls Style. I had a blast redrawing Him from the Powerpuff Girls as an extra creepy villain! #fromsoftware #drawing #powerpuffgirls #creepy

I recently redesigned my D&D party! We have done a lot since 2020 and I felt our characters needed a face lift! Here is the new one vs the original designs from 2020. My art has changed so much and our characters for sure have too!

More creature dishes! I love doing these Delicious in Dungeon inspired pieces. Today I painted a Kirin dish inspired by the Maltan horse/beef meal, laħam taż-żiemel! #deliciousindungeon #dungeonmeshi #deliciousindungeonfanart #foodpainting

This month’s Patreon mail club has a bunch of creatures! I am working on a pack of sprites for Roll20 of my monsters and I thought they would be perfect for a little sticker sheet! ✨ www.patreon.com/kmccaigue ✨ #monster #drawing #artist #creaturedesign

✨ 2012 vs 2024 ✨ With the new year approaching, it’s time for my yearly old art redraw! So today I went through and threw a huge character sheet, which I haven’t done since 2012! I took inspiration from my old Kaida character sheet and drew a bunch of my Fox Among Hounds comic character, Zahra! ❤️

The beefiest video I have ever made just dropped. I summed up everything I have learned from pitching, asking industry professionals, and my personal experiences trying to break into comics. Hope this helps give some insight for those on a similar journey ❤️ youtu.be/x4vBcrKNLXU #comics #indiecomics

Artist vs art for 2024! I drew a lot this year and it’s so fun getting to sort through everything I made :) I think my favorite project this year was Smaugust! It was a lot of work but I was so happy with all of my dragons for the challenge! #artistvsart #artist #illustrator

I got to participate in a huge fun artist secret Santa on YouTube! Me and 17 other artists did a huge exchange of drawing art for another creator and receiving a custom pieces from another! Here is my gift for @adamsketches.bsky.social and @stephasocks.bsky.social from Doodle Date! #digitalart

This weekend is my Extra Life 12 hour stream! Here is the official schedule and some sneak peeks into the incentives! Hope to see you all there! #extralife #extralife4kids #charity www.extra-life.org/participant/...

So I have had a goal since starting art full-time to try to improve my skills every month. This last month, I decided to try to learn how to render food! I had to do some cuisine from my comic fox among hounds! #food #foodpainting #digitalart #digitalartist #foxamonghounds

Been trying to get better at my rendering so I started with improving food drawings. These have been pretty difficult but extremely rewarding! I’ll post this full page of food as soon as I finish it :)

Got some more emoji creatures for you today! Picked a few from YouTube comments and these are a Peppercorn 🦄 🌶️ 🔥 and a Shaved Ice Whale 🐋 🌺🍧 ! #digitalart #drawing #emojichallenge #monster #monsterart

You all liked the last emoji creature creation so much that I had to do another one asap! Today I created a super cool yokai horse spirit and a sick alien design! #digitalart #monster #emojichallenge #art #artist #creaturedesign

I worked on some new outfits for my original comic’s lead Aina! I wanted to give her look a full facelift so we went from the original left design to the second from the left redesign. And then I also explored some two seasonal outfits as well. #foxamonghounds #indiecomics #drawing
