It's #PortfolioDay again! Hi, I'm Elif, a fantasy illustrator and art teacher from Germany. I do TTRPG art, book covers as well as interior art and also occasional kidlit illustration. Apparently I like things that glow!

✨My art mentorships continue this year!✨

I had the great pleasure of working with 90 students last year, helping them level up their illustration work. If you want to join, I have a few spaces open for the February class.

Details about the course here:
www.masteringimaginativerealism.com
Art by Morgane Magloire, created during Semester 3. Follow Morgane: https://bsky.app/profile/morganemgl.bsky.social The art depicts a cool femme character with a spear, crouching on a tree in the jungle. A huge striped cat is climbing down beside her. A companion. There are colours, but I don't know what they are because of my eyes. Art by Alexandria Neonakis, created during Semester 4. Follow Alex: https://bsky.app/profile/beavs.bsky.social The artwork depicts a cool cowgirl riding a rattlesnake dragon. They are flying over a heard of cows, ready to... wrangle them? Rope them? Whatever cowfolk do. Art by looceyloo, created during Semester 2. Follow Lucy here: https://bsky.app/profile/looceyloo.bsky.social The art depicts a woman in western clothing (hat, poncho, shirt and gloves etc), kneeling beside her massive jackalope (?) friend. The creature has various packs and a saddle strapped to it. Both are looking off-canvas. Big clouds and mountains in the background. It's gorgeous, god this one is so gorgeous. Art by Jeleynai, created during Semester 5. Follow Jeleynai here: https://bsky.app/profile/jeleynai.bsky.social The art depicts a femme character crouching (always gotta be crouching, holding a spear and attempting to hold back 2 massive dog things. They are cute as hell. The one on the left is poking it's head out of the shadow into the bright light.

Birds are sitting on her head and staff and flying around her, she is surrounded by plants and green.

Welcome back, artists!

Quote Post with an old piece that you still like!

This was my first ever TTRPG cover 11 years ago, done for Ulisses Spiele / The Dark Eye 🥹
A galloping rider in torn clothes with long, black hair on a white horse being chased / attacked by two wolves in a snowy winter landscape

The dangers of magic 💙

(MTG inspired personal piece)
Digital illustration depicting a scene from a classroom of magic users. One student at the centre attempts to control the unwieldy water based magic that rises up out of a book. She has an expression of shock as the magic backfires on her. Behind her is another student and a teacher who gazes on in disappointment.

Finding & working with clients (a thread)

This is a general approach which should be broadly applicable. Although I’ll primarily be using book covers as an example, this approach should work for TTRPGs, TCGs, games, film, etc. to varying degrees depending on the industry and its needs.

Finally catching up on #Andor S2 rn - did a study of Syril back when S1 came out that I never posted here. He's such a tragically horrible person, I love it 🥹 🖤

La Corte della Sfinge

A personal practice piece in-between work projects 🖤
Illustration of a queen sitting on her throne looking amusingly at the viewer. Her two borzois at her sides look up at her lovingly, behind her the tapestry of an half monster half woman can be seen.

Personal piece from 2017 I randomly thought about yesterday

I wanna be heard, but leave no trace
I wanna be seen, but take no space

(In Flames - Wallflower)
Portrait of a dark and long haired woman with piercing blue eyes before a black background she's somewhat blending into. She's holding some strands of her hair in one hand and has the other one raised in an unsure pose.

It's my birthday! I humbly request likes and reposts as a birthday present.
A portrait of a skeleton carrying a hooked polearm. His bones are carved and painted with images of plants and animals. He wears black tattered robes with leather armor woven with straw. He stands against a field of wheat. A swarm of ravens flying at the viewer. A blue-skinned tiefling dressed in an Arlecchino-inspired outfit. She holds a masquerade mask and is balancing a coin on her tail.

Here is a portrait of an OC. I painted it mainly to use it as an avatar. They have a story, but I'm always afraid of cringing people when I tell some strange ideas and describe characters 🥲✨

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

I like to see the arks flying across the sky at dusk; they look like big clouds stretching from one end of the sky to the other.

5 panel comic. Panel 1: the adhd alien figure greets her brain, asking if the brain is ready for some work today. Panel 2: the brain is crying and mumbling. Panel 3: the alien is pleading with the brain that they need to get a lot of things done. Panel 4: the brain is hissing like a cat. Panel 5: the alien simply says „ok then“
