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!

Trying to catch up with a few artworks that were released while I'm away. I've done quite a bit for them but here are three that I'm very happy with.
Huge thank you to @paizo.com for the chance to paint snapshots of your world, both for Pathfinder and Starfinder!

It's my birthday! As a gift, can I ask you to share my art?🙏

I love drawing vibrant fantasy illustrations, especially in the field of TTRPGs. And speaking of TTRPGs, check out the post below for more fantasy goodness ⬇️✨

Illustration of Mollymauk Tealeaf from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein. Molly is sitting and smiling at some shiny moths that are playfully surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame.

Illustration of Caduceus Clasy from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein.
Caduceus is sitting with a serene expression, playing with some golden butterflies surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame.

Illustration of a blue-skinned character with asymmetrical horns, reminiscent of a half moon. The character is casting a pearlescent, bright spell. They're in a room at night, standing on a decorated pedestal on the floor, in front of shelves full of books.

Illustration of a knight and a pegasus, behind them a blue sky with golden sunset clouds.
The knight is wearing shining, ceremonial armour in silver, blue and gold. In one hand he holds his helmet, the other hand is stroking the nose of the pegasus. The knight’s head rests delicately on the horse’s, in a gesture of delicate friendship. The pegasus is raising one of his wings to hug the knight in return of the gesture.

Aah, perfekt - dann sehen wir uns ja vielleicht dieses Jahr wieder da?

Elif Siebenpfeiffer @elif7.bsky.social · 12d

Ach wie cool, freue mich, dass es dir gefällt! Band 2 würde ich dazwischen auch empfehlen, damit die ganze Geschichte zusammen kommt :)

Thank you Robin!! I really hope we'll get an English translation some day so more people can actually read them 🔥

Elif Siebenpfeiffer @elif7.bsky.social · 12d

Happy book birthday to us!! 🥳 Today is release day for "Aufstand der Fabelwesen", the third and last book of our German series about saving mythical creatures in 19th century Europe. Along with it, we also got to do a notebook, coloring book and a card deck of 50 creatures 👀

Since there are many spiders in Through the Omenpaths, I thought it would make sense to post my Twin-Silk Spider for good company.

It's an old card (2019) and not a very strong one. But painting it was fun.

I just now realized I read your comment too literal lol. It's a fitting name!

Yep, essentially the same. Actually, leftover salsa could be the start to the wrap situation, don't fall into that trap.

Elif Siebenpfeiffer @elif7.bsky.social · 15d

Help I'm trapped in a wrap cycle, I ate wraps for two days then I ran out of one ingredient and re-bought it because I still need to use up all the other wrap stuff and then I ran out of another ingredient and you get the idea

Thank you so much! ♥️ Me too, just need to find the time and energy haha 😄

Elif Siebenpfeiffer @elif7.bsky.social · 23d

Might as well post these properly - WIPs of personal pieces I'll hopefully finish sooner rather than later 🙃

Elif Siebenpfeiffer @elif7.bsky.social · 23d

My horrible current pile of shame (I'll get to you guys, I promise 🥹) - really looking forward to finishing them all!

Four WIPs/Sketches of different illustrations I'm working on
