Bio

Elena “Greenedera” Zambelli

I’m a digital and traditional artist, class 1986, living in Verona, Italy. I work as a graphic designer, but painting is my real love. My work is usually the result of mixed media tecnique, with pencil/ballpen sketch and then digital painting.

  • I began my artistic journey with traditional media (pencils, ballpen, watercolors, acrylics), as a self-taught artist
  • Since 2010 I started experimenting with mixed media and digital painting (photoshop + Wacom tablet)
  • During 2020, the lockdown provided me with a lot of time to dedicate to self-training and experimentation, allowing me to level up my paintings. I published many Dragonlance-themed fanart, and one was shared by fantasy author Margaret Weis, granting me the interest of the Dragonlance fans.
  • Since then I paint for myself, striving to improve always, but I also take commissions for digital fantasy art, working with my clients to create something special.
  • In 2021 began my collaboration with the Dragonlance Nexus for illustrations in their D&D manuals, published on DungeonMasterGuild.com, still going on.
  • I worked with Lawful Stupid RPG, DMofNone, Raogen Games and several others, like podcasts or authors like Richard Knaak.
