My name is Alyssa Leznar. I’m a professional 3D artist based in The Netherlands, Europe. I am primarily known for my fantasy creature art and sculptures. 3D sculpture is my true love and passion and I strive to use my art to tell a story. My work explores blending reality with fantasy and mystical nuances. Each of my creatures have their own unique story and background. Whether I’m creating new creatures or working for my clients, I always strive to create to the best of my ability.
THE FACE BEHIND CREATURE GRAPHICS

MORE ABOUT MY CREATURE SERIES
DRACONEM
My Draconem series started out as a simple idea. Sculpting dragons is my passion and number one favorite thing to make when I work on client projects, so I wanted to pursue creating my very own.
The initial step was drawing out some different wing and body designs on paper. Next, I needed to think carefully about a way to showcase my artwork. It struck me - how cool would it be to mount them in a frame and feature them in my own home? After tweaking the designs to fit within a frame, I commenced sculpting. Countless hours of hard work, perseverance, and overcoming numerous mistakes and setbacks, eventually culminated into the creation of my very own dragon art series. I am super proud of my framed artwork and aspire to share my passion with every dragon and creature lover out there!

''With every stroke of the brush, or sculpted form taking shape, it feels as though I am channeling something magical. It's like breathing life into the creatures that exist only in our dreams, and bringing them into reality through the power of artistic creation.''
-
''Art is not only a means of expression, but also a conduit for my imagination to come alive. It's a remarkable experience that continually fuels my passion for creativity and reminds me of the limitless possibilities.''
-
''In the near future, my aspiration is to share and educate others about every step of my artistic process, with the hope of inspiring a new generation of artists by passing on my knowledge and passion.''
ANOMALY ARTDOLLS
My series of anomaly artdolls revolves around the notion of embracing one's true self and discovering beauty in things that may be deemed unconventional or abnormal. In a world that often demands conformity, it's essential to recognize that being different is not only acceptable, but also a normal aspect of our identity. Rather than constantly focusing on our "imperfections" and "flaws," we should strive to love ourselves unconditionally and take pride in our unique qualities. That is why I take pleasure in crafting creatures who all have little quirks and peculiarities, making each of them unique in their own way.
