If you’ve ever taken part in creative contests – or even just followed them out of curiosity and browsed through the submitted works – there’s a very good chance you’ve come across creations by Nelasz. And if you have, chances are they stuck in your memory. Her works are known for their charming details, creative execution, and, quite often… top podium placements! Over the years, Nelasz has been a familiar face in contests organized by various fansites, and her entries never fail to catch the eye or surprise viewers with clever, original ideas.
Throughout the years, Leonela has shown a particular love for holiday-themed creations. Since 2017, we’ve managed to gather a pretty impressive collection of her Christmas-related works – from drawings to beautifully crafted holiday cards.
Valentine’s Day is another occasion she never skips when it comes to creating something adorable. Below, you’ll find a few of her entries prepared for romantic-themed contests. Come on… you have to admit – they’re seriously cute! 💕
“Your task is to prepare a poster”, they said. Nelasz took that instruction… and turned it upside down. Instead of a boring rectangular board with a slogan slapped on it, she delivered something that barely looked like a classic poster at all – and that’s exactly why it worked. Her entry instantly grabbed attention with its unusual shape, clever concept, bold colors, subtle lighting, and a cast of charming characters that made you stop and look twice. It proved that a poster doesn’t have to follow the rules to do its job – it just has to be memorable.

But drawings and collages are far from being Nelasz’s only strong suit. She also creates fantastic handmade figurines using modeling clay or hand-painted clay, recreating well-known characters from Tibia itself as well as from the fansite community.
Back in 2020, for a contest organized by NabBot.xyz, Nelasz crafted an adorable figurine of their fansite item – the Mini NabBot. Just take a look at the level of detail! Every tiny screw, element, and finish was made by hand, showing an insane amount of patience and craftsmanship.

Another great example is the Black Knight Doll, created for the “Craft a Fansite Item” contest held during Fansite Appreciation Day 2021. This piece perfectly shows how much love she puts into her work – from the recognizable armor shape to the careful painting and texture work. It’s the kind of creation that feels like it could step straight out of the game and onto your desk. A true tribute to Tibia’s iconic monsters, brought to life in the most wholesome, handmade way possible.
Of course, Nelasz has been taking part in fansite contests for many years now, so the works you’ve seen above are only a small fraction of everything she has created over time. Below, we’re showcasing a few more of her contest entries – pieces that impressed not only fellow participants, but also the judges themselves with their creativity and attention to detail.
