⊹ Please read this specific section carefully before placing your order ⊹

  • This campaign lasts from the 30th January to the 16th February 2026 and its funds will be used to finance the first edition of my debut artbook “Tiny Spirits”.

  • This is a pre-order campaign. Meaning, that it might take 1-2 months between placing your order and then having the artbook shipped. A schedule of the campaign is found at the bottom of this page.

  • The Artbook uses different base shipping fees than the rest of my shop does. Please avoid mixing items from this campaign with other listings from my regular shop. There are three listings belonging to this campaign which are linked on this page. Only 1 book per order is possible.

  • Please contact us FIRST if you are from the US and would like a physical copy, as the uncertain tariff situation remains. Shipping should be possible, though we may need to request you to pay an extra charge for customs fees.

 
 
 
 
 

Hi, I’m Catarina, better known by my artist name “Leffie” on social media. I am an artist from Leipzig with German and Portuguese roots. You’ll often see me at conventions with my twin sister RaidesArt, who also wrote the foreword for this book! (Fun fact: We also have a big sister :) )

This project has been months in the making, with the first ideas popping into my mind at the end of 2024 and a prototype I printed for Leipzig Book Fair 2025. Now, after going over it again and again, my book is ready for the final print!

“Tiny Spirits” invites you to the realm of my imagination. I create whimsical illustrations which are featured in here, but I very much also enjoy telling stories through animations and comics! The possibilities of drawing anything you can image are so endless that I find it hard to stick to just one theme or style. I hope you’ll have as much fun browsing the book as I had creating it ♥

 
 
 
 

The book features written insights within gallery pages and is divided into 6 Chapters:

Chapter 1. Introduction
about Leffie and her art journey

Chapter 2. How I use ArtRage
art-progress and tutorial

Chapter 3. Baby Dragons

Chapter 4. Once upon Time

Chapter 5. The Golden Broom

Chapter 6. Light Warden

If we reach 100 backers by the end of the campaign (16th February 2026), every order of the physical copy will receive a free mystery foil print! The print size and contents will be decided at a later time. E-book backers will recieve the drawing as a JPG file.

 
 

Please note that this progress bar is not automated. Throughout the campaign, I will update it as often as possible!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Instead of reverting to crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter, I decided to host this campaign on my own website. Artbooks that are funded through external hosts like Kickstarter usually have a wider reach through search-functions and algorithms.

With that being said, I would highly appreciate if you spread the word of this campaign around! ♥


I decided to not go forth with an external crowdfunding host because:

⊹ The book will be produced for certain ⊹
There is no funding-goal required

⊹ More payment methods available ⊹
Credit cards & PayPal are possible

⊹ No additonal host-fees ⊹
A larger percentage of the profit goes directly towards the campaign
