Leena Lecklin

I’m Leena, Story Artist from Finland. In the most recent years I’ve been working as a Storyboard Artist & Story Supervisor in Gigglebug Entertainment, in various projects for Disney, Nickelodeon, and Warner Brothers. Currently I’m working in development, creating early story concepts for upcoming series pitches, as well as working on our own feature film project on the side with my project partner. 

In my spare time I love playing DnD and draw the characters and scenarios happening in the games I play. That’s mostly what you will find in this blog, as most of my professional work is strictly behind NDA.

I also have a scifi story project called "The Timtale", which you can find in this blog. It has been on hiatus for many many years, but is still very dear to me. I do return to it every now and then, so maybe in 20 years it will actually become something or other, who knows. 

I tend to disappear for half a year, then crawl out of my cave to rapid speed post my stuff for some time before I disappear again. So if you don’t hear from me, rest assured I’m just hibernating and will be back sooner or later.

Pidlwick 1-2-3 🎭✨

(possible mild Curse of Strahd spoilers below)

I've had the idea of this image for some time in my head, ever since we found out that my puppet druid Amento is the second artificial version of the jester in the original Ravenloft court. He's been having a tough time trying to live up to his past lives, and the fact that h̸̳̜͛î̵̙̦́s̴̝̳̆̏ o̴̧̯͗̓ň̴̞l̴̙̥̓y̸̹̒̒ p̷̟̱̼̱͉̋̓̓͒̽u̷͎̎̏͑͆̀ř̴̺p̶̺̦̑̈̕o̸̘̿̃̈́͑s̵̹̥͕͕̊̃͊ȩ̵̢̻͍̥͒̂̄ is̶̢͈̱̟̾̿͝ to̶̠͋ k̵̞̥̥̀̍̕e̴͔̩͗̈͠e̴̠̬͍̜̊͊̽́̊p̵̧̛̀̽ Ir̸̟̖̳̗̦͌͒͠ȅ̴̥͂e̴͍̽̿̓͐n̶̡̧̛̹̞̤͂͠a̶̧͔̪̻̮͒̈́̈́̎͑ h̶̬̼͈͉̄̒͐̀a̴̛̝̳͔͌p̴̪͒͌p̸̛͇͕̽͗̽ỷ̸̢̖̚ is not helping. He has met both of his past versions, and both of them feel very uncanny to him, like that strange repulsion you get when hearing your own voice played back to you. 🌚

Main Cast of our Curse of Strahd Campaing - or at least most of it

I've been having a little project for my own enjoyment and drew a lineup of our CoS main characters - mostly our PC's and couple NPC's. Amento is my reborn puppet druid, while the others in the party are Matra human paladin, Tera half-elf rogue, and Varis elf bladesinger wizard.

Bon Voyage @territorial-utopia 🌟 May you have a great time on your travels!

Amento was cool for 1.5 seconds in the fight, then he got bonked in the head and decided to flee. ❤️‍🩹🌱 Kazan the Blood Spear was not amused about this cowardice (and the fact that it seems like all our enemies has no blood for it).

Amento in many forms 🌱✨

Pidlwick II and III 🎭

(👇 Possible Curse of Strahd spoilers below 👇)

Amento has been having a stressful journey figuring out his past as Pidlwick III. In the castle he met his first failed version Pidlwick II, which definitely creeped him out.

Now he lives in denial saying that they look nothing alike (they do).

I wasn't too keen on the official design of Pidlwick II, so I just drew how I imagined him instead. Also our DM added in the story that he has a second face in the back of his head, and the head rotates 180 degrees between happy and sad expression when needed. It's so creepy I love it.

Amento is my reborn druid in Curse of Strahd campaign. I had no idea what the story was when I was designing him and decided he would be a puppet. It fits so well with the story it's almost uncanny.

Breathing is something you don’t think about until you can’t do it anymore.💀

Story of Frill being brought back is something that has been hiding in my folders for several years unfinished. I’m still not quite happy with it, but I guess it’s time to accept it and move on to something else. 

Amento is slowly getting his memories back, but at what cost? 💔

First Ireena just straight up told him that Jester outfit would look good on him (mmm...RUDE?!), then he dreamed about it the next night. Also he most likely met himself in the memories of the past and it really freaked him out. I imagine it being like hearing your own voice recorded and played back - you know it has to be you, but somehow it feels completely off. 

Our DM made Amento with an AI, so I had to draw a fan art of them both 🤣 It is reassuring to know that my characters are too hard for the bot to draw correctly. AI Amento is so unsettling. 

Amento naked turnaround 🍑

Amento is my puppet druid who I play in our Curse of Strahd campaign. He can’t remember much about his past, but he has a weird scribble on his back that seems like a clue! No spoilers in the tags please! I don’t know much of it yet! 🙏🏻 We have found out that he probably was a jester in the castle 400 years ago, but how he turned into a puppet, I have no clue.

The wooden boy with the borrowed soul 🌱 Amento is the character I play in our Curse of Strahd campaign. He’s a wooden puppet druid - who apparently wasn’t a puppet at first at all! He is looking for his druid master Vladislava who disappeared one day leaving only her cloak and hat behind. Amento didn’t remember anything about his past at first, and the memories he is now getting back are making him just more confused. 💦

I got a drawing frenzy last weekend and drew Amento in so many outfits! His normal outfit consist of a cloak and a hat that were left behind by his master when she disappeared. Under the cloak he has his own Vistani clothes that he doesn’t remember where he got from. The night gown Amento borrowed once from another player when his own clothes were soaked, and the jester costume I drew because we found out that Amento was a jester in his previous life - it’s also what mini-Amento wears.
