About

Hi! I’m Alena, a freelance illustrator from Prague, Czech Republic, with a soft spot for both darker and silly. ☕️🎨

I love solving creative problems, coming up with ideas and bringing them to life, whether they’re interesting characters, creatures or something else. I work mainly on illustrations for card/board games and book covers, but also do other types of commissions, like TTRPG art, character portraits and such.

Other interests: Books, chess, HS, music, and a lot of coffee.♡

Some of the projects I worked on:
