About me
Coming from ´2D still imagery´ background (specialized in Photoshop image postproduction .. & design, illustration, digital painting / concept art / photography / photo retouching & restoration, etc.) ..
Recently - I´ve finally ´transitioned´ to motion ..
And never looked back.
Now, all my previous (Photoshop & beyond) skills pretty nicely translate to motion .. in many its forms ..
(motion design / design for motion & film / animation / vfx / matte-painting / 25D projections, some 3D / AR / .. )
Love all of them :)
Working REMOTELY..
As I live pretty far from where ´it all happens´ (and from where all those great studios & work opportunities are located) - I work remotely, from my home studio.
I am also happy to work in-house, if there´s such a chance or if it helps the project (previous ´in-house´ experience working both for studios/agencies, medical institutions, technological companies /Zebra Technologies Brno/, VFX/postproduction house & film studio /UPP Prague/, etc.).
At the moment though, I live in Brno
& work remotely from home.
(GMT+2 timezone)
about my English
As a self-taught (in non-English environment) English speaker - my limited English is far from being perfect.
But - having used it pretty often, recently, while working for international companies, etc. - we never really had any major communication problems (just some more clarifications necessary, from time to time, to be sure we are all on the same page .. )
About client work
I have/had been working with/for many different clients - studios / VFX & postproduction house (UPP Prague) / technological companies / knowledge-center & e-learning dept. (Zebra Technologies Brno) / companies /agencies (NOTINO, Brno), publishing houses / photography schools / magazines / medical institutions & publishers / game developers / e-learning developers .. (or direct clients - photographers, Photoshop students, etc) ..
Due to NDA, though (or a private nature of data - medical patients data, etc.) - I can´t include those projects in my portfolio. That´s why mainly personal projects can be found in my portfolio(s) / website, atm.

All / most of images / illustrations / visuals / etc. on this site (unless stated otherwise) are created by me / © alena hovorkova. Pls do not reproduce (or otherwise use) any content, without permission/licencing.
For full info & credits (if applicable) - pls view the original post(s) / referenced links .. on Vimeo, Behance, etc..
(Due to limited functionality of the website template I am using - only previews / external /embedded links - via their respective platforms /Vimeo, Behance, etc., are possible here, for some type of content).
More info / credits (if applicable) are always included with the original project, either on Behance or Vimeo.
About my social media presence ..
Over the years, as I was doing (or learning) various things, I was also - in different time spans - active in many art/photo communities, forums or social media platforms .. and also built (quite a few) different on-line portfolios, each one with a bit different content, for a different audience ..
For some time it worked fine, since all those activities of mine were pretty separated, independent on each other - but - recently - as technologies/workflows slowly started to blend together, kind of .. it turned out this randomly ´scattered´ on-line presence of mine (CG society, ArtStation, ZBrush Central, ConceptArt, Dribbble, Thumblr, 500px, Linked-In, Etsy, Youtube, Vimeo, several different Behance portfolios, 4 separated IG accounts etc.) .. started to become a bit confusing, for those who wanted to follow me ..
So - to make things (a bit) more simple -
(regardless of other places that still showcase my old work), nowadays I am actively using just few of them:
Behance 1 (alenahovorkova) >>
(= main on-line HUB / ´documentary archive´ of mine, showcasing all important creative projects, as I go - or learn new things - incl. more detailed info, credits, case studies etc.),
Behance 2 (alenahovorkovaPhoto) >>
(=second Be portfolio of mine - photo-related only,
not very active)
Actually, I have one more Behance portfolio ..
A completely different area/activities of mine.Ceramics & bookbinding. Just wanted to keep these things separated.
Behance 3 (Inspirae) >>
Vimeo >> (my video platform of choice. atm).
Linked-In (just as a passive /professional summary, not being active in there).
ArtStation portfolio of mine is actually the oldest one / just an archive work, actually, not active any more, atm - only showcasing my old ´concept art´ work / my attempts while learning ZBrush etc. - back in 2006.
Maybe I´ll get back to concept art (etc.), some day, again.
Facebook & Twitter .. random use only / basically just have these to be able to access / follow others / join professional groups, etc.
Instagram (4) accounts .. (each one for a bit different type of posts/audience).
For all these a.m. social media /summary
see links/icons at the top of this page.
.. when I am not at the computer >>
Just in case.
Some other activities of mine ..
As I am not at the computer all the time .. :)
