Board game visuals where everything clicks together.

Working with Jindrich was always very professional. He met deadlines 100%, and he handled any extra work that arose during the project readily and with his characteristic care.

We worked together on Dino Toys' biggest gaming project in 2024, a reedition of Vladimír Suchý's historical board game League of Six, which Jindrich Pavlasek illustrated in its entirety and contributed to the final graphic design.
Jindrich Pavlasek's work is visually stunning, while also drawing on historical facts and drawings from that period. The illustrations reveal the author's careful preparation, study of historical sources, and attention to detail.

Working with Jindřich is a real treat. He’s deeply involved in every aspect of a project and always brings a fresh and unique perspective. It’s rare to find someone who combines expertise in development and design with a strong sense for user interfaces and illustration. I’m always looking forward to the next opportunity to collaborate with him again.
