Projects: Cristiana Leone was born in Civitavecchia, a small city near to Rome, in the 80' s. She has been passionate about drawing since she was a child, but her studies in the humanities field before, and then the job, kept her away from her passion for a long time. At 27, she decided to return to devote herself to art and, as a self-taught, she started to study and practice, trying to learn as much as possible. In the following years she began her first collaborations in the artistic field, until in 2012 she finally decided to leave her job as a secretary to devote herself to art full time. At the moment she works as a freelance illustrator for various publishing companies, creating book covers, illustrations for books, board and card games, and character design for TTRPGs. Most recent clients: Ghostfire Gaming, DV Giochi, Mondadori Electa, Ulysses Spiele, Beyond Worls, Black Fox Press, PB Pubblishing, Dark Zone, Lo Scarabeo Tarot, Cubicle7, Gruppo Editoriale Fanucci, 78 TAROT.

This illustration is inspired by Galadriel - surely one of my favourite characters from The Lord Of The Rings. Here, I tried to represent that moment when she is about to give in to the temptation of power.
