I am a Bafta award winning artist from Edinburgh, Scotland. Over the course of my 12 year career I have worked as an illustrator and concept artist for clients including Wizards of the Coast (Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons), Valve and Games Workshop, and as Art Director at Axis Animation creating AAA cinematics for studios like Bungie, Blizzard Entertainment, Riot Games, Skybound and ArenaNet. I recently started my own studio, Grimoire, to develop my first game; a TTRPG called Pale Tides.I am lucky enough to have had my work featured in Spectrum Fantastic Art and a bunch of other great publications, and I was honoured to be featured in Develop's esteemed '30 Under 30' spotlight. I illustrated a Dark Souls book one time, and sometimes give talks/workshops at events including Industry Workshops, IFCC, THU Berlin and IAMAG.I am super passionate about my work and always happy to chat - please feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or would like to work with me. Thanks!”Personal site - http://paulscottcanavan.com/Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/paulcanavanArtStation - https://www.artstation.com/paulscottcanavanWebstore - https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/abigbatTwitter - https://twitter.com/abigbatInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/abigbat
