Bio
My name is James Hawkins, and I am a visual artist specializing in concept art and illustration for games. I mostly work in the fantasy and science fiction genres; however, I am capable of expanding my skills into other genres and artistic styles as needed. Games have played an incredibly important role in shaping who I am today as well as the hobbies and creative interests I engage in, when not hard at work on various projects, so I would love to be able to contribute to any projects I can!
