Carys Bowen Artwork

I am a nerdy Scottish goth making a career out of my passions!

I am a concept artist, character and creature designer, illustrator, and storyboard artist.

As an artist my passion is creating characters and artwork with attention given to the finer details in order to best express their personality.

I love creating art that ranges from cute to creepy, monstrous to beautiful, and often bridges the realms between the two.
