About
I’m Ben Hicks, a creative visual developer and illustrator based in the United Kingdom, with 15+ years of experience turning sketches and briefs into character, environment, and concept-led imagery. My practice spans original hand-drawn illustration, specialist decorative painting, and tattoo design—building compositions that balance artistic identity, anatomy, placement, and storytelling.
I work iteratively from early pencil concepts through artist-directed AI-assisted workflows (with disclosure), helping clients and stakeholders review, refine, and land on clear visual outcomes. I’m also experienced coordinating projects and presentations—so whether I’m developing published cover art or supporting a community-facing proposal, I focus on communication, consistency, and delivering within agreed scope.
