Leonidas Papagiagkou
Greek artist currently living in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Freelance Illustrator & Graphic Designer
I'm a Character Designer, Illustrator, and Concept Artist with 5 years of experience in the film industry, currently focused on storytelling through games, animation, and TTRPGs. While my hands-on work in game development is still growing, I’ve developed my own independent projects and bring a solid foundation in visual storytelling, design fundamentals, and production-ready thinking. I care deeply about creating meaningful characters, exploring world-building through design, and collaborating with teams who value clarity, creativity, and narrative impact, always excited to learn, contribute, and keep growing in this field
