Damian Buzugbe is a British, Principal Conceptual Artist that lives in Brighton, United Kingdom (England). He is well known as a Senior Artist for the Fable series and is often credited as being the one responsible for the look and feel of characters in the original game, most notably the Hero of Oakvale, Thunder, The Bard and Twinblade.
