David Paget is a freelance artist who has worked for studios like Atomhawk. He also drew this Daenerys image, which is one of the most breathtaking pieces of fan art I have ever seen.
That’s not where the cool stuff ends, though. Paget is also a lecturer, and as part of a university project designed some Assassin’s Creed characters for a fantasy (NOTE: NOT A REAL UBISOFT PROJECT) game set in Victorian Britain.
This is where I gush about my long-held pitch/dream for a Victorian AC game, one where you play as Jack The Ripper. Only you’re not really a serial killer, you’re an Assassin, and the myth of you being some kind of criminal is a Templar creation to mask your actions (you’re killing Templars, not prostitutes) and make you a target for the local police. Sorry, just wanted to get that on the site in writing.
So, yeah, I like those Victorian pics a lot.

Man your AC idea is awesome. I have always wondered why Britain hasn’t been a target of AC games. The Parisian ACV looks good too
Mass appeal I guess. I for one think that era of British history is boring as batshit. I have friends born in the UK that think the same.
Give me something set in Japan any day! I’d also be keen on a game set in the future.
Just finished Black Flag last night and I’m totally agreeing with you…Asia or Modern day would be epic!
Love the Assassin’s Creed concepts. Ubisoft should take a note or two.
Danny picture reminds me of Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son. Nice work!
Great find. This guy uses light to such great effect.
