Ethan James Chapman | 3D Character Artist
This is my submission for the Rookie Awards 2023. It includes all of my projects that I've been working on for the past academic year. I'm specializing in 3D Character Art for Games!
AVALON - ARTEMIS
This was an Unreal Engine 5 Cinematic completed over the course of 4 months during my second year at the University of Hertfordshire. Of which, I was solely responsible for ARTEMIS the antagonist.
The concept art and character design for ARTEMIS, was created & fully realised by the amazing Jaye Lara Blunden.
I worked on this project with a small but incredibly talented team, and if you want to see a breakdown of the full project, you can find it here!
Alien - Creature Bust
I created this piece as my introduction to Character Art this year. Being able to focus solely on organics was an incredibly freeing process that allowed me to experiment with different classical techniques. It was ultimately this piece that helped me decide that I wanted to specialise in Character Art!
Ecorché - Weekend Study
For this piece, my goal was to venture into learning the fundamentals of human anatomy. I set myself just a weekend to do it, and treated it as an exercise in how quickly I could work from reference. I would highly recommend the 'Anatomy for Sculptors' books to anyone that's interested in enhancing their anatomy knowledge!
I've learnt an incredible amount this year, and I look forward to sharing more of my future work with you :]
