Welcome! My name is Ethan Bloom and I am a digital media student at Francis Tuttle on the Danforth campus learning about graphic design.<\/p>

I have an uncanny knack for drawing things from pure imagination, with little to no references. Well, I say no references, but most of my work has been inspired from other artists and different forms of media, like movies and video games to name a few. I’m able to look back at past drawings and improve myself as well, which is why my art style can change over time.<\/p>

I specialize in character and creature design, you can check out a few examples I posted down below!<\/p>

I would love to go into 2D animation after my course in the essentials of digital media. Whenever I do, I’ll post the finished videos and the details about them in the future on a separate page.<\/p>

Until then, please look at what I have to offer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

I love drawing fantasy creatures and I feel like I’m pretty good at it. This “Fallen Beast” is the line art creature concept of an enemy the protagonists in my story, Fallen Fates (subject to change)<\/span>, might face. This was an attempt to recreate the same design from my traditional sketch book on a digital tablet, while also drawing it from a different angle. Drawn in Photoshop.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This is the traditional form of the “Fallen Beast”, which I drew before the digital one. As you can see, it has some visual differences. That’s because I drew the digital version from memory roughly a month after I created the traditional version in my sketch book.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Above is a small scenario concept of a character in my story Fallen Fates (subject to change).\u00a0Drawn in Photoshop.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Below is group concept of the cryptic creature: the jackalope. I was experimenting with different poses I could draw the creatures in and how I would need to angle the antlers a specific way to make them look natural.\u00a0Traditional sketch.<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
