About Ralph Bosman

3D artist, generalist, and storyteller for games and animation.

I specialize in character creation for games and animation while continuing to grow as both an animator and game artist. I enjoy building characters, props, worlds, and the stories that connect them.

Portrait of Ralph Bosman

Introduction

I would like to secure a challenging position in a strong creative environment where I can express my passion for art, games, and animation while pushing myself and contributing to memorable projects with a team.

All of my drawings and designs are original. I like creating characters and building the stories around them, including weapons, clothing, equipment, props, and the larger world that gives those designs meaning.

I love fantasy, mythology, films, series, and story-rich games. In my free time I research subjects like Norse, Celtic, Egyptian, and Shinto mythology, and those influences often find their way into my work. I value experimentation, curiosity, and staying open to new ideas while creating art.
