Ben Erdt

Senior Character Artist, Guerrilla Games

Ben Erdt is a Character / Creature Designer and Modeler, currently working at Guerrilla Games as a Senior Character Artist. Over the past ten years, his initial interests in creating CG characters as a hobby turned into a serious and passionate endeavor. Ben is comfortable with many styles, loves collaborative projects and enjoys drawing, sculpting, modeling, texturing as well as rendering. After graduating from Vancouver Film School, he started at Guerrilla Games working on Killzone: Shadow Fall as well as Horizon Zero Dawn. His work has been featured on various websites and magazines such as 3D Artist, 3D Creative and 3D World and he continuously tries to improve his skills through constant study and practice.

  • Ben Erdt isn't interested in anything but the most complex, ambitious and indeed impossible tasks. He is an extremely rare, unfiltered artist driven by an absolute passion and uncompromising desire to create art that is both aesthetically beautiful, totally unique and above all; technically believable, if not downright functional. In an industry that is becoming evermore segregated and pigeonholed, Ben stands out in his ability to amalgamate design, modelling and finishing as a consummate perfectionist who toils over what we see on screen, as much as the myriad of pipeline intricacies that so help the many disciplinary teams down the long river of VFX artistry.
