Ehsan Bigloo

Freelance Concept Artist & Visual IP Developer

Ehsan Bigloo is a Senior Concept Designer specializing in creatures, characters, armor, and costumes for the entertainment industry. His credits include at least 22 movies and 11 TV shows, including Men in Black: International, IT Chapter Two, Love and Monsters, Dark Phoenix, The Prey, Archive 81, Resident Alien, and Morbius. Ehsan was a Lead Creature Designer on The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power and also on the upcoming Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. In addition to film and TV, he has created concept designs for many AAA game companies, including EA BioWare, Wizards of The Coast, Archetype Entertainment, and Riot Games, to name a few. More recently, Ehsan worked at Aaron Sims Creative as a Lead Concept Artist on projects including the “DIVE” and “THE EYE: Calanthek” short films. He is currently working as a freelance Concept Artist and Visual IP Developer.


Ehsan has an extensive traditional art background in figurative drawing, clay sculpting, and oil painting and specialized in surreal figurative art. He has always loved movies and filmmaking and, growing up in the 80s, it was the behind-the-scenes insights into SFX movies like Alien, E.T., Star Wars, The Thing, and The Terminator that inspired him to become a monster maker. 


Ehsan has been nominated as 'Best Creature Designer of the Year' for two consecutive years by the Concept Art Association and is also a member of Local 800 Art Directors Guild (ADG).


  • In the over 30 years of my film effects industry experience, I have seen few new artists as skilled as Ehsan Bigloo. His understanding of traditional art and thorough knowledge of multiple digital applications and techniques have greatly impressed me. He would be a valuable member of any effects company.

  • When attempting to recreate the spirits from A Christmas Carol, I wanted to dive back into the original text in Dickens' novella. Not only did Ehsan share my passion for finding a new direction for the Past, Present, and Future, but he brought a completely fresh vision that brings these characters to life beyond what I thought possible. He possesses a unique talent for understanding what you mean, not what you say, and he takes direction with enthusiasm. Ehsan is an inspiring talent in our industry.
