Aritz Basauri

Sr. Creature Artist at Fablefx

Aritz Basauri is a 3D Character and Creature Artist with over eight years of experience in the entertainment industry. A Fine Arts graduate with a deep passion for nature, he combines traditional skills in photography, illustration, and painting with digital artistry to create lifelike and imaginative characters.


Aritz is currently working at Fablefx, where his love of art and the natural world informs his work, striking a balance between technical precision and organic creativity. Throughout his career, he has contributed to diverse projects across film, games, and animation, collaborating with talented teams and studios to bring characters and creatures to life. Outside of work, he enjoys hiking with his two dogs, using time in nature to refresh his creativity and perspective.

  • Through my years working as a Creature Specialist, I've had the chance to witness Aritz's growth and influence in the CG creature world. Aritz is a truly inspiring artist whom I count as one of the top ten animal experts out there. His sense of anatomy is impeccable, as well as his design taste and dedication to his craft! He is one of the artists who will never cease to inspire me.

  • Aritz is one of the finest creature artists I’ve had the pleasure of working with. His deep knowledge and passion for the craft are evident in every asset he creates. From concept and modelling to groom, texturing, and look development, he consistently delivers work of the highest quality. His process for creating photorealistic animals is both inspiring and educational, and there is so much to learn from his thoughtful, detail-driven approach.
