About

Hi, I’m Amin Hesaraki, a passionate 2D animator and rigger based in Istanbul with over eight years of professional experience in animation, motion graphics, and game art. I specialize in Spine and Unity animation for slot and iGaming projects, with a strong focus on rigging, FX, and efficient 2D pipelines.

I’ve collaborated with international studios like The Soul Publishing, Bored Panda International, and ExaGaming, delivering high-quality animations on tight deadlines. In addition to production work, I’ve led teams and directed projects—most notably delivering 56x7min Babaei episodes—while mentoring junior animators and ensuring on-time delivery.

⭐ Project Description (2D Frame-by-Frame Animation) This project is a hand-drawn, frame-by-frame 2D animation created to capture expressive motion, natural timing, and a traditional animated look. Every movement was drawn manually to achieve smooth transitions, character personality, and organic motion that can’t be replicated with automated tools. The work included: • Rough animation & key poses • In-betweens for smooth motion • Clean-up lines and refined drawings • Coloring & shading (if applicable) • Final compositing and export This animation was produced with a focus on strong acting, fluid motion, appealing character design, and a classic animated feel. Frame-by-frame workflow allows for more emotional, lively, and stylized performances. 2danimation framebyframe handdrawn traditionalanimation characteranimation motiondesign

I created a complete Spine 2D animation project including character rigging, skin setup, and polished animation loops. The work involved building a clean, flexible rig with proper bone hierarchy, constraints, IK systems, mesh deformation, and smooth transitions for game-ready export. Animations include: • Idle, walk, run, jump, attack • Facial expressions • FX and secondary motion • Polished timing and anticipation for a natural feel The final export is optimized for Unity and other game engines, with organized bones, labeled animation states, and clean JSON/atlas output. spine2d gamerigging 2danimation unityanimation cutoutanimation characteranimation
