Available to hire
Hi, I’m Steven Avalos, a CG animation professional with a decade of experience delivering character animation for television and film. I’ve worked as Senior Animator, Lead Animator, and CG Animator at several studios, guiding teams, reviewing shots, and keeping productions on schedule.
I excel at bringing characters to life through expressive acting and solid body mechanics, whether working with bipeds or quadrupeds. I’m proficient in Maya and enjoy collaborating with directors and artists to solve complex action sequences while mentoring teammates and sharing knowledge to raise the whole team’s quality.
