Available to hire
Hi, I’m Ian Dorian, a seasoned artist and storyteller with a passion for visual development and character design. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects, from live-action storyboards to animation and digital painting. I enjoy bringing characters and stories to life through detailed artwork and engaging visual narratives.
With an MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art, I’ve honed my skills in cinematography, storyboarding, and project management, working with companies such as Warner Brothers Animation, Marvel Productions, and DC Comics. Whether designing characters or directing art teams, I bring creativity, organization, and a strong graphic sensibility to every project.
