Biography edit · view history
Never having been called the "Father of Videogame Animation", Steven Bodnar has created truckloads of Idle/Walk/Run/Attack/Death animations for such developers as Legend Entertainment, Harmonix, Bethesda and Irrational Games (now 2K Boston), and as Outsource Animation Director for Gearbox Software on Aliens: Colonial Marines and Borderlands.
Despite having started all the way back in 1997 (jeez) when he was but a child, because of his love of videogames and lack of any other skills, Steven continues to work remotely out of Chicago with every and all studios with animation needs such as Hardsuit Labs and their upcoming Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines 2. Not only is he busy creating stunning character animations, he is also currently in active development of his very own PC/VR title. Sweet.
