Hello!
I'm Stef (he/him), a 3D Character Animator from The Netherlands.
I've got 6 years of professional experience working on projects ranging from TV to AAA games, currently working full-time at Steamroller animation. I focus on stylized, hand-keyed performances in Maya.
Feel free to reach out to me at: stefvanessen.animation@gmail.com.
I'm always down to talk animation, or provide some feedback if you need an extra pair of eyes on your shot.
Thanks for checking out my portfolio!

Animation
You can view my animation more in-depth here! I have uploaded a collection of personal acting shots, as well as examples of my work on industry projects including preschool TV, games and some 2D projects.
Sketchbook
Besides animating in 3D, I also love to draw! I have uploaded some personal works as well as some studies I made when I was a student. In turn, I believe they have also significantly improved my animation skills.
In a nutshell
I'm currently focused on creating stylized, hand-keyed character animation in Maya.
Besides that, I'm also comfortable working in Blender, doing mocap clean-up, and I have experience with every step of the 2D pipeline.
I'm currently working full-time at Steamroller Studios and having a great time there.
From time to time I take on some extra work on the side, to challenge myself and contribute to projects that I believe have significant value. So feel free to reach out anyway!
I'm always up for a game of chess! Besides that I sing in a choir, enjoy playing old-school Yu-Gi-Oh, am a big anime fan and most of all love going out for a cup of coffee with my wife.
