Senior Animator at Id Software
Dorian is a Senior Animator at Id Software, bringing nearly 14 years of experience to the table. Before making the transition to the gaming industry, he contributed to several major films and animated features, including Green Lantern (2011), Ice Age Christmas (2011), Ice Age 4: Continental Drift (2012), Free Birds (2013), The Book of Life (2014), Rock Dog (2016), and Ugly Dolls (2016). In 2019, he shifted his focus to video games, where he has worked on AAA titles such as DOOM Eternal (2020) and the upcoming DOOM: The Dark Ages (2025), as well as the mobile game Mighty DOOM (2023).
Dorian’s expertise spans both realistic and cartoonish animation styles, equipping him with a diverse skill set and a deep understanding of timing, posing, body mechanics, and acting. His knowledge of body mechanics is particularly crucial for the combat mechanics in DOOM: The Dark Ages. He has adeptly adjusted to the more technical workflows of gaming, contrasting with the more passive nature of film, and has gained significant insights into character performance in games, enhancing the interactive experience for players.
Outside of his professional pursuits, Dorian actively engages in recreational activities, including sports like handball and racquetball, as well as weight training and cardio. He strives to maintain a balanced life beyond animation while continually drawing inspiration from films, comics, and various other video games.
