Kevin Rucker

Kevin has been working as a professional animator for 20 years and has taught with iAnimate since 2012. He is currently a Principal Animator on a new title at Blizzard Entertainment. Before joining Blizzard (again) he worked for Riot Games, Insomniac Games, and Ready At Dawn to name a few. Previous game titles include God of War: Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta, and The Order: 1886, and Spider-Man 2. While at Blizzard, previously, he worked on the World of Warcraft expansions Warlords of Draenor, Legion, Battle for Azeroth, and Shadowlands. His feature experience includes Blue Sky Studios on the film Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Kevin loves animation and enjoys learning from the old Warner Bros. and Disney 2D masters and tries to incorporate their wisdom into CG animation. He enjoys working with students, helping them with workflow techniques, and training them to utilize and exaggerate reference to create life in characters and avoid just making the rig move around.
