Hi, I'm a story artist from Iceland. I'm a massive animation nerd who obsesses over stories and characters, creating worlds with a sense of fun and soul. I have over 5 years of experience in the animation industry, and bring passion to any project I'm a part of.
I also love wolves, swimming, gaming, Eurovision, and nerding over obscure 90s cartoons, especially with anthro characters.
"I'm happy to recommend Atli Viðar Hafsteinsson for the position of a storyboard artist!
Atli is a highly motivated individual who joined the project as one of the first artists and stayed with us on the long journey to deliver Ormhildur the Brave, TV series by Animation Studio Iceland. Very dedicated to the project, with a strong motivation to develop his skills further, he gained experience with us in his storytelling, sense of framing and composition, creativity with inventing the funny gags. He proved to be a great team player, aware of the needs of the other departments and general animation production pipeline. Atli's positive approach make our collaboration very smooth.
Thank you!"
