Grant Steyn

Senior Character Artist at Chocolate Tribe

Grant’s love for animals and all things related to creatures got him into this line of work. He gets to create the core performers that we see brought to life through movie magic. Grant specializes in digital sculpting in Zbrush, it's something he never gets tired of.

Grant’s childhood was filled with being around wildlife, and watching National Geographic to learn more about them. That road led him here and it's been his privilege to use that knowledge and fulfill his artistic passions too. These days Grant spends his time developing a digital menagerie and learning every day about just how truly special life is around us.

For a decade Grant has been fortunate to have worked with Disney, Netflix, Showmax and Lionsgate.

Currently Grant works at Chocolate Tribe as the Senior Creature Artist.
