About me

Hi! I'm Armen Pamokdjian, and I currently work as a Senior Facial Shapes Modeler at Netflix Animation Studios in Vancouver. What could be better than bringing characters to life? I'm genuinely passionate about what I do every day and have been for several years now. I've always preferred working in feature animation over VFX, it's simply more fun and fulfilling for me!

Here, you'll find tools and insights to learn the skills I use daily to breathe life into characters. My hope is to help at least a few people better understand character art and take their skills to the next level.

Let’s bring characters to life together!
