Some are armed with chocolate hammers and breadstick axes, others hide inside layers of dough, sauce or cream, while a few just stand there looking confused or amused.</p>\n<p>Based in Taiwan, Pizza Chen is a senior character designer whose work focuses on stylized, story-driven characters for animation and entertainment. Over the years, he has collaborated with studios and brands including Netflix, Nickelodeon, Psyop, Nexus Studios and ANON, bringing that same balance of shape, personality and expressive detail to animated and commercial projects.</p>\n<p>For more of Pizza Chen’s work, visit his <a href=\"https://pizzachen.myportfolio.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">portfolio</a> and follow
