Hello guys, my name is Marcos Nicacio and I'm here to show you the process I used to create my recent work: The Princess.
This project was requested by Nitroglicerina studio, and they provided to me a sketch (Fig.01). I was then free to create my vision of a classic princess in a white and gold detailed dress. |
I started modeling the head using the poly-by-poly technique and always following the original concept. Her main characteristics were the facial expression and fleshy lips, and I wanted to make these elements very clear.
Once I was happy with the head, I moved onto modeling in the hair. In beginning it was a challenge because the hair is a weird shape with curly parts. I took the polygons from the top of her head and detached them to make a new mesh and give the right shape to the middle part. After that I created splines for the curly parts and extruded the front polygons with the Extrude Along Spline tool using the splines as references (Fig.02). |

Before starting to design any character you must know the characteristics of that character. What is the character’s
age? What background are they coming from? What is their objective? So before I started to design my character I defined some of these characteristics, I decided I wanted my character to be totally childlike.

Whenever I try to make a new character, I always try to give that character a particular personality which is
different from all my other characters. For “S-Force”, I decided I wanted to make a female character that was
not only sexy, but also kind of powerful.
