Based on an original concept
by Meijun Chen, this stylised
version of Tracer from the
popular first-person shooter
Overwatch was created by
full-time student Rico, with 60
hours spent on modelling and
10 hours spent on texturing. “I
love the original concept a lot, it
always makes me laugh and feel
happy every time I work on it.
“For modelling, I first start
sculpting with primitives, and

keep the silhouette recognisable
from the beginning to the end,”
explains Rico. “I also add poly
paint from the very beginning.
“Later when I get into the
details, I use a brush which
people usually utilise for the
hard-surface modelling, because
we need the confirmative shape
on stylised character modelling.
For the armour, bevelling all
the borders makes the hard-
surface armour look cartoony,

and adding a pad layer between
armour and body makes the
armour more convincible.”
The image was rendered
in Marmoset. “Rendering
in Marmoset is very fun.
Everything is in real-time, with
the ability to make decisions
very fast. I can’t live without
Marmoset, I use it all the time
to bake normal maps.”
