Xochi from the animated series Maya and the Three. I was responsible for the characer surfacing as well as the groom for the poncho and headband. Hair groom by Rozemarijn Spanjaard.

Xochi was surfaced very early in production during which Shane Jackson (Surfacing Supervisor), Nick Sinclair (Lead Character Surfacing Artist) and myself (Senior Character Surfacing Artist) were solidifying the workflows. I was asked to use Xochi as a means to demonstrate worflow/style for character skin, fabric and fabric "fuzz" going forward. I used Xochi's Blender and Painter files to help train new artists in the art style and provide a tutorial on skin painting.

I have to give credit where due; much of my approach to skin in Substance Painter was informed by and adapted from walkthroughs by the amazingly talented Magdalena Dadela. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. <3
