“建立Hiccup形象需要做好平衡。既要讓觀眾能喜歡他，又得讓他爸對他失望?！睂а軨.S.解釋道?！白鳛橐粋€青少年，Hiccup想成為一個真正的維京人，但是他逐漸意識到，他的智商和體能狀態(tài)注定了他不是這塊料。因此，他感覺他還沒得到他的父親的認可與尊重?！睂а軩.D.補充道。

Hiccup在這部作品被設計得更為成熟，不論是身體還是心靈上。在早期設計里，他被設計得年輕得多，大概六七歲的樣子，更與原作中的角色一致。他的最終的模型和長相并不像電影里其他年輕角色那樣用相同的風格，這也是為了構建觀眾與他的聯系的一種方式。

尤為重要的一點是，要把Hiccup設計成一個不會在我們的現代社會里脫穎而出的普通孩子。他是一個聰明，有魅力，性格溫和的人。但是放在都是反常角色的維京世界里，他就格格不入了，觀眾看到這種尷尬場景也能共情。角色動畫負責人Simon Otto.解釋道。

對于我們而言，最大的挑戰(zhàn)就是讓克雷西達?考威爾（Cressida Cowell ）所設計的年輕Hicccp逐漸成長為青少年。對于整個故事而言，雷西達?考威爾賦予Hiccup的領導能力和他的個人魅力是十分重要的。

傳統(tǒng)的主角人物形象要么傾向于傲慢自大：“你們都錯了，我才是對的?！?；亦或是缺乏自信：“我真是個廢物…真希望我能和你們一樣?！蔽覀冞x擇按照后一種來；我們想要設計一位能設身處地為他人著想、為人謙遜，并且能接受自身的缺陷、清楚自己的定位的主角形象。

Hiccup以其真實的皮膚特征和風格化的腮紅和雀斑的微妙使用之間的精心平衡為我們提供了一個皮膚質感如何進一步支持風格化現實的外觀的清晰示例。聽到要把每個人都做成皮膚粗糙的臟兮兮的樣子，我們表面處理成員都感到這想法太開放了。?

原文：

'Developing Hiccup was a balancing act . He had to be appealing , but he also had to be enough of an individual to frustrate his father at the same time , ' explains Director Chris Sanders . As a teenager Hiccup still wants to be a true Viking but he has come to realize his intellect and physical stature are not typical Viking material . As such , ' he feels he hasn't gotten his father's approval and respect , ' notes Director Dean DeBlois.

Hiccup grew up a lot over the course of this production , both in social maturity and physical design. In the earliest days of development , his character was much younger , pegged in the range of six or seven years of age and more aligned with the character in the original book . His final build and look is not as stylized as the other young characters
in the film, which was a means to help the audience connect with him.

'It was important to make Hiccup a normal kid who would not stand out in our modern world-he's a smart , charming , and mild-mannered guy . It's when he's placed in the Viking World occupied by outrageous characters that he doesn't quite fit in , and the audience can empathize with this awkwardness , ' explains Head of Character Animation Simon Otto.

Our biggest challenge was taking the young Hiccup that Cressida Cowell had envisioned and turning him into a teenager. That he would maintain the appeal and charm Cowell had given him was important to the story .

——Bonnie Arnold , Producer

This classic archetypal protagonist tends to go either the arrogant way : ' You are all wrong and you 'll see ,' or the self-deprecating one : ' I am lame , I wish I could be like all of you .' We went with the letter ; we wanted a more empathetic charactor , a humble protagonist that learns the value of himself and is accepted for who he is .

——Alessandro Cartoni , Head of Story

HICCUP OFFERS a clear example of how skin textures further support the look of a stylized reality, .featuring a toughtful balance of real skin qualities with subtle stylizations in blush and freckle usage. "it was such a liberating
state of mind for surfacing to be told to make everyone look dirty and gritty, ' says Head of Surfacing Sabrina Riegel.
