Overwatch Olympics


I'm always excited when the Olympics come along. It's a great chance to watch people from all over the world defy odds, come together and make history. As an added bonus, it's great to study and draw from. Anyhow, I wanted to feature some of my favorite overwatch characters in different Olympic sports. It's been a lot of fun trying to study each of the costumes for the sports and each of the props they use.

Some character/costume exploration for my post-apocalyptic story Skip to My Loo. Designing with the story in mind is one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. I like to set aside a chart of different aspects that make this character who they are to determine what they'd look like, how they'd dress, and of course how important they are to the narrative. (It also helps me to write down what aspects of their character will change so I know what aspects of their visuals may change.)  For Skippy, imagine if Snake Plissken from Escape LA met Michelle Rodriguez.

Throughout the exhibit they demonstrated examples of his fluid line and I was smitten. What we can do with line is remarkable, so I'd like to bring that to my work as well.

In the post-apocalyptic world I'm designing for "Skip to my Loo" those that live within boundaries live in an anarchist society. Everything from antique stores and military surplus stores to expensive brand stores have been abandoned and thus are free for pillaging. During gameplay, this is an element that will distinguish what type of allegiances and priorities npc's, enemies, and more will have.  Those with the protection of larger groups are more likely to prefer image and fashion overdressing for survival etc. The player character gets to wear anything they find. Will you go for protection, or will you go for showmanship?
