Overwatch was only officially released a day ago, but the internet is already swarmed with character fan art from the game. That’s no surprise, however; Blizzard has done a great job of marketing the game, releasing animated shorts, breathing life into these characters, and giving them vibrant personalities. It’s no wonder that fans would quickly get attached to them and start drawing gorgeous fan art of their favorite Overwatch heroes.
Of course, it was a little harder to find art of some characters than it was for others. Going through the plethora of art available on the internet, you’ll find that it’s a lot more difficult to dig up fan art of Winston than it is for characters like D.Va and Tracer. However, we’ve taken the time to pick out some of the best character fan art you can find around the web right now.
Mercy
Artist: Alex Negrea
“A guardian angel to those who come under her care, Dr. Angela Ziegler is a peerless healer, a brilliant scientist, and a staunch advocate for peace. Though she spends most of her time caring for the broken and dispossessed in crisis areas around the world, Dr. Ziegler can be counted on to don her Valkyrie suit whenever innocents are imperiled.”
McCree
Artist: Alex Chow
“Armed with his Peacekeeper revolver, the outlaw Jesse McCree doles out justice on his own terms. While McCree’s talents are sought after by parties great and small, he fights only for causes he believes are just.”
Hanzo
Artist: Ynorko Chiu
“Mastering his skills as a bowman and an assassin, Hanzo Shimada strives to prove himself as a warrior without peer. Now, Hanzo travels the world, perfecting his skills as a warrior, attempting to restore his honor and put the ghosts of his past to rest.”
Pharah
Artist: Eva Solo
“Fareeha Amari’s commitment to duty runs in her blood. She comes from a long line of highly decorated soldiers and burns with the desire to serve with honor. Under the call sign “Pharah,” she works to safeguard the AI installation. Though she mourns Overwatch’s passing, she still dreams of fighting the good fight and making a difference on a global scale.”
D.Va
Artist: Wenfei Ye
“D.Va is a former professional gamer who now uses her skills to pilot a state-of-the-art mech in defense of her homeland. Seeing her new mission as a game, D.Va fearlessly charges into battle alongside the rest of her MEKA unit, ready to spring to her nation’s defense at a moment’s notice. Recently, she has begun to stream combat operations to her adoring fans, and her growing following has turned her into a global icon.”
Tracer
Artist: istarlove
“The former Overwatch agent known as Tracer is a time-jumping adventurer and an irrepressible force for good. Since Overwatch’s dissolution, Tracer has continued to right wrongs and fight the good fight wherever the opportunity presents itself.”
Soldier 76
Artist: einlee
“Currently the target of an international manhunt, the vigilante known as Soldier: 76 wages a personal war to expose the truth behind Overwatch’s collapse. Unrelenting in his search to find those responsible for Overwatch’s fall, Soldier: 76 will stop at nothing to bring them to justice.”
Reaper
Artist: ArtDoge
“Some speak of a black-robed terrorist known only as the Reaper. His identity and motives are a mystery. What is known is that where he appears, death follows. Those attempting to track his movements have begun to see a pattern in his appearances. They believe that Reaper is hunting former Overwatch agents and systematically eliminating them.”
Widowmaker
Artist: merkymerx
“Widowmaker is the perfect assassin: a patient, ruthlessly efficient killer who shows neither emotion nor remorse. She was given extensive training in the covert arts, and then her physiology was altered, drastically slowing her heart, which turned her skin cold and blue and numbed her ability to experience human emotion.”
