Overwatch Study

Ouran · Jun 2019

Hey Polycount! It's been a while since I had anything to show you

Recently, I wanted to level up my stylization game and took to studying the Overwatch art style. My goal was to get as close as possible to what they have in game and present it in Marmoset Toolbag 3. This character was inspired by one of their unused concepts so I'm taking no credit for that.

This project was very challenging for me. Looking at a piece of art, thinking you get it and actually reproducing it are two very different things. The face in particular gave me more trouble than usual which is why I included a before/after version showing its evolution.

I'm not sure exactly what I'll turn what my head to next but I'm thinking of continuing digging in this direction.

Hope you like her!

Looking really good man! The changes you made to the face made a huge difference. Looks like there's a lot of subtlety involved in getting that style right

Thanks man! Yeah it's a lot of little nudges here and there to find the right balance. It's quite tricky when in tunnel vision mode. What helped me is stepping away from it a couple of days and coming back to address it specifically.

Hair could use anisotropic shading like they do in game. I got an example of how to do that on my Red Star Tracer model from ways back.

Thanks for your feedback @Brian "Panda" Choi ! The hair already has anisotropic shading with a flow map but I guess I didn't manage to successfully replicate their in game results this time around.

@Ouran
Looking Great ! You did a good job replicating Overwatch style. Maybe you should try to add a little details to the hair, like Brian said.
Keep it up !

Definitely know what's like working on an Overwatch project (been working on a tribute for Watchpoint Gibraltar environment for about 2 1/2 years now). You have done this character justice. Have you considered putting some detailing on the arms? Like some tattoos or different artwork? Nevertheless, great job!

@TheUltimateDonGamer Thanks for your kind words and I agree with you there's a good opportunity for some complementary touches on the arms. Cheers!
