The other half of the chibi set I did for the Death row Convicts arc. I tried really hard to balance the cutesy chibi style with the obvious muscular definition and bold shaping of their faces. It’s all about the Big Anime Eyes. I also didn’t fully color everyone’s skin, but I made a point to not whitewash dark characters.
I tried to make Yanagi as gray and lifeless as possible to reflect his bitchy one-foot-in-the-grave snootiness. Of course Retsu is very special to me, so I put a lot of love into his chibi. And Kosho… boy… had to amplify his goth queen energy.
Please tell me that you love them. My wrists hurt.
I saw a lot of people complaining about how the girl’s faces in overwatch are all the same, so I decided to do the test and see if people were right or they were just overreacting.
I did this face retrace to see clearly if the overwatch girls had the same faces syndrome compared to the guys and what I found out was pretty interesting.
The first thing that jumped into my eyes were the fact that the faces type on the girl side ARE PRETTY DIFFERENT! Some girls have pretty squared shaped face like Symmetra and Brigitte, other have really round faces like Mei, Widow or Sombra and others are in between with a round face, but a really squared jaw like Tracer or Pharah. I do have to admit that most of the girls noses are the same which is a shame, but beside that they face are different shapes.
After being a lil’ bit happier about the fact that even if the girls looks like they have the same face, but they really don’t, I got scared to compare on the guys side. I thought that maybe all the lil’ subtle differences might not be strong enough to go against the guys faces, but I was quite surprised.
I realized that most of the guy’s faces are squared shaped and nothing else. There’s always the cheek bones that migh make a difference from one character to another. The only exceptions being Junkrat (with his long face ), Hanzo ( with his more pointy chin ) and Mccree ( with his jaw and chin being standing out more than his forehead ).
So yeah! What we should ask blizzard on their faces designs is to make more guys with round faces!
