Overwatch players wondering what the game’s iconic heroes would look like in real life need wonder no further, as one artist has created realistic portraits of nearly every hero. From Tracer to Lucio and everyone in between, the Overwatch cast has been given a brand-new look.
Shared by artist _m0us316_ on Reddit, every human member of the Overwatch cast has been painted in a realistic style. While fans of Zenyatta or Bastion may have wanted to see their favorite omnics painted with the rest of the cast, highlighting the differences between the in-game designs of the heroes and the realistic versions would be a bit harder. Regardless of the missing robotic heroes, the post is truly spectacular, as _m0us316_ brings the cast to life in spectacular fashion.
The Redditor mentions in the post’s title that scars, tattoos, and other aspects of the in-game character models are missing from some of the heroes, and this creative decision helps to make the characters seem even more realistic. For example, pulling off a believable take on the tricky troublemaker Junkrat would have been hard to do had his face been covered in smoke, so _m0us316_ made the wise decision of leaving the feature out of the piece. The result is an incredibly natural look for the explosives-loving Australian, making his appearance one of the standout portraits.
Other standouts include McCree and Ashe, as the outlaws look quite different without their signature hats. Fan favorite Overwatch mascot Tracer looks far more normal without her stylized hair, while scientists Mei, Mercy, and Moira look much like one would imagine them to. Widowmaker looks quite different without her eye-catching blue skin, while Sombra, D.Va and Brigitte look like they were ripped straight from a main menu screen. Young versions of Hanzo and Reinhardt are included in the post as well, with even Reaper’s former identity of Gabriel Reyes and Soldier 76’s Jack Morrison persona getting some love from the artist.
Overwatch fans were quick to comment on their favorite realistic hero designs from the post, with Reddit user trumpetpizza1 sharing how well-done the designs for Sigma and Ana are. While other Redditors joked about including a random hamster and gorilla for Overwatch characters Hammond and Winston, most shared just how blown away they were by the special collection of art. With plenty more Overwatch heroes on the way in the game’s upcoming sequel, _m0us316_ will have plenty more opportunities for realistic character portraits.
With the original Overwatch free until January via Battlenet, plenty more gamers can hop into Blizzard’s hero shooter for some artistic inspiration. With these realistic designs being so well done, however, other Overwatch-loving artists are going to have an awfully hard time topping them.
Overwatch is available on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
