Synopsis
My vision for this project was to showcase how an artist can adapt to work within an established art style of an existing IP which I intended to achieve through the creation of a 3D game ready character. My goal was to design an original character in the style of Blizzards ‘Overwatch’, replicating the same design philosophy and construction methods as Blizzard as closely as I could by researching the games visual style. As Overwatch’s characters often have a heavy cultural influence from the characters respective country or place of origin, I also aimed to create my original character with Celtic and Pictish influences during the design process.
Morrigan: An insight into adopting visual styles
This project is a study of Overwatch's visual style and construction techniques resulting in a 3D character that aims to fit in the Overwatch universe.

Project Motivation
My personal motivation for this project was to expand my artistic ability in recreating existing styles to not only achieve a more diverse portfolio but also to show potential employers that I can work as an adaptable junior artist within the industry.
