Goals

As a student, I would love to be a Blizztern, so I decided to put all my effort into my submission to make it really special. I’m also proud of being a gamer because that makes you think from different perspectives. The idea originated from creating a design that wouldn’t go beyond the paper like a child’s drawing. Then I imagined how it would feel to play with this character… and that’s what I ended up making: an entire game-ready character you could play with, all his mechanics, background and storytelling, while also fitting everything into the Overwatch universe. It was also a fantastic opportunity to make my first approach to stylized art!

Blair’s Story & Planning of the Project

Blair Morgan is a flamboyant renegade raider from Scotland. He built an entire criminal empire from the ashes of the Omnic Crisis, making himself one of the richest humans alive. He is cocky, funny, and always worried about his self-image but he is also crazy. He could be one of the most ruthless men on earth.

Working on the whole project was really hard since I had to go to university as well. So I decided to focus on three main bullet points: the corporate identity of Blizzard to make Blair fit into their flow, the human kind giving the character believable attributes that people can relate to, and making a unique Overwatch character.
