@HazeletOW @HazeletOW , you are correct about the OW characters cosplaying as other collab characters. OW wants to keep the identity & artstyle of the characters through the various collabs, something other IPs are not always so concerned with. That's our line in the sand.

Cool! Loved setting up & lighting this Mythic Mercy piece for Season 10. The team went hard with this season. Itching to do a non-Talon char too if I get the time. Would people like hi-res windows wallpapers of some of these images?

@achilleshater This true. Another small fact, most skins require us to make additional tweaks to many of the poses (& animations) to account for changes to the skin topology or the theme. It's part of the "hidden work" that goes with every skin.

Bless my doggo, Toki. She has a brain as smooth as a marble. Not single wrinkle in that cranium. She understands the word "rabbit" & knows one is around when I whisper it. But she perks up and looks in every direction EXCEPT where I'm pointing. She's a smooth brain cutie.
