Overwatch Fan Concept Design - Magnetra WIP

Work in Progress - Rather than simply doing fan art, I am approaching this as if I were designing new heroes for Blizzard in an official capacity, coming up with more than just design, but also characteristics and abilities as well. Still have to clean up the line-work, and likely add a lighting pass, but the ground-work has been laid. My Overwatch designs are going to be approached in two different ways. The first being to fill gaps in the character roster already in the game. The second, which applies to Magnetra, is made to express the kind of characters/abilities I would like to play for myself.

  1. I really like the idea of this character. If I can make one suggestion: if you are going for an "official" take on the character may I suggest an anti gravity base instead of magnetism? It would then be perfect for any map instead of just metal surfaces. And the bug can instead suspend a single target in the air much like zaryas ult. Still love the character though! Great job! And if you want I can help with the backstory and lore for your character too if you're interested to hear a random persons idea :)
